Abstract:
In accordance with one or more embodiments, an analog surface wave repeater pair includes a first launcher configured to transmit and receive first guided electromagnetic waves that propagate on an outer surface of a first segment of a transmission medium. A second launcher is configured to transmit and receive second guided electromagnetic waves that propagate on an outer surface of a second segment of the transmission medium. A first transceiver includes a first notch filter is configured to attenuate signals in a fourth generation (4G) wireless frequency band from the first microwave signal generated by the first launcher in response to receiving the first guided electromagnetic waves. A second transceiver includes a second notch filter configured to attenuate signals in the fourth 4G wireless frequency band from a second microwave signal generated by the second launcher in response to receiving the second guided electromagnetic waves.

Claim (Index 20):
An analog surface wave repeater pair comprising:\n a first launching means for transmitting and receiving first guided electromagnetic waves that propagate on an outer surface of a first transmission medium segment without requiring an electrical return path; a second launching means for transmitting and receiving second guided electromagnetic waves that propagate on an outer surface of a second transmission medium segment without requiring an electrical return path; a first transceiver including:\n a first low noise amplifier configured to receive a first microwave signal from the first launching means, wherein the first microwave signal is generated by the first launching means in response to receiving the first guided electromagnetic waves from the first transmission medium segment; \n a first notch filter configured to attenuate signals in a fourth generation (4G) wireless frequency band from the first microwave signal; \n a first amplifier configured to amplify a second microwave signal; and \n a first directional coupler configured to couple the first microwave signal from the first launching means and the second microwave signal to the first launching means to facilitate transmission of the first guided electromagnetic waves on the first transmission medium segment; and \n a second transceiver including:\n a second low noise amplifier configured to receive the second microwave signal from the second launching means, wherein the second microwave signal is generated by the second launching means in response to receiving the second guided electromagnetic waves from the second transmission medium segment; \n a second notch filter configured to attenuate signals in the 4G wireless frequency band from the second microwave signal; \n a second amplifier configured to amplify the first microwave signal; and \n a second directional coupler configured to couple the second microwave signal from the second launching means and the first microwave signal to the second launching means to facilitate transmission of the second guided electromagnetic waves on the second transmission medium segment.
