Reasons for Using a In-Line Signal Booster with
In-Building Installations
Covering multiple rooms or even floors of a building can be challenging
as each is a different size and shape. Balancing the signal coverage can
require multiple attenuators, cables, taps and splitters. All of these can
decrease your system gain and coverage. Reasons to install an In-Line
Signal Booster include:
Cable loss – Long runs of cable from the Inside Antenna to the main 1.
Signal Booster may have significant loss or require expensive low-loss
cable.
Splitter loss – When multiple rooms must be evenly covered, a splitter 2.
evenly divides the signal for separate Inside Antennas. Each division
reduces system gain and inside coverage area.
Tap loss – Taps pass the signal with low attenuation out one port and 3.
pass the signal with high attenuation port continues on to another
location possibly with more splitters and taps downstream. The
attenuation port typically runs directly to an Inside Antenna.
Increased system dynamic range – A user who gets too near an Inside 4.
Antenna can lower the gain and coverage area for all other users. The
In-Line Signal Booster adds dynamic range to the in-building installation
and reduces use of the main Signal Booster automatic gain control.
The In-Line Signal Booster overcomes the losses associated with large
in-building installations. The Signal Booster recovers inside coverage area
that is normally lost due to cable, splitter and tap loss. By installing the
Signal Booster near an Inside Antenna, uplink noise figure is minimized
and downlink power is maximized. Additionally, the In-Line Signal Booster
enhances performance of the main Signal Booster by increasing the system
gain and input signal dynamic range. The variable gain knobs on the In-Line
allow for simple, quick signal level balancing and installation.
