Integrated repeater system and method to operate integrated repeater system

An integrated repeater system, comprising:

• a repeater device having a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface,
• wherein the repeater device comprises one or more phased array antenna receivers and one or more phased array antenna transmitters,
• wherein the one or more phased array antenna receivers are arranged on the first surface and are configured to receive a mmWave radio frequency signal from a base station,
• wherein the one or more phased array antenna transmitters are arranged on the second surface or the first surface, and are configured to transmit the received mmWave radio frequency signal through a glass structure to a user equipment, and
• an impedance matching component between the second surface and the glass structure, and
• wherein an impedance of the one or more phased array antenna transmitters is tuned in accordance with the glass structure based on the impedance matching component;
• and
• a lens arranged at the glass structure,
• wherein the transmitted mmWave radio frequency signal after propagation through the glass structure passes through the lens.

A method to operate an integrated repeater system, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a repeater device, a mmWave radio frequency signal from a base station;
• transmitting, by the repeater device, the received mmWave radio frequency signal through a glass structure to a user equipment, and wherein the transmitted mmWave radio frequency signal after propagation through the glass structure further passes through a lens;
• and
• tune, by the repeater device, an impedance of one or more phased array antenna transmitters in accordance with the glass structure based on an impedance matching component of the repeater device,
• wherein the lens is arranged at the glass structure to increase a scanning range of the repeater device.
