Abstract:
A remote antenna signal processor, comprising:a signal processor for processing a telecommunications transmission signal and a first control signal for transmission over a network to a remote antenna driver, wherein the first control signal is for use by the remote antenna driver to control a gain factor of the remote antenna driver; a first sample circuit for measuring a power level of the telecommunications transmission signal prior to processing by the signal processor; a demodulator for separating a second control signal from a signal received over the network from the remote antenna driver, wherein the second control signal is indicative a power level of the telecommunications transmission signal at a transmit antenna of the remote antenna driver; a microprocessor for generating the first control signal based on an output signal from the first sample circuit and an output signal from the demodulator; and a second sample circuit for measuring a power level of the first control signal prior to processing by the signal processor, and wherein the microprocessor is for additionally generating the first control signal based on an output signal from the second sample circuit.
