1. A device, comprising:
a phased array antenna panel comprising reconfigurable receive transmit antennas and a master chip, wherein
said master chip is configured to:
set a first plurality of reconfigurable receive transmit antennas of said reconfigurable receive transmit antennas as receive antennas of only a first polarization for a first period of time, wherein said first plurality of reconfigurable receive transmit antennas is configured to receive first circularly-polarized signals of only said first polarization for said first period of time; and
set a second plurality of reconfigurable receive transmit antennas of said reconfigurable receive transmit antennas as transmit antennas of only a second polarization for a second period of time,
said second plurality of reconfigurable receive transmit antennas is configured to transmit second circularly-polarized signals of only said second polarization for said second period of time,
said second polarization for said transmission is orthogonal to said first polarization of said reception for isolation of said first circularly-polarized signals from said second circularly-polarized signals,
said first plurality of reconfigurable receive transmit antennas is further configured to form a receive beam at a receive frequency based on receive phase information and receive amplitude information provided by said master chip,
said second plurality of reconfigurable receive transmit antennas is further configured to form a transmit beam at a transmit frequency based on transmit phase information and transmit amplitude information provided by said master chip,
said first circularly-polarized signals are first-handed circularly-polarized signals, and
said second circularly-polarized signals are second-handed circularly-polarized signals; and
a receive circuit that includes a low noise amplifier, wherein said low noise amplifier is configured to:
receive amplitude control information; and
cause, based on the received amplitude control information, an amplitude change in said first circularly-polarized signals of only said first polarization.
