Patent ID: 7072611

Claim:
A repeating device comprising: a donor antenna for linking to a transmitting antenna of a base station; two orthogonally polarized donor antennas for linking to two orthogonally polarized receive antennas of said base station; a subscriber-side antenna for linking to at least one mobile transceiver; two orthogonally polarized subscriber-side antennas for linking to said at least one mobile transceiver; a first amplifier, connected between said donor antenna and said subscriber-side antenna, for amplifying a signal received by said donor antenna prior to transmitting said signal via said subscriber-side antenna; a second amplifier, connected between one of said orthogonally polarized donor antenna and one of said orthogonally polarized subscriber-side antenna, for amplifying a signal received by said one orthogonally polarized subscriber-side antenna prior to transmitting said signal via said one orthogonally polarized donor antenna; and a third amplifier, connected between the other of said orthogonally polarized donor antenna and the other of said orthogonally polarized subscriber-side antenna, for amplifying a signal received by said other orthogonally polarized subscriber-side antenna prior to transmitting said signal via said other orthogonally polarized donor antenna.
