A multi-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmitting apparatus and method of using an analog optical repeater that relays a downstream signal and an upstream signal between a base station and a terminal is provided. A head end of the analog optical repeater converts a frequency of a signal through a frequency converter to prevent the signal from overlapping with other signals having the same frequencies of a downstream multi-band, and uses a band already used by an optical module, and thus does not need to secure an additional band in the optical module. Accordingly, signals at the same frequency input into the HE can be transmitted through the optical cable and to the RU without overlapping. A flow of upstream signals received from the terminal are handled and transmitted similarly to the downstream signals, but in the opposite direction, whereby multi-band MIMO is implemented.
