Safety Any personnel involved in installation, operation or service of Allgon repeaters must understand and obey the following:
Allgon AR 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 AR 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 in repeaters supplied from the mains contains dangerous voltage that can cause electric shock. Disconnect the mains prior to any work in such a 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. 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. BERYLLIUM OXIDE HYDROGEN FLUORIDE 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. CHA channel board power transistors, PA amplifier board power transistors, combiners (CMB), and FON board attenuators (at the P101 port) may contain beryllium oxide (BeO) that is poisonous if present as dust or smoke which can be inhaled. Do not file, grind, machine, or treat these parts with acid. Warning signs are applied on units containing beryllium oxide. These warning signs are shown in the next section. 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. VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 1 - 1 Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Safety A lithium battery is permanently mounted on the CU and FON boards. Due to the risk of explosion, this battery must not be removed from the board. In case of battery malfunction, replace the entire board. The old board can be sent to Allgon for repair. The optional FON board contains a class 1 laser transmitter that emits invisible laser radiation during operation. Avoid direct exposure from unconnected laser transmitter or fiber cord. The heat sink element on a CDMA High Power repeater can be very hot. Do not touch this surface during operation. Warning Signs The following warning signs must be observed and be kept clean and readable. Beryllium oxide This warning sign is applied on boards and units which contain beryllium oxide parts. This warning sign is applied at the bottom, inside the cabinet, below the power supply unit. The previous section details parts containing beryllium oxide and how to avoid dangerous dealing with these parts. Beryllium oxide hazard BERYLLIUM OXIDE
(Toxic) used in equipment see instruction book VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 1 - 2 Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Safety Static Electricity 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 boards as well as other parts in the repeater are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Never touch the printed circuit boards or uninsulated conductor surfaces unless absolutely necessary. If you must handle the printed circuit boards 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. VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 1 - 3 Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Installation 2. 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 Shelter 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 +55C. A shelter can be used to shade the repeater from direct sunshine. 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. Allgon can provide a shelter designed for these repeaters. This shelter is shown in Figure 2-1. 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. VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 2 - 1 Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Installation Dimensions and Weights The dimensions of the repeater, including the mounting bracket, is shown in Figure 2-1. The repeater chassis consists of two main parts, a cabinet in which the circuitry is housed, and a cover, which can be either a low cover or a high cover (see the figure) depending on the repeater type. Mounting bracket Cabinet Shelter Low cover High cover 110 (4.3") 530 (20.9") 520 (20.5") ALLGON 440 (17.3") 174 (6.9") 224 (8.8") 240 (9.4") 290 (11.4") Figure 2-1.

Clamps with c-c measures of 90mm (3.5"), 135mm (5.3"), 144mm
(5.7"), 205mm (8.1"), 250mm (9.8"), and 300mm (11.8") can be used as well. The vertical c-c measure for these are 411mm (16.2"). The mounting bracket is shown in the figure. NOTE! There is a 14mm (9/16") single hole in the middle of the mounting bracket, marked A in the figure, which is intended for a locking screw, i.e. a screw which cannot be removed when the repeater is put in the bracket. Mount the repeater as follows:
1. Mount the provided bracket. Normally, the repeater is mounted on a wall, pole, or mast. These mounting cases are shown below. Figure 2-3. Attaching the bracket to a wall Figure 2-3 shows a bracket attachment to a wall using four fixing screws and a locking screw. VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 2 - 4 Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Installation Figure 2-4. Attaching the bracket to a pole Figure 2-4 shows a bracket attachment to a pole using two 144mm
(5.7") U-shaped clamps and a locking screw. Figure 2-5. Attaching the bracket to a mast Figure 2-5 shows a bracket attachment to a mast using two 300mm
