Patent ID: 7486968

Claim:
A method for coupling each of one or more peripheral devices to a network of distributed antennas, each peripheral device being suitable for transmission of one or more carrier signals, which each occupy a different radio frequency band, the network of antennas comprising a main transmission path by cable, in which the carrier signals are coupled into and out of the main transmission path from and to the peripheral devices respectively, comprising the steps of a) dividing the network of antennas into a first network and a second network comprising a first main transmission path part and a second main transmission path part of the main transmission path respectively an intermediate coupling device being coupled to the first and second main transmission path parts; and at a location between the first and second main transmission path parts: b) splitting the first main transmission path part into a first group of intermediate transmission paths or transmission of different carrier signals over different intermediate transmission paths of the first group; c) splitting the second main transmission path part into a second group of intermediate transmission paths for transmission of different carrier signals over different intermediate transmission paths of the second group; and d) connecting an intermediate path of the second group to an intermediate path of the first group or to a further peripheral device.
