1. A wireless cable television (CATV) broadcast signal repeater, comprising:

  • an up-converter, to receive an original CATV amplitude modulated link (AML) broadcast signal having an original form and up convert the signal to a millimeter wavelength up-converted signal having a nominal base frequency of 60 gigahertz (GHz);

    a transmitter, operatively coupled to the up-converter, to transmit the up-converted signal via free space;

    a receiver antenna, to receive the transmitted up-converted signal from the transmitter; and

    a down-converter, operatively coupled to the 60 GHz receiver antenna, to down convert the up-converted signal to produce a repeated CATV AML broadcast signal substantially matching the original CATV AML broadcast signal, wherein the nominal 60 GHz base frequency corresponds to a frequency within the range of 57-64 GHz and the transmitter and receiver antennas operate at a corresponding frequency.
