Abstract

A distributed antenna system includes at least one master unit communicatively coupled to at least one base station and a plurality of remote units located remotely from the at least one master unit. The plurality of remote units are communicatively coupled to the master unit over at least one transport communication link. The system is configured to distribute uplink and downlink signals between a base station and mobile units. A digital unit generates digital samples indicative of spectrum included in at least one of the uplink and downlink signals. A network interface communicates with an external computer. The digital unit is configured to process the digital samples and communicate information indicative of the spectrum to the external computer via the network interface.
