Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing wireless backhaul transport. One element of the system is a highly integrated radio transceiver, including an integrated antenna. The radio transceiver may operate in the millimeter wave range (between 30 GHz and 300 GHz), and due to the small wavelengths, it is possible to integrate the antenna, which would typically compromise a number of antenna elements, with the radio transceiver in a single integrated circuit (IC) package, commonly referred to as a system-in-package (SiP) and/or antenna-in-package (AiP) format. In some implementations, the band that a hardware module can exploit is the unlicensed 60 GHz band, which is generally available globally.

The system supports multi-hop point-to-multipoint or multi-hop mesh networking topologies. Low level MAC routing tables are built and maintained to enable efficient packet and frame forwarding.

Abstract: A method for displaying a plurality of error measures for an error-containing digitally modulated signal formed of a first and a second orthogonal component includes: determining for each digital value a value for an error-free version of the modulated signal; determining for each digital value a value for the error-containing version of the modulated signal; determining for each digital value a vector difference between the value for the error-containing version of the modulated signal and the respective value for the error-free version of the modulated signal; and displaying the vector differences on a two-dimensional display, each difference being displayed with respect to the respective value for the error-free version of the modulated signal, the display providing the plurality of error measures.

Abstract: A method for measuring amplifier gain compression in an OFDM signal includes measuring the signal as a function of time to provide an observed time magnitude, demodulating the OFDM signal to determine an estimate of the ideal signal constellation points, performing an inverse FFT on the estimate of the ideal constellation points to produce an estimated ideal time magnitude, comparing the observed time magnitude to the estimated ideal time magnitude to provide a measure of amplifier gain compression.
