1. An integrated repeater comprising:
- a repeater housing having a shape defined by dimensions;
a donor antenna positioned within the repeater housing, the donor antenna being configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal from a base station, the donor antenna emitting a transmission pattern in a transmission field, the transmission pattern having one or more null-field points in the transmission field, at least one of the one or more null-field points being directed into the shape of repeater the housing; and
,a server antenna positioned within the repeater housing and physically separated from the donor antenna, the server antenna being configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal from one or more wireless devices, the server antenna being positioned proximate to a location within the housing of the at least one of the one or more null-field points of the transmission pattern from the donor antenna, the position of the server antenna facilitating signal isolation between the server antenna and the donor antenna.

Abstract
An integrated repeater is provided that places a donor antenna and a server antenna proximate to null-field points from the server antenna and the donor antenna, respectively, thereby increasing the isolation level between the donor antenna and the server antenna.

10. A method of configuring an integrated repeater, the method comprising:
-
providing a donor antenna configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal from a base station, the donor antenna emitting a signal in a first transmission pattern having one or more null-field points, at least one of the one or more null-field points of the signal emitted from the donor antenna being directed into the shape of repeater the housing; providing a server antenna configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal from one or more wireless devices, the server antenna emitting a signal in a second transmission pattern having one or more null-field points, at least one of the one or more null-field points of the signal emitted from the server antenna being directed into the shape of repeater the housing; determining the position of the at least one of the one or more null-field points of the signal emitted from the donor antenna; determining the position of the at least one of the one or more null-field points of the signal emitted from the server antenna; positioning the donor antenna within a repeater housing proximate to the at least one of the one or more null-field points of the signal emitted from the server antenna; and
,positioning the server antenna within the repeater housing proximate to the at least one of the one or more null-field points of the signal emitted from the donor antenna, the position of the server antenna facilitating isolation between the server antenna and the donor antenna. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
