Well the main issue is that in order to do the current split there was a lot of 
coding to make sure that the RF didn’t cause any issues.  The setup you 
describe would likely break any of the internal algorithms and run pretty 
horribly.

Subject: [Telrad] splitters

 

We know we can put two sector antennas back to back.  What if we had 4 90 
degree sectors in an array and used a set of hybrid splitter/combiners to 
connect all 4 antennas to one compact?

 

Omni coverage without farting around with omnis.  To expand capacity you remove 
splitters and put in a second BTS. 

 

You would lose 3db from splitting, and probably another db to insertion loss 
and extra cable, but you can make that up on the Tx side by turning up the Tx 
power.  You'd be a little weaker on the Rx at the BTS and you couldn't fix 
that, but download is more important than upload so maybe I don't have to care.

 

Is this a bad idea for any other reasons?
