RF signal boosters for high frequency cellular communications are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a signal booster system includes an outdoor base station antenna for communicating with base stations of a cellular network, and an indoor mobile station antenna for communicating with user equipment (UE) of the cellular network, such as mobile phones. The signal booster system further includes a signal booster that is coupled to the indoor mobile station antenna via a cable. The signal booster includes booster circuitry for providing amplification to RF signals associated with one or more uplink and downlink channels of the cellular network. The signal booster further includes a signal conversion circuit operable to provide signal conversion such that RF signals provided to and received from the indoor mobile station antenna via the cable are of lower frequency relative to RF signals provided to and received from the outdoor base station antenna.

Radio frequency signal boosters are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a signal booster system includes a signal booster that is proximately located to an outdoor base station antenna. Implementing the signal booster system in this manner can provide a number of advantages relative to a configuration in which the signal booster is far from a base station antenna. For example, a long cable connected from an indoor signal booster to an outdoor base station antenna can be several meters long, resulting in significant cable loss that degrades transmit power and/or receiver sensitivity.
