A broadband signal radio communication device which is capable of
transmitting audio signals in a frequency band wider than a normal
transmission band from 0 to 4 kHz in a radio system such as Bluetooth
which employs a radio communication link through weak radiowaves. A
plurality of channels are set between the same master and slave out of
three channels maximally available on a synchronous connection oriented
(SCO) communication link. The band of a transmitted audio signal is
divided into a plurality of sub-bands each having a bandwidth of 4 kHz
using a sub-band analysis approach, and the signals in the respective
bands are assigned to associated SCO links for transmission. On the
reception side, the signals in the respective bands, received through the
plurality of SCO links, are synthesized by a sub-band synthesis approach
to reproduce an audio signal having the original frequency band.
