An improved modular masthead for use in cellular communications networks is described. The masthead unit includes a power amplifier, a duplexer and a local power supply that supplies the power amplifier. The power amplifier is arranged to amplify outgoing communication signals received from a base station. In a preferred embodiment, the masthead also includes a low noise amplifier for amplifying incoming communication signals and passing the amplified incoming communication signals to an associated base station. With this arrangement, the masthead forms a modular unit is distinct form the base station such that the modular masthead may be replaced independently of the base station. With this arrangement the range of a cell within a cellular network may be changed by simply swapping an existing masthead unit with a second masthead unit having a different power supply thereon and making software changes in the system. Thus, the range of the cell within the cellular network may be changed without changing any hardware in the base station.

L'invention concerne une unité tête de mât modulaire améliorée pour réseau de communication cellulaire, qui comprend un amplificateur de puissance, un duplexeur et une source d'énergie locale qui alimente l'amplificateur, lequel est conçu pour amplifier les signaux de communication sortants reçus d'une station de base. En mode de réalisation préféré, la tête de mât comprend aussi un amplificateur à faible bruit qui amplifie les signaux de communication entrants et qui transmet ces signaux amplifiés à une station de base associée. Dans cette configuration, la tête de mât forme une unité modulaire distincte de la station de base, permettant de remplacer ladite unité indépendamment de la station. Par ailleurs, il est possible de modifier la portée d'une cellule dans un réseau cellulaire, en remplaçant simplement une unité tête de mât existante par une seconde unité tête de mât ayant une alimentation différente, et en effectuant les changements de logiciels correspondants dans le système. Ainsi, la portée d'une cellule dans le réseau cellulaire est modifiable sans modification de matériel dans la station de base.
