The radar sensor 122 can be integrated with the remote antenna unit 104, which could include, for example, mounting the radar sensor 122 inside the housing of the remote antenna unit 104. In other examples, the radar sensor 122 is mounted near the remote antenna unit 104 but not within the same housing. It should be understood that the DAS 100 can include a subset of remote antenna units 104 with an integrated radar sensor 122 and another subset of remote antenna units 104 where the radar sensor 122 is mounted near the respective remote antenna unit 104. The radar sensors 122 can be powered internally or externally by the remote antenna units 104 or another source of power.
