Fully integrated radio frequency terminal system

An integrated radio frequency terminal system comprising:

• an integrated modem including:
• a baseband modem device configured to receive user data and communicate user data to and from a user device via a digital interface cable,
• a transmit tuner connected to the baseband modem device and configured to receive the user data and convert the user data from baseband to a radio frequency band without converting to an intermediate frequency band, and
• a receive tuner connected to the baseband modem device and configured to convert received incoming data in the radio frequency band to baseband without converting to an intermediate frequency band and provide the converted incoming data to the baseband modem device;
• and
• an antenna device connected to the integrated modem and configured to transmit the user data in the radio frequency band and receive the incoming data in the radio frequency band.

A method of transmitting user data, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an integrated modem located proximal to an antenna device, user data in baseband frequency;
• converting, by the integrated modem, the user data from baseband frequency to radio frequency;
• receiving, by the antenna device, the converted user data;
• and
• transmitting, by the antenna device, the converted user data in radio frequency.
