Method and system for repeater with gain control and isolation via polarization
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- mitigating via polarization isolation, signal interference between receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) signals in a repeater device that extends a range of extremely high frequency (EHF) signals communicated between a plurality of wireless devices, wherein said repeater device is operable to manage EHF forwarding via one or more control connections, and at least one of said one or more control connections is established utilizing a second interface that is separate from a first interface utilized for communicating said EHF signals between said plurality of wireless devices; and
maximizing a strength of said transmit (Tx) signals via signal gain control in said repeater device.

Abstract
A repeater device may be utilized to enable forwarding extreme high frequency (EHF) communication between EHF-enabled wireless devices. The repeater device may utilize polarization isolation to prevent and/or reduce interference between received and transmitted EHF RF signals in the repeater device. The repeater device may utilize signal gain control to maximize the transmit signal strength while forwarding EHF RF signals to enhance and/or enable polarization isolation between received and transmitted EHF RF signals. Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI) may be utilize to measure signal strength of transmit and/or received EHF RF signals to enable performing signal gain control. The repeater device may utilize control connections to enable communicating with the EHF-enabled wireless devices to facilitate performing signal gain control at the repeater device. Non-EHF interfaces, for example Bluetooth, may be utilized to establish the control connections.
