Multiple-port signal boosters

摘要

A system is disclosed that includes a first interface port, a second interface port, a signal splitter device, a main booster, and a front-end booster. The signal splitter device may include first, second, and third splitter ports. The signal splitter device may be configured such that a first direction signal received at either of the second and third splitter ports is output at the first splitter port and a second direction signal that is received at the first splitter port is output at each of the second and third splitter ports. The main booster may include main first and second direction amplification paths that are each communicatively coupled between the first splitter port and the first interface port. The front-end booster may include front-end first and second direction amplification paths that are each communicatively coupled between the second splitter port and the second interface port.

1. A signal booster, comprising:
a first front-end booster including:
a first signal power level detector configured to detect a first power level of a first signal; anda first gain unit with a first adjustable gain configured to be applied to the first signal, the first adjustable gain adjusted based on the first power level; a second front-end booster including:
a second signal power level detector configured to detect a second power level of a second signal; anda second gain unit with a second adjustable gain configured to be applied to the second signal, the second adjustable gain adjusted based on the second power level; a signal combiner device configured to:
receive the first signal after the application of the first adjustable gain;receive the second signal after the application of the second adjustable gain; andcombine the first and second signals to form a third signal; and a main booster including:
a third signal power level detector configured to detect a third power level ofthe third signal; anda third gain unit with a third adjustable gain configured to be applied to the third signal, the third adjustable gain adjusted based on the third power level.
