Abstract
A repeater is disclosed which is usable to permit a satellite phone, normally requiring a direct line of sight link to an orbiting satellite, to communicate with the satellite when the satellite phone is otherwise obstructed from communicating with the satellite. The repeater is usable in any situation in which the satellite phone is blocked from a direct line of site to the satellite, such as inside a building, aircraft, or natural formation (e.g., cave).
