Abstract
A radio module for a wireless communication node in a wireless mesh network includes a reflectarray antenna having a plurality of antenna elements. Each antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements is configured to receive an incident signal, apply one of two phase shifts to the incident signal, and radiate the phase-shifted signal. The radio module further includes a radio frequency (RF) module comprising a single RF chain configured to feed the incident signal to the plurality of antenna elements in the reflectarray antenna, as well as a control unit that is configured to control which of the two phase shifts is applied by each antenna element in the reflectarray antenna.
