BDA Installation and Operating Guide
1 Pre-installation Consideration
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OF THE UNIT WHEN IT IS IN OPERATION
WITHOUT PROPER PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHORITIES.
DANGEROUSLY HIGH VOLTAGES APPEAR WITHIN THE EQUIPMENT.
EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT FASTEN OR UNFASTEN THE COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR
ON THE BDA WITH UNDER THE UNIT POWERED EQUIPMENT.
EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK.
MAKE SURE THAT PO WER SUPPLIER IN BDA UNIT IS TURNED OFF PRIOR
TO CONNECTING THE COAXIAL CABLE TO THE CABLE ENTRY
CONNECTOR ON BDA ENCLOSURE.
Prepare the proper ground prior to installation of the BDA; the ground must be independent from
that for other equipment (Do not use common ground with others). The ground must be
connected with AWG 6 or AWG 8 multi-wired cable. The cord must not be parallel to other
electrical or RF cable. Do not apply the electric power without connecting output port of BDA to
Antenna or Dummy Load. The system will be stabilized in 5 minutes after power is switched on.
Before operation of the BDA, ensure that RF connectors and cables are not damaged and
properly connected.

BDA Installation and Operating Guide
1.1 Introduction
The mobile coverage extension solution is used to extend coverage to specific areas
within a building, multiple buildings, or subway. This coverage extension system solution
features useful combination that distributes wireless coverage over RF cable and
antennas, making the best choice for signal quality, flexibility, and overall performance.
The mobile coverage extension product family offers service providers a flexible, low
cost, easy installation to improve customer retention and offer enhanced services to
meet increasing subscriber demands.
1.2 Site Selection
Depending on RF environment and size of space, output power of the BDA and number
of antennas are decided for optimum service. For instance, an OMNI antenna (service)
is connected to a small BDA for a small room, two or three OMNI antennas are connected to a medium BDA, or several antennas are distributed in couple of floors of a
building if a large BDA is installed.
Recommendation to choose installation topology as below;
Figure 1 BDA Solution for in-building
z Less interference from other BTS Cells
z Easy access and maintenance of the equipment
z Avoiding direct sunlight to protect equipment
z Easy access to electrical power
z A shadow and cool environment

BDA Installation and Operating Guide
1.3 Antenna Installation
Recommendation to choose installation location as below;
z Use proper and reliable connectors.
z Ensure that connections of antenna and feeder cable is proper, so that
antenna VSWR is at least 1.38 : 1(equal to 16dB of return loss).
z Ensure that antenna radiation beam pattern is normal before antenna
installation. There are cases that antenna beam pattern is abnormal though
antenna input VSWR is normal and this problem cannot be recognized with an
Analyzing Equipment.
z Secure and water-tight connection between cable and antenna.
z Cables with low loss.
z Elimination of pulling stress or kinks in cable.
z Proper radius of curvature in cable placement.
z Secure proper isolation between link antenna and service antenna.
z There must not be any obstacles to reflect signal from the direction that
antenna is radiating signal.
z Tightly fix link antenna to prevent movement against wind or other external
factors.
z For more information regarding detailed specifications and installation of
antenna, contact the antenna supplier.

1.4 Electrical Power
z Power source must be stable and maintain enough capacity. It must also be
protected against surge and lightning.
100Vac
z A AWG 6 or AWG 8 multi-wired cord must be used for grounding. The cable for
grounding must not be placed paralleled to other cables.
1.5 Initial Check
z Unpacking
Prior to unpacking, check the containers for damage. If any damage or
mis-handling is evident, request that the carriers be present to witness the
unpacking and further inspection.
Carefully open the containers, remove the top layer of shock absorbing
material, and lift the equipment out of its container.
z Mechanical Inspection
Check the equipment for damage. Inspect the housing and panel surfaces
for scratches and dents. Check that all external fasteners are securely in place
and that no obvious attempt has been made to remove any of these.
z Damage
If the equipment is damaged or fails to meet specifications upon receipt,
notify MTI Co., Ltd. immediately.
z Storage
The equipment should be placed in its original container for storage, and
should be stored in a cool, clean and dry environment.
