ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Safety

. Safety

Any personnel involved in installation, operation or service of Allgon

repeaters must understand and obey the following:

• Allgon repeaters are designed to receive and amplify signals from one or

more base stations and retransmit the signals to one or more mobile stations. Also, the repeaters are designed to receive signals from one or more mobile stations, amplify and retransmit to the base stations. The repeaters must be used exclusively for these purposes and nothing else.

• Repeaters supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded

outlets and in conformity with any local regulations.

• The power supply unit contains dangerous voltage that can cause

electric shock. Disconnect the mains prior to any work in the repeater. Any local regulations are to be followed when servicing repeaters.

Authorized service personnel only are allowed to service repeaters while the mains is connected.

BERYLLIUM OXIDE

HYDROGEN FLUORIDE

• The repeater cover must be secured in opened position, e.g. by tying it

up, at outdoor repeater work. Otherwise, the cover can be closed by the wind and cause your fingers getting pinched or your head being hit.

• When working on a repeater on high ground, e.g. on a mast or pole, be

careful not to drop parts or the entire repeater. Falling parts can cause serious personal injury.

• Any repeater, including this repeater, will generate radio signals and

thereby give rise to electromagnetic fields that may be hazardous to the health of any person who is extensively exposed to the signals at the immediate proximity of the repeater and the repeater antennas.

• Repeaters equipped with an optional remote communication control

unit (RCC) have a dummy load in the directional coupler (DCC) that contains beryllium oxide (BeO). Beryllium oxide is poisonous if present as dust or smoke which can be inhaled. Do not file, grind, machine, or treat this part with acid.

• The coaxial cable insulation is made of PTFE, polytetrafluoro ethylene,

that gives off small amounts of hydrogen fluoride when heated. Hydrogen fluoride is poisonous. Do not use heating tools when stripping off coaxial cable insulation.

No particular measures are to be taken in case of fire because the emitted concentration of hydrogen fluoride is very low.

• A lithium battery is permanently mounted on the repeater board. Due

to the risk of explosion, this battery must only be removed from the board by an Allgon authorized service technician.

VD203 67/EN - User’s Manual Rev. 1A 2000-07 1 - 1

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Safety

Static Electric ity

Static electricity means no risk of personal injury but it can severely

damage essential parts of the repeater, if not handled carefully.

Parts on the printed circuit board as well as other parts in the repeater are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.

Never touch the printed circuit board or uninsulated conductor surfaces unless absolutely necessary.

If you must handle the printed circuit board or uninsulated conductor surfaces, use ESD protective equipment, or first touch the repeater chassis with your hand and then do not move your feet on the floor.

Never let your clothes touch printed circuit boards or uninsulated conductor surfaces.

Always store printed circuit boards in ESD-safe bags.

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Introduction

. Introduction

Figure 2-1. Allgon ALR Compact Repeater

Allgon repeaters are used to fill out uncovered areas in cellular mobile systems, such as base station fringe areas, road tunnels, business and industrial buildings, etc.

A repeater receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the signals to mobile stations. Also it receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both directions are served simultaneously.

To be able to receive and transmit signals in both directions, the repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area to be covered.

Control of the repeaters is performed using a desktop or notebook loaded with the Allgon OMT32, Operation and Maintenance Terminal, which can communicate with the repeaters, either locally or remotely via modem. Remote operation can be performed either via a traditional telephone line or via a mobile phone that can be installed inside the repeater.

To be able to control many Allgon AR repeaters in common, there is an Allgon OMS, Operation and Maintenance System.

The compact repeater is described in this manual. OMT32 is described in the AR Repeaters and OMT32, User’s Manual. OMS is described in the

Advanced Repeater OMS, User’s Manual.

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Introduction

Repeater Type

The following repeater type is currently available:

• Band selective repeater with adjustable bandwidth

Band selective repeater with adjustable bandwidth

The band selective compact repeater has filters that can be set to various bandwidths. This repeater type is used for analog or digital systems, such as NMT, GSM, TACS/ETACS, AMPS, DAMPS and CDMA.

