Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to reducing power consumption in a remote unit of a wireless distribution system (WDS) for intermodulation product suppression. Intermodulation products generated by a power amplifier circuit can leak from a downlink signal path into an uplink signal path to degrade sensitivity of the uplink signal path in a remote unit. In this regard, the remote unit is configured to measure a power of the leaked intermodulation products and enables a selected number of power amplifiers in the power amplifier circuit for reducing the measured power of the leaked intermodulation products to a predetermined threshold. By enabling only the selected number of power amplifiers based on the measured power of the leaked intermodulation products, it is possible to avoid enabling an excessive number of power amplifiers in the power amplifier circuit, thus helping to reduce power consumption for intermodulation product suppression.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for suppressing a leaked intermodulation product in an uplink signal path in a remote unit, comprising:\n measuring a power of a leaked intermodulation product caused by at least one intermodulation product leaked from a downlink signal path into an uplink signal path; determining a selected number of power amplifiers among a plurality of power amplifiers in a power amplifier circuit in the remote unit for reducing the measured power of the leaked intermodulation product to a predetermined threshold; controlling the power amplifier circuit to enable the determined selected number of power amplifiers among the plurality of power amplifiers; and providing a balanced power amplifier circuit as the power amplifier circuit, wherein the balanced power amplifier circuit comprises at least four power amplifiers configured to be controlled by a control circuit to amplify a downlink RF signal, wherein the uplink signal path and the downlink signal path each comprise at least one optical fiber.
