     BACKGROUND 
     Wireless communication systems, such as cellular telephone systems, have become common throughout the world. A wireless repeater or booster is a radio frequency (RF) device used to amplify wireless communication signals in both uplink and downlink communication channels, as illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The uplink channel is generally referred to as the direction from one or more user equipment  110  to a base station  120 . The downlink channel is generally referred to as the direction from the base station  120  to the user equipment  110 . For a wireless telephone system, the base station  120  may be a cell tower, and the user equipment  110  may be a smart phone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, multimedia device such as a television or gaming system, cellular internet of things (CIoT) device, or other types of computing device. The repeater  130  typically includes one or more signal amplifiers, one or more duplexers and/or couplers, one or more filters and other circuits coupled between two or more antennas. The antennas can include one or more user-side antennas  140  and one or more service-side antennas  150 . 
     The repeater system may include a plurality of separate elements such as the antennas, cables, repeater unit and mounting elements for each, which can make installation complicated for users. In addition, constraints imposed by government agencies, industry standards, or similar regulatory entities may limit the amount of amplification (gain), the maximum output power, the output noise, and other parameters associated with the operation of the repeater. Therefore, there is a continuing need for improved wireless repeaters.

     Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments illustrated, and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the technology is thereby intended. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Before the present technology is disclosed and described, it is to be understood that this technology is not limited to the particular structures, process actions, or materials disclosed herein, but is extended to equivalents thereof as would be recognized by those ordinarily skilled in the relevant arts. It should also be understood that terminology employed herein is used for the purpose of describing particular examples only and is not intended to be limiting. The same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same element. Numbers provided in flow charts and processes are provided for clarity in illustrating actions and operations and do not necessarily indicate a particular order or sequence. 
     An initial overview of technology embodiments is provided below and then specific technology embodiments are described in further detail later. This initial summary is intended to aid readers in understanding the technology more quickly but is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the technology nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. 
     In one aspect, a repeater system can include a pole with one or more donor antennas, one or more server antennas and a repeater integrated into the pole. The one or more donor antennas can be located toward the top of the pole, and the one or more server antennas can be located toward the bottom of the pole. In one example embodiment, the one or more donor antennas can be advantageously located at the top of the pole to increase a reception of uplink and downlink wireless communication signals between the repeater and one or more base stations. The one or more donor antennas located toward the top of the pole and the one or more server antennas located toward the bottom of the pole, or vice versa, can also reduce oscillations in the repeater resulting from signals transmitted by the one or more donor antennas being received at the one or more server antennas and feedback to the repeater, or vice versa. Installation and setup can be simplified with the one or more donor antennas, the one or more server antennas and the repeater integrated into the pole. The pole with the one or more donor antennas, the one or more server antennas and the repeater integrated therein also enables the repeater system to be portable. Additional example embodiments of the repeater system will be described in the proceeding paragraphs. 
       FIG. 1 b    depicts an example of a cradle with a user equipment (UE) removed from the cradle  160  and  FIG. 1 c    depicts an example of a UE  110  carried by the cradle  160 . The cradle  160  can have an interface  162  capable of selectively carrying a UE  110 . The interface  162  can removably receive, hold and carry a UE  110 . The interface  162  can be sized and shaped to hold and grip the UE  110 . The cradle  160  can also have an RF signal coupler such as a server antenna, to wirelessly couple the one or more RF communication signals to the UE  110  when carried by the cradle  160 . The interface  162  can be capable of spacing the UE  110  with respect to the RF signal coupler or server antenna, and aligning, or positioning and orienting, the UE  110 , and its RF antennas, with the RF signal coupler or server antenna. In one aspect, a back of the interface  162  can abut to the UE  110  to space the UE  110  with respect to the RF signal coupler or the server antenna. In another aspect, fingers, sides or ends can align, or position and orient, the UE  110  with respect to the RF signal coupler or server antenna. The cradle  160  can be coupled to a repeater and/or a signal splitter by co-axial cables  164 . In one example, the maximum gain of the coupled repeater can be 23 dB. The maximum gains can be set to different levels, depending on government regulations or system requirements. In addition, in one aspect, the maximum range of the cradle  160  and/or the server antenna or the signal coupler can be 8 inches or 20 cm from a user for radiation safety reasons. The maximum gain of the repeater can automatically adjust based on whether the UE is placed in the cradle or not. 
       FIG. 1 d    depicts an example of a repeater system  184  or signal booster in accordance with an example. The repeater system  184  can boost or amplify one or more radio frequency (RF) communication signals between a donor antenna  170  and a server antenna  166 . The donor antenna  170  can be an exterior donor antenna disposed outside of a vehicle or structure. In one aspect, the server antenna  166  can be a signal coupler carried by and disposed in a cradle  160  associated with the repeater system  184 . The cradle  160  can hold a UE  110 . The cradle  160  can have an interface  162 . 
     The repeater system  184  can comprise a repeater  180 , the cradle  160  with the server antenna  166 , and the donor antenna  170 . The repeater  180  can comprise a bi-directional amplifier (BDA)  176  to amplify the one or more RF communication signals. The repeater  180  can have a housing  182 . The donor antenna  170  can be coupled to the repeater  180  via a coaxial cable  172  to a donor port  174 . The server port  188  can be coupled to the repeater  180  via a coaxial cable  168 . 
       FIGS. 2 a  and 2 b    depict a repeater system, in accordance with an example. The repeater system can include a pole  210 , one or more donor antennas  220 , one or more server antennas  230 , and a repeater  240 . In the mechanical illustration of  FIG. 2 a   , the repeater system can include a pole  210 , a donor antenna  220 , a server antenna  230 , and a repeater  240 . In one aspect, the donor antenna  220  can be configured to transmit and receive uplink and downlink signals between the repeater  240  and one or more base stations. The server antenna  230  can be configured to transmit and receive uplink and downlink signals between the repeater  240  and one or more user devices. The spacing between the donor antennas  220  and the server antennas  230  can vary. Although, the repeater system is described with reference to one pole  210 , one donor antenna  220 , one server antenna  230 , and a repeater  240 , it is to be appreciated that multiple repeater systems can be implemented in parallel to provide for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) repeater systems. 
     In one example, a MIMO system can include a single repeater  240  and two or more donor antennas  220  and two or more server antennas  230 . The two or more antennas may be located in a single pole  210  or may be positioned in multiple adjacent poles, with the antennas in each adjacent pole communicatively coupled to a server  240 . The server may be carried by one pole in the server system, or may be positioned outside of each of the poles. Alternatively, a MIMO system can be formed using multiple repeater systems, with each repeater system comprising a pole  210  that includes a donor antenna  220 , a repeater  240 , and a server antenna  230 . 
     In one aspect, the repeater  240  can be communicatively coupled between the donor antenna  220  and the server antenna  230 . In one instance, the repeater  240  can be communicatively coupled by respective cables  250 ,  260  between the repeater  240  and the donor antenna  220 , and between the repeater  240  and the server antenna  230 , respectively. The cables  250 ,  260  can be coaxial cables to reduce coupling between the donor antenna  220  and the server antenna  230 . 
     In one aspect, the repeater  240  can be configured to amplify one or more RF communication signals, as illustrated in the circuit illustration of  FIG. 2 b   . The repeater  240  can, for example, amplify various types of RF signals, such as cellular telephone, WiFi, or AM/FM radio signals. In one instance, an uplink amplifier  242  can be configured to amplify signals in one or more uplink bands, and a downlink amplifier  244  can be configured to amplify signals in one or more downlink bands. One or more duplexers and/or couplers  246 ,  248  can be configured to multiplex, demultiplex and/or couple the uplink and downlink signals between the uplink and downlink amplifiers  242 ,  244  and the donor antenna  220 , and between the uplink and downlink amplifiers  242 ,  244  and the server antenna  230 . In another instance, one or more bi-direction amplifiers can be configured to amplify both uplink and downlink signals of one or more carrier bands. In one instance, the RF communication signals can be cellular telephone RF signals, such as a Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolved (LTE) uplink and downlink signals when operating in a frequency division duplex (FDD) mode. In one instance, the uplink 3GPP LTE signals may operate in an uplink portion of a selected FDD frequency band and the downlink 3GPP LTE signal may operate in a downlink portion of the selected FDD frequency band. In one instance, the repeater can be configured to operate in one or more FDD bands or time division duplex (TDD) bands including any of 3GPP LTE frequency bands 1 through 85, 3GPP 5G frequency bands 1 through 86, 3GPP 5G frequency bands 257 through 261, or other frequency bands, as disclosed in 3GPP TS 36.104 V16.0.0 (January 2019) or 3GPP TS 38.104 v15.4.0 (January 2019). In addition, the signal booster  120  can boost time division duplexing (TDD) and/or frequency division duplexing (FDD) signals. 
     Referring again to  FIG. 2 a   , the pole  210  can be any long, relatively slender mechanical support structure. The pole  210  can have a form factor of a cylinder (right circular, elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic), rectangular prism, triangular prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, or the like. In one aspect, the pole  210  can be non-conductive. In another aspect, the pole  210  can include one or more metallic portions, such as one or more of caps, fasteners and/or adapters. For example, the pole  210  can include a metal cap coupled to an electrical ground for lightning protection. 
