Theory of Operation
A block diagram of the basic high-power MR Booster system is shown in Figure 2-3.
In order to simplify the discussion, a repeater-booster installation is assumed as in
Figure 2-1.

Downlink path
Duplexed RF from the repeater’s coverage antenna port is connected to the
booster repeater port. The repeater duplexer then routes the downlink signal
frequencies to the PA combiner/splitter module.
