Abstract :
The performances of a wideband passive repeater including two broadband antennas and a coaxial line are analyzed both from full-wave electromagnetic simulations and measurement data over 1.6 GHz bandwidth centered at 4 GHz. For carrier signal level lower than the detection threshold, the use of passive repeater can significantly improve the reliability of the wireless link.
