1. A self configuring transceiver module, for use in a modular transceiver system of a radio communication network operating at an RF frequency within an RF frequency range, the transceiver module comprising:

  • an RF unit for generating and receiving RF signals in the RF frequency range;

    an ID port for receiving an identification signal from a connected functional module, said identification signal characterising said functional module;

    detection circuitry for identifying the nature of the functional module from the identification signal and for configuring the transceiver system in response thereto; and

    an interrogation circuit for generating an interrogation signal and an output for transmitting the interrogation signal to the connection functional module, said interrogation signal being generated at a frequency which is less than {fraction (1/10)} of the RF frequency signal.
