1. A method of wireless communications using a transceiver having a receiver and transmitter, comprising:

  • programming at least one of the receiver and the transmitter to process communication protocol for a local area network or a personal area network;

    receiving a first signal at the receiver from a wireless source; and

    transmitting a second signal from the transmitter into space,wherein the programming comprises programming a demodulator with a demodulation, wherein the receiver comprises a low intermediate frequency (IF) heterodyne architecture, wherein the transmitter, the receiver and a local oscillator (LO) are integrated on a single integrated circuit chip, wherein the LO comprises a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a frequency divider and a mixer, wherein an output of the VCO is operatively coupled to an input of the frequency divider and to an input of the mixer, wherein an output of frequency divider is operatively coupled to the input of the mixer, and wherein the output of the mixer is operatively coupled to a downconverter of the receiver that downconverts the received first signal and to an upconverter of the transmitter, wherein the second signal has been upconverted by the upconverter of the transmitter.
