Patent ID: 8472884

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a local oscillator that generates a local oscillator signal and a pulse signal; a distribution network that is coupled to the local oscillator so as to at least distribute the local oscillator signal; a plurality of transceivers, wherein each transceiver has a radiator, a transmit path that is coupled to the radiator, and a receive path that is coupled to the radiator, and wherein the transmit path for each transceiver includes: a phase shifter is coupled to the distribution network so as to receive the local oscillator signal; a multiplier that is coupled to the phase shifter so as to receive a phase shifted local oscillator signal; a injection-locked voltage controlled oscillator (ILVCO) that is coupled to the multiplier; and a power amplifier (PA) that is coupled to the ILVCO and that receives the pulse signal; and receiver circuitry that is coupled to the receive path for each of the transceivers.
