Abstract
A technology is described for a repeater. A repeater can comprise: a server port; a donor port; a first uplink (UL) amplification and filtering path coupled between the server port and the donor port, wherein the UL amplification and filtering path is configured to pass a UL signal of a first band and a UL signal of a second band through a first bandpass filter; a first downlink (DL) amplification and filtering path coupled between the server port and the donor port, wherein the first DL amplification and filtering path is configured to pass a DL signal of the first band and a DL signal of a third band through a second bandpass filter.
