Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed in the detailed description include analog distributed antenna system (DAS) supporting distribution of digital communications signals interfaced from a digital signal source and analog radio frequency (RF) communications signals. Analog RF communications signals received from analog RF signal sources are distributed in the analog DAS without being digitized. The analog DAS is also configured to interface with digital signal sources and compatibly distribute digital communications signals. Hence, a digital signal interface in head-end equipment (HEE) is configured to convert downlink digital communications signals to downlink analog RF communications signals for distribution to a plurality of remote units. The digital signal interface is also configured to convert uplink analog RF communications signals to uplink digital communications signals for distribution to the digital signal source(s). By providing the digital signal interface in the HEE, the analog DAS can be configured to distribute digital communications signals to analog DAS components.

Claim (Index 1):
An analog wireless communications system configured to support analog radio frequency (RF) communications signals and digital communications signals distribution, comprising:\n a plurality of remote units; a head-end equipment (HEE), comprising:\n at least one RF signal interface communicatively coupled to at least one RF signal source; \n at least one digital signal interface communicatively coupled to at least one digital signal source; \n a downlink communications signal interface coupled to the at least one RF signal interface and the at least one digital signal interface; \n an uplink communications signal interface coupled to the at least one RF signal interface and the at least one digital signal interface; and \n a HEE front end interface coupled to the downlink communications signal interface and the uplink communications signal interface; \n at least one downlink communications medium coupled to the HEE front end interface and the plurality of remote units; and at least one uplink communications medium coupled to the HEE front end interface and the plurality of remote units.
