Abstract
An RF communication system includes a wideband receiver for receiving an RF signal; a wideband receive signal path for processing the received RF signal, a wideband transmit signal path for processing a transmit RF signal to be transmitted; a wideband transmitter for transmitting the transmit RF signal at a selected transmit frequency and a selected transmit polarization; and a processor for controlling a plurality of beam forming circuits for performing signal processing and waveform generation, wherein the processor maximizes an effective radiated power (ERP) of the communication system within a predetermined ERP limit by switching the wideband transmitter between at least one of multiple transmit frequencies and multiple transmit polarizations to form an aggregate, time-averaged signal as the transmit RF signal.
