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 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
following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and
evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect

to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the

Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable
limits for occupational use, do not operate the base station in a manner that would create
an MPE distance in excess of that allowable by the FCC.

3 INTRODUCTION

The MASTR V Base Station is a P25 Phase 2 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 software uploads and configuration. IP-based
programming may be accomplished using the VIDA® Device Manager programming tool. Network and
programming communications ports may be configured for VIDA secure shell operation to meet
Information Assurance (IA) requirements. 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 circuitry capable of generating most any LMR modulation format. Additionally, the
HPA is equipped with a Linearizer module for improved amplitude and phase noise characteristics.

The RX module includes integrated front end and IF circuitry. The RX module also uses IQ demodulation
circuitry. The IQ demodulator can decode most amplitude and phase modulation characteristic, making it
capable of receiving most 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 or -48 VDC power supply. The T/R shelf
occupies 5-RU spaces. The HPA/PS shelf occupies 2-RU spaces (per TX channel).

4.4.2 Transmitter Module (TX)

The MASTR V TX module series EA-555008-xxx provides a highly stable 0 dBm RF output to drive the
High-Power Amplifier module. The MASTR V TX module uses a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DSS) which
optimizes the modulation characteristics of the TX module. DSS can digitally create a precision waveform
or modulation scheme from a single on-board oscillator. This capability makes the MASTR V TX module
one of the most versatile transmitter modules in the North American Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and
European Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) marketplace. Digitized I and Q information is sent from the
Baseband Processor module via the backplane Ethernet to the TX module.

MM-015039-001, Rev. L

24

All bands of MASTR V TX modules share common design features and meet stringent transmitter
specifications including the following:

• High output intercept point.

• 115.2 MHz 1st IF chosen for all bands of the MASTR V.

• Built-in hardware diagnostics (voltage supplies, PLL Lock).

• IQ data is sent from the Baseband Processor module for modulation.

4.4.3 Receiver Module (RX)

The MASTR V Receiver (RX) modules, model EA-555007-xxx, are dual-IF conversion receivers. 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.

• Low side LO injection for superior noise performance (700/800/900 MHz module).

• Built-in hardware diagnostics (voltage supplies, PLL Lock).

• Analog FM audio test jack (for factory use only).

• Raw IQ data is sent to the Baseband Processor module for demodulation.

4.4.4 Front End Preselector

Each VHF and UHF MASTR V receiver is equipped with an external RF Front End Preselector, model
EA-555018-xxx. The preselector (refer to Figure 4-7) for each receiver module is mounted to a frame
assembly located on the rear rack rails near each MASTR V shelf. The preselectors provide narrow
bandpass filtering to meet the channel spacing typically used in the VHF and UHF bands.

Figure 4-7: RF Front End Preselector

4.4.5 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.

• Generates a heartbeat message used to monitor the health of the base station modules.

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. The BBP module also performs other vital roles, especially during a P25 Simulcast.

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. 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.

4.4.6 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.

• Provides VoIP interfacing to other P25 sites.

MM-015039-001, Rev. L

30

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.

4.4.7 High Power RF Power Amplifier Module (HPA)

The RF High Power Amplifier (HPA) assembly EA-555014-xxx (shown in Figure 4-10), 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.

The Power Amplifier assembly is a continuous duty, solid state, wide-band RF power amplifier. Its main
function is to amplify the -1 dBm signal from the TX module to the rated RF output at the antenna port.
The RF output of the Power Amplifier Assembly is capable of up to 100 Watts (adjustable from 10 to
100 Watts) as measured at the PA output port.

The MASTR V HPA series EA-555014-xxx is also equipped with an 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.

4.4.7.1 Power Supply Module (PS)

The MASTR V AC Power Supply (PS) module EA-555011-001 (refer to Figure 4-11) and DC Power
Supply module EA-555001-003 (not shown) are continuous duty switching power supplies. The AC supply
operates from an input of 85 VAC to 265 VAC at 47 Hz to 63 Hz (1000 Watts maximum). The DC supply
operates from a -48VDC input and can operate from an input of -38 VDC to -57 VDC. Each PSU provides
a maximum of 865 Watts total output power divided among the following three (3) DC outputs:

• EA-555011-001 (AC PS)

• EA-555011-003 (DC PS)

o +28 VDC at 25 Amps

o +28 VDC at 25 Amps

o +12 VDC at 2.8 Amps

o +12 VDC at 5.0 Amps

o +5.0 VDC at 28 Amps

o +5.0 VDC at 15 Amps

Each MASTR V PS includes front panel LED status indicators for each DC output and power input. A
front panel ON/OFF switch used to disable the power supply and built-in cooling fan.

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.

4.4.8 AC and DC Power Distribution

AC powered sites use specially designed dual input AC power distribution strips, model DP-016706-001
(for 120VAC applications, shown in Figure 4-12) and DP-016706-002 (for 220VAC applications, not
shown). Each AC power strip has two (2) circuit protected high current inputs (110 VAC, 20 Amp and
220VAC, 15 Amp, respectively). Each high-power input is distributed to three (3) AC outlets for a total of
6 outlets per power strip. The housing around two outlets on each circuit are silk screened with red as an
indication of where to connect the high current MASTR V power supplies used at base station rack-ups.
The red only designates use, not rating.

Figure 4-12: Dual input 120VAC Power Distribution Strip

DC powered sites use DC Power Distribution Blocks, models EA-555019-001 (low power) and
EA-555019-002 (high power). Each DC Distribution Block is designed to distribute -48 VDC from two

(2) DC input circuits. Like the AC model, distribution across two circuits reduces the area on the rack’s

rear rails required to mount multiple power strips and distributes the load across multiple circuits which
minimizes the number of hardware devices which fail when circuit protections trips.

MM-015039-001, Rev. L

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-to­use 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.
