RF REPEATERS FOR TIME DIVISION DUPLEX CORDLESS TELEPHONE SYSTEM

摘要

The object of the invention is to employ a single amplifier for both the transmit signals and also the receive signals in an RF repeater for interfacing with a base station for exchanging transmit and receive signals in a time division duplex cordless telephone system. A multicarrier amplifier (18) having an input and an output and a transfer switch (16) connected to the amplifier output and the amplifier input and having first and second switch states. The operation of the switch is controlled so that the transmit and receive signals are amplified by the amplifier. The other object is to chain RF repeaters so that the handset can roam over a roamer corridor covered by the RF repeaters. The RF repeaters (10A-10E) are provided with a dedicated signal link (42A-42E).
