Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for automatically detecting passive components in communications systems using radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tags. A coupling circuit is provided in a system between a communications network and an RFID tag. The RFID tag is associated with a passive element of a distributed antenna system (“DAS”). The coupling circuit can allow an RFID signal received from an RFID transmitter over the communications network to be transported to the RFID tag. The coupling circuit can substantially prevent mobile communication signals on the communications network from being transported to the RFID tag.

Claim (Index 9):
A distributed antenna system comprising:\n a communications network; a radio frequency identification (RFID) transmitter positioned in a remote antenna; an RFID tag associated with a passive element remote from a position of the RFID transmitter over the communications network; a coupling circuit providing a physical coupling between the RFID tag and the communications network, wherein RFID signals received from the RFID transmitter and non-RFID signals are carried on the communications network over at least one same conductor; wherein the coupling circuit has a resonant frequency that allows the RFID signals received from the RFID transmitter over the communications network through the coupling circuit and inhibits the non-RFID signals from being transported to the RFID tag through the coupling circuit; and an attenuation circuit between the coupling circuit and the RFID tag, wherein the RFID tag is configured to be coupled to ground via the attenuation circuit.
