iii Overview In-Hancer Plus BDA USER MANUAL Introduction The In-Hancer Plus family is a modular Bi-Directional Amplifier product. Bi-

Directional Amplifiers (BDAs) are radio frequency amplifiers that amplify signals in two directions. There are two basic BDA Applications; "Line Amplifiers" and Off-

Air. Line Amplifiers are low gain (40 dB typical), while Off-Air are high gain (80 dB typical). The In-Hancer Plus does NOT have separate models for these two applications, but rather uses non volatile memory and software settings for gain. Line Amplifier BDA's An In-building RF distribution system takes on one of several forms including, but limited to, radiating cable, distributed tapped radiators, or high power repeater antennas. For an in-building RF distribution system that requires some gain to compensate for the system loss, Line Amplifier BDA's are best for the job. Line Amplifiers provide amplification of RF signals to recover signal loss contributed by radiating cable and other system components. The Figure below shows an example of a Tunnel RF Distribution System using Line Amplifiers. The system consists of Line Amplifiers strategically inserted between radiating cables. As the RF signal travels along the radiating cable, it loses signal strength. Line Amplifiers compensate for the RF loss by amplifying the signal back to the desired signal strength before sending it down the next distribution section, thus maintaining in-building RF seamless coverage. Printed: 03.10.14,09:37 Revision Date:10/14/03 4 In-Hancer Plus BDA USER MANUAL Off-Air Operation BDA's Off-Air BDA's are intended to extend coverage into areas with coverage deficiency such as inside office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, etc. They are designed to be located independently of the donor site and must be equipped with their own antenna systems - one to communicate with the donor site and the other(s) to communicate with portables in the shadow zone. A typical in-building coverage extension system is shown below. The "Head-End" BDA is responsible for the amplification of both incoming Off-Air downlink signals and outgoing uplink signals. The in-building distribution antenna system comprises of Coaxial cable, Signal taps, splitters and antennas to extend coverage on every floor, basement and underground parking garage. ROOF TOP ANTENNA FROM / TO DONOR TRANSMITTER KAVAL 800/900 MHz BDA D1 A1 A2 D2 COAXIAL CABLE SIGNAL TAP SIGNAL TAP F1 F2 N N - 1 B This distributed antenna system is based on Kaval Wireless Technologies Tapped Radiator RF signal distribution approach. The technology makes use of coaxial cable with Signal Taps strategically located and connected to Omni-directional ground plane antennas. This technology offers flexibility in system design, installation and optimization. Once the RF cable backbone has been installed, additional signal taps and antennas can quickly and easily be added to a live system, without the need to take the system out of service. Hence, new coverage areas can be added, or the system can easily be modified if the layout should change (e.g. modernization retrofits or process modifications).

This intermodulation may cause interference to receiving equipment. In order to minimize Intermodulation signals, Power de-

rating must be applied. In the USA there are FCC Intermodulation Specifications published in the EIA Standard PN2009. The second requirement is de-rating to maintain the integrity of complex digital communications signals. The Tables below gives the maximum per channel Output Levels allowed as a function of the number of channels. Note that depending on the actual input levels, the gain may need to be reduced. The figures shown are to the nearest dB, and are for the 800-900MHz In-

Hancer Plus BDA's. For UHF Models a further de-rating of 2dB is required. Complex Carriers (output levels) FM Carriers (output levels)

Printed: 03.10.14,09:37 Revision Date:10/14/03 24 Antenna Installation In-Hancer Plus BDA USER MANUAL DCM000000105 All Antenna Installation to be performed by Qualified Technical Personnel only. Antenna Installation Instructions and locations below are for the purpose of satisfying FCC RF Exposure Compliance requirements. The Roof Top Antenna or Antennae for linking to the Donor Site(s) is/are directional (high gain) Antennae, fixed-mounted physically on the side or top of a building, or on a tower. The Antenna Gain must be no more than 20 dBi. The Roof Top Antennae location should be such that only Qualified Technical Personnel can access it, and that under normal operating conditions no other person can touch the Antenna, or approach within 7 meters of the Antenna. For the Cellular Uplink Band (824-849 MHz) the Roof Top Antenna or Antennae for linking to the Donor Site(s) has the added restriction that the Effective Radiated Power (ERP) must not exceed 7 Watts (+38 dBm). Thus, if the AGC is set (as per the Carrier De-Rating Chart) to +28dBm as an example, the maximum allowed Antenna Gain must be no more than 10 dBi. The In-Building Antenna connection is via a coaxial cable distribution system with Signal Taps at various points connected to the fixed-mounted Indoor Antennae. This is shown in the figure in the Introduction. The Indoor Antennae are simple 1/4 Wavelength (0 dB Gain) types. They are used with KAVAL WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES 12, 16, or 20 dB Cable Taps. As such the maximum EIRP will be at the first Tapped Antenna, which will be 12 dB below the maximum signal level of the BDA (+40 dBm); +28 dBm, or 0.63 Watts EIRP. These Antennae are to be installed such that no person can touch the Antenna, or approach within 0.2 Meters. ANTENNA INSTALLATION WARNING ALL ANTENNA INSTALLATION IS TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL ONLY. ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LOCATIONS ARE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SATISFYING FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS, AND ARE NOT OPTIONAL. ALL ROOF TOP ANTENNA INSTALLATION MUST BE SUCH THAT NO PERSON CAN TOUCH THE ANTENNA, OR APPROACH CLOSER THAN 7 METERS. ALL IN-BUILDING ANTENNAE INSTALLATIONS MUST BE SUCH THAT NO PERSON CAN TOUCH THE ANTENNAE, OR APPROACH CLOSER THAN 0.2 METERS. Please consult Kaval Wireless for assistance as required.
