Abstract: Disclosed are wireless communication systems and methods for calibrating same. The communication systems may include first wireless transceivers having: (a) a modem, and (b) one or more Radio Frequency (RF) chain pairs. There may also be included a sounding circuit block. A calibrated switchable bridging block (CSBB) may switchably couple signals between the first transceivers and the sounding circuit block. Calibration control logic may regulate signal flow through said CSBB during a sounding sequence of said first wireless transceiver and may apply compensation coefficients to RF compensation circuits functionally associated with said the wireless transceiver RF chain pairs.

Abstract: An antenna featuring a pair of radiating elements. Each pair of radiating element is fed from the same input. Each radiating element is a stacked antenna made of feeding patch and radiating patch featuring cross recessed corners. Moreover, the corners of a radiating patch and the corners of its feeding patch are cut in opposite directions. The use of recessed corner patches result in improved cross-polarization. Improved cross-polarization leads to better isolation between radiating elements of an array antenna and to an antenna featuring improved isolation from its surroundings.

Abstract: A method and device for adjacent channels operation based on downconverting the input signal to an IF signal, filtering the IF signal, and upconverting the filtered IF signal to the original frequency. The present invention is primarily directed to applications involving the use of standard RF transceiver which does not incorporate a high Q filter. Moreover, the present invention may be used with a circular polarized cross recessed corners stacked array antenna in order to further improve its adjacent channels operation performance.