(11.8") bar-shaped clamps and no locking screw. VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 2 - 5 Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Installation Figure 2-6. Attaching the repeater to the bracket 2. After attaching the bracket, hang the repeater on the upper supports
(see Figure 2-6) and use the screws for the lower ones. Tighten the upper and lower screws. There are locking cylinders that can be inserted and locked with a key after the lower screws have been tightened (see Figure 2-6). These prevents from unauthorized removal of the repeater. 3. Make sure the donor antenna, directed towards the base station antenna, is mounted. 4. Make sure the service antenna, directed towards the area to be covered by the repeater, is mounted. VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 2 - 6 Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Installation Connection This section describes how to connect the input and output ports of the repeater types:

Station ground There is a screw to the left in the repeater that is intended for station ground only. This screw is marked with the ground symbol. Mains connection Note that local regulations are to be followed for the mains connection. The AR repeater is approved in accordance with EN and UL/cUL regulations. This is, however, only valid if a classified power cord is used. To get the repeater to meet these regulations, select one of the following classified and approved cord types:
EN- H 05 W5 - F HMR. UL- AWM Style 2587. CSA - AWM 1 A/B 11 A/B. For outdoor use the power cord should meet at least IP65 encapsulation requirements. For repeaters supplied from the mains, the mains outlet must be grounded. The mains connection described on the following pages means to mount the mains plug to the mains cord (if to be used) but it does not mean to connect the mains. Do not turn the mains on until you are commissioning the repeater (see Chapter 4, Commissioning, in the AR Repeaters, Users Manual). RCU and RCC remote control units All AR repeaters can be equipped with an RCU, Remote Control Unit. The GSM antenna for this unit is internally connected in the repeater. If the RCU is removed, then the jumper between pin 2 and 3 on the P27 port must be reconnected. Do not connect the jumper to another position than between pin 2 and 3 on the P27 port. An RCC, Remote Communication Control unit, is required if the unit is to be connected to a FON board (the FON board does not support the RCU). A description of the RCC and its connection is found in the VD203 67/EN, ALR Compact Repeater, Users Manual. The RCU and RCC are described in Chapter 6, Optionals, in the AR Repeaters, Users Manual.

Scope of Manual This manual is intended for use by service technicians familiar with similar types of equipment. It contains service information required for the equipment described and is current as of the printing date. Changes which occur after the printing date may be incorporated by a complete manual revision or alternatively as additions. The manual is organized into chapters as follows.
Chapter 1 - Product Description
Chapter 2 - Controls, Connections and Indicators
Chapter 3 - Installation
Chapter 4 - Maintenance
Chapter 5 - Specifications Safety It is necessary that any personnel involved in installation, operation or service of units included in a Powerwave repeater system understand and follow the below points. Powerwave repeaters are designed to receive and amplify signals from one or more base stations and retransmit the signals to one or more mobile stations. And, also to act the other way round, that is to receive signals from one or more mobile stations, amplify and retransmit the signals to the base stations. Powerwave repeater systems must be used exclusively for this purpose and nothing else. Units supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets and in conformity with the local prescriptions. Power supply units supplied from the mains contain dangerous voltage that can cause electric shock. Disconnect the mains prior to any work in such a unit. Local regulations are to be followed when servicing such units. Authorized service personnel only are allowed to service units while the mains is connected. The repeater cover must be secured in opened position, for instance 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, for instance on a mast or pole, be careful not to drop parts or the entire repeater. Falling parts can cause serious personal injury. All RF transmitting units, including repeaters, 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 close to an antenna. Beryllium oxide (BeO) may be contained in power devices, for instance in dummy loads in directional couplers (DCC), in combiner units (CMB), and in attenuators on the FON board. Beryllium oxide is poisonous if present as dust or smoke that can be inhaled. Do not file, grind, machine, or treat these parts with acid. Coaxial cables used in many Powerwave systems have the insulation 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 044-05250 Rev A 1-1
