Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an on-channel repeater capable of removing feedback signals based on pilot partitioning which can repeat the same output signal as a repeater reception signal at the same frequency by estimating a feedback signal caused by low isolation of Tx/Rx antennas from a radio frequency (RF) signal being transmitted and thus compensating distortion of a reception signal, and a method thereof.
