A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11923905B2) discloses a distributed antenna system comprising at least two digital-analog expansion units and remote cascade chains. Each digital-analog expansion unit is connected to a remote cascade chain, with each chain consisting of multiple remote units connected by radio frequency cables. The system allows for baseband processing of digital radio frequency signals and digital-to-analog conversion for downlink transmission, as well as analog-to-digital conversion for uplink transmission. The remote units interact with terminal devices and perform analog radio frequency signal interactions through the radio frequency cable. The system also includes monitoring circuits, power supply circuits, and couplers for signal processing and interaction between components.

Furthermore, the patent details a signal transmission method within the distributed antenna system, involving baseband processing, digital-to-analog conversion, and analog-to-digital conversion for signal transmission between digital-analog expansion units and remote units. The method includes cascading digital-analog expansion units through optical fibers, combining multi-channel signals, and transparently transmitting framed digital radio frequency signals. Additionally, a gain control method and apparatus are disclosed for optimizing signal transmission by measuring power values, determining cable lengths, and adjusting attenuation values for digital control attenuators. These innovative technologies aim to enhance the efficiency and performance of distributed antenna systems in telecommunications networks.