AR Standard Repeater Safety 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 in repeater CU units, and in FON and OCM units. Due to the risk of explosion, this battery must only be removed from the board by an Powerwave authorized service technician. NiCd batteries are mounted on the FON unit. These batteries contain environmental poisonous substances. If replaced, the old batteries should be taken care of as stated in the local prescriptions. The FON unit contains a class IIIb laser transmitter that emits 2 4mW invisible laser radiation during operation. Avoid direct exposure from unconnected laser transmitter or fiber cord as follows:
Do not power up the FON unit if a fiber cable is not attached to the fiber output UL port, neither if a fiber cable is attached to the port but unattached in the other end. Never look in the end of a fiber cable. The 1310nm and 1550nm laser light is not visible, so no signal identification can be made anyway. Use always an instrument, such as a power meter to detect signaling. Never use any kind of magnifying devices that can focus the laser light to an unaided eye. Warning Signs The following warning signs must be observed and be kept clean and readable. The warning sign to the left is applied on boards and units which contain beryllium oxide parts. The warning sign below is applied at the bottom, inside the cabinet, below the power supply unit. Beryllium oxide hazard BERYLLIUM OXIDE
(Toxic) used in equipment see instruction book Human Exposure of RF Radiation Safe distances must be kept when working around antennas. The following paragraphs describe the cautions to be aware of during the installation and maintenance of antenna systems and how to calculate safety distances needed for RF radiation at different antenna power and frequencies. Repeater Antennas To be able to receive and transmit signals, a repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and a service antenna directed towards the coverage area. A fiber optic cable from the base station might, however, be substituted for the donor antenna. Installation and Maintenance of Antenna Systems Installation and maintenance of all repeater antenna systems must be performed with respect to the radiation exposure limits for public areas. The antenna radiation level is affected by repeater output power, antenna gain, and transmission devices such as cables, connectors, splitters and feeders. Also have in mind the system minimum coupling loss, typically between 25dB and 35dB, is determined by a standard with the purpose to protect base stations from noise and other performance dropping effects. Radiation Exposure The World Health Organization (WHO) and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) have determined recommendations for radiation exposure.

4 r2 where S = Radiation power in W/m P = Output power in W r = Distance between antenna and human in meter To tackle the worst case successfully, the calculation does not consider system power reducing actions, such as power control and DTX. Figure 1-1 shows the safety distance to an antenna due to the RF radiation. The distance depends on antenna output power and frequency, which is illustrated with the two graphs. One graph applies to 4.5W/m2 (900MHz) and the other to 9.0W/m2 (1800MHz) or 10.0W/m2 (2100MHz). The safety distance range is 0 to 1.4 meters which covers an antenna power range of 10dBm to 50dBm (0.01W to 100W).

Parts on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) as well as other parts in the equipment are sensitive to ESD. Never touch the PCBA or uninsulated conductor surfaces unless absolutely necessary. If you must handle the PCBAs or uninsulated conductor surfaces, use ESD protective equipment or first touch the chassis with your hand. Never let your clothes touch PCBAs or uninsulated conductor surfaces and always store PCBAs in ESD-safe bags. 1-4 044-05250 Rev A Overview Overview AR Standard Repeater Figure 1-2 Powerwave AR Standard Repeater Powerwave AR repeaters work as bi-directional on-frequency amplifiers used to fill out uncovered areas in wireless mobile systems such as base station fringe areas, tunnels, business, convention centers, airports and industrial buildings. A repeater receives, amplifies and transmits signals to/from a base station to/from mobile stations with both directions being served simultaneously. To be able to receive and transmit signals in both directions, a repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area to be covered. These antennas are connected to the repeater with N type or 7/16" male connectors. The repeaters can also be connected via RF cables or fiber optic cables instead of donor or service antennas. Powerwave repeaters are microprocessor controlled with alarm and operational status LEDs visible on the front cover. Cooling is provided through convection heat dissipation. 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. Operational parameters, such as gain, channel number and power levels are set using a PC running Powerwave OM-Online software which can communicate with the repeaters either locally or remotely via modem. Remote operation can be performed via PSTN or a GSM net. The Operation and Maintenance System (OMS) provides for Network Operations Center
