Abstract :
This paper reports the investigation on a low cost transceiver for use in point-to-point wireless infrastructure systems operating in the frequency range 14.2 to 15.4 GHz. The issues and tradeoffs encountered when designing a high frequency radio on soft board materials are thoroughly discussed and the main experimental results are presented. A direct modulation system is used in the transmitter, which is capable of delivering an output power of +22 dBm. The receiver noise figure is better than 3.6 dB with a conversion gain of 20.0 dB
