A novel portable repeater for 5G applications

A novel repeater system for the 5th generation (5G) mobile network is described. It combines self-interference cancelling (SIC) technology and omni-directional antennas for portable applications. Its ease of use as a portable appliance makes it a good candidate for current 5G mobile network where coverage is expensive and limited. The equipment is currently built to support N41 and N78 bands, but the technology could support every other band as well. It could provide a total maximum gain of about 65dB, which enables the 5G coverage at the user site be enhanced and improved. The data rate and stability are greatly improved. The network coverage radius from the repeater can be extended over up to 18m. This paper will introduce the system architecture, technology and principle, the test results and practical application verifications.
