Abstract
A millimeter wave radio transceiver having all or substantially all of its components fabricated on a single chip or chipset of a small number of semiconductor chips. The chip or chipsets when mass produced is expected to make the price of millimeter wave radios comparable to many of the lower-priced microwave radios available today from low-cost foreign suppliers. Transceivers of the present invention operate in the range of about 1 Gbps to more than 10 Gbps. The transceiver of a preferred embodiment is designed to receive binary input data at an input data rate in 10.3125 Gbps and to transmit at a transmit data rate in of 10.3125 Gbps utilizing encoded three-bit data symbols on a millimeter carrier wave at a millimeter wave nominal carrier frequency in excess of 70 GHz.
