I don't get it either. It seems like the receiver should be saturating if it's really receiving concurrently with the transmitter.
However the problem I have with this is that if your signal propagates 100m then is reflected back another 100m, how does the RX then discriminate between that signal and the signal from another TX on the basis that the signal is so far out of phase (670ns P-P approx assuming vacuum) having travelled such a distance and back.
You need buffers, software and all sorts of magic there as the RF carrier has gone a few cycles then.
