A multi-antenna station has multiple remote front-ends coupled to multiple antennas. Each remote front-end includes a power amplifier (PA), a low noise amplifier (LNA), and first and second coupling units. On the transmit path, a first RF signal is received via a first port, routed by the first coupling unit to the power amplifier, amplified to obtain the desired output power level, and routed by the second coupling unit to a second port for transmission via the antenna. On the receive path, a second RF signal is received via the second port, routed by the second coupling unit to the LNA, amplified to obtain a higher signal level, and routed by the first coupling unit to the first port for transmission to the transceiver. |
