Abstract
Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can include a first-direction signal path configured to amplify and filter a signal in a first-direction band using a first bandpass filter. The repeater can include a second-direction signal path configured to amplify and filter a signal in a second-direction band using a second bandpass filter. The second-direction band can be spectrally adjacent to the first-direction band. The first bandpass filter and the second bandpass filter can provide filtering to isolate the first-direction band from the spectrally adjacent second-direction band.
Claims32
A repeater, comprising:
- a first common-direction multiplexer;
- a second common-direction multiplexer;
- a first-direction signal path coupled between the first common-direction multiplexer and the second common-direction multiplexer, the first-direction signal path configured to amplify and filter a signal in a first-direction frequency range;
- a third common-direction multiplexer;
- a fourth common-direction multiplexer;
- and
- a second-direction signal path coupled between the third common-direction multiplexer and the fourth common-direction multiplexer, the second-direction signal path configured to amplify and filter a signal in a second-direction frequency range that is spectrally adjacent to the first-direction frequency range.
A wideband cellular and public safety repeater, comprising:
- a first multiplexer;
- a second multiplexer;
- a first-direction cellular amplification and filtering path coupled between the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer, including one or more of a low noise amplifier (LNA), a filter or a power amplifier (PA), wherein the first-direction cellular amplification and filtering path is configured to amplify and filter a signal in a first-direction cellular band;
- a third multiplexer;
- a fourth multiplexer;
- a second-direction public safety amplification and filtering path coupled between the third multiplexer and the fourth multiplexer, including one or more of an LNA, a filter or a PA, wherein the second-direction public safety amplification and filtering path is configured to amplify and filter a signal in a second-direction public safety band that is spectrally adjacent to the first-direction cellular band.
A repeater, comprising:
- a first multiplexer;
- a second multiplexer;
- a first-direction signal path coupled between the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer, the first-direction signal path configured to amplify and filter a signal in a first-direction band using a first filter;
- and
- a second-direction signal path coupled between the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer, the second-direction signal path configured to amplify and filter a signal in a second-direction band using a second filter, and the second-direction band is spectrally adjacent to the first-direction band,
- wherein the first filter and the second filter provide filtering to isolate the first-direction band from the spectrally adjacent second-direction band.
A wideband cellular and public safety repeater, comprising:
- a first-direction cellular amplification and filtering path configured to amplify and filter a signal in a first-direction cellular band using a first filter;
- a second-direction public safety amplification and filtering path configured to amplify and filter a signal in a second-direction public safety band using a second filter, wherein the second-direction public safety band is spectrally adjacent to the first-direction cellular band,
- wherein the first filter and the second filter provide filtering to isolate the first-direction band from the spectrally adjacent second-direction band;
- and
- a controller operable to select a first automatic gain control (AGC) level for the first-direction cellular band and a second AGC level for the second-direction public safety band that is separate from the first AGC level.
