Bi-Directional Amplifier System for Radio Communication

Abstract

An amplifier system is provided that can be coupled between a handset and an antenna of a radio frequency (RF) satellite-network communication system. The amplifier system includes a first signal path for amplifying an RF signal received at the antenna when the amplifier system has power supplied thereto. A second signal path is created through the amplifier system when a transmission signal is generated at the handset and the amplifier system has power supplied thereto. A third signal path is created through the amplifier system when no power is supplied thereto. When the third signal path is created, the first signal path and second signal path are disrupted, while the third signal path couples the handset to the antenna.
