Abstract
A point-to-point radio frequency unit/antenna has a flat antenna, preferably a continuous transverse stub antenna, integrated into the housing of the microwave unit. The radio frequency unit/antenna includes a housing having an exterior wall, a microwave radio frequency transceiver electronics package within the housing and having an antenna connection, and a flat antenna affixed to one face of the exterior wall of the housing. A microwave radio frequency feed communicates between the flat antenna and the antenna connection of the microwave transceiver electronics package. There is preferably a bracket structure on another face of the housing to affix the housing to a support.
