Abstract:
1. An outdoor radio communication system housed in a single enclosure, comprising: a first transceiver, wherein the first transceiver includes a first receiver and a first transmitter; a second transceiver, wherein the second transceiver includes a second receiver and a second transmitter; a communication interface unit communicatively coupled to the first transceiver and the second transceiver, wherein the communication interface unit further includes: an RF in-phase transmit combiner communicatively coupled to the first transmitter and the second transmitter, wherein the RF in-phase transmit combiner receives a phase-aligned RF signal from each respective transmitter, such that the two phase-aligned RF signals originate from the same source in the communication interface unit, and the RF in-phase transmit combiner creates a third, gain-enhanced RF signal from the combination of the two phase-aligned RF signals; an antenna coupling unit communicatively coupled to the RF in-phase transmit combiner and the first receiver of the first transceiver; and a receive filter communicatively coupled to the second receiver.