     In one aspect, the donor antenna  220 , server antenna  230  and repeater  240  are carried by the pole  210 . In one instance, the server antenna  230  and the repeater  240  can be fixably mounted to a first side of the pole  210  and the donor antenna  220  can be fixably mounted to a second side of the pole  210  that is opposite to the first side of the pole  210 . The donor antenna  220  mounted at the second side of the pole  210  can correspond to the top of the pole. Mounting the server antenna  230  and repeater  240  at the second side of the pole  210  can correspond to the bottom of the pole  210 . It is to be appreciated that with the server antenna  230  and repeater  240  mounted toward the bottom of the pole and the donor antenna  220  mounted towards the top of the pole  210 , in most cases there will be increased mass at the bottom of the pole  210  resulting in a lower center of gravity. The lower center of gravity can resist torque on the pole  210  from wind when the pole is positioned in a vertical direction. In another instance, the donor antenna  220  and the repeater  240  can be fixably mounted to a first side of the pole  210 , and the server antenna  230  can be fixably mounted to a second side of the pole  210  that is opposite to the first side of the pole  210 . Mounting the donor antenna  220  and the repeater  240  near each other at the first side of the pole  210  can advantageously reduce transmission losses. In one instance, the donor antenna  220 , the server antenna  230 , and the repeater  240  are encompassed by the pole  210 . The donor antenna  220 , the server antenna  230  and the repeater  240  can be encompassed by the pole  210 , by integrating the donor antenna  220 , the server antenna  230  and the repeater  240  with the pole  210 , or mounting the donor antenna  220 , the server antenna  230  and the repeater  240  inside the pole  210 . In one embodiment, the pole can be constructed to be substantially water resistant to provide environmental protections to the server antenna  230 , donor antenna  220 , and/or repeater  240 . 
     In one aspect, a radiation pattern of the donor antenna  220  can be configured to reduce radiation directed toward the server antenna  230  to minimize feedback from the server antenna  230 , through the repeater  240 , to the donor antenna  220 . A radiation pattern of the server antenna  230  can also be configured to reduce radiation directed toward the donor antenna  220  to minimize feedback from the donor antenna  220 , through the repeater  240 , to the server antenna  230 . In one instance, the donor antenna  220  and the server antenna  230  can be located at a fixed distance from each other to reduce feedback based on the radiation pattern of the donor antenna  220  and the serve antenna  230 . The repeater system can also include a radiation shield carried by the pole  210  and located between the donor antenna  220  and the server antenna  230  to reduce radiation communicated between the donor antenna  220  and the server antenna  230 . In one instance, the donor and/or server antenna  220 ,  230  can be directional antennas to reduce radiation communicated between the donor antenna  220  and the server antenna  230 . The direction of each antenna can be electrically or mechanically steerable to direct the radiation pattern of the donor and/or server antenna  220 ,  230 . For example, the donor antenna can be steerable, wherein the downlink signal strength from one or more base stations are measured and the radiation pattern for the uplink signal is steered in the direction of the strongest downlink signal. In another instance, the donor and/or server antenna  220 ,  230  can be omnidirectional antennas. 
     In one aspect, the repeater system can also include a mounting apparatus  270  for securing the pole  210  to a vehicle or structure. The mounting apparatus  270  can be a ratchet mount, a ram mount, a tripod, a stand, or the like. The mounting apparatus  270  can be fixed or movable. In one instance, the mounting apparatus  270 , such as a ratchet mount, enables the pole  210  to be rotated to a vertical direction for use with the donor antenna  220  located near a top of the pole  210 , and rotated to a horizontal direction for stowage. In one instance, the mounting apparatus  270  allows the pole  210  to be rotatably and/or removably mounted to a marine vessel. In another instance, the mounting apparatus  270  allows the pole  210  to be rotatably and/or removably mounted to a vehicle, such as an emergency response vehicle. The spacing between the mounting apparatus  270  and one or more of the repeater  240 , the donor antenna  220  and/or the server antenna  230  can vary based on system requirements. 
       FIGS. 3 a  and 3 b    depict a repeater system, in accordance with another example. In the mechanical illustration of  FIG. 3 a   , the repeater system can include a pole  310 , an uplink donor antenna  320 , a downlink donor antenna  330 , a server antenna  340 , and a repeater  350 . In one aspect, the uplink donor antenna  320  can be configured to transmit uplink signals from the repeater  350  to one or more base stations. The downlink donor antenna  330  can be configured to receive downlink signals from one or more base stations. The server antenna  340  can be configured to transmit and receive uplink and downlink signals between the repeater  350  and one or more user devices. 
     In one aspect, the repeater  350  can be electrically coupled between the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330  and the server antenna  340 . In one instance, the repeater  350  can be electrically coupled by respective cables  360 ,  370 ,  380  between the repeater  350  and the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330 , and between the repeater  350  and the server antenna  340 . The cables  360 ,  370 ,  380  can be coaxial cables to reduce coupling between the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330 , and the server antenna  340 . 
     In one aspect, the repeater  350  can be configured to amplify one or more RF communication signals, as illustrated in the circuit illustration of  FIG. 3 b   . The repeater  350  can, for example, amplify various types of RF signals, such as cellular telephone, WiFi, or AM/FM radio signals. In one instance, an uplink amplifier  352  can be configured to amplify signals in one or more uplink bands, and a downlink amplifier  354  can be configured to amplify signals in one or more downlink bands. One or more duplexers and/or couplers  356  can be configured to multiplex, demultiplex and or couple the uplink and downlink signals between the uplink and downlink amplifiers  352 ,  354  and the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330  respectively, and between the uplink and downlink amplifiers  352 ,  354  and the server antenna  340 . However, with the use of uplink and downlink antennas  320 ,  330 , the duplexer or coupler between the uplink and downlink amplifiers  352 ,  354  and the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330  can be eliminated. Eliminating the duplexer or coupler between the amplifiers  352 ,  354  and the uplink and downlink antennas  320 ,  330  can reduce the insertion loss by 2-3 decibels (dBs), thereby increasing output power by 2-3 dB and decreasing the noise factor by 2-3 db. 
     Referring again to  FIG. 3 a   , the pole  310  can be any long, relatively slender mechanical support structure. The pole  310  can have a form factor of a cylinder (right circular, elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic), rectangular prism, triangular prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, or the like. In one aspect, the pole  310  can be non-conductive. In another aspect, the pole  310  can include one or more metallic portions, such as one or more of caps, fasteners and/or adapters. For example, the pole  310  can include a metal cap coupled to an electrical ground for lightning protection. 
     In one aspect, the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330 , server antenna  340  and repeater  350  are carried by the pole  310 . In one instance, the server antenna  340  and the repeater  350  can be fixably mounted to a first side of the pole  310  and the uplink and downlink donor antenna  320 ,  330  can be fixably mounted to a second side of the pole  310  that is opposite to the first side of the pole  310 . The uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330  mounted at the second side of the pole  310  can correspond to the top of the pole  310 . Mounting the server antenna  340  and repeater  350  at the second side of the pole  310  can correspond to the bottom of the pole. It is to be appreciated that with the server antenna  340  and repeater  350  mounted toward the bottom of the pole  310  and the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330  mounted toward the top of the pole  320 , in most cases there will be increased mass at the bottom of the pole  210  resulting in a lower center of gravity. The lower center of gravity can resist torque on the pole  310  from wind. In another instance, the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330  and the repeater  340  can be fixably mounted to a first side of the pole  310 , and the server antenna  340  can be fixably mounted to a second side of the pole  310  that is opposite to the first side of the pole  310 . Mounting the uplink and downlink donor antenna  320 ,  330 , and the repeater  340  near each other at the first side of the pole  310  can advantageously reduce transmission losses. In one instance, the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330 , the server antenna  340 , and the repeater  350 , are encompassed by the pole  310 . The uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330 , the server antenna  340  and the repeater  350  can be encompassed by the pole  310 , by integrating the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330 , the server antenna  340  and the repeater  350  with the pole  310 , or mounting the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330 , the server antenna  340 , and the repeater  350  inside the pole. 
     In one aspect, a radiation pattern of the uplink donor antenna  320  can be configured to reduce radiation directed toward the server antenna  340  to minimize feedback from the server antenna  340 , through the repeater  350 , to the uplink donor antenna  320 . A radiation pattern of the server antenna  340  can also be configured to reduce radiation directed toward the downlink donor antenna  330  to minimize feedback from the downlink donor antenna  330 , through the repeater  350 , to the server antenna  230 . In one instance, the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330  and the server antenna  340  can be located at fixed distances from each other to reduce feedback based on their radiation patterns. The repeater system can also include a radiation shield carried by the pole  310  and located between the uplink and downlink donor antennas  320 ,  330  and the server antenna  340 . In one instance, one or more of the uplink donor antenna  320 , the downlink donor antenna  330  and/or server antenna  340  can be directional antennas. The directional antenna can be electrically or mechanically steerable to direct the radiation pattern of the uplink donor antenna  320 , downlink donor antenna  330  and/or server antenna  340 .

