To meet the needs of these customers, each telecom company has installed indoor antennas, base stations, and mobile repeaters in the shaded area. In addition, the frequency bands used by customers may vary. For example, a terminal used by customers can support not only a mobile communication method based on a large base station such as a WAN, a WIFI, a short distance wireless, but also various wireless communication methods. Typically, indoor antennas are installed in proportion to the size of the building.

However, since it is not possible to grasp the distribution and the real-time usage of users using various wireless communication methods in a building, it is not known whether an adequate number of indoor antennas are installed in the building.

[ Thus, the management apparatus 90 can effectively manage communication traffic in the building.

The antenna 60 according to this embodiment will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG.

The connection line 17 is connected to the feed line 15.

Here, BLE is one of the short-range wireless communication technologies, which means the core function of Bluetooth V 4.0. BLE has a relatively small duty cycle as compared to the classical Bluetooth standard, it can be produced at a low price, and can be operated for many years with a coin size battery by reducing average power and standby power.

BLE is a new low-power Bluetooth specification that improves the relative power consumption of the existing Bluetooth while maintaining stability and security, which are advantages of Bluetooth. The BLE separates the data channel and the broadcasting channel.

The wireless charger 30 includes a power converter for converting a predetermined RF signal applied from the antenna element 10 and another antenna into electric energy, and a battery for charging the electric energy converted in the power converter. The charged battery provides the operating power of the BLE element 20. [ Since the detailed configuration of the wireless charger 30 related to the wireless charging belongs to the known technology, further detailed description will be omitted.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since the wireless charger 30 is used as the power source of the BLE element 20, it is not necessary to replace it in accordance with the general use of the battery.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the wireless charger 30 is described as a power source of the BLE element 20, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a general battery may be used as the power source of the BLE element 20.

The band pass filter 40 is connected between the antenna element 10 and the BLE element 20 so that a signal transmitted from the BLE element 20 to the antenna element 10 is passed therethrough, The signal transmitted to the element 20 is a filter that attenuates and removes the signal. The bandpass filter 40 may be installed in the radiation pattern 13 and the BLE element 20. That is, the band-pass filter 40 is provided on the connection line 17 to connect the radiation pattern 13 and the BLE element 20. For example, a saw filter may be used as the band-pass filter 40. Saw filters are electronic components used in wireless communication devices. The saw filter arranges IDT metal electrodes on a substrate with piezoelectric characteristics, converts electrical signals into mechanical signals through the substrate and electrode structure, controls the required frequency and phase components of the signals being transmitted and received, and suppresses unwanted signals Which is a kind of band-pass filter 40 that filters a signal.