VD203 67/EN - User’s Manual Rev. 1A 2000-07 2 - 2

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Introduction

Using Repeaters

In areas where the radio signal propagation is poor repeaters can be used to fill out those areas which are not covered by the base station.

The following scenarios are examples on this:

– Sports arenas – Fair halls – Large shopping centres – Road and railway tunnels – Indoors in buildings with metal or concrete walls

Other examples where repeaters can be used to increase the coverage are:

– Shaded areas – Fringe coverage areas

In areas where the traffic intensity is low, it is not cost efficient to install a base station. An Allgon repeater, which can be installed with a minimum of investments, is a much better solution. You save installation costs as well as operational costs.

Examples of using repeaters

Two examples are described in the following sections. An outdoor example in a shaded valley and an indoor example in a sports arena.

VD203 67/EN - User’s Manual Rev. 1A 2000-07 2 - 3

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Introduction

Shaded Area

A valley is shaded by hills. There is a base station 5 kilometers away, but

the lowest signal strength in the valley is less than –100dBm. A mast used for other purposes is available for a repeater installation. The mast height is 42 meter and it is located on a hill. The scenario is illustrated in Figure 2-2.

Donor antenna

Service antenna

Figure 2-2. Repeater coverage of shaded area

The donor antenna of the repeater was mounted at the top of the mast and the service antenna was mounted at the half mast. The antenna isolation was measured to over 100dB. The repeater was set to 70dB gain.

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Introduction

Sports Arena

A 2000 spectators sports arena with metallic roof had an indoor signal

strength too low to provide a fair service in most parts of the arena. The nearest base station was 8 kilometers away and it was equipped with one carrier only.

A donor antenna directed towards the base station was mounted on a mast outside the building and a repeater was installed inside the building with the service antenna on the arch vault. The scenario is illustrated in Figure 2-3.

Donor antenna

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Installation

. Installation

Before installation, read carefully Chapter 1, Safety.

Siting the Repeater

Allgon repeaters are designed for outdoor usage. However, humidity and

temperature changes may have affect on the reliability. A preferable site for the repeater is thus indoor, in a tempered and ventilated room.

Sunshine

If a repeater is placed outdoor and can be exposed to direct sunshine, it is

essential that the air can circulate around the repeater with no obstacle.

The operating temperature must not exceed +55°C. A shelter can be used to shade the repeater from direct sunshine.

Shelter

Allgon repeaters are designed with a weather proof outdoor case that can

be mounted without any kind of shelter from rain, snow or hail.

If a repeater is to be opened on the site when raining, snowing, or hailing there must be some kind of permanent or temporary shelter. This is applicable to gentle rainfall, snowfall or hail. Limitations for very bad weather is found in the next section.

Outdoor Installation and Service Limitations

Sited outdoors, the repeater must not be opened for installation or

service at bad weather, such as:

– Intense rainfall, snowfall or hail – Storm or high wind – Extremely low or high temperature – High humidity of the air

The repeater is now ready to be configured in accordance with the site conditions and system performance requirements. Pay especial attention to the antenna isolation described in the AR Repeaters and OMT32, User’s Manual.

VD203 67/EN - User’s Manual Rev. 1A 2000-07 4 - 4

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Functional Description

. Functional Description and Design

Allgon repeaters work as bi-directional on-frequency amplifiers.

A repeater receives, amplifies, and retransmits signals downlink and uplink simultaneously, i.e. from the base station via the repeater to the mobile stations and from the mobile stations via the repeater to the base station.

The repeater is connected to a BS antenna, directed towards the base station, and to a MS antenna directed towards the area to be covered. These antennas are connected to the repeater with N type male connectors.

To prevent instability due to poor antenna isolation, a built-in antenna isolation supervision feature reduces the gain level automatically when poor antenna isolation is detected.

The Allgon repeaters are controlled by powerful microprocessors.

Alarm and operational LEDs are visible on the repeater front.

The repeater works with convection cooling without fan.

Operational parameters such as gain, power levels, etc. are set using a desktop or notebook and the Allgon OMT32, which communicate, locally or remotely via modem, with the repeater. Remote operation is performed using a telephone line or a built-in mobile phone equipped with a data interface.

