- b. a millimeter wave amplifier circuitry adapted to amplify phase shifted carrier signals received from the second transceiver;
- 4) an antenna system adapted to convert the phase shifted E-band radio transmit beams to produce a narrow band E-Band “pencil beam” confined within a single narrow channel less than 1.2 degrees wide and to collect phase shifted E-band radio beams transmitted from the second transceiver;
