Claim 24:
25. A method for amplifying signals with a trunked amplifier network, comprising:
receiving a signal at a first coupler network in a repeater, wherein the first coupler network is communicatively coupled to two or more signal paths in the repeater, and the two or more signal paths correspond to two or more bands;
distributing, using the first coupler network, the signal to two or more amplifier networks in the repeater network, wherein the two or more amplifier networks are between the first coupler network and a second coupler network in the repeater; and
combining, using the second coupler network, amplified output sub-signals from the two or more amplifier networks to produce an amplified output signal;
wherein a number of the two or more signal paths is equal to M and a number of the two or more amplifier networks is equal to N, wherein M is less than or equal to N, and M and N are positive integers that are greater than or equal to two.
