Abstract: A communications system that uses electromagnetic waves. The communications system preferably operates in the millimeter-wave frequencies, and provides relatively high signal restoration and isolation. The communications system can use polarization diversity to increase the capacity of a channel. Isolation and restoration features in the transceivers eliminate or reduce the effects of precipitation and/or reflection and diffraction from objects, and thus is well-suited for an urban environment. The transceiver will select the proper antenna and signal path for optimal information throughput as the conditions in the propagation medium of the network vary.

Abstract: A method an apparatus for controlling frequency of a multi-channel transmitter. A reference frequency is generated and emitted to a thermally stable frequency discriminator. The thermally stable frequency discriminator emits a dc voltage to a plurality of individual oscillators. The individual oscillators in continuous wave mode or modulated by baseband signals are combined into a multi-channel signal at an intermediate range of frequencies. The multi-channel intermediate range of frequencies are preferably amplified and emitted as an output signal. At relatively lower frequencies, such as 4-6 GHz, up-conversion of the output signal is not necessary. At relatively higher frequencies, an up-converter can be used to employ a second thermally stable frequency discriminator.
