1. A transceiver, comprising:
an enclosure;
a first input, a second input, a first output, and a second output;
a radio frequency (RF) pass-through path within the enclosure and between the first input and the first output, the RF pass-through path including a gain module; and
a transceiver path within the enclosure and between the second input and the second output, the transceiver path including a signal processor;
wherein the transceiver path is configured to receive a third RF signal at the second input and to transmit a fourth RF signal at the second output, wherein the third RF signal has an RF input frequency between approximately 20 GHz and approximately 40 GHz at the second input, wherein the fourth RF signal has an RF output frequency between approximately 20 GHz and approximately 40 GHz at the second output, and wherein the signal processor is configured to process the third RF signal and the fourth RF signal at an intermediate frequency that is less than the RF input frequency and the RF output frequency.