(NOC) configuration and alarm montioring. AR repeaters can be configured in many combinations, depending on the wireless system, single or double system operation, RF or optical transmission, and output power. The most common types of the AR repeaters are described in the following sections. Since all of the repeater models can be configured differently, the descriptions are applicable only to a small portion of the most commonly configured repeaters. In this document, the channel selective 900, 1800, and 1900 systems are called GSM, DCS and PCS respectively even though these systems may have different names in other parts of the world. Repeaters with RF / RF Transmission All units depicted on this and the following pages are assumed to have the donor connection to the left and the service connection to the right. Channel Selective (CSel) Repeater A channel selective GSM repeater is used for channel selective systems such as GSM, DCS, and PCS. It can be equipped with up to four channels in a standard chassis and up to eight in 044-05250 Rev A 1-5 AR Standard Repeater Overview a high cover chassis. This repeater type has the ability to work with GSM (GMSK) and EDGE
(8PSK) in GSM and PCS systems. AR17xx, AR27xx, and AR37xx are EDGE compatible. A channel selective CDMA or WCDMA repeater is used for digital code division systems in accordance with IS-95 (CDMA 2000 3GPP2) for CDMA and 3GPP / UMTS for WCDMA or J-STD-008 standard, and wideband digital code division systems. It can be equipped with two channels in the cabinet and additional two channels in a high cover. It can be connected with either a donor antenna or RF cable and a service antenna or RF cable. Channel selective High Power CDMA/WCDMA repeaters are the same as the CDMA/WCDMA repeaters but are equipped with a 6dB (typically) Booster Amplifier (BA) in the downlink path. The BA is located in the high cover with its own PSU and reduces the number of channels to two in the cabinet. Band Selective (BSel) Repeater The band selective repeater has an adjustable bandwidth and is used for analog or digital systems such as GSM, TACS, ETACS, AMPS, DAMPS, CDMA and WCDMA. This repeater type can be equipped with one band in the cabinet and additional one band in a high cover. It can be connected with either a donor antenna or RF cable and a service antenna or RF cable. Repeaters with RF / Fiber Optic Transmission Base Station Master Unit (BMU) A BMU is equipped with a Fiber Optic Node (FON) for optical transmission on the service side. It has an RF port for BTS connection and can provide up to four fiber optic ports that can be connected to Fiber Optic Repeaters (FORs) and WRHs by using WDMs and splitters. FORs and WRHs can be fed in parallel with double or single fiber optic cables. Up to eight FORs and WRHs can be fed if the BMU is equipped with a high cover and two FONs. The BMU is also available as a 19" rack mounted unit called an Optical Conversion Module (OCM). Information on the OCM is located in the Fiber Optic Equipment User Manual (044-052530). Repeater Master Unit (RMU) An RMU is a repeater equipped with a FON for optical transmission on the service side. The RMU has an RF port for a donor antenna and provide up to four fiber optic ports that can be connected to FORs and WRHs by using WDMs and splitters. FORs and WRHs can be fed in parallel with double or single fiber optic cables. Up to eight FORs and WRHs can be fed if the BMU is equipped with a high cover and two FONs. Repeater with Fiber Optics / RF Transmission A FOR is a repeater equipped with a FOU for optical transmission on the donor side. The FOR can connect to either a service antenna or RF cable. The FOR has a fiber optic donor port and an RF port for a service antenna (or RF cable). This unit can be connected to a BMU or RMU. Combined Repeater Some of the repeater types mentioned above can be combined in the same repeater chassis and be in operation in parallel. This can be used for different systems or different operators. One repeater part is located in the cabinet and an additional repeater part is located in a high cover. A combined repeater can, for example, have two RF ports for donor antennas (or RF cables) and two RF ports for service antennas (or RF cables). Repeater Chassis Design The repeater is housed in a cast aluminium waterproof chassis, class NEMA4 / IP65 approved for outdoor use but is also suited for indoor installations. The chassis consists of a cabinet and a cover attached with hinges. The cabinet contains the repeater circuitry. The cover comes as either a low or high version. The high cover can be used as an empty cover or be equipped as a part of the repeater or an independent repeater unit. A repeater with a high cover that is equipped as two independent repeater units (combined repeater) can, for example, be equipped for channel selective operation in the cabinet and band selective operation in the cover. 