1.3 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS
DO NOT TRANSMIT with this base station and antenna when persons are within the MAXIMUM
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Radius of the antenna. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance
from the antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the
allowable MPE level set by the FCC.
Failure to observe these limits may allow all persons within the MPE radius to
experience RF radiation absorption, which exceeds the FCC maximum permissible
exposure (MPE) limit. It is the responsibility of the base station operator to ensure
that the maximum permissible exposure limits are observed at all times during
base station transmission. The base station licensee is to ensure that no bystanders
are within the radius limits.
1.4 DETERMINING MPE RADIUS
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE RADIUS is unique for each site and is determined
during site licensing time based on the complete installation environment (i.e. co-location, antenna type,
transmit power level, etc.). Determination of the MPE distance is the responsibility of the installation
licensee. Calculation of the MPE radius is required as part of the site licensing procedure with the FCC.
1.5 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your MASTR®V base station generates RF electromagnetic energy during
transmit mode. This base station is designed for and classified as “occupational
use only” meaning it must be used only in the course of employment by individuals
aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This base station is
not intended for use by the “general population” in an uncontrolled environment.
It is the responsibility of the base station licensee to ensure that the maximum
permissible exposure limits determined in the previous section are observed at all
times during transmission. The base station licensee is to ensure that no
bystanders come within the radius of the maximum permissible exposure limits.
When licensed by the FCC, this base station complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are
beyond the MPE radius of the antenna. In addition, your Harris base station installation complies with the

3 INTRODUCTION
The MASTR V Base Station is a P25 Phase I capable transceiver. The station is fully upgradable to P25
Phase II. The MASTR V Base Station is a digital, IP based, LMR communications base station operating
within a compact shelf design. It supports IP-based remote code uploads and configuration. IP-based
programming may be accomplished using the Device Manager programming tool. A built-In Self Test
(BIST) feature provides improved performance through remote diagnosis which minimizes down time.
The MASTR V Base Station uses a 14-slot modular multi-channel T/R shelf assembly (refer to
Figure 3-1) and a 2-slot High Power Amplifier/Power Supply (HPA/PS) shelf assembly. Modules may
include BaseBand Processors, Traffic Controllers, TX, and RX modules. Blank panels for the main
module slots (MA-555413) and for the E-Switch slots (MA-555417) are installed in unused slots.
The TX module uses a factory programmable IQ modulator circuit capable of generating most any LMR
modulation format into a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) TX exciter circuit. Additionally, the HPA may
be equipped with a Linearizer module for improved amplitude and phase noise characteristics in S-C4FM
or similar modulation modes.
The RX module includes integrated front end and IF circuitry. The RX module also uses IQ
demodulation circuitry. The IQ demodulator is factory programmable and can decode most any
amplitude and phase modulation characteristic, making it capable of receiving most any analog or digital
LMR modulation format.
The Multi-channel T/R shelf requires +12 VDC and +5 VDC. The HPA requires +28 VDC. The station
may be equipped with a 120/240 VAC switching power supply. The T/R Shelf occupies 5-RU spaces.
The HPA/PS shelf occupies 2-RU spaces (per TX channel).

4 MASTR V BASE STATION OVERVIEW
4.1 MULTI-CHANNEL BASE STATION SHELF ASSEMBLY
The MASTR V multi-channel base station shelf assembly is a unified subrack design providing 14
identical vertical module slots. Also included are two (2) horizontal slots located under the 14 vertical
slots, and used to connect the built-in main and redundant Ethernet Switch modules.
A backplane assembly (refer to Figure 4-2) provides data and DC power connections to each vertical slot,
and the two Ethernet Switch module slots. The multi-channel base station shelf, and each module, is
equipped with a pull handle for improved handling of the equipment.
When equipped for multiple channel 700/800 MHz operation, the 14-slots may be populated as shown in
Figure 4-1 with the modules listed in Table 4-1. The VHF and UHF receiver modules require two (2)
shelf slots; therefore, module assignment varies slightly (refer to Table 4-2). Other module combinations
and slot assignments are possible depending on the specific LMR application and system requirements.
Table 4-1: Typical Module Slot Assignments for 700/800 MHz MASTR V Base Stations
The MASTR V Multi-channel Base Station shelf model EA-555002-001 (refer to Figure 4-2) is a 14-slot,
5-RU, shelf assembly. The shelf provides a modular environment supporting most any combination of
MASTR V modules.
Assembled to the rear of the shelf is a unified backplane assembly. The backplane interfaces all data,
frequency reference, and DC power connections from the 14 module slots, to the two (2) horizontally
positioned Ethernet switch modules.
Two (2) connector assemblies are provided for each module slot, a 3-pin connector for DC power (J101
through J114), and a 95-pin connector for data/small signals (J1 through J14). The DC power connector
pinout is provided in Table 4-3. Each E-Switch module slot uses a 120-pin signal connector (40 balanced
signal pairs, each with an individual shield) for optimal signal performance. Additionally, two (2) guide
pins are used in each module slot, one at each end of every connector row. The guide pins properly align
the module with the backplane connectors as they slide together.
4.1.1.1 DC Power Input Connections
The backplane’s DC power distribution may be configured to use one or both DC power input
connections, J30 and J31. DC power input to slots 1 through 7 is primarily connected to J30. DC power
input to slots 8 through 14 is primarily connected to J31. Removing the two fuses (F1 and F2) from the
backplane allows independent DC operation of slots 1 through 7, and slots 8 through 14. This
configuration is commonly used for one or more of the following reasons:
• To minimize channel failure (multi-channel configurations) in the event one of the supporting power
supplies fail, or a module failure unexpectedly loads the DC input.
• To distribute current loading between power supply modules.
Alternately, if the combined current drain of each module installed in the shelf does not exceed the power
supply’s maximum current ratings, then the backplane may be configured for a common DC input.
Installing 30 amp fuses into fuse locations F1 and F2 will parallel the +5 VDC and +12 VDC input
connections. This configuration allows either J30 or J31 to act as a common DC power source for slots 1
through 14.
14
It is important to understand that when F1 and F2 are installed, DC input connectors J30 and J31 are not
isolated; therefore, connecting DC power sources to each connector simultaneously is not recommended
in this configuration. Also, fuses F1 and F2 are not used as safety devices, but rather as high current (low
resistance) jumpers.

