Abstract
A microwave backhaul architecture having a dual channel over a single interconnect is provided. The backhaul architecture includes an indoor communication unit and an outdoor communication unit (ODU), which may include an N-Plexer configured to perform decouple one or more transmitted signals from one or more received signals. The ODU also includes an RF module, an analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converter (ADC/DAC) and a digital signal processor (DSP) configured to process received data in the digital domain such that errors may be detected and/or corrected. Further, the backhaul architecture is configured to allow two transmission channels and two receipt channels to coexist on the single interconnect. The single interconnect may be implemented such that the two transmission and receipt Channels may support communication at a highest possible baud rate. Thus, the single interconnect allows for data to be communicated to the ODU over two communication channels, without having to add an additional interconnect.
