The use of passive repeaters for mobile communications is often discarded because of the inherent losses that these systems introduce. However, the radio signal coverage of indoor areas poses a particularly complex problem in buildings with heavily reinforced concrete walls and shielded or underground infrastructure, which introduce great attenuation....

In two-way radio applications, achieving constant efficiency across a wide power level is an important design criterion to be considered. Constant efficiency in this context refers to efficiency improvement at low power level while maintaining high efficiency at high power level. Switched gain stage and drain supply adjustment methods...
