RADIO SYSTEM FOR LONG-RANGE HIGH-SPEED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A radio device for point-to-point transmission of high bandwidth signals, the device comprising:
- a housing comprising a first parabolic reflector and a second parabolic reflector wherein the first and second reflectors are aimed directionally parallel with each other;
a transmitter feed coupled to the first parabolic reflector;
a receiver feed coupled to the second parabolic reflector; and
a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising both a first transmitter connected to the transmitter feed and a first receiver connected to the receiver feed.

Abstract
Devices and systems, and methods of using them, for point-to-point transmission/communication of high bandwidth signals. Radio devices and systems may include a pair of reflectors (e.g., parabolic reflectors) that are adjacent to each other and configured so that one of the reflectors is dedicated for sending/transmitting information, and the adjacent reflector is dedicated for receiving information. Both reflectors may be in a fixed configuration relative to each other so that they are aligned to send/receive in parallel. In many variations the two reflectors are formed of a single housing, so that the parallel alignment is fixed, and reflectors cannot lose alignment. The device/systems may be configured to allow switching between duplexing modes. These devices/systems may be configured as wide bandwidth zero intermediate frequency radios including alignment modules for automatic alignment of in-phase and quadrature components of transmitted signals.

13. A radio device for point-to-point transmission of high bandwidth signals, the device comprising:
-
a housing forming a pair of reflectors including a first reflector and a second reflector, wherein the pair of reflectors are situated on a front side of the antenna housing unit and aimed directionally parallel with each other; and a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising at least a transmitter and a receiver, wherein the transmitter couples with the first reflector to form a dedicated transmitting antenna configured to transmit but not to received and the receiver couples with the second reflector to form a dedicated receiving antenna configured to receive but not to transmit. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