4.3.3 Receiver Module (RX)
The MASTR V Receiver (RX) modules, model EA-555007, are dual-IF conversion receivers. The RX
modules are currently available in the 700/800 dual band, model EA-555007-011, with planned releases
for VHF and UHF model band splits.
The receiver uses a Sigma-Delta analog to digital converter to process the incoming IF signal. The output
of the analog-to-digital converter is a complex pair of I/Q baseband digital signals. The MASTR V RX
module supports a wide range of modulation waveforms required for current and next generation public
safety two-way radio communications.
After IF filtering and down-conversion, received signals are digitized into I and Q information and sent to
the Baseband Processor module via the backplane Ethernet. The Baseband Processor module provides
the narrow channel filtering and demodulation. The narrow channel filters and digital demodulation is
performed by the system DSP, giving the MASTR V receiver the flexibility needed in current and future
LMR communications systems.
All bands of MASTR V RX modules share common design features and meet stringent receiver
specifications including the following:
• High intercept point.
• Low noise figure.
• 110.2 MHz IF chosen for all bands of the MASTR V.
• Automatic Level Control.
• Built-in 10 MHz reference; switchable to external reference derived from the baseband module
(which is compatible with an external frequency standard used for Simulcast).
19
Page 20
MM-015039-001, Rev. A
• Low side LO injection for superior noise performance (700/800 MHz module).
• Raw IQ data is sent to the BaseBand Processor module for demodulation.

4.3.4 Baseband Processor Module (BBP)
The Baseband Processor (BBP) module model EA-555005-001 provides several functions within the
MASTR V P25 Base Station:
• Generates all RX, TX, and Control Processing for one or more RF channels.
• Provides a data interface between the Traffic Controller the TX and RX modules.
• Interface between the Simulcast T1 multiplexer and the base station.
• Generates a heartbeat message used to monitor the health of the base station modules.
• Performs resynchronization of transmitted data packets.
When a MASTR V Base Station is powered up, the TX, RX, and HPA modules will perform a discovery
period where they await a software request message from the BBP module assigned to manage that slot.
When the message is received, the module will respond with a software response message that prompts
the BBP to send the modules a personality message.
The personality message will contain all personality data (default initialization parameters). The modules
respond with an acknowledgement for the personality message, and then initialize themselves according
to the personality data in the personality message. The BBP module sends the modules a message to go
operational. Once operational, the discovery and initialization phase is complete. The BBP module
periodically monitors the modules through heartbeat messages.
4.3.4.1 Base Station TX Interface and Control
The BBP module performs a vital role during all modes of operation, especially during P25 Simulcast TX
site’s transmit operations. During P25 simulcast, the BBP module receives the transmit packet timing and
re-synchronization data from the Control Point via the MUX. This information, along with the voice
packets routed through the Ethernet Switch’s MLAN connection, is reunited to form the P25 transmitter
messages. Final synchronization of the P25 transmitter packets, relative to the required system/site
timing, is performed and the data is sent to the TX module(s). The BBP module manages only the control
operations for the TX modules. Inbound receiver communications from mobile and portables is
processed in the associated channel’s Traffic Controller and sent to the Control Point via the MLAN
connection to the Cisco
®
switch.
4.3.4.2 Heartbeat Messaging
Heartbeat messaging is used to monitor the condition of the TX, RX, and HPA modules. Once
operational, the BBP module sends out heartbeat messages to each module. When a heartbeat message is
received by a module, the receiving module then sends a heartbeat message back to the BBP module.
21
Page 22
MM-015039-001, Rev. A
The heartbeat monitor task keeps track of the time-stamps of the received heartbeat messages. A fault is
registered if a heartbeat message is not received within a predetermined time-frame. The heartbeat
monitor also keeps track of certain fault conditions.
4.3.4.3 Resynchronization
During P25 Simulcast operation, the MASTR V BBP module performs timing and resynchronization of
data packets sent to the TX module. A predetermined time delay is applied to the packets relative to a
precision world time clock signal provided by an external, highly stable, GPS based time clock. A GPS
receiver is installed at each Simulcast TX Site and Control Point to provide the best possible
synchronization between all TX sites.

