• Wide band
• Narrow Band
• Higher insertion losses (~3 dB/stage)
• Low insertion loss (3-4 dB)
• On-air combining possible (DUCOM)

• No. of RF = No. of TRX BCCH TRX except for TS0 may hop
Wideband Repeaters:
• Usable for SFH and BFH
• Careful implementation (amplification of signals
in the whole frequency band)
