Abstract: Techniques for optimizing a repeater gain during installation includes determining an oscillation reduction factor for reducing oscillation caused by feedback in the repeater. An indication of the oscillation reduction factor can be output to a user for use in determining an optimal antenna installation location and/or orientation.

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.

Abstract: Technology for a signal booster is disclosed. The signal booster can include a signal path operable to direct signals in two or more bands comprising at least a first band and a second band in the signal path. The signal booster can include a first tap path communicatively coupled to the signal path. The signal booster can include a second tap path communicatively coupled to the signal path. The signal booster can include a signal detector switchably connected to the first tap path and the second tap path to enable separate band detection for the first band and the second band.
