RF transceiver with adjustable antenna assembly
First Claim
1. A radio frequency (RF) transceiver comprises:
- a baseband processing module;
a configurable receiver section;
a configurable transmitter section; and
a configurable antenna assembly, wherein, when the RF transceiver is in a first mode;
the baseband processing module is coupled to;
convert outbound data into an outbound symbol stream;
convert an inbound symbol stream into inbound data;
generate a transmit adjust signal; and
generate a receive adjust signal;
the configurable receiver section is coupled to convert an inbound RF signal into the inbound symbol stream;
the configurable transmitter section is coupled to convert the outbound symbol stream into an outbound RF signal; and
the configurable antenna assembly is coupled to receive the inbound RF signal via a first antenna structure and to transmit the outbound RF signal via a second antenna structure, wherein at least one of the first antenna structure and the configurable receiver section adjusts at least one of phase and amplitude of the inbound RF signal in accordance with the receive adjust signal, and wherein at least one of the second antenna structure and the configurable transmitter section adjusts at least one of phase and amplitude of the outbound RF signal in accordance with the transmit adjust signal.

Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) transceiver includes a baseband processing module, a configurable receiver section, a configurable transmitter section and a configurable antenna assembly. The baseband processing module converts outbound data into an outbound symbol stream, converts an inbound symbol stream into inbound data and generates a transmit adjust signal and a receive adjust signal. The receiver section converts an inbound RF signal into the inbound symbol stream. The transmitter section converts the outbound symbol stream into an outbound RF signal. The antenna assembly receives the inbound RF signal via a first antenna structure and transmits the outbound RF signal via a second antenna structure. The first antenna structure and/or the configurable receiver section adjusts phase and/or amplitude of the inbound RF signal in accordance with the receive adjust signal. The second antenna structure and/or the configurable transmitter section adjusts phase and/or amplitude of the outbound RF signal in accordance with the transmit adjust signal.
