Patent ID: 11923905

Abstract:
The present application relates to a distributed antenna system, a method and an apparatus. The distributed antenna system comprises a digital-analog expansion unit and a remote cascade chain, the remote cascade chain comprising multiple remote units cascadingly connected by means of radio frequency cable, and a first remote unit of the remote cascade chain being connected to the digital-analog expansion unit by means of radio frequency cable. The digital-analog expansion unit is used to perform a baseband processing operation on a received external signal, and to perform interconversion of an analog RF signal and a digital RF signal. On this basis, the digital-analog expansion unit and the remote units use a cable connection-based daisy chain topology, which can both increase transmission bandwidth and effectively decrease transmission link costs; in addition, baseband processing being executed by the digital-analog expansion unit, and a remote unit not requiring baseband processing equipment, can effectively lower system component costs and operating power consumption. The present system is characterized by multi-mode, multi-band support and cell splitting, is easy to expand, and has low construction difficulty.