       FIG. 4 a    depicts a repeater system, in accordance with another example. The repeater system can include a pole  410 , a donor antenna  420 , a server antenna  430 , and a repeater  440 . In one aspect, the donor antenna  420  can be configured to transmit and receive uplink and downlink signals between the repeater  440  and one or more base stations. The server antenna  430  can be configured to transmit and receive uplink and downlink signals between the repeater  440  and one or more user devices. 
     In one aspect, the repeater  440  can be electrically coupled between the donor antenna  420  and the server antenna  430 . In one instance, the repeater  440  can be electrically coupled to the donor antenna  420  by a cable  450 .

The server antenna  430  and repeater  440  can be removed from the first side of the pole  410  and mounted on a structure  460  in a desired location adjacent to the pole  410 . For example, the server antenna  430  and repeater  440  can be removed from the pole  410  and mounted in a crew compartment of a marine vessel. In another example, the server antenna  430  and repeater  440  can be removed from the pole  410  and mounted in an emergency response command center or on an emergency response vehicle. In one instance, the donor antenna  420  is encompassed by the pole  410 . The donor antenna  420  can be encompassed by the pole  410 , by integrating the donor antenna  420  with the pole  410 , or mounting the donor antenna  420  inside the pole  410 . 
     In one aspect, a radiation pattern of the donor antenna  420  can be configured to reduce radiation directed toward the server antenna  430  to minimize feedback from the server antenna  430 , through the repeater  440 , to the donor antenna  420 . A radiation pattern of the server antenna  430  can also be configured to reduce radiation directed toward the donor antenna  420  to minimize feedback from the donor antenna  420 , through the repeater  440 , to the server antenna  430 . The repeater system can also include a radiation shield carried by the pole  410  and located between the donor antenna  420  and the server antenna  430 . In one instance, the donor and/or server antenna  420 ,  430  can be directional antennas. The direction antenna can be electrically or mechanically steerable to direct the radiation pattern of the donor and/or server antenna  420 ,  430 . For example, the donor antenna  420  can be steerable, wherein the downlink signal strength from one or more base stations are measured and the radiation pattern for the uplink signal is steered in the direction of the strongest downlink signal. In another instance, the donor and/or server antenna  420 ,  430  can be omnidirectional antennas. 
     In one aspect, the repeater system can also include a mounting apparatus  460  for securing the pole  410  to a vehicle  470  or structure. The mounting apparatus  460  can be a ratchet mount, a ram mount, a tripod, a stand, or the like. The mounting apparatus  460  can be fixed or movable. In one instance, the mounting apparatus  460 , such as a ratchet mount, enables the pole  410  to be rotated to a vertical direction for use with the donor antenna  420  located near a top of the pole  410 , and rotated to a horizontal direction for stowage.

