1. Overviews
The iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) RF repeater is a RF repeater for indoor use
using a frequency band of iDEN networks.
This is an ideal and economical RF repeater for customers who want expansion of
communication ranges while not reducing performance with a RF relay system by installing
repeaters inside buildings, parking lots in electromagnetic shade regions, etc.
This repeater is designed to be elastically applicable to any frequency of iDEN band, is
excellent in frequency selection levels of frequency bandwidth to service of down links and up
links through an up/down converter module, and minimizes interference in other signals.
The iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) RF repeater CCD has a local repeater
control function to manage and control repeaters continuously for stable services of repeaters
installed at the site and a remote repeater control function to support remote monitoring and
control using a repeater integrated monitoring system.
The iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) RF repeater is interlocked with the iDEN
repeater integrated monitoring system using a modem in order to be interlocked with the iDEN
repeater integrated monitoring system.
The basic structure of iDEN repeaters is composed of an input port and an output port. The
inside of repeaters was composed of a DL(Down Link) converter and UL(Up Link) converter as
one module for optimum sizes and high efficiency and composed of PSU(Power Supply Unit),
Filter Unit, NMS module, and PAU(Power Amplifier Unit).
All modules except PAU was commonly used for economy and efficiency of operation and it was
made possible to change system output with PAU replacement only.

2. System Network Configuration
The iDEN RF repeater is an indoor relay device to receive and amplify the signals from
EBTS(Enhanced Base Transceiver System) wirelessly. The amplified signals secures cell
coverage and provides quality service for users by installing repeaters in various
electromagnetic shade regions that electromagnetic waves do not reach during expnasion of
communication zones of parking lots in buildings, households, etc. and by having them provide
services.
<Fig. 1 > iDEN network configuration
2.1 Application Scoped
The iDEN RF repeater aims to secure separate cell coverage and expand quality service
regions for users in order to provide mobile phone services inside a small-scale building and
underground space and transmit signals to various shade regions such as parking lots in
households, buildings, etc. by being installed where signals cannot reach or signals are weak.

4. System Shape and Functions
4.1 System Shape
The iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) RF repeater was arranged to efficiently utilize
component modules when operators compose and operate the iDEN service network.
The iDEN RF repeater is basically installed on the wall, has a structure to be installed on a 19
inch rack as necessary, and is provided with ground terminals on the lower part of repeaters for
grounding.
< Fig. 4 > System shape
4.2 Cabinets
The cabinet of repeaters is made of a die-casting structure and enables component modules to
be installed on the door part in order to enhance attachment efficiency and minimize cabinet
sizes.
The heat radiation fins of repeaters have excellent heat radiation effects by determining the
length of fins for radiation of generated heat depending on output capacity.
