1. A method of transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal comprising:

  • receiving a digital signal at a radio transceiver, wherein the radio transceiver is located on a printed circuit board, the printed circuit board is positioned along an axis of symmetry of a parabolic reflector, said circuit board having a distal portion positioned towards a focal point of the parabolic reflector, said circuit board having a proximal portion positioned away from the focal point of the parabolic reflector;

    generating an RF signal from the radio transceiver, wherein the RF signal is coupled to an antenna feed conductor which in turn is coupled to an active antenna element located on the distal portion of the printed circuit board;

    radiating radio waves from the active antenna element;

    reflecting focused radio waves off a sub-reflector toward the parabolic reflector;

    receiving the digital signal at a digital connector, said digital connector located on a surface of the printed circuit board;

    directing the digital signal from the digital connector to the radio transceiver, andpowering the radio transceiver from the digital connector;

    wherein the radio transceiver includes a client controller that supports OSI layers.
