A novel single frequency repeater is disclosed that eliminates the
problems of feedback and concurrent oscillation. The single frequency
repeater of the present invention comprises a backplane, a first antenna,
a filter, an amplifier, a power supply, a switch, and a second antenna.
The first antenna, filter, amplifier, power supply, and switch are
mounted to one side of the backplane. Preferably, the backplane is
electrically grounded. The second antenna is mounted on the second side
of the backplane, in an orthogonal direction to the first antenna on the
first side of the backplane. By placing the first antenna in the back
lobe of the second antenna, separating the first antenna and the second
antenna with the grounded backplane, and mounting the second antenna in
an orthogonal orientation to the first antenna, problems with feedback
and concurrent oscillation have been overcome.
