Repeater, also known as a network repeater or a relay, is a type of network device that reconstructs incoming electronic, wireless, or optical signals, primarily used to attempt to protect the integrity of the signal and extend the distance data can be safely transmitted. There are many types of signal repeaters, such as wireless signal repeaters, infrared signal repeaters, satellite signal repeaters, and so on. Regardless of which type of signal repeater it is, it plays a crucial role.
The wireless signal repeater is primarily used to convert wired alarm signals emitted by infrared beam sensors into corresponding wireless alarm signals, which are then transmitted via radio to the alarm controller. It is mainly applied in large areas such as buildings, villas, and factories, as these spaces may be too vast for the main unit to receive signals due to distance. The wireless signal repeater ensures that the signals are transmitted as unrestrictedly as possible.
The infrared signal repeater is primarily used to control home appliances, as radio frequency signals can penetrate buildings while infrared signals cannot. By converting radio frequency signals to infrared signals through the repeater, it enables remote control of appliances, thereby achieving long-distance control functionality.
Satellite signal repeaters process both analog and digital signals, primarily categorized into BeiDou satellite signal repeaters and GPS signal repeaters. The BeiDou satellite signal repeater is also known as GNSS satellite signal repeater. Due to the weak penetration ability of satellite signals, they cannot pass through buildings, leading to the inability to receive satellite signals indoors, which affects work or experimental testing. The GNSS satellite signal repeater plays a crucial role. The main difference between the GNSS satellite signal repeater and GPS signal repeater is the simple device connection and no limit on the number of indoor satellite receiving terminals.
The primary function of the GNSS satellite signal repeater is to transmit satellite signals from outdoor areas to indoor spaces or locations where satellite signals are otherwise inaccessible. It consists of four main components: an outdoor GNSS satellite receiving antenna, low-loss cables, an indoor GNSS transmitting antenna, and a GNSS satellite navigation signal controller.
GNSS satellite signal repeaters are primarily used in all stages of satellite positioning product development, production, debugging, and quality inspection lines. They are also applicable in satellite positioning laboratories and research institutions where testing and product performance verification of satellite positioning products are required.
GNSS satellite signal repeaters boast significant features across the board. The front-end matching technology of the receiving antenna ensures effective signal reception even in areas with severe obstructions. The unique multi-pole notch and front-end filtering technologies further effectively suppress interference signals. The full-gain low-loss cable ensures you receive the same signal quality indoors as outdoors. The advanced, maintenance-free, low-residual-voltage combination lightning protection technology effectively safeguards equipment safety. GNSS satellite signal repeaters have a long effective range, fine craftsmanship, safe operation, and strong scalability.
