Abstract:
1. An apparatus including a radio frequency (RF) transceiver for providing substantially coincident communication of RF and related baseband control signals, comprising: an at least partial enclosure substantially defining a volume; a plurality of interface terminals substantially contained within said volume and including transmitter baseband signal and control circuitry substantially contained within said volume, coupled to at least one of said plurality of control terminals and responsive to a plurality of transmission data and a plurality of outgoing control data by providing one or more transmitter baseband signals and said one or more outgoing control signals, respectively, wherein at least a portion of said plurality of outgoing control data is related to at least a portion of said plurality of transmission data; RF transmitter circuitry substantially contained within said volume, coupled to said transmitter baseband signal and control circuitry and at least one of said plurality of RF terminals, and responsive to at least one of said one or more transmitter baseband signals by providing at least one of said one or more RF output signals, wherein said at least one of said one or more RF output signals corresponds to said at least one of said one or more transmitter baseband signals; RF receiver circuitry substantially contained within said volume, coupled to at least one of said plurality of RF terminals and responsive to at least one of said one or more RF input signals by providing one or more receiver baseband signals; and receiver baseband signal and control circuitry substantially contained within said volume, coupled to said RF receiver circuitry and at least one of said plurality of control terminals, and responsive to at least one of said one or more receiver baseband signals and at least one of said one or more incoming control signals by providing a plurality of reception data and a plurality of incoming control data, wherein at least a portion of said plurality of incoming control data is related to at least a portion of said plurality of reception data.
