RF is radio frequency current, which is a short term for high frequency alternating electromagnetic wave.
In the prior art, in order to make the coverage of the radio frequency signal wider or perform regional coverage so as to facilitate positioning of the terminal equipment, multiple antennas are necessarily used to improve the coverage or perform regional coverage, but often, the scenes or projects requiring multiple antenna application have only one signal source, and then the goal is achieved by adopting a radio frequency branching mode through a power division mode or a time division multiplexing mode.
For example, the indoor distribution system adopts a power division mode to expand the antennas, but the more antennas need to be accessed, the smaller the power transmitted from the base station equipment to the antenna end is, but the higher the receiving sensitivity of the general terminal equipment is, the smaller the influence is, and the signals are also covered in real time, so the indoor distribution system can adopt a power division expansion and branching mode.