1-6 044-05250 Rev A Sub Unit Overview Sub Unit Overview AR Standard Repeater A number of amplifier boards are individually shielded and located under a metal cover inside the repeater. This cover can be opened outward for access. These amplifier PCBAs are of different types depending on the supported system. All of the repeater types are built up with a number of sub units which are described in the following paragraphs. Channel Amplifier PCBA for GSM and EDGE (CHE) The CHE is used for CSel operations. CSel GSM repeaters can handle up to eight channels. For every even number of channels, two CHEs are required, one for the uplink and one for the downlink. Numbered from left to right, positions 1 and 2 are used for two DL CHEs and 3 and 4 for two UL CHEs. Each repeater channel is allocated to a radio channel or switched off. In a GSM system, each repeater channel can handle eight calls (sixteen if half-rate encoding is used). CDMA/WCDMA Segment Amplifier PCBA (CSA) CSel CDMA/WCDMA repeaters can handle two CDMA or WCDMA repeater channels. The CSA provides this capability. For every even number of channels, two CSAs and two PAs are required; one pair of CSA/PAs for the uplink and one pair for the downlink. Each repeater channel is allocated to a radio channel or switched off. Numbered from left to right, position 1 is used for a CSA, position 2 for a DL PA, position 3 for a CSA and position 4 for a UL PA. Band Selective Amplifier PCBA (BSA) The BSA is used for BSel operations. BSel repeaters can handle multi-carriers over a wide band through the use of an adjustable bandwidth. Each repeater band requires two BSAs and two PAs; one pair of BSA/PAs for the downlink and one pair for the uplink. Numbered from left to right, position 1 is used for a DL BSA, position 2 for a DL PA, position 3 for an UL BSA and position 4 for an UL PA. Power Amplifier PCBA (PA) The PA is used to amplify the output signal from a BSA and a CSA. Each PCBA contains one path that can be used for either DL or UL amplification. Two PAs are thus required for one band for the downlink and uplink. Booster Amplifier (BA) CDMA/WCDMA repeaters can be equipped with a BA on the DL path to boost the output gain by 6dB (typically). The BA can operate with a maximum of 2 channels and occupies position 3 in the cabinet and position 7 in a high cover. It also requires an extra heat sink element on the outside of the cabinet or high cover. Some configurations use the existing PSU while others require a second PSU. Distribution PCBA (DIA) The DIA is a distribution PCBA on which all other PCBAs and units are connected to in the cabinet. A shielded metal frame on the DIA provides the mounting location for the CU, ALI and RCIs, if used. Control Unit PCBA (CU) The CU PCBA, illustrated in Figure 1-3, is the core microprocessor controller PCBA in the AR repeater and connects to port P2 on the DIA. It contains a microprocessor, main memory, flash memory for the CU software, EEPROM memory for parameters, memory for the event log and statistics, a REFO reference oscillator, ports for local and remote communication, battery powered real-time clock, and MAC identity circuit. The CU supervises and controls operational parameters such as gain control and channel handling, alarms, event log, password and logon. It is also a control interface for OM-Online and OMS. Software for the CU can be downloaded from OM-Online, either locally or remotely, or from OMS. 044-05250 Rev A 1-7 AR Standard Repeater Sub Unit Overview CU PCBAs from part # K103/3 handle R2R communications which means the RIA is not required for R2R network. The CU is located in the lower right part of the shielded DIA frame. LED indicators are described in Chapter 2. Directional Coupler (DC) WLI DATA POWER BOOT FAULT OPER Figure 1-3 CU PCBA DC units are used as antenna signal directional couplers. They are located on the left and right side in the lower part of the cabinet if a test port (TEST 30 dB) or an antenna port (MS 20 dB) for an internal RF modem is required. Some repeater configurations lack a DC in the DL, UL or both directions. Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) LNAs are used as uplink and downlink low noise branch amplifiers. They are located in the upper part of the cabinet or in equipped high covers. LNA/UL is located to the left and LNA/DL to the right. Some repeater configurations lack LNAs in the DL, UL or both directions. Duplex filter (DPX) DPXs are located on the cover plate over the amplifier boards. Fiber Optic Unit (FOU) The FOU is an add-on unit for the various repeater models. In the simplest form, the FOU is a metal plate on which a FON PCBA, a DPX and fiber optic connectors are assembled. It can also be configured with combiners, splitters and WDMs to obtain a desired combination of several branches with double or single fiber. The FOU is used in the BMU, RMU and FOR and is mounted on top of the cover plate in the upper part of the repeaters. Fiber Optic Node (FON) The FON is a bi-directional electrical/optical signal converter and a node in either a wire network or a fiber network. It has functionality for:
Electrical and optical signal supervision
Internal and external alarm handling
RS232 interface for local PC control via an O&M software (OM-Online)
Remote control via an O&M software (OM-Online or OMS)
Interface for RCU
Interface for WLI, wire network
Interface for FLI, fiber optic network
Battery backup with charger The FON can be installed in all Powerwave repeaters 1-8 044-05250 Rev A Sub Unit Locations Power Supply Unit (PSU) AR Standard Repeater A PSU is located in the lower center of the cabinet and, if configured, in the lower center of the high cover. Remote Control Unit (RCU) The RCU is an optional communication unit for remote control of repeaters via PSTN or RF modems. RCU types and details are described on page 4-11. Combiner unit (CMB) CMB combiner units are used to combine two different bands. CMB units are located on the cover plate over the amplifier boards. Alarm Interface PCBA (ALI) and Remote Control Interface PCBA (RCI) The ALI handles alarms and alarm communication. It is replace with an RCI if an RCU is used and provides an interface between the CU and an RCU for remote communication via modem. The RCI also handles alarms and alarm communication. Either unit is located in the lower left part of the shielded DIA frame. Repeater-to-Repeater Interface Adapter (RIA) The RIA is required for R2R networking if a previous CU PCBA (K103/2), is used. This PCBA is located in the upper left part of the shielded DIA frame. R2R functionality is included starting in the CU PCBA part # K103/3. Sub Unit Locations The following sections describe the sub unit locations of the different models of AR Repeater and distribution units. CSel GSM Repeater A cabinet for a CSel GSM repeater can be equipped with four CHEs, two for the downlink (DL) with two internal channels each and two for the uplink (UL) with two internal channels each.

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, so the use of a repeater is a better, more cost effective oprion.Two examples are described in the following paragraphs: a shaded valley and an indoor sports arena. 044-05250 Rev A 1-13
AR Standard Repeater Shaded Area Using Repeaters In this example, we have a valley that is shaded by the hills surrounding it. There is a base station 5 kilometers away but the lowest signal strength in the valley is less than 100dBm. A 42 meter mast used for other purposes is located on one of the hills and is available for a repeater installation as illustrated in Figure 1-12. Donor antenna Service antenna Figure 1-13 Repeater coverage of shaded area. The donor antenna was mounted at the top of the mast and the service antenna was mounted at half mast on the other side. Antenna isolation was measured to over 100dB and the repeater was set to 80dB gain. Measured levels:

The nearest base station was 8 kilometers away and was equipped with only one carrier. A donor antenna directed towards the BTS was mounted on a mast outside the building and a repeater was installed inside the building with the service antenna on the ceiling as illustrated in Figure 1-14.

In this simple example, two operators have two sectors each. Each sector is connected to a POI and then to a RCM. The RCM is interconnected with an OCM via coaxial cables. The combined DL and UL signals are converted to optical signals in the OCM and then distributed to the ARs.

Site Survey Powerwave recommends that a site survey be performed prior to equipment ordering or installation. Performing a detailed site survey reduces or eliminates installation and turn-up delays. Pay particular attention to power plant capacity, cooling needs, floor space, and RF/
DC cabling/breaker requirements. Cabinet dimensions, clearance dimensions, and weights are listed in Chapter 5. Unpacking and Inspection This equipment has been operated, tested, and calibrated at the factory. Carefully open containers to remove equipment. Retain all packing material that can be reassembled in the event unit must be returned to the factory. Perform the following steps:
Visually inspect equipment for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If pos-
sible, in the presence of the delivery person.
