RADIO-FREQUENCY INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (RFIC) CHIP(S) FOR PROVIDING DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITIES, AND RELATED COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

摘要

Radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuit (RFIC) chip(s) allow for the integration of multiple electronic circuits on a chip to provide distributed antenna system functionalities. RFIC chips are employed in central unit and remote unit components, reducing component cost and size, increasing performance and reliability, while reducing power consumption. The components are also easier to manufacture. The RFIC chip(s) can be employed in distributed antenna systems and components that support RF communications services and/or digital data services.
