Abstract:
1. Integrated microwave transceiver, modular tile structure comprising a first, generally planar, circuit-board layer structure including a planar portion and an array of plural, integrally formed microwave transceivers having body portions arranged in a defined row-and-column pattern, each of said transceivers possessing an associated transceiver axis extending generally normal to the plane of said first layer structure, with the planar portion of said first circuit-board layer structure and the body portions of said plural transceivers being integrally molded of a common material, and at least a second, generally planar, circuit-board layer structure including transceiver-function operational circuitry operatively connected to said transceivers functional to promote operation of the transceivers simultaneously in transmission and reception modes of operation, said first and second layer structures collectively forming at least portions of a rectilinear, cube-like, three-dimensional configuration for the tile structure.