VD203 67/EN - User’s Manual Rev. 1A 2000-07 5 - 1

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Functional Description

Repeater Design

The repeater is housed in a cast aluminium chassis that is waterproof,

class NEMA4/IP65, for outdoor use. The chassis has a design suited for outdoor use as well as indoor use.

The chassis consists of a cabinet and a cover joined with hinges. The cabinet contains the repeater circuitry.

The cover has two external LEDs for operation and alarm indication.

Both the uplink and downlink circuitry is built up on a single BSC board inside the repeater. The various amplifiers and RF modules are individually shielded by metal covers.

The BSC band selective compact repeater board

The band selective compact repeater board can handle one wide band

repeater channel, uplink and downlink. The band width is adjustable.

Other units

Figure 5-2 shows a block diagram of the band selective compact repeater.

This diagram is applicable to repeaters for e.g. NMT, GSM, TACS/ETACS, AMPS/DAMPS and CDMA systems.

Downlink signal path

The signal from the base station is received via the repeater BS antenna and is forwarded through a directional coupler (DCC) to the ANT input of a duplex filter (DPX). The signal from the HI output of the duplex filter is, via the P126 port, fed to the BSC board. On the BSC board, the signal is amplified in a low noise amplifier (LNA) and is then entered the band selective amplifier circuitry.

The first mixer stage in the BSC amplifier, which is controlled by a synthesizer, converts the received frequency down to the IF frequency. The signal is then filtered by SAW bandpass filters and, not shown in the

VD203 67/EN - User’s Manual Rev. 1A 2000-07 5 - 5

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Functional Description

figure, amplified before it is fed to the second mixer stage for conversion back to the original frequency.

The SAW filter combination is adjustable and can be software changed from within OMT32 (or OMS) to cover various band widths.

The following power amplifier (PA) is controlled by the BSC control

circuitry. The amplifier gain will be reduced to avoid instability due to poor antenna isolation.

A detector in the PA stage measures continuously the output level. The

signal from this detector is used by the automatic gain control, AGC, to supervise and, if necessary, reduce the output power to keep it under a maximum level. The AGC gain control affects several of the amplification stages.

The output signal from the BSC board is taken from the P128 port and it

is fed to the HI port of a duplex filter (DPX). The output signal from the ANT port of the duplex filter is fed to the repeater MS antenna.

RCC

R2R

The optional RCC Remote Communication Control unit, if used, is located inside the repeater, see Figure 5-1 on page 5-3.

Communication with the base station is performed by means of a built-in mobile feature that has the antenna connected to the BS directional coupler (DCC). Data is transferred between the repeater and the built-in RCC unit via the P130 port.

The RCC unit is powered via the P130 port and the unit has a battery with capacity to send a number of alarms if a mains power failure occurs.

The Repeater to Repeater Link feature makes it possible to communicate with a number of repeaters via one RCC unit in one of the repeaters in an R2R net. Several RCC units can also be used in the same net.

The repeaters in the R2R net are connected to the P118 port and to the P124 port.

The R2R feature is further described on page 5-17.

VD203 67/EN - User’s Manual Rev. 1A 2000-07 5 - 6

ALLGON Systems AB ALR Compact Repeater Functional Description

Alarm

Alarm signals from external sensors are received via the P119 alarm port.

The software on the BSC board is able to activate acoustic or visual alarm or direct the alarm to the P130 PCC port to be forwarded, via the RCC unit (or modem and telephone line) to OMT32 (or OMS) located in an operation and maintenance central.

Alarms can be configured from OMT32 (or from OMS).

Repeater Setup

The repeater parameters can be set locally by means of a desktop or

notebook loaded with the OMT32 software (or the OMS software). The PC or notebook is connected to the repeater via the P112 PC port.

The repeater parameters can also be set remotely by means of an RCC

Remote Communication Control unit (or via a telephone line and a modem) connected to the repeater via the P130 PCC port.

• AR Repeaters and OMT32, User’s Manual

• Advanced Repeater OMS, User’s Manual

The table starting on the following page contains those alarms that can be generated by a Compact repeater.
