System for coupling wireless repeater donor and server units over cable

摘要

A three hop wireless repeater is disclosed, including a donor unit having transmit and receive antennas for wireless communication with one or more cellular base stations, and a server unit having transmit and receive antennas for wireless communication with the donor unit and with one or more wireless communication devices. The repeater further includes a physical cable interconnect between the donor unit and the server unit. The physical cable interconnect includes a donor unit sleeve having donor unit coupling antennas to inductively couple signals to and from the transmit and receive antennas of the donor unit, and a server unit sleeve having server unit coupling antennas to inductively couple signals to and from the transmit and receive antennas of the server unit.
