A novel circuit architecture is disclosed for achieving audio, tone, and digital data signal modulation in a full duplex radio transceiver. A single signal source is utilized to generate both transmitted carrier and receiver local oscillator injection signals. Yet the architecture is such that the transmitted data does not appear at the receiver's discriminator output--while a 'side tone' of transmitted audio does so appear. The audio to be transmitted is used to frequency modulate a VCO and provide the receiver first mixer injection signal as well as a 'carrier' input to a phase modulator. The data/tone signals are on the other hand, combined and integrated in a complex waveform and input to control the phase modulator. The resulting FM (data/tone and voice) output from the phase modulator is then input to a conventional duplexed r.f. transmitter.
