Abstract: An antenna monitoring module electrically coupled to an antenna, the antenna monitoring module including an embedded element in the antenna, test antenna configured to send and receive radio frequency (RF) test signals to and from the antenna, an input blocking module disposed at an input of the antenna monitoring module to facilitate receipt of a master test signal by the antenna monitoring module, an addressable mixed signal processor that determines an integrity of a connection to the antenna and a performance of the antenna based on measurements associated with the RF test signals and the master test signal.

Abstract: A system for remote monitoring a network of distributed antennas. The system including at least one antenna electrically coupled to a radio-frequency (RF) transmission line, and a monitoring module electrically coupled to the RF transmission line, the monitoring module configured to receive a direct-current (DC) coded signal via the RF transmission line and compare the DC coded signal to at least one code saved in a memory of the monitoring module to determine a status associated with the at least one antenna.
