A passive system as you describe might work. Use a yagi outside pointed
at the tower, and run it to a gain antenna omni inside. Use GOOD coax,
at least 9913.
STAY AWAY from those active devices!!! For starters, they are illegal
unless you get permission from the carrier (not likely). Poor
construction and improper installation has caused oscillation, spurs,
and interference to other cell carriers, and worse, other radio
services, including public safety systems on 800 MHz.
