1. A repeater, comprising one or more processors and memory configured to:
- measure a first power level within a passband;
adjust a gain of the repeater by a selected amount;
measure a second power level within the passband;
calculate a difference between the first power level and the second power level; and
determine that the repeater is approaching an oscillation when the difference is different than a selected amount by a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can measure a first power level within a passband. The repeater can adjust a gain of the repeater by a selected amount. The repeater can measure a second power level within the passband. The repeater can calculate a difference between the first power level and the second power level. The repeater can determine that the repeater is approaching an oscillation when the difference is different than a selected amount by a predetermined threshold.

6. A signal booster, comprising one or more processors and memory configured to:
-
identify first power levels for a plurality of sub-bands included in a defined passband, wherein the signal booster is configured to amplify signals on frequencies within the defined passband in accordance with an amplification level; identify second power levels for the plurality of sub-bands included in the defined passband after the amplification level is adjusted by a predetermined amount; compare the first power levels with the second power levels to determine whether or not the signal booster is approaching an oscillation; and modify the amplification level depending on whether the signal booster is approaching the oscillation or not approaching the oscillation. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A signal booster, comprising:
-
a narrowband detector operable to detect power levels for a plurality of sub-bands included in a defined passband, wherein the signal booster is configured to amplify signals on frequencies within the defined passband in accordance with an amplification level; and a controller configured to; compare the detected power levels with baseline power levels to determine whether or not the signal booster is approaching an oscillation; and modify the amplification level depending on whether the signal booster is approaching the oscillation or not approaching the oscillation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
