2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

2.1 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

Figure 2: PS BDA Functional Block Diagram

In the downlink path, the BTS signals are received by the donor antenna of the repeater. After the circulator, the signals are sent to downlink filter and then the LNA module for pre-amplification and to the digital RF integrated module for digital filtering and frequency conversion. Then the DL signals will be sent to the downlink PA to amplify power, and filter via downlink filter, the circulator, and last, the signals are transmitted at the MT port to the service antenna.

In the uplink path, the mobile signals are received by the service antenna. After the circulator, the signals are sent to uplink filter, and then to LNA, digital integrated module for digital filtering, then to the PA for power amplification and to the uplink filter, the circulator, after that, the uplink signals are sent to the donor antenna for transmission back to the BTS.

2.3 EQUIPMENT CONSTITUTION

The typical PS BDA unit consists of the following components:

Downlink Power Amplifier (DPA): It provides power amplification for DL branches. Uplink Power Amplifier (UPA): It provides power amplification for UL branches. Main Control Unit (MCU): The MCU is used to monitor and control the operation of the repeater. It also

provides the communication interface for remote control and status indication. LED indicators provide the operation status of the MCU.

Downlink Filter: The filter is used to restrain the uplink signals to achieve a better isolation between downlink path and uplink path, to make sure the device can work in a normal duplex mode.

Uplink Filter: The filter is used to restrain the downlink signals to achieve a better isolation between downlink path and uplink path, to make sure the device can work in a normal duplex mode.

Digital Integrated Module: Consists of RF module, digital process module and monitoring modules. The RF module amplifies and converts the RF signal to IF signal. The Digital process module converts the IF signal into baseband signal via AD conversion and extraction, and filtering. After that, the IF signal will be amplified and converted to an RF signal by the RF module for RF filtering and amplification. The Monitoring module monitors and controls the system parameters and it is the interface for both remote monitoring and local commissioning, and at the same time control the charge and discharge of the backup battery.

Power Supply Unit (PSU): The PSU converts the input voltage into a stable DC supply to provide power for the internal functional modules.

3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

3.2.1 SITE PLANNING

Site Considerations

Outdoor equipment are designed to be waterproof, rainproof, and with snow protection. Temporary protection should be taken when the equipment enclosure is opened for installation or maintenance in an outdoor environment. The equipment must not be opened for installation or maintenance in bad weather (e.g. gale, storm rainfall, extreme temperatures and high humidity)

Installation Location

Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment. In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize

interference from electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.

Environmental

Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the equipment in locations having stable temperature and unrestricted air-flow.

The installation location for the product should be well ventilated. The equipment has been designed to operate at the temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications in the datasheet.

Direct sun light exposure to the equipment should be avoided. Provide additional shelter if necessary.

Power Supply

The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the product variant, it is recommended that the PSU be operated on a dedicated circuit breaker or fused circuit.

Grounding Requirement

Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes antennas and all cables connected to the system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded.

3.2.2 INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

 Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement. Ensure

unrestricted airflow.

 Ensure earth ground point is within reach of the ground wire.  Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient capacity.  Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.  Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic

interference.

 Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.  Ensure VSWR of antennas system < 1.5:1.  Ensure equipment will be operated within the stated environment (see datasheet)  Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage. Donor antenna should have a narrow beamwidth and

positioned in line-of-sight (LOS) to the donor BTS site so that the donor signal level is maximized. This allows the use of minimum gain to achieve the maximum DL output power. The UL gain is typically set lower than or equal to the DL gain to minimize noise interference to the donor BTS

 Service antennas should be selected based on the type of service area, e.g., indoor antenna for indoor

application, and panel antenna for outdoor application.

3.4.3 GROUNDING CONNECTION

Ground Connection

To ensure safe operation of the product, a ground (earth) connection is required. For single phase AC power

source, the product must be grounded by connecting the “earth wire” of the power cord to the ground terminal

of the AC supply. For operating this product with DC power system (such as rectifiers), the product should not be connected to power systems that switch open the return lead because the return lead could function as the ground (earth) connection for the equipment.

Protective Ground Connection

The enclosure must be grounded securely by connecting a copper wire (CSA 16mm2) to the grounding terminal on the equipment/rack, and the other end to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point). An internationally acceptable color code of the ground connection wire is green/yellow.

Such a ground connection implements the “Protective Ground Connection”, and must be connected to the

equipment at the designated ground point. In general, do not connect the supply before establishing an adequate ground (earth) connection.

