摘要: An optical medium, such as fiber, is tapped to provide an antenna port wherever radio service coverage is desired. Each antenna port is a bi-directional remote unit that receives a digital optical signal from a host unit and transforms the signal to a radio frequency signal for transmission by the remote unit. The remote unit receives radio frequency signals that are converted to digital signals and summed with signals from other remote units and converted to an optical signal for transmission to the host unit.

摘要: Systems and method for resampling are provided. A method of resampling includes receiving a first sampled signal that is sampled at a first sample rate, where the first sample rate is a submultiple of a system clock rate for a Farrow filter. The method further includes resampling the first sampled signal, using the Farrow filter having a plurality of finite impulse response (FIR) filters and an arbitrary position interpolator, at a second sample rate to generate a second sampled signal. The interpolation factor for each sample of the second sampled signal is retrieved from at least one lookup table stored in memory and the first sample rate and the second sample rate are fixed and locked to a common frequency reference. The method further includes outputting the second sampled signal at the second sample rate.

摘要: One embodiment is directed to a system for use with a coverage area in which one or more wireless units wirelessly transmit using a wireless radio frequency spectrum. The system comprises a first unit, and a plurality of second units communicatively coupled to the first unit using at least one communication medium. Each of the plurality of second units generates respective digital RF samples indicative of a respective analog wireless signal received at that second unit. Each of the plurality of second units communicates the respective digital RF samples generated by that second unit to the first unit using the at least one communication medium. The first unit digitally sums corresponding digital RF samples received from the plurality of second units to produce summed digital RF samples. The system is configured so that an input used for base station processing is derived from the resulting summed digital RF samples.
