A wireless cellular communication system in which groups of cellular base
stations communicate with a central office via a narrow-band millimeter
wave trunk line. The transceivers are equipped with antennas providing
beam divergence small enough to ensure efficient spatial and directional
partitioning of the data channels so that an almost unlimited number of
transceivers will be able to simultaneously use the same millimeter wave
spectrum. In a preferred embodiment the trunk line communication link
operates within the 92 to 95 GHz portion of the millimeter spectrum. A
large number of base stations are each allocated a few MHz portion of a
900 MHz bandwidth of the millimeter wave trunk line. A first transceiver
transmits at a first bandwidth and receives at a second bandwidth both
within the above spectral range. A second transceiver transmits at the
second bandwidth and receives at the first bandwidth. Antennas are
described to maintain beam directional stability to less than one-half
the half-power beam width. In a preferred embodiment the first and second
spectral ranges are 92.3 93.2 GHz and 94.1 95.0 GHz and the half power
beam width is about 0.36 degrees or less. Thus, in this system the low
frequency band width is efficiently utilized over and over again by
dividing a territory into small cells and using low power antenna. And a
higher frequency bandwidth is efficiently utilized over and over again by
using transmitting antennae that are designed to produce very narrow
beams directed at receiving antennae. In a preferred embodiment cellular
base stations are prepackaged for easy quick installation at convenient
locations such as the tops of commercial buildings.
