1. A system for detecting whether an antenna has been disconnected from a coverage extension system comprising:
an antenna receiving signals from a base station and noise from the environment;
a coupler;
a transceiver;
a power sensor to measure the power intensity of the noise;
a controller; and
a wired connector, electrically connecting the output of the antenna to said coupler, for carrying said signals and noise from said antenna to said coupler;
wherein the coupler outputs part of the signals and noise to said power sensor and another part of the signals and noise to the transceiver; and
wherein the controller detects changes in the power intensity of the noise to detect whether the antenna has been disconnected.
