This invention provides a novel
millimeter-wave network radio, comprising: an
radome, a
radio frequency (RF) front-end, a
chassis, a
local oscillator module, a power supply, and a
baseband processing unit. The
radome is located at the top of the
millimeter-wave radio, the power supply and
baseband processing unit at the bottom, and the RF front-end between the
radome and the
chassis. The
local oscillator module is located between the power supply and
baseband processing unit and the
chassis, which is located in the middle of the
millimeter-wave radio. This invention employs
phased array technology to achieve rapid antenna
beam scanning and alignment, enabling rapid directional communication. Unlike the omnidirectional antennas used in traditional radios, this technology improves the antenna's directional
gain, offsetting
signal attenuation in the millimeter-
wave band and thus increasing communication distance. This invention features a miniaturized design, employing highly integrated multi-channel
transceiver chips to achieve a miniaturized tile-type T / R component design, reducing the size of the millimeter-wave radio. This invention also utilizes
broadband communication algorithms and
beamforming algorithms.
