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.
