Power distribution modules are configured to distribute power to a power-consuming component(s), such as a remote antenna unit(s) (RAU(s)). By hot connection and/or disconnection, the power distribution modules can be connected and/or disconnected from a power unit and/or a power-consuming component(s) while power is being provided to the power distribution modules. Power is not required to be disabled in the power unit before connection and/or disconnection of power distribution modules. The power distribution modules may be configured to protect against or reduce electrical arcing or electrical contact erosion that may otherwise result from hot connection and/or connection of the power distribution modules.

An optical transmitter includes: an amplitude control circuit, an E/O (Electrical-to-Optical) circuit, a detector and an optical power control circuit. The amplitude control circuit controls an amplitude of an input electric signal to generate a constant amplitude electric signal. The E/O circuit generates a modulated optical signal from the constant amplitude electric signal by a direct modulation. The detector detects an amplitude modulation component of the input electric signal. The optical power control circuit controls a power of the modulated optical signal based on the amplitude modulation component detected by the detector.

A multi-channel radio frequency transceiving device includes an optical module, a digital signal processing module, a radio frequency transceiving module, a downlink module, and a microprocessing module. The optical module receives an optical signal corresponding to baseband data, converts the optical signal into an electric signal, and outputs the electric signal to the digital signal processing module. The digital signal processing module obtains the baseband data and channel number information on the basis of the electric signal, and allocates and processes the baseband data. The microprocessing module determines the number of working channels of the radio frequency transceiving module, the corresponding number of working channels of the downlink module and a downlink output power on the basis of the channel number information and the baseband data, and closes the remaining channels in the downlink module.