       FIG. 4 b    depicts a repeater system, in accordance with another example. The repeater system can include a pole  410 , a donor antenna  420 , a cradle  435 , and a repeater  440 . In one aspect, the repeater system can also include a mounting apparatus  460  for securing the pole  410  to a vehicle  470  or structure. In one aspect, the donor antenna  420  can be configured to transmit and receive uplink and downlink signals between the repeater  440  and one or more base stations. The cradle  435  can be carried about the pole  410 , i.e. coupled to the pole  410 , coupled adjacent to the pole  410 , or within a fixed radius of up to 20 feet from the pole  410 . The cradle  435  can have an interface capable of selectively carrying a UE and a server antenna. The server antenna can be configured to wirelessly couple one or more radio frequency (RF) communication signals to a UE carried by the interface of the cradle  435 . The cradle  435  can be coupled to the repeater  440  via a coaxial cable with a length of between 0.5 feet and 40 feet. The repeater  440  can be coupled to the donor antenna  420  via a coaxial cable  450 . The repeater can be integrated with the cradle. Alternatively, the repeater can be separate from the cradle and connected to the server antenna in the cradle via a wired or wireless connection. The maximum gain of the repeater can automatically adjust based on whether the UE is placed in the cradle or not. 
     In one aspect, the maximum gain of repeater can be 23 decibels (dB) when the cradle is carrying a UE. Alternatively, a greater or lesser gain may be used based on government standards and regulations for the country in which the repeaters is configured to operate. In addition, in one aspect, the minimum distance of the cradle  435  and/or the server antenna from a user can be 8 inches or 20 centimeters (cm). In another aspect, the maximum gain of the cradle  435  and/or the server antenna and/or the repeater can be 50 dB when the cradle  435  is not carrying the UE and the UE is within a radius of up to 20 feet of the server antenna. The maximum gain of the repeater can automatically adjust based on whether the UE is placed in the cradle or not. Thus the repeater system can provide a signal boost to the UE and signal coverage to a larger area, such as the area covered by a recreational vehicle (RV). In another aspect, the maximum gain of the server antenna and/or the repeater can be between 65-72 dB when the cradle  435  is not carrying the UE and the server antenna is at a fixed location. Use of the cradle  435  coupled to the server antenna at a lower gain, i.e. 23 dB or 50 dB, can limit antenna-to-antenna feedback, such as feedback between the server antenna and the donor antenna, that can occur at higher gain levels, i.e. 65-72 dB.

The server antenna  530  can be configured to transmit and receive uplink and downlink signals between the repeater  540  and one or more user devices. 
     In one aspect, the repeater  540  can be electrically coupled between the donor antenna  520  and the server antenna  530 . In one instance, the repeater  540  can be electrically coupled by respective cables  550 ,  560  between the repeater  540  and the donor antenna  520 , and between the repeater  540  and the server antenna  530 . The cables  550 ,  560  can be coaxial cables to reduce coupling between the donor antenna  520  and the server antenna  530 .

In one aspect, the pole  510  can be non-conductive. In another aspect, the pole  10  can include one or more metallic portions, such as one or more of caps, fasteners and/or adapters.

Mounting the repeater  540  at the second side of the pole  510  can correspond to the bottom of the pole  510 . It is to be appreciated that with the repeater  540  mounted toward the bottom of the pole and the donor antenna  520  mounted toward the top of the pole  510 , in most cases there will be increased mass at the bottom of the pole  510  resulting in a lower center of gravity. The lower center of gravity can resist torque on the pole  510  from wind. The server antenna  530  can optionally be removably couplable to the first side of the pole  510 . The server antenna  530  can, therefore, be removed from the first side of the pole  510  and mounted on a structure  570  in a desired location adjacent the pole  510 . For example, the server antenna  530  can be removed from the pole  510  and mounted in a crew compartment of a marine vessel. In another example, the server antenna  530  can be removed from the pole  510  and mounted in an emergency response command center or on an emergency response vehicle.

     While various embodiments described herein, and illustrated in  FIGS. 1-9 , have been described with respect to a repeater with a donor antenna and a server antenna, this is not intended to be limiting. A repeater can also be accomplished using a handheld booster, as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . The handheld booster can include an integrated server antenna and one or more integrated donor antennas. 
       FIG. 11  provides an example illustration of the wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile wireless device, a mobile communication device, a tablet, a handset, or other type of wireless device. The wireless device can include one or more antennas configured to communicate with a node, macro node, low power node (LPN), or, transmission station, such as a base station (BS), an evolved Node B (eNB), a baseband processing unit (BBU), a remote radio head (RRH), a remote radio equipment (RRE), a relay station (RS), a radio equipment (RE), or other type of wireless wide area network (WWAN) access point. The wireless device can be configured to communicate using at least one wireless communication standard such as, but not limited to, 3GPP LTE, WiMAX, High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Bluetooth, and WiFi. The wireless device can communicate using separate antennas for each wireless communication standard or shared antennas for multiple wireless communication standards. The wireless device can communicate in a wireless local area network (WLAN), a wireless personal area network (WPAN), and/or a WWAN. The wireless device can also comprise a wireless modem. The wireless modem can comprise, for example, a wireless radio transceiver and baseband circuitry (e.g., a baseband processor). The wireless modem can, in one example, modulate signals that the wireless device transmits via the one or more antennas and demodulate signals that the wireless device receives via the one or more antennas. 
       FIG. 11  also provides an illustration of a microphone and one or more speakers that can be used for audio input and output from the wireless device. The display screen can be a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, or other type of display screen such as an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. The display screen can be configured as a touch screen. The touch screen can use capacitive, resistive, or another type of touch screen technology. An application processor and a graphics processor can be coupled to internal memory to provide processing and display capabilities. A non-volatile memory port can also be used to provide data input/output options to a user. The non-volatile memory port can also be used to expand the memory capabilities of the wireless device. A keyboard can be integrated with the wireless device or wirelessly connected to the wireless device to provide additional user input. A virtual keyboard can also be provided using the touch screen. 
     In another example, as illustrated in  FIG. 12 a   , a repeater can comprise a separate uplink node port and a downlink node port. The uplink node port can be configured to be coupled to an uplink node port. Similarly, the downlink node port can be configured to be coupled to a downlink node antenna. The use of two separate node ports can eliminate or reduce loss that typically occurs in a diplexer, duplexer, and/or multiplexer that is used to couple an uplink path with a downlink path at a single node. In addition, a receive diversity antenna port can be coupled to a receive diversity amplification and filtering path to enable the repeater  1200  to be configured to be coupled to a receive diversity device antenna  1290  and a receive diversity node antenna  1270 . The receive diversity amplification and filtering path can allow a downlink signal to be amplified from the receive diversity node antenna to optimize reception of a downlink signal transmitted from a base station to a user device having a diversity antenna to allow the user device to use spatial diversity in receiving the downlink signal. 
     In another example, the use of a separate UL node antenna, DL node antenna, and RX diversity node antenna can optimize the output power over the band because the antenna load impedance can change less frequently due to a lower quality (Q) factor. In one example, impedance matching can be difficult with filters, especially over wide bandwidths, because of the high Q factor that varies over frequency more frequently. As such, the output of a power amplifier can be optimized when coupled to common output impedance (e.g., separate antennas) instead of a varying output impedance (e.g., filters). 
     In another example, coupling a filter to the output of the power amplifier can increase the chances of a filter breaking. In one example, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters or bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters can only have a maximum input power of about 28-32 decibel-milliwatts (dBm) before breaking. In one example, ceramic filters can only have a maximum input power of about 36 dBm before breaking. Removing the filter from the output of the power amplifier by using separate antennas can reduce the chances of filter breakage and allow the use of higher-power PAs. 
     In the example of  FIG. 12 a   , a bi-directional inside antenna port  1202  or bi-directional device antenna port  1202  can be configured to be coupled to an integrated device antenna  1210  or a bi-directional inside antenna  1210 . The integrated device antenna  1210  can receive an UL signal from a UE. The bi-directional inside antenna port  1202  can be configured to be coupled to a duplexer  1212 . The duplexer  1212  can split into an UL path and a DL path. While a duplexer is illustrated in  FIG. 12 a   , it is not intended to be limiting.

