Abstract
A monolithic integrated circuit for use in a microwave backhaul system may comprise a plurality of microwave transceivers and outdoor-unit to indoor-unit (ODU/IDU) interface circuitry. The monolithic integrated circuit may be configurable into an all-outdoor configuration in which the ODU/IDU interface circuitry is disabled. The monolithic integrated circuit may be configurable into a split-indoor-and-outdoor configuration in which the ODU/IDU interface circuitry is enabled to communicate signals between an outdoor unit of the microwave backhaul system and an indoor unit of the microwave backhaul system. While the monolithic integrated circuit is configured in the split-indoor-and-outdoor configuration, the ODU/IDU interface circuitry may be configurable to operate in at least a non-stacking mode and a stacking mode.
