Abstract

A mobile telephone repeater with a variable bandwidth is disclosed. The repeater comprises an uplink and downlink, each being provided with amplifier chains (6). Each chain comprises at least two band pass filter units (10, 11) coupled in series and having controllable pass bands, which at least partially overlap each other. The center frequency of the filter units are controllable so as to make the bandwidth of the resulting pass band variable. Consequently, the effective bandwidth of the amplifier chain is controllable.
