PCS BEAMER FLEXBEAMER RF REPEATER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This document is a guide to the Installation, operation and maintenance of the PCS RF FLEXBEAMER System. This first chapter brings a brief description of the RF Repeater System overview . PCS RF Channel Selective Repeater System consists of these Three parts:
BAU (Beamer Antenna Unit) - the interface between the BTS (Base Transceiver Station) Via the Donor Antenna and the RAC . RAC (Remote Antenna Controller)- Up link and Down link amplifiers with programmable attenuators. Control card for C&M of the whole FLEXBEAMER system.

It incorporates a The BEAMER transmission amplifier, Remote Controlled Gain, transmission band filter and the respective receive chain: band filter, and Gain controlled LNA. The Tx amplifier is linear. The Rx amplifier has an exceptional linear dynamic range. The integral unit contains its own power conditioner and a monitoring and control circuit that communicates with the RAC and from there on through the Wireless Modem to any remote PC (The Wireless Modem feature is an option) . The whole unit is sealed and built as a plug-in replaceable unit. The design and production techniques offer low price and high reliability.

Controller Power conditioner Figure 2: BEAMER block diagram The band pass filters (BPF) supply enough Tx/Rx channel isolation to ensure that the small amount of Tx signal power and Tx wide band noise power leaking into the sensitive receive channel will not degrade the Rx channel performance. In the FLEXBEAMER System the BPF are replaced by a duplexer and the Beamer antenna by a separate sector antenna. The Rx amplifier is a low noise amplifier with a high enough intercept point that several PCS channels received simultaneously should not degrade each other's performance. The low noise and high gain performance of this amplifier compensate for the high losses of the coaxial cable going down from the Rx BEAMER front-end to the RAC and BAU and transmitted to the base station. The Tx Amplifier is a power amplifier that enables up to 10 Watts average at the Tx antenna port. while compensating for gain and power losses in the coaxial cable coming up from the BAU received from the base station.

913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 15 of 80NUMPAGES The RAC interfaces to the Tx and Rx RF signals from the BTS via the Donor antenna and the BAU has two serial ports for a local host computer RS-485 and remote control via a wireless modem for diagnostics, (as an option) monitoring and control. The Active Bias-Ts in the RAC enable setting the proper input power for the BEAMER units and maintaining beam shaping using the DCA inside the Active Bias-Ts. Up to 6 ACBTs , in any combination of Rx and Tx types can be assembled in each RAC. The RAC controller monitors the proper operation of the BEAMER units of the BAU and FLEXBEAMER and enables real-time bi-directional communication between individual BEAMER unit and dedicated computer, via the RAC. The BEAMER modules are constantly monitored and controlled by the RAC unit. Bi-directional communication with the BEAMER is established through an FSK modulated communication channel multiplexed on the Rx coaxial cable connecting the individual BEAMER the RAC. The coaxial cable can be as long as 100 meters and have losses of up to 8db at 1850 to 1945MHz band. to The Uplink signal at 1850-1865 MHz runs on the same coaxial (Rx)cable with DC and the M&C from the FLEXBEAMER, but an isolation between the DC, M&C, and Uplink signals is high due to Bias-T isolation. The Down Link signal at 1930-1945 MHz runs on the same coaxial (Tx) cable together with the DC voltage, but isolation between the DC voltage and Tx signals is high due to Bias-T isolation. 1.3.3.

913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 17 of 80NUMPAGES The gain of the Bias-Ts is defined according to the system design. The Active Bias-T comprised of a boost amplifier and a digital controlled attenuator in order to adjust the gain and enable a convenient interface to the Control features. The gain of the ABT assemblies is Temperature Compensated. The Rx ABTs are transparent to the FSK communication channel which enables the M&C communication with the BEAMER units in the FLEXBEAMER and the BAU. In this manual, Bias-Ts are also termed 'sub-array', since each Bias-T can serves an independent portion of an array (i.e., Tx sub-array or Rx1 and Rx2 sub-arrays, which are all physically part of the same array, but are logically independent entities).

