INTRODUCTION Up to four technologies in one body: SDR is an over-the-air repeater system that can incorporate up to four (4) technologies in one body. Current supported technologies are SMR800, SMR900, PCS, BRS, Cellular, 700MHz, and AWS. 1.1 Highlights Supports up to 4 frequency bands simultaneously
Available modules include:
700 MHz- Covers any combination of Lower A, Lower B, and Upper C AWS- Covers 70 MHz 3 independent RF channels, each channel supports 1.25 to 18.75 MHz bandwidth BRS- Covers 188 MHz, Instantaneous Bandwidth 30MHz Cellular- Covers the 25 MHz band PCS- Covers 65 MHz SMR800 (18 MHz) / SMR900 (5 MHz) 3 independent RF channels, each channel supports 1.25 to 18.75 MHz bandwidth Composite Output Power of 24 or 30,33 dBm 30 dB AGC Range @ 0.5 dB Step for SMR 40 dB AGC Range @ 0.5dB Step for 700MHz, AWS, BRS, Cellular, and PCS Adjustable AGC Output Power Level Adjustable ALC Level Band Selectable via Web-GUI Can Support up to 3 Non-Contiguous Bands on the PCS and AWS modules Supports Network Management Monitoring System via SNMP Digital filtering Incremental Automatic Shutdown/Resumption Time: SDR gradually increases the time span between automatic shutdown and resumption before it permanently shuts itself down Versatility and Usability: SDR gives total control to the user. Most of the control parameters, e.g., gain, output power, alarm threshold, etc. can be changed using the Web-GUI so that the user can adjust the system perfectly to the given RF environment Web-GUI connectivity via DHCP Supports DHCP; No 3rd party GUI software required Automated installation Adjustable center frequencies by 1KHz step Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 12 1.2 Parts List J A Table 1-1 Parts List Label Quantity Description SDR-NMS A B C D E F G SDR-Modules J K SDR-CHC L M N O 1 1 1 1 6 1 1 SDR Network Management System (NMS) AC Power Cable Ethernet Cable (Crossover) NMS Power Cable Anchor Bolt Ground Cable Documentation CD**

These settings can be adjusted by logging into the repeater in HOST mode and configuring the settings under the Modem Box Setting section on the Install Page (section 5.4.1.3). Once the settings are set, flipping the switch to the REMOTE position will reboot the repeater with the new alternate settings. Please note that when the repeater is set to the REMOTE position, DHCP is disabled and the repeater will not automatically assign an IP address to any device that connects directly to the repeater.

The SDR-CHC can be directly mounted to the chassis using the chassis mounting kit. This kit is only needed when wall-mounting the SDR. Figure 19 SDR CHC Mount Bracket Kit Figure 20 SDR CHC Front View The SDR-CHC is to be placed on top the chassis. The mounting brackets should be installed in the position shown below in grey. Secure the mounting brackets in place with the screws.

Figure 22 Ground Cable Connection Round terminals located on the side of a 0.75 mm2 (18 AWG) or more wires Using permanently connected to earth. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 29 4.3 Antenna Separation/Isolation/ Installation Separation between the antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually reenters, due to the lack of separation between the donor and server antennas. In other words, the signal is being fed back into the system. This creates a constant amplification of the same signal. As a result, the noise level rises above the signal level. The Donor antenna cable must be used with 24 dB Loss. SDR-AF Figure 23 RF Repeater Oscillation To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated by an appropriate distance to provide sufficient isolation. Isolation is attained by separating antennas a sufficient distance so that the output of one antenna does not reach the input of the other. This distance is dependent on the gain of the repeater. A sufficient isolation value is 13 ~ 15 dB greater than the maximum gain of the repeater. For example, if the gain of the repeater is 50 dB, then an isolation of 63 ~ 65 dB or greater is required. In the same manner, because the SDR has a maximum gain of 95dB in case of SDR-AF, it requires an isolation of at least 108 ~ 110dB. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 30 REPEATER 4.4 Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the base station typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the BTS can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the BTS may impair the repeater from obtaining any BTS signal. As a result, the repeater cannot transmit signal to the coverage area. Therefore, a direct line of sight to the BTS for the donor antenna is vital to the function of a repeater. For the same reason, placing the server antenna in direct line of sight of the coverage area is also necessary. Figure 24 Direct Line of Sight to the BTS Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 31 5.

24/30/33 SDR-AF Figure 108 SDR Mechanical Drawing Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 78 APPENDIX B: SHUTDOWN RETRY LOGIC The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from any further damage from a hard-
fail that the system may be experiencing. Within 5 seconds of a hard-fail alarm being detected, the repeater will start the shutdown routine. The repeater will shut down by powering of the HPAs (high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds have elapsed, the repeater will power on the HPAs and check to see if the hard-fail alarm still exist. If the hard-fail alarm still exists, then the repeater will shut down for 1 minute (double the time of the previous shutdown time). After 1 minute has elapsed, the repeater will power on the HPAs and check to see if the hard-fail alarm still exist. If the hard-fail alarm still exists, then the repeater will shut down for 2 minutes (double the time of the previous shutdown time). The shutdown routine will repeat itself a total of 10 times. If the hard-fail alarm still exists after the 10th retry, then the repeater will turn off its HPAs permanently until a reset is performed or factory set is executed.