Check for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or extraneous packing material in connectors. If equipment is damaged, file a claim with the carrier once the extent of any damage is assessed. If equipment must be returned to factory, please contact factory for a Return Material Authorization (RMA). See Chapter 4. Repeater Location Powerwave repeaters are designed with a weather proof outdoor cabinet that can be mounted without any kind of shelter from rain, snow or hail. The same unit can be installed indoors. A preferable site for the repeater is a location free of obstructions, easily accessible and allows for proper air-flow and ventilation. If a repeater is installed outdoor and can be exposed to direct sunshine, it is essential that air can circulate around the repeater with no obstacle. The operating temperature must not exceed 131F (55C). A shelter can be used to shade the repeater from direct sunshine. Never open a repeater when rain, snow, hail, high humidity or high winds are present unless some kind of temporary shelter can be erected. Limitations for very bad weather are found in the next section. Mounting The AR repeater is easy to mount using the provided mounting bracket, illustrated in Figure 3-1, which has 9/16 (14mm) holes for 3/8 (10mm) or 1/2 (12mm) fixing screws. Clamps with C-C measures of 3.5 (90mm), 5.3 (135mm), 5.7 (144mm), 8.1 (205mm), 9.8
(250mm), and 11.8 (300mm) can be used as well. The vertical C-C measure for these are 16.2 (411mm). There is a 9/16 (14mm) single hole in the middle of the mounting bracket, marked A in the figure, which is intended for a locking screw to lock the bracket into place. 044-05250 Rev A 3-1 Mounting AR Standard Repeater A 411 14 90 135 144 205 250 300 Figure 3-1 Mounting bracket Normally, the AR repeater is mounted on a wall, pole or mast.

Tighten the upper and lower mounting screws to secure it into place. Locking cylinders, used to prevent unauthorized removal of the repeater, can be inserted and locked with a key after the lower screws have been tightened. Make sure the donor antenna, directed towards the BTS antenna, and the service antenna, directed towards the area to be covered by the repeater, are mounted and installed properly. Connections Figure 3-5 Attaching the repeater to the bracket This section describes general examples of how to connect the input and output ports on the following repeater types:
RF to RF repeaters
BMU (RF to fiber optics)
RMU (RF to fiber optics)
FOR (fiber optics to RF) Main Power and Grounding Local regulations need to be followed for the main power connection. AR repeaters are approved in accordance with EN and UL/cUL regulations. This is, however, only valid if a classified power cord is used. For the repeater to meet these regulations you must select one of the following classified and approved cord types:
EN H 05 W5 - F HMR
UL AWM Style 2587
CSA AWM 1 A/B 11 A/B For outdoor use, the power cord should meet at least IP65 encapsulation requirements. Do not turn the main power on until you are ready to commission the repeater WARNING: For repeaters supplied from the main power source, the main outlet must be grounded. 3-4 044-05250 Rev A AR Standard Repeater Connections RF-to-RF Repeater Connections Figure 3-6 illustrates the cable connections applicable for standard and high power repeaters and Table 3-1 describes the steps for making the connections.