The FLEXBEAMER RF Repeater System is basically a modular tower top Repeater with the FLEXBEAMER Sector Active unit at the Distribution side of the Repeater and the BAU and RAC, being assembled near the Donor Antenna , includes the Donor Side LNA , Donor Side Power amplifier and all the Telemetry , Monitoring and Control ( Including the Wireless Modem as an option). The FLEXBEAMER RF Repeater is equipped with programming and modularity features that are uncommon with other, comparable systems. The chapter details the instructions for field installation of the FLEXBEAMER RF Repeater system. It is intended to be used by customer technical personnel, who are trained to install and service the FLEXBEAMER RF Repeater system. Important Safety Precautions 2.2. The system is supplied following extensive acceptance production line tests. Usually, lab tests will not be required before installing the unit at the customer's location. One should always be aware of the necessary safety precautions, assuring that the FLEXBEAMER Repeater system will be fully functional after the installation. Read this instruction guide thoroughly before starting with the installation. In case of doubt, do not hesitate to call Celletra Customer Support engineering.

913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 23 of 80NUMPAGES The RAC module overall weight is 12 Kg. The RAC can be carried by one person . For lifting it up the RAC up tower, use the clamps mechanical base units. The RAC Module is Hermetically sealed in controlled environment. Do not open any units attached to it. This should be done of the covers or disassemble the BEAMER only in a controlled environment by Celletra authorized Personnel. The FLEXBEAMER module overall weight is 8 Kg FLEXBEAMER hardware is hermetically sealed in controlled environment. Do not open or try to disassemble a BEAMER module. This should be done only by Celletra authorized personnel. modules can be replaced by authorized personnel only following the BEAMER instruction herein. Use extra caution when installing the unit on tower top. Use proper winch or pulley to lift the unit up the tower. Watch carefully for possible obstacles when lifting the units. Pad the units, if needed, to avoid possible damage during lift-up. Always shut down the AC or DC supply to the RAC before replacing or removing the FLEXBEAMER or BAU from the tower.

913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 24 of 80NUMPAGES 2.2.2. System Measurement and Testing Conditions Live +24VDC with high current capability exists on the FLEXBEAMER and BAU Coaxial connections of the RAC. (These are the Tx ABT output and the Rx ABT input N-type connectors at the RAC). Disconnect the AC or DC power to the RAC before any cable is disconnected from the RAC, FLEXBEAMER or BAU. Always use a DC block device connected to the measuring equipment input or output ports
(spectrum analyzer, power meter, or RF signal source), when measuring RAC performance. Do not apply more than +10dBm of RF input power to any RF port of the FLEXBEAMER Repeater system, or irreversible damage may occur. When measuring high power outputs, always verify that the equipment input port is capable for handling the expected output power. When testing the units in lab or during field installation, always practice RF radiation safety rules. It is not recommended for service or lab personnel to work closer then 2 meters away from the FLEXBEAMER Antenna surface when operated at full RF power. During lab tests, with AC voltage applied to the RAC, do not use any PCS mobile transmitter in a range of less than 10 meters from the FLEXBEAMER unit. An unexpectedly high RF power might appear at the output ports, which might in turn damage the measuring equipment connected to that port.

