20100265996 | REPEATER AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING SIGNAL, AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING SYNCHRONOUS FREQUENCY THEREOF - A repeater having different input and output frequencies converts a signal received with the input frequency to a first intermediate frequency signal based on a local oscillating frequency for intermediate frequency conversion, and converts the first intermediate frequency signal to a second intermediate frequency signal by performing digital processing on the first intermediate frequency signal. Then, the repeater generates a first frequency tone signal that corresponds to a difference between the input and output frequencies, and generates a second frequency tone signal from the local oscillating frequency for intermediate frequency conversion and the first frequency tone signal. The repeater up-converts the second intermediate frequency signal to the output frequency based on the second frequency tone signal, and transmits the signal. | 10-21-2010 |

Here, the local oscillating frequency includes a local oscillating error that may be different in a plurality of repeaters. Accordingly, the repeater cancels the local oscillating frequency error itself in a frequency conversion so that transmitting frequencies between the plurality of repeaters may be identical. | 10-21-2010 |
