A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11923964B2) discloses a troposcatter communication terminal designed for efficient communication. The terminal includes an antenna with multiple communication ports extending from the rear to the front side, a positioner for mechanical control of antenna positioning, and an electronics package with a troposcatter radio for transmitting and receiving communication signals through the antenna ports. The troposcatter radio features various components such as an RF front-end, MIMO transceiver, and modem for signal processing, compression, encryption, error correction, mapping, and framing, all integrated without interposing cables.

Furthermore, the patent describes a method for troposcatter communication involving digital and analog processing of transmit and receiver signals through the terminal's components. The system also includes a collapsible tripod for portability, with the antenna made of carbon fiber material. The troposcatter radio operates with low power consumption, less than approximately 150 Watts, and is designed for ease of use and efficiency in communication. Additionally, a troposcatter communication system is detailed, comprising two terminals with antennas and troposcatter radios for bidirectional communication, emphasizing the compact design, portability, and integrated signal processing capabilities of the terminals.
