station access point 192 modulated reflections are received by antenna 210 in receiver 198 then amplified 212 and output to a self mixer 214 to output a base band data output 216 by way of example and not limitation a prototype link was implemented comprising two antenna sections connected together e g over moded dipole antennas using the modulator connected in a first state and disconnected in a second state the two sections need not utilize the same type of antenna it should also be appreciated that any desired type of modulator and any desired type of antenna structure horn patch dipole monopole loop and even using antenna arrays may be utilized in this and other embodiments of the present disclosure additionally more than two antenna segments can be implemented with any possible number of array sections and any possible number of modulators connecting and disconnecting them it is important however that the reflection co efficient of the overall microwave reflector is changed modulated by the modulator action it should be noted that the modulator in this embodiment and all embodiments described herein is not limited to binary states two states as multiple analog states e g for qam or pam operation can be utilized without departing from the present disclosure it will also be appreciated that at least one embodiment utilizes frequency modulating.
