Patent number: 11496206Abstract: Radio frequency signal boosters are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a signal booster system includes a signal booster that is proximately located to an outdoor base station antenna. Implementing the signal booster system in this manner can provide a number of advantages relative to a configuration in which the signal booster is far from a base station antenna. For example, a long cable connected from an indoor signal booster to an outdoor base station antenna can be several meters long, resulting in significant cable loss that degrades transmit power and/or receiver sensitivity.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Cellphone-Mate, Inc.Inventor: Hongtao Zhan