In another example, the LPF  1222  can be configured to be coupled between the power amplifier  1220  and an UL outside antenna port  1204  or UL node antenna port  1204  to filter harmonics emitted by the power amplifier  1220 .

The low order filter can include one or more high pass filter poles and one or more low pass filter poles. The low-order filter can be configured to have low loss since it is located after the power amplifier  1220 .

     In another example, after traveling on the first receive diversity DL path or the second receive diversity DL path, the receive diversity signal on the first receive diversity DL path and the DL signal on the second receive diversity DL path can be amplified and filtered in accordance with the type of amplifiers and BPFs included on the first receive diversity DL path and the second receive diversity DL path.

     In another example, as illustrated in  FIG. 12 c   , a repeater can comprise a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switch  1298 .

     In another example, the DPDT switch  1298  can be configured to: allow the UL node antenna port  1204  to be coupled to the input  1251  of the DL path, and allow the DL node antenna port  1206  to be coupled to the output  1223  of the UL path. The UL node antenna port  1204  and the DL node antenna port can be switched based on whether the repeater is UL-limited or DL-limited. A repeater can be UL-limited when there is an insufficient power from the repeater to the base station. A repeater can be DL-limited when there is insufficient power from the base station to the repeater. 
     In one example, switching from the UL node antenna port  1204  to the DL node antenna port  1206  can allow the uplink amplification and filtering path to use the DL node antenna port  1206  when the repeater is UL-limited.

     In one example, the UL node antenna port  1204 , the DL node antenna port, and the receive diversity node antenna port  1269  can be switched based on whether the repeater is UL-limited or DL-limited. A repeater can be UL-limited when there is a low level of power from the repeater to the base station. A repeater can be DL-limited when there is a low level of power from the base station to the repeater. As previously discussed, antenna port switching can increase the level of power from the repeater to the base station (when the repeater is UL-limited) and increase the level of power from the base station to the repeater (when the repeater is DL-limited) by using spatial diversity or polarization diversity. 
     In another example, as illustrated in  FIG. 12 e   ,  FIG. 12 g   , and  FIG. 12 h   , a repeater can comprise an integrated UL device antenna port  1202   a  or an integrated UL inside antenna port  1202   a .

     In another example, a repeater can comprise an integrated DL device antenna port  1202   b  or an integrated DL inside antenna port  1202   b .