Construct the ground wire, and use appropriate crimp connectors where necessary. Locate and connect the equipment grounding terminal to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point).

3.4.4 RF CABLE CONNECTION

Single band PS BDA RF cables connection is as follows:

 PS BDA MT port  Connects to the feeder cable from service antennas.  PS BDA DT port  Connects to the feeder cable from donor antennas.

3.4.5 ETHERNET CONNECTION

Connect Ethernet with ‘LAN’ port in the panel, Ethernet type only.

6 MAINTENANCE

The PS BDA is designed for trouble-free operation and generally does not need maintenance. Maintenance activities should only be carried out by trained personnel.

Periodic inspection of the repeater equipment(s) is recommended, the recommended tasks includes:

 Verify the direction and position of antennas. Re-align if necessary.  Make sure the cable connector and sealing on the RF cable connectors are not damaged.  Verify lightning and grounding protection is in good condition.

7 APPENDICES

7.1 APPENDIX A:

Antenna installation:

Installation of an antenna must comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. The antenna used for this transmitter must be mounted on permanent structures.

The FCC regulations mandate that the ERP of type B signal boosters should not exceed 5W, this is equivalent to 8.2W EIRP (39.1dBm).

Therefore the max antenna gain allowed for this type of signal booster should be limited to the values given by equation 1 (below) for the service antenna.

For example:

Compliance with FCC deployment rule regarding the radiation of noise

Good engineering practice must be used in regard to the signal booster’s noise radiation. Thus, the gain of the

signal booster should be set so that the ERP of the output noise from PS BDA should not exceed the level of

-43 dBm in 10 kHz measurement bandwidth. In the event that the noise level measured exceeds the aforementioned value, the PS BDA gain should be

decreased accordingly. In general, the ERP of noise on a spectrum more than 1 MHz outside of the pass band should not exceed -70

dBm in a 10 kHz measurement bandwidth. RX-4122 PS BDA has a noise level of -21 dBm in 100 kHz (equals to -31dBm in 10kHz) measurement at 1 MHz

spectrum outside the pass band of BDA and an in-band noise level at around -50 dBm in a 10 kHz bandwidth. Therefore, the noise at the antenna input port should be calculated based on equation (2).

For example: in band noise RX-4122 PS BDA connected to 10 service antennas with a 100m long ½ inch cable.

Losses of such a cable with the connectors = ~ 12dB Assuming 10 service antennas: antenna splitter losses = 11 dB Based on equation (2) Input antenna noise (to the antenna) = – 51 – 12 – 0 –11=-74 dBm ERP

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-4122

ENU STATUS : 1-0-1

Page 50

The in-band input noise to the antenna should be – 51 – 12 – 0 – 11= -63dBm ERP For example: Out of band noise

RX-4122 PS BDA connected to 10 service antennas with a 100m long ½ inch cable. Losses of such a cable with the connectors = ~ 12dB Assuming 10 service antennas: antenna splitter losses = 11 dB Out of band rejection of filters: more than 45dBc Based on equation (3) Input antenna noise (to the antenna) = – 31 –12 – 45 – 11= – 99dBm ERP The Out of-band input noise to the antenna should be – 31 –12 – 45 – 11= – 99dBm ERP

Conclusion:

Good engineering practice requires that in general when the out of band noise measured at the service antenna input is more than -70 dBm per 10 kHz measurement bandwidth, an external band pass filter should be added to attenuate the out of band noise level.

All Comba BDAs include high selectivity duplexers and filters to attenuate the out of band noise.

Compliance with FCC Part 90.219 (d)(6)(i)

The deployment rules require that the ERP of intermodulation products should in general not exceed -30dbm. This is not a formidable task since in the vast majority of the passive DAS installations; the signal loss in the DAS due to splitting to multiple antenna and cable losses is significant.

As well as the above RX-4122 PS BDA is more likely to be used in a multicarrier environment (more than 2 carriers), which in turn will reduce the intermodulation products produced by the device.

The following statement is already in the user manual to highlight the requirement to the installer for the instances where the above does not reduce the ERP of the intermodulation products to -30dBm.

‘The installation procedure must result in RX-4122 PS BDA complying with FCC requirements 90.219(d). In order to meet FCC requirements 90.219(d), it may be necessary for the installer to reduce the UL and/or DL output power for certain installations.’
