An oscillation detecting apparatus for detecting an oscillation of a wireless repeater intervening between a base station and a mobile station brought in communication with each other through a TDMA system. The wireless repeater produces an input signal based on a radio wave transmitted from one of the base station and the mobile stations, and amplifies the input signal to produce an output signal. The output signal is transmitted from the wireless repeater to the other of the base station and the mobile station. The oscillation detecting apparatus comprises producing apparatus for producing a power level signal varied in proportion with an amplitude of the output signal. The power level signal is formed by, for example, an envelope of the output signal. The oscillation detecting apparatus further comprises first detecting apparatus for detecting a direct current component included in the power level signal, and second detecting apparatus for detecting an alternating current component included in the power level signal. The oscillation detecting apparatus further comprises first judging apparatus for judging whether the direct current component of the power level signal has reached a predetermined upper-limiting level, and second judging apparatus for judging whether the alternating current component of the power level signal is smaller than a predetermined criterion level. The oscillation detecting apparatus includes deciding apparatus for deciding that the wireless repeater is oscillating when both judgments are affirmative, thereby making it possible to enhance the accuracy of the oscillation detection.
36 Method of reconfiguring a distributed communication system using allocation loading level US378758 1995-01-26 US5708962A 1998-01-13 John B. MacIntyre; Kristin J. Cramer; Kevin L. Malm; Lee J. Kilayko-Domingo
The present invention encompasses a method of reconfiguring a distributed communication system (100). A typical distributed communication system (100) includes a plurality of repeaters (102-106) connected via a LAN (108, 110). When a repeater that is acting as an active master (104) receives a Trunking Status Pulse (118), the active master (104) will compare the status information in the received TSP (118) with the present status information to determine which active master is the favorable active master. The active master with the favorable present resource allocation loading level will continue to operate as the active master, while the active with the least favorable present resource allocation loading level will relinquish control as an active master.

38 Communications repeater monitoring system US120529 1987-11-12 US4941198A 1990-07-10 Edward R. Johnson; Ladan A. Parandoosh; Joseph F. Lutz
A monitoring and alarm system for a radio frequency microwave communications repeater unit. A plurality of signals representative of the status of a corresponding plurality of operating conditions of the repeater unit are simultaneously generated. The signals are time multiplexed to form a combined signal. The combined signal is encoded to form a digital signal of frames of data having a frequency substantially less than the communication signal carrier frequency and preferably less than the communication modulating signal frequency, with a frame being formed of data from each of the status signals. A variable attenuator is responsive to the digital signal for varying the level of the communication signal proportionally with the value of the digital signal. The level-varied communication signal is then retransmitted. At a receiver unit for receiving the retransmitted communication signal there is an automatic gain control circuit responsive to the signal level of the received retransmitted communication signal for generating a control signal indicative of the level of the received communication signal. The digital signal is regenerated from this control signal and is decoded into a plurality of output signals corresponding to and representative of the original operating-condition-status signals.
39 Repeater monitoring and fault location US669857 1976-03-24 US4025737A 1977-05-24 Sherman Theodore Brewer
A repeater monitoring and fault location system is disclosed for a submarine cable system which includes repeaters of the type having separate high band and low band amplifiers for two-way transmission over one cable. Each repeater includes an oscillator for generating a signal at a frequency in the cutapart region between the high frequency and low frequency transmission bands and which is uniquely identifiable to that repeater. A test tone at a frequency in the low frequency transmission band is transmitted from the low frequency transmitting end along the cable. The low band amplifiers intermodulate the local oscillator signals with the transmitted test tone to generate a series of seond order modulation products at frequencies in the high frequency band. A low pass filter, designed to have a controlled moderate level of loss in the portion of its high frequency stop band over which the frequencies of the second order modulation components lie, is connected to the output of each low band amplifier. A series of second order modulation components at frequencies uniquely identifiable to each repeater is coupled to the high frequency transmitting path for transmission to the low frequency transmitting end. By comparing the magnitudes of the returned modulation components with reference levels, the modulation performance of each low band amplifier is determined and a faulty amplifier can be located.
40 Automatic repeater stressing US625481 1975-10-24 US4000467A 1976-12-28 George Howard Lentz
The downconverter in a digital radio repeater is normally connected to a bias which causes the converter to perform at optimum efficiency in developing an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. This IF signal is then processed in an IF section which is gain controlled by an automatic gain control (AGC) signal. The AGC signal is compared with a reference voltage to develop an error signal which is in turn amplified to produce a stressing bias voltage. During periods of repeater testing a remotely originated command signal causes a switching circuit to be activated resulting in the application of the stressing voltage to the downconverter in place of the normal bias. As a result a predetermined signal-to-noise ratio is established in the digital repeater regardless of variations in the input signal level due to differences in repeater spacing or atmospheric conditions.
