Abstract

A potential solution for building ad-hoc networks is described. It is based on the Technoconcepts' TSR chipset. This chipset provides direct conversion of RF signals to baseband. Such RF/DTM chips convert the received signals into digital form immediately after the antenna, making it possible to provide all required signal processing in digital form, thus allowing adaptive frequency bands free of interference. This flexibility provides the most favorable conditions for quality communications. The offered solution has its own set of challenges. The paper describes the major challenges, and the potential ways of addressing them. An example of possible ad-hoc network architectures is presented that is based on the RF/D™ chips.
