NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the li mits for a Class A digi tal
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the manufacturer responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment

US PCS 1900 RF repeater is an analog RF repeater, which improves PCS network.
US PCS 1900 RF repeater receives RF signal from BTS and transmits it to the blanked and
shadowed area, thus providing and improving voice and image data services. US PCS 1900 RF
repeater’s goal is to support BTS’s functions proportionately.
US PCS 1900 RF repeater communicates with BTS wirelessly, thus saving additional costs for its
maintenance.
US PCS 1900 RF repeater consists of PA (Downlink, Uplink), IF, LNA (Downli nk, Uplink), I/O &
Control divisions, which are supplied with Alarm LED, thus providing quick and easy
maintenance and troubleshooting of the repeater.
This manual describes in general structure of US PCS1900 repeater, its application, maintenance
and troubleshooting, installation and operation etc.
Abbreviation
PA: Power Amplifier
IF: Intermediate Frequency
LNA: Low Noise Amplifier
I/O: Input/Output
Ethernet Instruction “ This equipment is indoor use and all the communication wirings
are limited to inside of the building” or similar texts.
Replaceable batteries instruction
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECTIVE TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
US PCS 1900 repeater decreases blanked and shadowed areas and extends cell coverage by retransmitting signal. The signal is received from BTS via Antenna directly, thus excluding
additional expenses for signal transmission (like cabling). Service organization of CDMA Inbuilding RF repeater is shown at the picture below. Donor Antenna is directed to BTS, and being
divided at Service Antennas are installed in the building and parking place. Pass Loss should be
taken into consideration while dividing and cabling.
FWD and RVS Gain Budgets have similar structure. In case of Uplink Path, RF signal is
transmitted from Service Antenna to Service Cavity Filter and RVS LNA division, then the signal
is transferred to IF division, where desirable Band is selected by passing 6 Paths of RF Switch
and SAW filter. Selected Band is got together in FWD LNA division, and then transmitted to
Donor Antenna passing through Digital ATT (10dB ATT Range) and Donor Cavity Filter. Then the
signal is transmitted to BTS through Donor Antenna.

2.2.3 Downlink Path
Downlink Path is organized in reverse order of Uplink Path.
In case of Downlink Path, RF signal is transmitted from Donor Antenna to Donor Cavity Filter
and FWD LNA division, then the signal is transferred to IF division, where desirable Band is
selected by passing 6 Paths of RF Switch and SAW f ilter. Attenuation range is 40dB in Digital
Attenuator. Selected Band is transmitted to FWD Drive Am and Service Cavity Filter, after that
the signal is transferred to Service Antenna.
