    (54) Method for transferring, by means of a radio relay system radiophonic signals for isofrequency broadcasting


    (57) The frequency of the "isofrequency" radiophonic signal (fI) is converted by beating together with a fixed frequency generated by a local oscillator (12) controlled by a reference oscillator (14) according to a constant factor. By using band-pass filtering, an intermediate carrier frequency signal (fP), equal to the difference between the frequency of the radiophonic signal and the fixed frequency, is extracted and transmitted over the radio relay system together with the reference frequency. At the receiving end, the signal received from the radio relay system is filtered in two band-pass filters (20, 22) so as to isolate the intermediate signal and the reference frequency. The fixed frequency is reconstructed from the reference frequency by multiplying by the above mentioned factor, and the intermediate signal is reconverted by beating together with the fixed frequency; filtering so as to reobtain the original radiophonic signal. The method can be extended to the transmission of a plurality of radiophonic signals with a single reference frequency on a same radio relay system.