4.3.5 Traffic Controller Module (TC)
The Traffic Controller (TC) module model EA-555004-001 performs interfacing for one (1) MASTR V
P25 RF channel. The TC module provides the following services:
• Data and control information for one (1) TX module.
• Data and control information for one (1) RX module.
• Generates the P25-formatted TX messages for over-the-air transmission.
23
Page 24
MM-015039-001, Rev. A
• Provides VoIP interfacing to other P25 sites.
The TC module manages data and control information for one (1) TX and one (1) RX channel module.
Incoming data from dispatch points is processed into over-the-air P25-formatted TX messages. The TC
module processes decoded radio information received from the BBP module, and handles all aspects of
trunking (subscriber unit validation, assigned channels, queuing, etc.).
During P25 operation, the TC module interprets and directs inbound calls. It issues appropriate control
commands to and from the TX and RX modules, including how to handle data between the base station
and the Control Point.
The TC module also handles VoIP interfacing to other P25 sites. Receiver packets are formatted into a
VoIP-capable protocol and sent to other predefined P25 sites for retransmission.

4.3.6 High Power RF Power Amplifier Module (HPA)
The RF High Power Amplifier (HPA) assembly EA-555014 (shown in Figure 4-9), amplifies the exciter
output to the rated station output power level. This module contains a power module, amplifier drivers
and power control circuitry required for power amplification. It is currently available in the land mobile
radio 800 MHz band.
The Power Amplifier assembly is a continuous duty, solid state, wide-band RF power amplifier. Its main
function is to amplify the 0 dBm signal from the TX module to the rated RF output at the antenna port.
The RF output of the Power Amplifier Assembly is typically 110 Watts for VHF (adjustable from 10 to
110 Watts), and 100 Watts for UHF, 700 and 800 MHz (adjustable from 10 to 100 Watts) as measured at
the PA output port.
The MASTR V HPA series EA-555014 is also equipped with a RF linearizer circuit to improve RF
performance. The RF linearizer samples the RF output of the HPA, and provides waveform correction to
the RF input signal relative to its RF output characteristics. This improves waveform distortion.

4.3.6.1 Power Supply Module (PS)
The MASTR V Power Supply (PS) module EA-555011-001 (refer to Figure 4-10) is a continuous duty
switching power supply. It operates from an input of 85 VAC to 265 VAC at 47 Hz to 63 Hz (1000 Watts
maximum). The PSU provides a maximum of 875 Watts total output power divided among the following
three (3) DC outputs:
• +28 VDC at 25 Amps.
• +12 VDC at 2.8 Amps.
• +5.0 VDC at 28 Amps.
The MASTR V PS includes front panel LED status indicators for each DC output, an AC Power input
LED, and a front panel ON/OFF switch used to disable the power supply and built-in cooling fan.
27
Page 28
MM-015039-001, Rev. A
Three (3) DC power output connections are provided; one (1) to provide DC current to the MASTR V
multi-channel shelf, another to provide DC current to the HPA module, and a spare DC connection.
The MASTR V PS is a negative ground power supply (the negative lead of each DC output is tied to
chassis ground). Over voltage, under voltage, and over current protection is built-into the AC input, and
each DC output. In the event one of the protection circuits is triggered, only the affected DC output is
shut down until the protection circuit is reset.

5 PROGRAMMING, TEST, AND DIAGNOSTICS
5.1 VIDA DEVICE MANAGER
Setup, configuration, and programming of a MASTR V P25 Trunked base station is accomplished
through the use of the VIDA Device Manager programming software tool. VIDA Device Manager is an
easy-to-use programming tool designed around a Windows-based file management system that permits
users to configure and manage devices within their system. The user can save/open personalities using
the Windows file system.
The user interface, known as the Device Management Console (DMC), allows users to configure and
manage IP-accessible devices in their MASTR V radio system. It allows users to edit device Personalities
and permits users to perform actions such as the following:
• Reset
• Read Version
• Load Code
• Read Personality
• Write Personality
The DMC stores device connection information and all personalities (by default) for the supported
devices within the radio system. The information stored includes device definitions, device plug-ins,
device Client plug-ins, device personalities, device code, device connections, and device details. The
Repository provides an interface to access, modify, and create the information.
5.2 TEST AND DIAGNOSTICS
The MASTR V base station has built-in self diagnostics and fault reporting. Station faults may be
remotely monitored via fault reporting from one or more of the following resources:
• Via the VIDA Network through the Regional Network Manager.
• By telnet session while connected locally to a MASTR V base station.
The TC module and BBP modules are capable of reporting fault information via the VIDA Network to
the Regional Network Manager (RNM). The RNM has the ability to “Poll” the status of certain
equipment, and “Trap” responses to log files. For more information regarding RNM polling and
trapping, refer to the Regional Network Manager User Manual: MM1000018633.
