Abstract:
1. A repeater module for wireless communication, comprising: a housing; a first outdoor-facing patch antenna coupled to a first forward-path dual-band directional coupler; a second outdoor-facing patch antenna coupled to the first forward-path dual-band directional coupler; a first indoor-facing patch antenna coupled to a first reverse-path dual-band directional coupler; and a second indoor-facing patch antenna coupled to the first reverse-path dual-band directional coupler; wherein an output terminal of the first forward-path dual-band directional coupler is coupled to the first and second indoor-facing patch antennas; and an output terminal of the first reverse-path dual-band directional coupler is coupled to the first and second outdoor-facing patch antennas; wherein the first outdoor-facing patch antenna and the second outdoor-facing patch antenna are disposed on a first surface of a first printed circuit board: the first forward-path dual-band directional coupler and the first reverse-path dual-band directional coupler are disposed on a second printed circuit board: the first indoor-facing patch antenna and the second indoor-facing patch antenna are disposed on a first surface of a third printed circuit board and the first, second and third printed circuit boards are disposed within the housing such that the first surface of each of the first and third printed circuit boards are facing away from the second printed circuit board.
