  • Publication number: 20240113771
    Abstract: A technology is described for a dual path repeater configurable for a split mode and a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mode. The dual path repeater can comprise first and second server ports and first and second donor ports. Four amplification and filtering paths are communicatively coupled between the ports. Each amplification and filtering path include a software defined filter (SDF). The SDFs are configured to filter the same 3GPP bands to provide MIMO communication or the first SDF and the second SDF are configured to filter different bands to enable the dual path switchable repeater to provide split mode communication on multiple TDD/FDD bands.

  • Patent number: 11848654
    Abstract: A technology is described for a repeater. A repeater can comprise a first port; a second port; a first-direction amplification and filtering path coupled between the first port and the second port; a multiplexer coupled between: the first-direction amplification and filtering path; and the second port; and a power amplifier (PA) coupled between the first port and the multiplexer. The repeater can further comprise an adjustable matching network coupled between the PA and the multiplexer, wherein the adjustable matching network is actively adjusted to match an impedance of an output of the PA at a selected channel over a frequency range for a first-direction signal with an impedance of an input of the multiplexer over the selected channel over the frequency range for a first-direction signal.

  • Patent number: 11784735
    Abstract: A technology is described for adjusting repeater gain based on user equipment need. A downlink path of the repeater can be deactivated. A deactivated throughput value can be received from the UE for data received at the UE in a selected time period. The downlink amplification path of the repeater can be activated. An activated throughput value for data received at the UE in the selected time period can be received from the UE. A difference can be determined between the deactivated throughput value and the activated throughput value. A repeater gain value can be reduced or bypassed when the deactivated throughput value is greater than the activated throughput value by a selected threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11777591
    Abstract: Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can include a first port and a second port. The repeater can include a transmitter communicatively coupled to the first port and a receiver communicatively coupled to the second port. The transmitter can transmit a path loss signal. The receiver can receive the path loss signal transmitted by the transmitter. The repeater can include a controller. The controller can identify a first power level of the signal transmitted from the transmitter. The controller can identify a second power level of the signal received at the receiver. The controller can determine an antenna feedback path loss of the repeater based on the first power level and the second power level. The controller can set a maximum gain level for the repeater based on the antenna feedback path loss to avoid an oscillation in the repeater.
