BROADBAND DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM WITH NON-DUPLEXER ISOLATOR SUB-SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a downlink reference signal from a downlink path;
generating, by a non-duplexer isolator sub-system, a mitigation signal from the downlink reference signal by mitigating uplink frequency components in the downlink reference signal; and
mitigating, by the non-duplexer isolator sub-system, downlink frequency components in an uplink signal traversing an uplink path by combining the mitigation signal with the uplink signal.

Abstract
Certain aspects and aspects of the present invention are directed to a distributed antenna system having a downlink communication path, an uplink communication path, and a non-duplexer isolator sub-system. The downlink communication path can communicatively couple a transmit antenna to a base station. The uplink communication path can communicatively couple a receive antenna to the base station. In one aspect, the non-duplexer isolator sub-system can be electronically configured for isolating uplink signals traversing the uplink communication path from downlink signals. In another aspect, a non-duplexer isolator sub-system can be configurable in one or more mechanical steps selecting a frequency response. In another aspect, a non-duplexer isolator sub-system can include an active mitigation sub-system.
