REPEATER AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH |
摘要 |
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a repeater device having a first coupler to extract downstream channel signals from first guided electromagnetic waves bound to a transmission medium of a guided wave communication system. An amplifier amplifies the downstream channel signals to generate amplified downstream channel signals. A channel selection filter selects one or more of the amplified downstream channel signals to wirelessly transmit to the at least one client device via an antenna. A second coupler guides the amplified downstream channel signals to the transmission medium of the guided wave communication system to propagate as second guided electromagnetic waves. Other embodiments are disclosed. |

1. A repeater device, comprising:
a first coupler configured to extract first channel signals from first guided electromagnetic waves that propagate without a separate electrical return path along a transmission medium of a guided wave communication system; an amplifier configured to amplify the first channel signals to generate amplified first channel signals; a channel selection filter configured to select one or more of the amplified first channel signals to wirelessly transmit to at least one device; a second coupler configured to guide the amplified first channel signals to the transmission medium of the guided wave communication system to propagate as second guided electromagnetic waves; and a channel duplexer configured to transfer the amplified first channel signals to the second coupler and to the channel selection filter. |
