  • Patent number: 10432332
    Abstract: Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can measure a first power level within a passband. The repeater can adjust a gain of the repeater by a selected amount. The repeater can measure a second power level within the passband. The repeater can calculate a difference between the first power level and the second power level. The repeater can determine that the repeater is approaching an oscillation when the difference is different than a selected amount by a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20190260410
    Abstract: A user device cradle can include a receiver configured to removably retain a wireless user device. One or more Radio Frequency (RF) signal couplers and one or more power couplers can be disposed in the receiver of the cradle. The one or more RF signal couplers can be configured to couple one or more RF communication signals to the wireless user device, while the one or more power couplers can be configured to couple power to the wireless user device. The coupling of power to the user device can be reduced or minimized when a downlink signal is received by a user device in the user device cradle, or when the user device cradle is in a weak signal area.

  • Patent number: 10374698
    Abstract: Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can include one or more amplification and filtering signal paths. The repeater can include a controller. The controller can detect an oscillation in the repeater. The controller can reduce a gain in the repeater by a first amount to cease the oscillation in the repeater. The controller can reduce the gain in the repeater further by a second amount to create an oscillation margin. The controller can modify the gain in the repeater further by a third amount to create an offset to the oscillation margin.

  • Publication number: 20190207669
    Abstract: Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can include a first-direction signal path, a second-direction signal path and a controller. The controller can set a first gain for the first-direction signal path based on a second-direction received signal level. The controller can set a second gain for the second-direction signal path based on the second-direction received signal level with a differential with respect to the first gain. The differential between the first gain and the second gain can be set for a first signal type. The controller can adjust the differential between the first gain and the second gain for a second signal type.

  • Patent number: 10148341
    Abstract: Technology for a cellular signal booster operable to amplify cellular signals is disclosed. The cellular signal booster can include a downlink cellular signal path configured to amplify and filter a received downlink cellular signal in a plurality of selected bands. The downlink signal path can combine at least a first band and a second band in the plurality of selected bands. The cellular signal booster can include a controller operable to perform network protection by adjusting an uplink gain or noise power for at least one of a first band or a second band in an uplink signal path. The uplink gain or noise power can be adjusted for the first band in the uplink signal path or the second band in the uplink signal path using a signal strength associated with the received downlink cellular signal on the downlink cellular signal path.
