General Safety
Ground the
Equipment
Electro-Static
Discharge
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be
connected to an electrical earth ground. The power cable must be either
plugged into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a threecontact to two-contact adapter. The three-contact to two-contact adapter must
have the grounding wire (green) firmly connected to an electrical ground
(safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the
power cable must meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
safety standards.
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an anti-static wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading the system. Electronic
components, such as disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules, can
be extremely sensitive to Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). After removing the
component from the system or its protective wrapper, place the component
flat on a grounded, static-free surface, and in the case of a board, componentside up. Do not slide the component over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, always wear an anti-static wrist strap that is
attached to an unpainted metal part of the system chassis. This will greatly
reduce the potential for ESD damage.

QUAD Channel 900
MHz Base Radio
Theory of Operation
The QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR operates with other site controllers and
equipment and must be properly terminated. The following description
assumes such a configuration. Figure 1-10 show an overall block diagram of
the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR.
Power is applied to the DC Power inputs located on the QUAD Channel 900
MHz BR backplane. The DC Power input is connected if -48 VDC or
batteries are used in the site.
Power is applied to the BR by setting the Power Supply power switch to the
ON position. Upon power-up, the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR performs
self-diagnostic tests to ensure the integrity of the unit. These tests, which
include memory and Ethernet verification routines, primarily examine the EX
/ CNTL.
After completing self-diagnostic tests, the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR
reports alarm conditions on any of its modules to the site controller via
Ethernet. Alarm conditions may also be verified locally. Local verification
involves using the service computer and the STA TUS port located on the front
of the QUAD Channel 900 MHz EX / CNTL.
The software resident in FLASH on the EX / CNTL registers the BR with the
site controller via Ethernet. After BR registration on initial power-up, the BR
software downloads via resident FLASH or Ethernet and executes from
RAM. The download includes operating parameters for the QUAD Channel
900 MHz BR. These parameters allow the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR to
perform call processing functions.
Enhanced Base Transceiver System (EBTS)
1-1868P80801E35-E16-June-06
Volume 2Base Radio
QUAD Channel 900 MHz Base Radio Overview
After software downloads to the BR via Ethernet, FLASH memory stores the
software object. Upon future power-ups, the software object in FLASH loads
into RAM for execution.
The BR operates in a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) mode. This
mode, combined with voice compression techniques, increases channel
capacity by a ratio of as much as six to one. TDMA divides both the receive
and transmit signals of the BR into six individual time slots. Each receive slot
has a corresponding transmit slot. This pair of slots comprises a logical RF
channel.
The BR uses diversity reception for increased coverage area and improved
quality. The Receiver modules within the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR
contain three receiver paths. Two-branch diversity sites use two Receiver
paths, and three-branch diversity sites use three Receiver paths.
All Receiver paths within a given Receiver module are programmed to the
same receive frequency. Signals from each receiver arrive at the EX / CNTL
module. This module performs a diversity combining algorithm on the
signals. The resultant signal undergoes an error-correction process. Then, via
Ethernet, the site controller acquires the signal, along with control information about signal destination.
Two separate FRUs comprise the transmit section of the QUAD Channel 900
MHz BR. These are the Exciter portion of the EX / CNTL and the Power
Amplifier (PA). The Exciter processes commands from the CNTL, assuring
transmission in the proper modulation format. Then the low-level signal
enters the PA. The PA amplifies this signal to the desired output power level.
The PA is a continuously keyed linear amplifier. A power control routine
monitors the output power of the BR. The routine adjusts the power as
necessary to maintain the proper output level.

Controller Overview
Figure 2-6900 MHz QUAD Channel Base Radio Controller, version DLN1203 (with cover
removed)
The Base Radio Controller (BRC) provides signal processing and operational
control for Base Radio modules. The BRC module consists of a printed circuit
board, a slide-in housing, and associated hardware.
The BRC memory contains the operating software and codeplug. The
software defines BR operating parameters, such as output power and
operating frequency.
The BRC connects to the Base Radio backplane with one 168-pin FutureBus+
connector and one blindmate RF connector. Two Torx screws secure the BRC
in the Base Radio chassis.
Figure 2-6 shows a top view of the EX/CNTL (model CLF1560) with the
cover removed.

The BRC monitors the functions of other Base Radio modules. The LEDs on
the front panel indicate the status of BRC-monitored modules. All LEDs on
the BRC front panel normally flash three times upon initial power-up. A
RESET switch allows a manual reset of the Base Radio. Figure 2-7 shows the
front panel of the BRC.
