  • Wideband low latency repeater and methods
    Patent number: 8761233
    Abstract: A signal repeater (200) includes a signal processing part (202) and a signal repeating part (204). The signal processing part includes a converter (300) configured to receive an input signal and to convert the input signal into quadrature signals, and a processor (302, 304, 306) configured to process the quadrature signals to determine one or more characteristics of the input signal, and to compare the one or more characteristics of the input signal and a plurality of predetermined characteristics to generate a comparison result. The signal repeating part (204) is configured to selectively repeat the input signal as a repeated signal in accordance with the comparison result.
    Type: Grant
