WIRELESS REPEATER WITH SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR

摘要

A wireless repeater includes a directional donor antenna and a display that can be used to indicate the downlink signal strength experienced by the wireless repeater. When placed in a signal strength test mode, the wireless repeater shuts down or attenuates the gain of the uplink channel to a nominal, sets the downlink gain a test value, determines the signal strength of the downlink channel, and displays an indication of the signal strength of the downlink channel. Alternatively, the wireless unit may display the downlink gain setting and the measured downlink signal strength at the same time to give the user a better understating of the operational conditions of the unit.
