Radio transceiver and radio communication system

Abstract

A wireless radio transceiver (610) has at least one radio transmitter (613, 614) and at least one radio receiver (616, 617), and a transmitter 611; 662) antenna coupled to the transmitter (613, 614) and a neighbouring receiver antenna (612) coupled to the receiver (616, 617), the transmitter and receiver antennas (611, 612) being disposed adjacent to each other such that a space is defined therebetween, the transmitter and receiver antennas (611, 612) being configured to communicate simultaneously with a remote radio transceiver (660). The wireless radio transceiver (610) also has i) electromagnetic wave attenuation material (811) which is disposed at least partially within the space defined between the transmitter and receiver antennas (611, 612) (for minimising direct antenna-to-antenna interference) and ii) a reflection interference cancellation digital signal processing module (621) which is configured to cancel interference in a signal received by the receiver (616, 617), wherein the interference is as a result of reflection of a signal (602) transmitted by the transmitter (613, 614) (for minimising reflected or indirect antenna-to-antenna interference).
