ABSTRACT:
A system for distributing RF signals to users over power lines in a structure. The system includes a head end unit that receives RF signals in a first frequency range to be distributed to users in the structure. The head end unit is coupled to the power lines of the structure. RF signals are transmitted over the power lines in a second frequency range. The head end unit includes a frequency converter that translates RF signals between the first frequency range and the second frequency range. The system also includes a number of remote units. The remote units are coupled to the power lines and disposed throughout the structure to provide RF coverage within the structure. The remote units include frequency converters that convert signals between the first and second frequency ranges. Further, an antenna is coupled to each remote unit to transmit signals to and receive signals from the users in the first frequency range.
