Abstract

An outdoor radio communication system housed in a single enclosure comprises a first transceiver, a second transceiver, a communication interface unit, an RF in-phase transmit combiner, an antenna coupling unit and a receive filter. The first transceiver includes a first receiver and a first transmitter. The second transceiver includes a second receiver and a second transmitter. The two transceivers are communicatively coupled with the communication interface unit. The RF in-phase transmit combiner, communicatively coupled to the first transmitter and the second transmitter, receives a phase-aligned RF signal from each transmitter, to create a third RF signal with enhanced signal gain. The two phase-aligned RF signals originate from the same source in the communication interface unit. The antenna coupling unit is communicatively coupled to the RF in-phase transmit combiner and the first receiver, and the receive filter is communicatively coupled to the second receiver.
