ABSTRACT:
A distributed antenna system is configured in a daisy-chain fashion along a single path. The summation of the signals received by each antenna port of the system is distributed along the path. The signal gain for the system is controlled by distributed attenuation and distributed gain control by using attenuators at port inputs, port outputs, or both.