913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 25 of 80NUMPAGES 2.3. BAU RAC and FLEXBEAMER Installation Instructions 2.3.1. Sector Antenna Mounting The Sector Antenna should be mounted on the top of the tower in order to achive best coverage. The Customer should refer to existing Network Planning Tools or Celletra Technical Support. 2.3.2. Donor Antenna Mounting The mounting of the Donor antenna is pending the application and the location specific 1. parameters. The following guide lines for the Donor antenna mounting are recommendations and the Customer should refer to existing Network Planning Tools or Celletra Technical Support.:
The Donor Antenna and the distribution antenna have Isolation in between them of at least 10 db higher then the overall Repeater Gain. Since Gain is 35 to 95db , the isolation should be 45 to 105 db. The Isolation is achieved by mounting the two Antennas and the FLEXBEAMER on opposite walls of a building or by mounting both on the same tower but up to 10 meters vertically separation ( Isolation dependent). For Maximum Repeater Coverage the Distribution FLEXBEAMER antenna will be mounted on Tower top while the Donor antenna will be mounted up to 10 meters below the FLEXBEAMER antenna. The Donor antenna is a high Gain, high directivity, low side lobes Antenna and can be 2. one of several types and different vendors. Mount the Donor antenna following strictly the manufacturer instructions. Trim the Donor antenna Azimuth towards the Donor Base Station ,as per the process of 3. paragraph 3.2.1. Tighten and secure all screws per the Antenna Vendor instructions. Confidential, Proprietary Information Title: PCS FlexBeamer System A &O Manual RF Repeater Doc. No.:
913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 26 of 80NUMPAGES 2.4. FLEXBEAMER Installation Instructions General Array Installation Instructions 2.4.1. We recommend using a 3-4.5 diameter pole for the FLEXBEAMER System installation. The figures later in this section illustrate the installed FLEXBEAMER units, showing the Tx and Rx cables connections. The RF coaxial cables connecting the BAU FLEXBEAMER and the RAC can be of any 3/8 or diameter low loss type. These cables carry DC Current and RF signals from the RAC to the BAU and FLEXBEAMER. Since the FLEXBEAMER include the Power amplifier and the LNA, the losses on these cables can be high without affecting the overall performance. Thus , these cables can be as long as 100 meters . Sealing and weatherproofing of RF connector is of prime importance to assure good electrical contact for many years, minimizing DC loss and passive RF inter-modulation effects. Thus, special care should be taken with the RF connectors sealing and weatherproofing especially at the FLEXBEAMER input connectors that are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Common sealing practice should be used. For sealing instructions, refer, for example, to Andrews weatherproofing recommendations with 3MTM Cold ShrinkTM Weatherproofing Kit, or an equivalent sealing method. Before installing the FLEXBEAMER unit, note that each FLEXBEAMER and BAU has a Tag attached to it. After installation remove the tag keep it and log this info in the system manual book. This tag carries the BEAMER unit as appears on the module label nearby the Rx connector).You will need these IDs later, for system configuration setup. modules address.(This address is the serial number of each BEAMER Unpacking 2.4.2.

