Patent ID: 7633998

Claim:
A system for receiving a satellite digital radio signal, the system comprising: a repeater comprising a unibody housing and an antenna disposed within the housing, the antenna being completely enclosed in the unibody housing, and the antenna being configured for receiving the satellite digital radio signal; a repeater circuit completely disposed in the unibody housing, the repeater circuit being configured for receiving the satellite digital radio signal of the antenna to condition and re-transmit the satellite digital radio signal as a first re-transmitted signal containing audio data capable of being transmitted through electrical wiring; a satellite digital radio signal receiver separate from the unibody housing and having a receiver circuit being configured to receive the first re-transmitted signal; and wherein the receiver circuit receives the first re-transmitted signal from a power cable of the satellite digital radio signal receiver, the power cable being configured to convert AC current to DC current for powering up the receiver circuit, and wherein the satellite digital radio signal for the antenna is received at a frequency of approximately 2.3 GHz and the first re-transmitted signal is transmitted through electrical wiring at a frequency of approximately 20 MHz and is converted back to 2.3 GHz by a mixer in the receiver circuit.
