Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable media of a relay having instructions stored thereon, the relay comprising (i) a donor side including a donor receive antenna and a donor transmit antenna, the donor receive antenna being coupled to first receive intermediate frequency (IF) circuitry included in a first IF chain, and the donor transmit antenna being coupled to first transmit IF circuitry included in a second IF chain, and (ii) an access side including an access transmit antenna and an access receive antenna, the access transmit antenna being coupled to second transmit IF circuitry included in the first IF chain, and the access receive antenna being coupled to second receive IF circuitry included in the second IF chain, the instructions being executed by one or more processors of the relay to cause the relay to:
transmit, via the donor transmit antenna using a first IF chain that is coupled to the access receive antenna and to the donor transmit antenna, signals based on signals received via the access receive antenna; and
transmit, via the access transmit antenna using a second IF chain that is coupled to the donor receive antenna and to the access transmit antenna, signals based on signals received via the donor receive antenna,
wherein the transmitting and receiving of signals via each of the first IF chain and the second IF chain occurs independently of one another,
wherein the first receive IF circuitry and the first transmit IF circuitry are physically separated from one another, and
wherein the second receive IF circuitry and the second transmit IF circuitry are physically separated from one another.
