Assignee:
Endwave Corporation - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
H04B 15/00
US Classification:
455 62, 455524, 4555621
Abstract:
A wireless communication system that provides energy efficient, high bandwidth and low cost wireless communication. In one embodiment, the communication system utilizes a fan out, pencil beam arrangement in which electro-magnetic energy is transmitted from a hub to customer premises equipment (CPE) with a fan or similar antenna and from the CPEs to the hub via pencil beam antennas. The pencil beam antennas provided higher link margin. The hub may include a shared aperture antenna device for receiving pencil beam transmissions from the CPEs. A shared aperture antenna device may also be used for transmission from the hub to the CPEs.

US Classification:
455011100
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for improving the performance of a conventional cellular telephone system. In a conventional system, a base station () located in a cell () both sends and receives signals to and from handheld phones (). In one embodiment, the present invention employs a relay transceiver () located in the cell () to relay signals () from handheld phones () to the a base station (). The handheld () still receives signals () directly from the base station (), but the return signal () back to the base station () is accomplished through the relay transceiver ().
