Claim 0:
1. A transceiver comprising:
an array of circuit elements, each of the circuit elements coupled to an antenna, the circuit elements including
an analog frequency converter configured to up-convert a first analog signal to a first radio frequency (RF) signal for transmission, and to down-convert a second RF signal to a second analog signal for reception,
an analog beam weighting circuit configured to apply a beam weight to both of the first analog signal and the second analog signal to form a beam for the transmission and the reception, the beam weight based on a position of the circuit element in the array, and
an analog delay element configured to impart a time delay to the first analog signal and the second analog signal, the time delay based on the position of the circuit element in the array;

a digital to analog converter (DAC) configured to convert a digital signal, for transmission, into the first analog signal; and
an analog to digital converter (ADC) configured to convert the second analog signal to a received digital signal.
