Abstract:
1. A radio-frequency (RE) repeater, comprising: a first signal path, which is adapted to receive and amplify forward-signals that are transmitted from a base station using a main repeater section so as to generate amplified-forward-signals and to radiate the amplified-forward-signals by a first auxiliary repeater section in a first geographic region and by a second auxiliary repeater section in a second geographic region, via main auxiliary antennas at each of the auxiliary repeater sections and to receive and amplify reverse-main-signals from each of the auxiliary repeater sections so as to generate amplified-reverse-main-signals and to transmit the amplified-reverse-main-signals to the base station via the main repeater section; and a second signal path, which is adapted to receive and amplify reverse-diversity-signals from diversity antennas at each of the auxiliary repeater sections that are in different geographic regions so as to generate amplified-reverse-diversity-signals and to transmit the amplified-reverse-diversity-signals via a main repeater section diversity antenna to the base station.
