Abstract
A system for transmitting digital signals in the same band and on the same channel with FM signals is disclosed. The design of the system according to the present invention includes a coupler, which may be a +3 dB hybrid quadrature coupler, and circularly polarized antenna. The +3 dB hybrid quadrature coupler maintains isolation between the FM signals and the digital signals. The circularly polarized antenna receives the FM signals and the digital signals, and transmits the signals after they have each been separately received at the circularly polarized antenna.
