Abstract
A microwave system comprises an antenna, antenna feed, a radio transceiver, and appropriate cabling among the aforementioned. Cost, performance and reliability improvements are achieved with further integration of these elements and with design improvements in the antenna feed. One improvement is the integration of the radio transceiver with the antenna feed. This improvement has many benefits including the elimination of RF cables and connectors. Another improvement is the utilization of the digital cable to power the integrated radio transceiver and a center fed parabolic reflector. One embodiment is disclosed for a radio gateway supporting OSI layers 1-7 supported by an Ethernet cable. Another embodiment is a radio with a client controller suitable for supporting OSI layers 1-3, and supported by a USB cable.
