Abstract:
A millimeter wave radio link in which the transceivers have most of its components fabricated on a single chip or chipset of a small number of semiconductor chips. The chip or chipsets when mass produced is expected to make the price of millimeter wave radios comparable to many of the lower-priced microwave radios available today from low-cost foreign suppliers. Preferred embodiments of the present invention operate in the range of about 3.5 Gbps to more than 10 Gbps. The transceivers of a preferred embodiment are designed to receive binary input data at an input data rate in 10.3125 Gbps and to transmit at a transmit data rate in of 10.3125 Gbps utilizing encoded three-bit data symbols on a millimeter carrier wave at E-Band frequencies. Preferred embodiments include an averaging technique that greatly improves bit error rates. A constellation averaging technique is utilized to improve bit error rates.
