Abstract: Noise is input to a frequency generation circuit which includes a demodulator stage with a multiplier circuit in which the noise is multiplied by means of a feedback signal. The result of the multiplication in the demodulator stage is passed through a low pass filter. In a modulation wipe-off stage of the frequency generation circuit, the sign of the filtered multiplier output is extracted using a comparator circuit. The comparator circuit output is passed to a correlator circuit. In the correlator circuit, the comparator circuit output multiplies a delayed version of the input noise which is provided by a delay circuit element. The correlator circuit generates quadrature signals. Summation of the quadrature signals followed by bandpass filtering and amplitude limiting yields a discrete synthesized frequency signal.

Abstract: A wireless transmitter and receiver are used in a wireless telecommunication system and method including antennas having at least one antenna element with a relatively narrow beamwidth at both the transmitter and receiver for high data rate communication. The antenna element provides beam coverage in both azimuthal and elevational directions, and a processor is operatively connected to the antenna and is capable of determining a suitable communication path with respect to the at least one antenna element and predetermined communications conditions.
