Abstract
A wireless communications system comprises a first splitter separating at least two signals, a wireless circuit for processing a first signal as a wireless signal and a combiner connected to the wireless circuit and the splitter, combining the two signals and transmitting the signals into a service area. The wireless communications system further comprises a second splitter separating the wireless signal from a second signal, and a transmitter for broadcasting the wireless signal.
Claims15
A wireless communications system comprising:
- a first splitter (105) separating a first signal from a second signal;
- a wireless circuit (107 & 109) coupled to the first splitter (105) for processing the first signal as a wireless signal;
- a combiner (111) coupled to the wireless circuit (107 & 109) and the splitter (105), combining the wireless signal and the second signal into a combined signal and transmitting the combined signal into a service area;
- a second splitter (115) coupled to the combiner (111) separating the wireless signal from the second signal;
- and
- a transmitter (112) coupled to the second splitter (115) for broadcasting the wireless signal.
