Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to digital interface modules (DIMs) for flexibly distributing digital and/or analog communications signals in wide-area analog distributed antenna systems (DASs). In this regard, in one aspect, a DIM is a multi-functional device capable of distributing the digital and/or analog communications signals to a local-area DASs in the wide-area DAS. The DIM comprises a digital communications interface for coupling with a digital signal source, an analog local distribution interface for coupling with an analog signal source, and at least one digital remote distribution interface for coupling with a head-end unit (HEU) of the local-area DAS. By employing the DIM in the wide-area DAS, it is possible to flexibly reconfigure the wide-area DAS for distributing digital and/or analog communications signals over the digital communications mediums.

Claim (Index 10):
The DIM of  claim 6 , wherein the digital signal processing circuit is further configured to:\n receive a combined uplink digital RF signal from the remote DAS component via the at least one digital remote distribution interface; split the combined uplink digital RF signal to generate one or more first uplink digital RF signals; provide the one or more first uplink digital RF signals to the downstream digital bus interface; provide the one or more first uplink digital RF signals to the upstream digital bus interface; and combine one or more respective first uplink digital RF signals to generate an uplink digital RF signal, wherein the one or more respective first uplink digital RF signals are programmably determined by the digital signal processing controller among the one or more first uplink digital RF signals.