     In another example, a repeater can comprise an integrated DL device antenna port  1202   b  or an integrated DL inside antenna port  1202   b . The integrated DL device antenna port  1202   b  can be configured to be coupled to an integrated DL device antenna  1210   b  or an integrated DL inside antenna  1210   b . The integrated DL device antenna port  1202   b  can be configured to be coupled to an output of a diplexer  1259 . 
     In one configuration, two or more BPFs can be stacked together or connected to form a multi-filter package (e.g., a SISO filter package). The multi-filter package can also be referred to as a dual-common port multi-bandpass filter. The dual-common port multi-bandpass filter can also include a dual-common port multi-low pass filter (LPF) or a dual-common port multi-high pass filter (HPF). Each of the BPFs within the multi-filter package can be configured to pass a selected frequency, such as an uplink band of a selected frequency band, or a downlink band of the selected frequency band. The multi-filter package can have a first common port and a second common port (e.g., on a left and right side of the multi-filter package, respectively). In an example in which the multi-filter package includes two BPFs that are stacked together in a single package, a first common port can have a first signal trace that connects the first common port to an input of a first BPF and an input of a second BPF. Similarly, a second signal trace can connect a second common port to an output of the first BPF and an output of the second BPF. In this example, the two BPFs can be positioned close to each other (e.g., less than 1 millimeter (mm) from each other for SAW/BAW filters or less than 10 mm for ceramic filters), and the two BPFs can be designed such that one of the BPFs can have a lower return loss in a selected frequency band (i.e. passband), while the other BPF can have a higher return loss (or poor return loss) on that same frequency band (i.e., stopband). 
     Thus, when an input signal enters the multi-filter package, the input signal can effectively “see” both of the BPFs. The signal can effectively travel towards a first BPF and a second BPF in the multi-filter package. However, the signal will take the path with the lower return loss or lower resistance between the available paths. In other words, when a passband signal enters the multi-filter package, the signal will effectively “see a wall” on one side of the multi-filter package (which corresponds to the path with higher return loss or higher resistance) and an open path on the other side of the multi-filter package (which corresponds to a path with a lower return loss or lower resistance). 
     While the term “input” and “output” are used with respect to a BPF, the terms are not intended to be limiting. A BPF may be configured to have a signal enter the input of the BPF and exit the output. Alternatively, a signal may enter the output of the BPF and exit the input. Thus, the terms “input” and “output” may be used interchangeably. 
     In one example, the BPFs in the multi-filter package can include SAW filters, BAW filters, ceramic filters, high pass filters (HPF), low pass filters (LPF), and/or discrete filters (e.g., composed of capacitors and inductors). 
     In one example, an input signal can have a signal associated with a selected frequency band. For example, a band 2 uplink (UL) signal can include a signal within the 3GPP LTE band 2 UL frequency range. A multi-filter package can include a band 2 UL bandpass filter, configured to pass signals within a frequency range of the band 2 UL range, and reject signals outside of this band. The multi-filter package can also include a band 4 UL bandpass filter, configured to pass signals within a frequency range of the 3GPP LTE band 4 UL frequency range, and reject signals outside of this band. 
     As an example, the multi-filter package can include a B  1  UL BPF and a B 2  UL BPF. If the signal that enters the multi-filter package is a B 1  UL signal, the signal can pass through the B 1  UL BPF in the multi-filter package due to the lower return loss that is designed in the B 1  UL BPF for the frequency range of the B 1  UL signal. Similarly, if the signal that enters the multi-filter package is a B 2  UL signal, the signal can pass through the B 2  UL BPF in the multi-filter package due to the lower return loss that is designed in the B 2  UL BPF for the frequency range of the B 2  UL signal. In addition, if the B 1  UL signal or the B 2  UL signal were to go to the B 2  UL BPF or the B 1  UL BPF, respectively, the UL signal would get reflected back and would then pass through the appropriate UL BPF. 
     In one example, the multi-filter package can include electrically short wires or signal traces that connect the first common port and the second common port to the first and second BPFs. In other words, the path from the first common port to the input of the first and second BPFs, and the path from the second common port to the output of the first and second BPFs can be electrically short. In one example, if the wires or signal traces were to become electrically long, the wires or signal traces can create phase and reflection problems. Thus, by keeping the wires or signal traces electrically short, these problems can be avoided and the signal can only travel on an incorrect path for a reduced period of time. 
     In one example, the electrically short wires or signal traces in the multi-filter package can be shorter than 1/10 th  or 1/20 th  or 1/100 th  of a wavelength of the signal the electrically short wires are carrying. In one example, a 1 GHz wavelength is 300 mm, and the electrically short wires or signal traces can be shorter than 3 mm. Since the wires or signal traces are considerably shorter than the wavelength, an incoming signal can effectively see multiple paths at the same time, and the incoming signal can travel on a path with lower return loss or lower resistance. 
     In one example, the multi-filter package can include multiple separate bandpass filters, with each bandpass filter configured for a separate frequency band. Each separate frequency band can have a guard band between the frequency band (i.e. the frequency bands are non-adjacent). Each of the bandpass filters can be designed to have an input that is impedance matched to a first common port, and an output that is impedance matched to a second common port. 
     In another example, it can be difficult for multiple different bandpass filters, each with different passbands, to each be impedance matched to a common port. To overcome that limitation, the multi-filter package can include one or more matching networks. For example, a matching network can be coupled to inputs of two or more BPFs in the multi-filter package. A separate matching network can be coupled to the outputs of two or more BPFs in the multi-filter package. The matching network(s) can each be a separate module that is external to the BPFs, but within the multi-filter package. The matching network(s) can include series inductors and/or shunt capacitors, which can function to impedance match the inputs of the BPFs in the multi-filter package to the first common port and/or impedance match the outputs of the BPFs in the multi-filter package to the second common port. The impedance matching can be between a common port and each individual BPF port. In other words, each BPF can be matched to a common port, and not to other BPFs. The impedance matching provided by the matching network(s) can enable a signal to travel through a BPF on a lower return loss path in the multi-filter package and bypass a BPF on a higher return loss path of the multi-filter package. Depending on the combination of BPFs in the multi-filter package, the matching implementation can be designed accordingly. 
     As used herein, the term “connected” typically refers to two devices that are directly electrically connected. The term “communicatively coupled” or “coupled” refers to two devices that are electrically connected, with additional electrical components located between the two devices. However, the terms are meant to be descriptive and are not intended to be limiting. The terms “coupled”, “communicatively coupled”, and “connected” may be used interchangeably. 
     In one configuration, two or more sets of BPFs can be packaged together or connected to form a multi-common port multi-filter package (e.g., a DISO filter package). For example, a first set of BPFs consisting of two or more BPFs can be connected to a second set of BPFs consisting of one or more BPFs. The first set of BPFs can include DL BPFs and the second set of BPFs can include UL BPFs, or vice versa. The multi-filter package can include a first common port that connects to the first and second set of BPFs, a second common port that connects to the first set of BPFs and a third common port that connects to the second set of BPFs. The wires or signal traces that connect the first, second, and third common ports to each BPF in the first and second sets of BPFs, respectively, can be electrically short. In addition, the multi-filter package can include a matching network that is coupled to the first set of BPFs in the multi-filter package and/or a matching network that is coupled to the second set of BPFs in the multi-filter package. 
     As an example, the multi-filter package can include a first set of BPFs that includes a B 2  UL BPF and a B 4  UL BPF, as well as a second set of BPFs that includes a B 12  DL BPF and a B 13  DL BPF. Due to the matching network(s) and the electrically short wires or signal traces, a signal that enters the multi-filter package can pass through an appropriate BPF and bypass the other BPFs in the multi-filter package. For example, an UL signal will pass through one of the UL BPFs with a passband within the signal&#39;s band, and bypass the DL BPFs. Similarly, a DL signal will pass through one of the DL BPFs associated with the signal&#39;s band, and bypass the UL BPFs. Furthermore, due to the use of matching network(s) and the electrically short wires or signal traces, an UL signal can pass through an appropriate UL BPF and bypass other UL BPFs in the multi-filter package, and similarly, a DL signal can pass through an appropriate DL BPF and bypass other DL BPFs in other frequency bands in the multi-filter package. 
