Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a high speed wireless communication system are disclosed. The high speed wireless links are accomplished using relatively narrow beams (<1°). These beams are produced using rotational motion at a base station in the center of a cell. In one embodiment of the invention, a radio and an antenna are mounted on a rotating element attached to a vertical mast. In another embodiment, a rotating mirror is employed to produce reflected beams. The present invention may be implemented using the 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and/or 92-95 GHz frequency bands.
