Abstract
A millimeter-wave repeater may be provided to cover a radio shaded area, in a system for the millimeter-wave repeater. The millimeter-wave repeater may provide a service by changing a signal of a millimeter-wave band to an intermediate frequency band, and then changing the signal to the millimeter-wave band again.
Claims8
A millimeter-wave repeater comprising:
- a donor input/output unit configured to:
- separate a downlink signal and an uplink signal of a millimeter-wave radio signal,
- perform low-noise amplification on an input downlink signal,
- transmit the amplified downlink signal to a donor channel filter unit, and
- output the uplink signal input from the donor channel filter unit in an assigned level;
- the donor channel filter unit configured to:
- filter the amplified downlink signal via a band pass filter,
- convert the filtered amplified downlink signal into an intermediate frequency signal by using a frequency mixer,
- filter the intermediate frequency signal via a low-band pass filter,
- perform channel filtering on the filtered intermediate frequency signal through a plurality of band pass filters,
- transmit the channel-filtered intermediate frequency signal to a donor multiplex transmission unit, and
- convert the uplink signal from the donor multiplex transmission unit into a signal of a millimeter-wave band by using the frequency mixer and transmit the signal of the millimeter-wave band to the donor input/output unit, the donor channel filter unit including a reference signal unit for generating and transmitting a reference frequency signal;
- the donor multiplex transmission unit including a multiplexer for coupling the channel-filtered intermediate frequency signal and the reference frequency signal and a communication signal, and configured to transmit the uplink signal to the donor channel filter unit;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a signal;
- a server multiplex transmission unit including a downlink multi-distribution unit configured to separate, from the downlink signal input to the transmission unit, a modem signal for communication and the reference frequency signal for synchronization with a phase synchronization circuit, and an uplink transmission unit configured to transmit the uplink signal via a server channel filter unit to the transmission unit;
- the server channel filter unit configured to convert an intermediate frequency downlink signal input to the server multiplex transmission unit into a signal in a millimeter-wave band by using the frequency mixer and transmit the signal in the millimeter-wave band to a server input/output unit, perform frequency mixing on an uplink frequency of the server input/output unit and convert a mixed signal into an intermediate frequency, and perform channel filtering on a converted signal and transmit a filtered signal to the server multiplex transmission unit;
- and
- the server input/output unit configured to:
- output the downlink signal output from the server channel filter unit in an assigned level, and
- perform low-noise amplification on the uplink signal, and
- transmit the amplified signal to the server channel filter unit.
