Abstract
A converted analog radio (71) is disclosed for converting an analog microwave hop (70) to a new operating frequency. The converted analog radio (71) comprises an analog radio (72) operable to communicate microwave signals at a first frequency, a digital radio (74) operable to communicate microwave signals at a second frequency, and a conversion assembly (76). Reception components (40, 42, 44) and transmission components (56, 58, 60, 62) of the digital radio (74) are used to communicate at the new operating frequency. Intermediate frequency components (26, 28, 30, 32) of the analog radio (72) are used to process intermediate frequency signals, and the conversion assembly (76) is used to convert from the prior operating frequency to an intermediate frequency for use by the transmission components (56, 58, 60, 62) of the digital radio (74).