A jumper is required between pins 1 and 2 on the RCI if the P130 cable connector is disconnected. If a main power failure occurs, the unit has a battery with enough capacity for sending a number of alarms. Previous RCU versions have been replaced by the current type. The repeaters are compatible with the previous version. Differences apply to the connections of the previous version where data was transferred between the repeater and the RCU via the P32 modem port on the DIA and was powered via the P27 auxiliary port on the DIA. RCU for Radio Communication The RCU antenna for a radio modem is connected to the BS antenna via the uplink DC, provided the RCU and the repeater operate in the same cell system. Otherwise, the modem must have a separate antenna. Data is transferred between the repeater and the RCU via the P130 modem port on the RCI or FON. The RCU is also powered via the same port and has a battery with enough capacity to send a number of alarms if a main power failure occurs. RCU for Telephone Line Communication The land line version uses a telephone line connected to a terminal block on the RCU. A free strain relief bushing at the bottom of the repeater is used for the external telephone line cable. Previous RCU Version for GSM 900/1800/1900 This description is for reference use only. This RCU is replaced by the current version and consists of an integrated mobile phone/modem, power supply and power supply backup. It was located inside the repeater cabinet, in front of the PSU as illustrated in Figure 4-2. DC DPX TEST

This diagram is applicable to repeaters for the GSM, DCS, and PCS systems. The signal from the base station is received via the repeater donor antenna and then forwarded through a DC, used as an antenna port only if an RF modem is used. The signal passes a DPX, is amplified in a LNA, and enters the CHEs which have two parallel channels each. The first mixer stage on the CHE, 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 amplified before it is fed to the second mixer stage for conversion back to the original frequency. 044-05250 Rev A A-1 CSel CDMA/WCDMA Repeater AR Standard Repeater The output signal from the mixer is then amplified in the PA and fed to a combiner which combines the signals from the two channels on the CSA The output signal passes a CMB and DPX before it is fed to the repeater service antenna.

The signal from the base station is received via the repeater donor antenna and is forwarded through a DC, used as antenna port only if an RF modem is used. The signal passes a DPX, is amplified in a LNA, and enters the CSA which has two parallel channels. The first mixer stage on the CSA, 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 amplified before it is fed to the second mixer stage for conversion back to the original frequency. The following amplifier on the CSA is controlled by the CU. The output gain can be reduced to avoid instability due to poor antenna isolation by means of a gain control in the CU. The gain control also affects other amplification stages. The output signal from the amplifier is fed to a combiner which combines the signals from the two channels on the CSA. The signal from the CSA is amplified on the PA and then fed to a DPX or, in high power CDMA repeaters, to a BA. The amplified output signal passes the DPX before it is fed to the repeater service antenna. In high power CDMA or WCDMA repeaters, a BA boosts the output DL signal from the PA by typically 6dB. The amplified signal is fed to the DPX at the service port. Only the DL path has a BA which is powerwed by a second PSU.

This diagram is applicable to repeaters for e.g. GSM, TACS, ETACS, AMPS, DAMPS, CDMA and WCDMA systems. The signal from the base station is received via the repeater donor antenna and is then forwarded through a DC, used as antenna port only if an RF modem is used. The signal passes a DPX, is amplified in a LNA, and enters the BSA. The first mixer stage on the BSA, 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 amplified before it is fed to the second mixer stage for conversion back to the original frequency. The BSA has adjustable bandwidth and the SAW filter combination can be software changed from OM-Online (or OMS). The following PA is controlled by the CU. The amplifier gain will be reduced to avoid instability due to poor antenna isolation. A detector on the PA measures the output level continuously. 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 also affects other amplification stages. The output signal from the PA at P5 passes a DPX before it is fed to the repeater service antenna. 044-05250 Rev A A-3 BMU BMU AR Standard Repeater TEST 30 dB BTS DC BS ANT DPX MS 20 dB RCU P130 PSU FOU FON DPX ANT HI LO P101 P102 TX RX FLI P130 P106 P109 P111 P112 FOR WRH WLI WLI Figure A-4 BMU Block Diagram Figure A-4 illustrates a block diagram of a BMU. The BMU has to be located adjacent to the BTS as the base station antenna signal passes through the BMU. Features controlled by the CU, ALI and RCI PCBAs in standard repeaters are controlled here by the FON which has the required functionality and the FLI function built-in. The base station antenna signal is fed through a DC inside the BMU. The signal from the MS
-20dB port enters the FOU by passing a DPX. The downlink path (HI) is then fed to the FON which converts the RF signal to an optic signal. The optical signal from the TX output is sent via fiber optic cables to a FOR.