Connect a Pilot Scanner to the Donor Antenna port for verifying that the requested sector is relayed. 3. Record the maximum pilot signal level at the Donor Antenna terminal:
Pilot PN Sequence Offset: _________ Pilot power Pp _________[dBm]
Pilot quality Ec/Io: ____________[db]
3.2.2. Repeater Down Link (DL) Gain Setting The overall DL gain is settable in the rang of : 35dB to 95 dB by using the Remotely controlled Attenuators of the BAU, FLEXBEAMER and RAC. The following procedure will define the optimum DL gain setting. 1. FLEXBEAMER Gain Setting Calculate the required Pilot Power according to the normal Site Planning Procedure to be transmitted by the Repeater Array, according to the required coverage area, using the Network planning tools. Since the maximum FLEXBEAMER total power is 8 (2x4) watts, the maximum allocated Pilot Power is 0.8 Watts (+29dBm) (20% of total power). The FLEXBEAMER Gain is settable over a 15.5 dB range , in 0.5 dB steps. Denoting the required Pilot Power PP ( 2x0.8Watt) , the FLEXBEAMER amplifier attenuator should be set to:
FLEXBEAMER Attenuation setting = 10 log 10 (PT max/10) =10 log 10 (PP/.10)[dB]
(1) When PT maxWatt Example: Assume your Network Planning tool requires the Max. Pilot Power from the Distribution Array to be 1W. The FLEXBEAMER attenuation should be set according to (1) to the following Value:
FLEXBEAMER Att. Value= 10 log10 (1/2.0)= -3.01 db ( rounded to 3db) Confidential, Proprietary Information Title: PCS FlexBeamer System A &O Manual RF Repeater Doc. No.:
913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 42 of 80NUMPAGES 2. DL Low Power Chain Gain Setting Calculating the Gain of the DL FLEXBEAMER units: The Max. gain of 2.1 the DL amplifiers in the RAC is 95 db. This gain amplification is composed of 4 successive amplifiers- The BAU LNA, DL Rx ABT, the DL Tx ABT and the FLEXBEAMER Beamer each contributes approximately 15dB of the total FLEXBEAMER adjustable DL gain. The total gain of the DL Amplifiers of the RAC should be set to the value which will bring the Pilot Ec received at the Donor Antenna to the required value at the FLEXBEAMER input. Thus the DL Gain of the Repeater System should be set to the following value:
Total Gain of DL in Repeater = +PpPp [dB]..(2) Where Pp denotes the DL signal input to the Donor Antenna .(3.1.1). Example:
If the Pp measured at the Donor antenna is 60dbm, the total required gain of the DL amplifiers of the RAC is +27-(-60)=+87db ..(2.1) Dividing the Gain between the FLEXBEAMER Repeater stages: After 2.2 calculating the total DL gain of the FLEXBEAMER Repeater per equation (2), the gain should be divided between the 4 stages of the DL FLEXBEAMER Repeater chain. following are the recommendations for doing that:
a. Start the process by setting all the DCA attenuation in the BAU and RAC to 15.5dB. b. Start reducing the Attenuation from max. at the BAU first(which is the first amplifier in the chain. c. The second DCA to reduce the attenuation is the Rx ABT(second amplifier in the chain). d. The third DCA to be reduced its attenuation will be the Tx ABT. Example:
According to the process in example (2.1) , one needs to have +71db gain out of the +95 db available. Following the steps a-c, the DL Tx ABT attenuator is set to 14dB attenuation, and the Rx ABT set to 10dB. Note The DL Main and Diversity EIRPs should be equal in order to achieve the maximum diversity gain. Check by reducing the DL Diversity TX gain by 15.5 dB and check the power
(actual or through the BSM indication) of the Main channel. Repeat the same procedure for the Diversity channel by reducing the Main TX channel. Confidential, Proprietary Information Title: PCS FlexBeamer System A &O Manual RF Repeater Doc. No.:
913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 43 of 80NUMPAGES 3.2.3. Repeater Up-Link (UL) Gain Setting The overall UL gain is settable in the range of : 35dB to 95dB. 1. Set the FLEXBEAMER LNAs gain to +30 db ( DCA set to 0db attenuation). 2. Set the repeater UL RAC and BAU amplifiers (UL Rx ABT, UL Tx ABT, BAU P.A) gain to minimum. This corresponds to a total UL gain of 50dB, including the FLEXBEAMER amplifiers 3. Drive with a MS to the far out border of the Repeater coverage area, and observe the Mobile Tx Power (in test mode). Operate the repeater Remote Control SW to remotely control the RAC UL amplifiers gain. 3.1 If the Mobile Tx Power is maximum (+23dBm), increase BAU UL PA Amplifier gain in 1dB steps until the Mobile Tx Power drops 2 dB bellow its maximum. If required , increase the gain of the UL Rx ABT and than the gain of the UL Tx ABT. 3.2 If the Mobile Tx Power is less than 2db below its maximum (+23dBm), decrease the FLEXBEAMER Rx Gain in 1dB steps, Until the MS reaches the maximum of +21dbm Mobile Tx Power.
*Note: This procedure guarantees a fade margin for UL of 2 db. In practice, the Operator should utilize the required fade , according to the Site Planning rules. More margins are possible by further increasing the UL repeater gain and observing the lower MS Tx Power. This should be tested in a drive tests along the distribution side coverage border. The UL main and Diversity should be equalized: Measure power out of the BAU while attenuating the main or diversity gain by 15.5 dB. NOTE 3.2.4. Repeater DL gain Fine Tuning For optimum DL and UL balancing it is recommended to have additional fine tuning procedure performed on the DL, after going through the previous processes. 1.

