Radio system for long-range high-speed wireless communication
First Claim
1. A radio assembly, comprising:
- a pair of reflectors positioned on a front side of the radio assembly, wherein a first reflector of the pair of reflectors has a diameter that is smaller than that of a second reflector, and wherein a portion of the first reflector overlaps with the second reflector;
a hollow enclosure on a back side of the radio assembly positioned directly behind the pair of reflectors; and
a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising at least a transmitter circuitry and a receiver circuitry, wherein the PCB is positioned inside the hollow enclosure, wherein the transmitter circuitry is coupled to the first reflector of the pair of reflectors, and wherein the receiver circuitry is coupled to the second reflector of the pair of reflectors.

Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a radio assembly. The radio assembly includes an antenna housing unit that houses a pair of reflectors which are situated on a front side of the antenna housing unit, a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes at least a transmitter and a receiver, and a backside cover. The PCB is situated within a cavity at a backside of the antenna housing unit and the backside cover covers the cavity, thereby enclosing the PCB within the antenna housing unit. One embodiment of the present invention provides a user interface for configuring a radio. The user interface includes a display and a number of selectable tabs presented on the display. A selection of a respective tab results in a number of user-editable fields being displayed, thereby facilitating a user in configuring and monitoring operations of the radio.

10. A wireless communication system, comprising:
-
a pair of radios communicating with each other;
wherein each radio comprises;a pair of reflectors positioned on a front side of the radio, wherein a first reflector of the pair of reflectors has a diameter that is smaller than that of a second reflector, and wherein a portion of the first reflector overlaps with the second reflector; a hollow enclosure on a back side of the radio positioned directly behind the pair of reflectors; a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising at least a transmitter circuitry and a receiver circuitry, wherein the PCB is positioned inside the hollow enclosure, wherein the transmitter circuitry is coupled to the first reflector of the pair of reflectors, and wherein the receiver circuitry is coupled to the second reflector of the pair of reflectors; and wherein the radios are configured in a way that reflectors of a first radio face reflectors of a second radio. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