     In another example, as illustrated in  FIG. 13 a   , a multiband repeater can comprise a receive diversity antenna port. In this example, a bi-directional inside antenna port  1302  or bi-directional device antenna port  1302  can be configured to be coupled to an integrated device antenna  1310  or a bi-directional inside antenna  1310 . In another example, in an alternative, the bi-directional inside antenna port  1302  can be replaced by an UL inside antenna port and a DL inside antenna port, wherein the UL inside antenna port is separate from the DL inside antenna port, and the UL inside antenna port can be further configured to be coupled to an UL inside antenna and the DL inside antenna port can be further configured to be coupled to a DL inside antenna. 
     The integrated device antenna  1310  can receive an UL signal from a UE. The bi-directional inside antenna port  1302  can be configured to be coupled to a multi-common port multi-filter package  1312 . In another example, in an alternative, the bi-directional inside antenna port  1302  can be configured to be coupled to a splitter. The multi-common port multi-filter package  1312  can direct a signal into an UL path or from a DL path. In one example, the multi-common port multi-filter package  1312  can be used to separate the UL and DL paths. The separation of the UL and DL paths using the multi-common port multi-filter package  1312  can be used to separate the UL and DL paths with lower loss and higher UL to DL isolation than using a splitter. In addition, in this example, the multi-common port multi-filter package  1312  can be modified to have fewer outputs for a multiband repeater. For example, in a repeater having two uplink bands and two downlink bands, the multi-common port multi-filter package  1312  can have two outputs, rather than four outputs that would be typical when using a multiplexer. The signals in the UL and DL can be combined into common UL ports and DL ports, respectively. The combining can be achieved through impedance matching at the filter outputs in the multi-common port multi-filter package. 
       FIGS. 13 b  to 13 e    illustrate examples of multi-common port multi-filter packages. One or more multi-filter package(s)  1312   a  can be included in a repeater (i.e. signal booster or bidirectional amplifier). The multi-filter package  1312   a  can be communicatively coupled to a first interface port of the repeater. As shown in  FIG. 13 b   , the multi-filter package  1312   a  can include a first common port  1312   f , a second common port  1312   g , and a third common port  1312   h . The first common port  1312   f  can be communicatively coupled to the first interface port of the repeater. The first common port  1312   f  can also be communicatively coupled to a first set of filters  1312   o  in the multi-filter package  1312   a , such as a first UL BPF (UL BPF 1 )  1312   b  and a second UL BPF (UL BPF 2 )  1312   c , as well as to a second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a , such as a first DL BPF (DL BPF 1 )  1312   d  and a second DL BPF (DL BPF 2 )  1312   e . Furthermore, the second common port  1312   g  can be communicatively coupled to a second interface port of the repeater and the first set of filters  1312   o  in the multi-filter package  1312   a . The third common port  1312   h  can be communicatively coupled to the second interface port of the repeater and the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a.    
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 b   , the multi-filter package  1312   a  can include a first signal trace  1312   l , a second signal trace  1312   m  and a third signal trace  1312   n . The first signal trace  1312   l  can be coupled between the first common port  1312   f , and each filter in the first set of filters  1312   o  and each filter in the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a . The second signal trace  1312   m  can be coupled between the second common port  1312   g , and each filter in the first set of filters  1312   o  in the multi-filter package  1312   a . The third signal trace  1312   n  can be coupled between the third common port  1312   h , and each filter in the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a.    
     In one example, a length of the first signal trace  1312   l  from the first common port  1312   f  to each filter in the first set of filters  1312   o  and the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a  can have a substantially equal length (e.g., less than 10 mm +/−0.5 mm or less than 5 mm +/−0.25 mm). In another example, a length of the second signal trace  1312   m  from the second common port  1312   g  to each filter in the first set of filters  1312   o  in the multi-filter package  1312   a  can have a substantially equal length (e.g., less than 5 mm +/−0.25 mm). In yet another example, a length of the third signal trace  1312   n  from the third common port  1312   h  to each filter in the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a  can have a substantially equal length (e.g., less than 5 mm +/−0.25 mm). In a further example, a length of each of the first signal trace  1312   l , the second signal trace  1312   m  and the third signal trace  1312   n  can be less than 10 mm +/−0.5 mm or less than 5 mm +/−0.25 mm. 
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 c   , the first common port  1312   f  can be coupled to a matching network  1312   i . The matching network  1312   i  can be coupled to the first set of filters  1312   o  in the multi-filter package  1312   a , such as the first UL BPF (UL BPF 1 )  1312   b  and the second UL BPF (UL BPF 2 )  1312   c , as well as the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a , such as the first DL BPF (DL BPF 1 )  1312   d  and the second DL BPF (DL BPF 2 )  1312   e . Each BPF in the multi-filter package  1312   a  can be configured to filter one or more bands in one or more signals. Each of the bands can be non-spectrally adjacent, as previously discussed. The matching network  1312   i  can be configured to provide impedance matching for the inputs/outputs of the first set of filters  1312   o  and the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a  with the first common port  1312   f . Furthermore, in this example, the second common port  1312   g  and the third common port  1312   h  may not be coupled to matching networks. Accordingly, the input/outputs of the first set of BPFs  1312   o  can be impedance matched to the common port  1312   i . The input/outputs of the second set of BPFs  1312   p  can be impedance matched to the third common port  1312   h . 
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 d   , the second common port  1312   g  can be coupled to a matching network  1312   i . In this example, the matching network  1312   i  can be coupled to and impedance matched with the inputs/outputs of the first set of filters  1312   o  in the multi-filter package  1312   a , such as the first UL BPF (UL BPF 1 )  1312   b  and the second UL BPF (UL BPF 2 )  1312   c . Alternatively, or in addition, the third common port  1312   h  can be coupled to the matching network  1312   i . The matching network  1312   i  can be coupled to and impedance matched with the inputs/outputs of the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a , such as the first DL BPF (DL BPF 1 )  1312   d  and the second DL BPF (DL BPF 2 )  1312   e . In this example, the first common port  1312   f  and the third common port  1312   h  may not be coupled to matching networks. Accordingly, the first common port  1312   f  may be impedance matched directly to the inputs/outputs of the UL BPF 1   1312   b , UL BPF 2   1312   c , DL BPF 1   1312   d , and DL BPF 2   1312   e . In addition, the third common port  1312   h  may be impedance matched directly to the inputs/outputs of the DL BPF 1   1312   d  and DL BPF 2   1312   e.    
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 e   , the first common port  1312   f  can be coupled to a first matching network  1312   i , the second common port  1312   g  can be coupled to a second matching network  1312   j , and the third common port  1312   h  can be coupled to a third matching network  1312   k . The first matching network  1312   i  can be coupled to and impedance matched with the inputs/outputs of the first set of filters  1312   o  in the multi-filter package  1312   a , such as the first UL BPF (UL BPF 1 )  1312   b  and the second UL BPF (UL BPF 2 )  1312   c , as well as the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a , such as the first DL BPF (DL BPF 1 )  1312   d  and the second DL BPF (DL BPF 2 )  1312   e . The second matching network  1312   j  can be coupled to and impedance matched with the inputs/outputs of the first set of filters  1312   o  in the multi-filter package  1312   a . The third matching network  1312   k  can be coupled to and impedance matched with the inputs/outputs of the second set of filters  1312   p  in the multi-filter package  1312   a . 
     In one example, each filter in the multi-filter package  1312   a  can have an input that is impedance matched to one or more of a first, second, or third common port of the multi-filter package  1312   a  and/or each filter in the multi-filter package  1312   a  can have an output that is impedance matched to another of the first, second, or third common port in the multi-filter package  1312   a.    
     In one configuration, as shown in  FIGS. 13 b  to 13 e   , multi-filter package(s)  1312   a  can include a first impedance-matched filter set (e.g., the first set of filters  1312   o ), and a second impedance-matched filter set (e.g., the second set of filters  1312   p ). The first common port  1312   f  can be coupled to the first and the second impedance-matched filter sets, the second common port  1312   g  can be coupled to the first impedance-matched filter set, and the third common port  1312   h  can be coupled to the second impedance-matched filter set. In one example, the multi-filter package  1312   a  can include two or more impedance-matched uplink bandpass filters, with each uplink bandpass filter configured to pass one or more uplink bands, respectively, and two or more impedance-matched downlink bandpass filters, with each bandpass filter configured to pass one or more downlink bands, respectively. Accordingly, the multi-filter package  1312   a  can be configured to separately filter each of the bands of a signal with two or more downlink bands and two or more uplink bands. 
