proves the performance of CDMA Base Stations (BTS) in indoor and outdoor lo-
cations, allowing for cost efficient imple-
mentation of high capacity radio net-
works. By increasing both the downlink power and receive sensitivity, CCIs Cell Extender increases the overall coverage area and improves the performance of the site. The CE-1819-100MC provides up to 100 Watts of combined CDMA output power per feeder line/antenna.

Mechanical Diagram Model CE-1819-100MC 1 2 3-4 5 Technical Description CCIs Multi-channel CDMA Cell Extender is designed to improve overall site performance by boosting both forward and reverse link parameters in a balanced manner. The system is designed to provide 100 Watts of usable CDMA output power per sector antenna and can serve up to three sectors with two feeder antennas per sector. As such, a CE-1819-100MC system used in six car-
rier sector with 3 carriers per antenna can delivers 32 W per carrier. The CE-1819-100MC was specifically designed for very simple interface with micro and mini base stations without any need of retrofitting the original BTS equipment. The system can be pad mounted at any convenient location or pole-mounted when site space is limited. The Cell Extender system consists of two major blocks that can be easily connected during the initial installation of the BTS or as a retrofit to an operational BTS. The tower top amplifier (TTA) unit is mounted at the top of the tower next to the Antennas and is responsible for improving the uplink signal from mobile users and increasing the receive sensitivity of the BTS. The TTA is housed in a moisture proof NEMA 4X enclosure and contains low noise receive amplifiers and du-
plexers. The TTA is powered via DC power that is coupled onto the center conductor of the coax line. It also communicates is operational and alarm status three multi-carrier sectors via the coax line. The Ground Level Unit (GLU) is an outdoor cabinet designed to serve up to three sectors with up to six CDMA carriers per sector. Each sector section consists of high power Duplexers, multi-channel power amplifiers, gain control and bypass circuitry which is activated in case of fail-
ure of any critical component of the system. CCIs Multi-channel CDMA Cell Extender employs a unique BTS transmit power recovery technology (patent pending) that allows up to a 25% in-
crease in the efficiency of the system. Communication Components Inc.

PCS 20W CDMA Cell Extender Additional Information The Cell Extender is designed to enhance both uplink and downlink limited applications and will boost the performance of the BTS to increase the overall coverage area of the site. There are four major applications for CDMA Cell Extenders:
1. Sector MOU Enhancement Typically for fringe sectors with low traffic. The goal is cover-
age/traffic/MOU increase by increasing footprint and low capacity site substitution by using Cell Extenders in the corresponding sectors of neighboring sites. 2. RSSI and Soft/Hard Hand-Off Enhancement When signal in overlapping areas is too weak for reliable hand-off, the Cell Extender is installed on two opposing sectors for improved RSSI in the hand-off area. Dropped calls can also be improved in crossed terrain sectors. 3. In-Building and Outdoor High Speed 3G-Data Enhancement- Increased downlink power and uplink sensitivity results in higher data rate throughput. 4. Forward Power Blocking (FPB) or Automatic Level Control (ALC) Mode Reduction-
Using Cell Extenders with proper Pilot/Traffic channel power partitioning and sector parameter settings can significantly decrease the FPB without reducing traffic. This approach can delay and, in some cases, eliminate the implementation of second carriers (F2).
