Abstract
A communications device includes a signal input for receiving both wideband and in-band, narrowband communication signals having wideband communications data that is transmitted over a wideband communications channel and narrowband communications data that is transmitted within an in-band, narrowband channels over the same wideband communications channel. A circuit splits the communications signals into a wideband signal channel and narrowband signal channels. A narrowband filter within the wideband signal channel filters the wideband communications signal and removes any narrowband communications signals. A demodulator within the wideband signal channel demodulates the filtered wideband communications signal to obtain any wideband communications data. An in-band, narrowband demodulators are positioned within the narrowband signal channels and demodulate the narrowband communications signals to obtain any narrowband communications data.
