Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring passive components of a passive public safety distributed antenna system are provided, including a bi-directional amplifier, a public safety monitor coupled to and in communication with the bi-directional amplifier, and at least one smart node coupled to and in communication with the public safety monitor. The at least one smart node includes a processor configured to monitor signal characteristic information of at least one passive component of the system and transmit the signal characteristic information of the at least one passive component to the public safety monitor. The public safety monitor generates system performance information based on a signal at the bi-directional amplifier and the transmitted signal characteristic information of the at least one passive component from the at least one smart node.
