Patent ID: 8611205

Claim:
A multi-hop booster system comprising: a network unit communicating with a wireless base transceiver, the network unit comprising: an analog-to-digital converter to digitize radio frequency signals from the wireless base transceiver; a polyphase filter for filtering the digitized radio frequency signals from the analog-to-digital converter; a fast Fourier transform processor for performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operation on the filtered, digitized radio frequency signals; and a digital-to-analog converter to convert the digitized radio frequency signals into analog output signals on one or more channels; and a user unit communicating with the network unit via a wireless link, the user unit comprising, for each of the one or more channels, an analog-to-digital converter to digitize the analog output signals from the network unit, a radar detection module that executes a radar detection algorithm to detect radar pulses in the analog output signals from the network unit, and an equalizer to equalize any time dispersal on the selected channel, the user unit further comprising: a coherent combiner to combine outputs of the equalizer of each channel; a polyphase filter for filtering the combined outputs of the equalizers; a fast Fourier transform processor for performing an FFT operation on the filtered, combined outputs of the equalizers; and a converter that sends the combined output waveform to a transceiver associated with a user device.