     In another example, an UL path can comprise one or more of a low-noise amplifier  1314 , an UL dual-common port multi-bandpass filter  1316 , a variable attenuator  1318 , a power amplifier (PA)  1320 , or a low-pass filter (LPF)  1322 . The low-noise amplifier  1314  can be an UL low-noise amplifier, the variable attenuator  1318  can be an UL variable attenuator, the power amplifier  1320  can be an UL power amplifier, and the low-pass filter  1322  can be an UL low-pass filter or low-order filtering. In another example, the power amplifier  1320  can comprise a variable gain power amplifier, a fixed-gain power amplifier, or a gain block. In another example, the LPF  1322  can be configured to be coupled between the power amplifier  1320  and an UL outside antenna port  1304  or UL node antenna port  1304  to filter harmonics emitted by the power amplifier  1320 . While a low pass filter is described in this example, it is not intended to be limiting. A low-order filter can be used to filter the harmonics. The low order filter can include one or more high pass filter poles and one or more low pass filter poles. The low-order filter can be configured to have low loss since it is located after the power amplifier  1320 . In another example, the power amplifier  1320  can be configured to be coupled directly to the UL outside antenna port  1304  without filtering between the power amplifier  1320  and the UL outside antenna port  1304 . 
     In another example, the UL dual-common port multi-bandpass filter  1316  can include a first bandpass filter for a first frequency (e.g., B 1 ) a second band-pass filter for a second frequency (e.g., B 2 ), and additional bandpass filters for additional bands, if desired. The UL dual-common port multi-bandpass filter  1316  can comprise a plurality of filters located in a single package. Each filter in the single package can be designed and configured to operate with other filters in the package. For example, each filter can be impedance matched with the other filters in the package to enable the filters to properly function within the same package. Each filter can be configured to provide a bandpass for a selected band that is non-frequency adjacent with the bandpass bands of other filters in the single package. The UL dual-common port multi-bandpass filter  1316  can be configured to pass two or more of 3GPP FDD frequency bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, or 71. In another example, the UL dual-common port multi-bandpass filter  1316  can be configured to pass two or more of 3GPP FDD frequency bands 1-28, 30, 31, 65, 66, 68, 70-74, or 85. In another example, the UL dual-common port multi-bandpass filter  1316  can be configured to pass two or more selected channels within a 3GPP FDD band. In another example, the UL dual-common port multi-bandpass filter  1316  can be configured to pass two or more selected frequency ranges within a 3GPP FDD band. 
       FIGS. 13 f  to 13 i    illustrate examples of dual-common port multi-filter packages. One or more multi-filter package(s)  1316   a  can be included in a repeater (i.e. signal booster or bidirectional amplifier). The multi-filter package  1316   a  can be communicatively coupled to a first interface port of the repeater. The first interface port can communicate one or more signals that include multiple bands. Each signal may communicate a single band, or multiple bands. 
     As shown in  FIG. 13 f   , the multi-filter package  1316   a  can include a first common port  1316   b  and a second common port  1316   c . The first common port  1316   b  can be coupled to the first interface port and an input to two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a , such as a first BPF (BPF 1 )  1316   d  and a second BPF (BPF 2 )  1316   e  in the multi-filter package  1316   e . The first BPF (BPF 1 )  1316   d  and the second BPF (BPF 2 )  1316   e  can be configured to filter one or more bands in one or more signals. The second common port  1316   c  can be coupled to a second interface port of the repeater, where the second interface can communicate the one or more signals, as well as to an output of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a.    
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 f   , the multi-filter package  1316   a  can include a first signal trace  1316   h  and a second signal trace  1316   i . The first signal trace  1316   h  can be coupled between the first common port  1316   b , and then divide to couple to the input of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a . Furthermore, the second signal trace  1316   i  can be coupled between the second common port  1316   c , and then divide to couple to the output of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a.    
     In one example, a length of the first signal trace  1316   h  from the first common port  1316   b  to the input to each of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a  can have a substantially equal length (e.g., less than 5 mm in length with a difference in length of less than +/−0.25 mm). In another example, a length of the second signal trace  1316   i  from the second common port  1316   c  to the output of each of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a  can have a substantially equal length (e.g., less than 5 mm in length with a difference of less than +/−0.25 mm). In yet another example, a length of each of the first signal trace  1316   h  and the second signal trace  1316   i  can be less than 2 millimeters (mm) in length. 
     In one example, the multi-filter package  1316   a  can be associated with at least one of a high band frequency or a low band frequency. 
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 f   , the multi-filter package  1316   a  can include two or more impedance-matched uplink bandpass filters for two or more uplink bands, respectively. Alternatively, the multi-filter package  1316   a  can include two or more impedance-matched downlink bandpass filters for two or more downlink bands, respectively. The impedance-matched filters can each have an input  1316   h  that is impedance matched to the first common port  1316   b , and an output  1316   i  that is impedance matched to the second common port  1316   c.    
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 g   , the multi-filter package  1316   a  can include a matching network  1316   f  The matching network  1316   f  can be coupled to an input of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a , such as the first BPF (BPF 1 )  1316   d  and the second BPF (BPF 2 )  1316   e  in the multi-filter package  1316   a . The matching network  1316   f  can be configured to impedance match the input of each of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a  to the first common port  1316   b.    
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 h   , the multi-filter package  1316   a  can include a matching network  1316   f  The matching network  1316   f  can be coupled to the output of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a , such as the first BPF (BPF 1 )  1316   d  and the second BPF (BPF 2 )  1316   e  in the multi-filter package  1316   a . The matching network  1316   f  can be operable to impedance match the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a.    
     In one example, each filter in the multi-filter package  1316   a  (e.g., the first BPF (BPF 1 )  1316   d  and the second BPF (BPF 2 )  1316   e ) can have an input that is impedance matched to inputs of other filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a  and/or each filter in the multi-filter package  1316   a  can have an output that is impedance matched to outputs of other filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a.    
     In one example, as shown in  FIG. 13 i   , the multi-filter package  1316   a  can include a first matching network  1316   f  and a second matching network  1316   g . The first matching network  1316   f  can be coupled to the input of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a , such as the first BPF (BPF 1 )  1316   d  and the second BPF (BPF 2 )  1316   e  in the multi-filter package  1316   a , and the second matching network  1316   g  can be coupled to the output of the two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a . Each of the matching networks can impedance match the input/output to the associated common port. 
     In one configuration, as shown in  FIGS. 13 f  to 13 i   , multi-filter package(s)  1316   a  can include an impedance-matched filter set (e.g., the first BPF (BPF 1 )  1316   d  and the second BPF (BPF 2 )  1316   e ) with the first common port  1316   b  and the second common port  1316   c.    
     In one example, the impedance-matched filter set can refer to a set of two or more filters in the multi-filter package  1316   a , wherein each filter in the set can have filter input that is impedance matched with a common port and a filter output that is impedance matched with a separate common port. The impedance matching can be accomplished at the filter, or using an impedance matching network within the multi-filter package  1316   a  that is coupled to the set of two or more filters, to enable a single common input and a single common output for the impedance-matched filter set. Accordingly, the multi-filter package  1316   a  can be configured to separately filter each of the bands of a signal with two or more downlink bands or two or more uplink bands. 
     In one example, the uplink bands can be combined using the dual-common port multi-bandpass filters. Rather than using a separate UL amplifier and filter chain for each band, channel, or frequency range, a single amplifier chain can be used with the dual-common port multi-bandpass filters capable of filtering the multiple bands, channels, or frequency ranges. This line-sharing technique simplifies the architecture, the number of components, and the layout of the repeater. In addition, line-sharing due to the combined filters can allow for additional component sharing, such as RF amplifiers (gain blocks), RF attenuators, RF detectors, and the like. With fewer components, the repeater can have a higher overall reliability and a lower overall cost. 
     In another example, after traveling on the UL path, the UL signal on the UL path can be amplified and filtered in accordance with the type of amplifiers and dual-common port multi-bandpass filters included on the UL path. The signal from the UL path can be directed to an UL node antenna port  1304 . The UL signal can be directed from the UL node antenna port  1304  to an integrated UL node antenna  1330  or an UL outside antenna  1330 . The UL node antenna  1330  can be an omnidirectional antenna or a directional antenna. The UL outside antenna  1330  can communicate the amplified and/or filtered UL signal to a base station. 
     In another example, an integrated DL node antenna port  1306  or DL outside antenna port  1306  can be configured to be coupled to an integrated DL node antenna  1350  or a DL outside antenna  1350 .