Introduction This chapter is a guide to loading program files to the RAC and BEAMER via their Monitoring and Control communication channels. This enables program upgrades in the field without dismantling the equipment for that purpose. The program loading is done from a PC when using the CELLETRA SOFTWARE DOWNLOADING SYSTEM program, which is supplied by CELLETRA. This chapter describes the loading process to the RAC and the BEAMER SOFTWARE DOWNLOADING SYSTEM. using the CELLETRA 5.2. Overview Downloading Software to the RAC 5.2.1. In the software download process a new application program file is loaded to the RAC via the serial communication channel or Wireless Modem and saved to the FLASH memory. 5.2.1.1. RAC Memory Configuration The RAC controller includes two types of memories a FLASH memory and a RAM. The FLASH memory includes the configuration parameters of the RAC (such as ID number, number of arrays, failure conditions etc.) and the application program, which enables all the features of the RAC and which is upgradeable. The RAM is used for logging events into the log file during regular operation of the RAC, and for receiving the new application program for the RAC during the download process. A third memory is Confidential, Proprietary Information Title: BEAMER Array System-
Doc. No.: 913002500 Rev.: 00 Page: 63 of 80 Assembly and Operation Manual located in the CPU component and includes the basic I/O program of the controller. This program enables operation of the basic functions of the controller (such as serial communication and application program loading) and cannot be modified. The memory size allocated for the application is 64 Kbytes. Programming a new application program into the FLASH memory does not affect the RAC configuration parameters. 5.2.1.2. RAC Download Operation Mode Loading a program file to the RAC is enabled while the RAC operates in Download mode. The operation mode of the RAC is changed by a command through the serial communication channel. When the RAC operates in Download mode, no operational function is performed. (That means that it does not provide monitoring and control of the BEAMER s). The baud rate of the serial port increases to 56K baud. That enables faster transmission of data packets to the RAC during the download process. The RAC returns to operational mode (Auto) at the end of the loading process or if there was no data transmission from the PC within a predefined time period . 5.2.1.3. File Transmission From PC to RAC File Transmission 5.2.1.3.1. The program file is a HEX type file and the data is ASCII format. While loading the file to the RAC the PC sends the file content line by line. The RAC reports TO the PC about reception quality. If errors were detected the transmission will be stopped and an error message will be displayed. The PC then restarts the transmission. The program is contained in files of 64 Kbytes. That is, if the program size is greater than 64 Kbytes it will be packed in two files that are distinguished by their names. 5.2.1.3.2. The file name has the following format: IDUxxTVVV.Hyy File Name Format IDU Xx T VVV Hyyy RAC application header Not relevant for loader Application type (0,2,3=Celletra ICU/1=Micro ICU) Application version HEX: The program is packed in one HEX file H00 and H01: The program is packed in two HEX files Example: IDUck0102.h01 IDUck: Software application 0: Celletra version 102: Software version number h01: High package of the hex file Confidential, Proprietary Information Title: BEAMER Array System-

Downloading Software to the BEAMER The Software download process enables loading of a new application program file for the BEAMER host processor and the DSP via the serial communication channel and saving it to the FLASH memory in the BEAMER
. 5.2.2.1. BEAMER Memory Configuration The BEAMER includes two processors a DSP and a HOST. The HOST processor is a general purpose processor that is used for reporting BEAMER initialization of the DSP. status to the RAC via a FSK channel and for The BEAMER controller includes a FLASH memory that contains:

(such as ID number, calibration tables etc.). The application program that enables all the features of the BEAMER by a new version. that can be replaced The program and data files of the DSP that can be replaced by a new version. The FLASH size contains two files of each program (two of HOST application, two program files for the DSP, and two data files for the DSP). The required program files for operation are selected by the user. The memory is arranged by pages (each page includes 128 bytes). 5.2.2.2. File transmission from PC to the BEAMER 5.2.2.2.1. File Transmission The new file is transmitted page by page from the PC to the RAC and from the RAC to the BEAMER
. All files to be loaded are text files. The files contain a Header block, which is the properties block, and the software to be loaded. When the load process is enabled, the baud rate of the serial port (from PC to the RAC) increases up to 56K Baud. That enables faster transmission of data packets to the RAC during the download process. The RAC reports the PC about reception quality and if errors occurred, the transmission will be stopped and an error message will be displayed. The RAC sends the data packets received from the PC to the BEAMER the RAC about reception quality. If errors were detected the transmission will be stopped and an error message will be displayed and the BEAMER reports 5.2.2.2.2.
