Abstract

A method and apparatus that allows off-the-shelf equipment to be installed in a wide range of physical sites having a wide range of distances between a master system unit and each of a plurality of remote units. The master system unit has an integrated active combiner/splitter. The active combiner/splitter provides bi-directional gain or attenuation in each of the individual inputs/outputs to allow control of the signal level.
