[pt] Este trabalho aborda a utilização de repetidores na implantação de sistemas móveis celulares. Esta técnica permite estender a cobertura dos sistemas móveis celulares com baixo custo e curto tempo de implantação a áreas ou ambientes onde a utilização de estações rádio base seria dispendiosa ou demorada.O impacto da inclusão deste elemento na interface rádio é detalhadamente analisada visando obter uma metodologia para o seu dimensionamento e para o cálculo das degradações produzidas na rede. É apresentada ainda uma metodologia completa para projetos com repetidores e descrita sua aplicação na implantação de um sistema GSM. / [en] This work deals with the use of active repeaters in the planning and deployment of cellular mobile systems. This technique allows the extension of the coverage of the cellular systems, with low cost and short building time, to areas where the use of radio base stations would be costly or difficult to implement.The impact of the inclusion of the active element in the radio interface is analyzed in full detail to provide methods for the calculation of the degradations produced in the network. A complete design methodology for projects with repeaters is also presented, as well as a case study for a GSM system.
