The Hub Shelf is the HUB SHELF which is a 3U (5.25 inch) high, 19 inch wide rack-mounted chassis. The HUB SHELF holds up to 8 HUB TRANSCEIVER Plug-Ins. The Hub Shelf is located in a communications equipment room in the building and is connected to the cellular/PCS base station or repeater via hardline connection. The Hub Shelf may 1-2 also be connected to the radios of a wireless PBX. Each Hub Shelf is configured with up to eight HUB TRANSCEIVER plug-in cards. Each card is connected to up to two Remote Transceivers. The REMOTE TRANSCEIVER Units are distributed throughout the building as necessary to provide coverage. The Remote Transceivers are mounted, generally, above the suspended ceiling but may be mounted near the ceiling inside the room if need be. The aesthetic and low-profile design of the Remote Power Supply makes it relatively unobtrusive. The plastic cover may even be removed and/or painted to match the décor. Each REMOTE TRANSCEIVER is connected to Hub Shelf via two singlemode optical fibers. Each REMOTE TRANSCEIVER has one RF port which is connected to a user-supplied indoor coverage antenna. This port may also be routed through an N-way RF splitter to provide coverage from a number N antennas for the one Remote Transceiver. This reduces the output power and sensitivity at that Remote Transceiver but, in some cases, this could be the most cost-effective way to provide unifirm coverage. The REMOTE TRANSCEIVER is powered by +12 to 24 VDC which can be supplied by the customer or by the Remote Power Supply. This is a universal AC power supply with battery backup and is installed with the REMOTE TRANSCEIVER on a wall mounting bracket supplied with the unit. If DC power is supplied by the customer, it can be distributed from a power supply at the Hub location using the conductor pairs in a composite fiber/conductor cable. The DC connector utilized at the Remote Transceiver can accommodate up to 14 AWG wire. The OFFICECELL design is very versatile but certain options are available that target specific signal types and applications. In addition to the single band versions, there is an 800 MHz/1900 MHz dual band and a GSM900/GSM1800 dual band option. There is also a high power 800MHz and GSM900 option. This option provides a +22 dBm single carrier output for GSM900 or, for 800 MHz, 10 carriers of IS-136 at +10 dBm/carrier or +12 dBm for single carrier CDMA. The system performance is specified for 4 dB optical loss. OFFICECELL installation and setup is very simple. First, standard telcom grade singlemode fiberoptic cable that is most suitable for the site is installed. The cable installer can terminate the cable on site easily with the OptoClip optical connectors. The Plug-Ins and Remote Transceivers of a given type are completely interchangeable. The OptoClip plugs directly into the Remote Transceiver at one end. The other end plugs into an optical patch panel or directly into the Hub Shelf via an OptoClip-to-SC/UPC adapter. If the patch panel is used, OptoClip-to-SC/UPC jumpers must be used to connect the HUB SHELF to the patch panel. Built-in optical loss compensation automatically equalizes the gain in both the transmit and receive paths so the transmit RF power is known for a given input RF power and the receive path sensitivity is optimized. The only adjustment available is a manual setting for the static transmit power at the Remote Transceiver which may be used to optimize coverage, if necessary. This is a one time adjustment during set up. 1.2.1 Basic Principles The OFFICECELL operation is based on an analog RF fiberoptic link. The principles are illustrated in Figure 1. Input RF signals are converted to light by direct intensity modulation of a semiconductor laser. This modulated light is transmitted over optical fiber and detected by a semiconductor PIN Figure 0.

Preliminary and final radiated emission measurements were performed inside a semi-anechoic chamber with all digital signal generators on and . The frequency list from the preliminary measurements was used as a guide for making final measurements in the semi-anechoic chamber. The unit was scanned over the frequency range of 30MHz to 20 GHz. The Radiated Spurious Emissions Limit is obtained by the following: Based on an output power (as measured at the output of the Amplifier) of 0.22 watts: P o = 0.22 W As per 2.993 (a), it is assumed this power is to be fed to a half-wave tuned dipole. Using a conversion formula for distance, the field strength at one meter can be derived: As per 22.917(e), the spurious emissions must be attenuated by 43 + 10log(P) which is: Therefore, the limit for spurious emissions is: At 3 meters measurement distance, the limit is; According to 22.917(e), all signals must be attenuated by 49 dB.

Mathematical calculations indicate that these field strengths yield radiated power levels greater than 30 dB below the -13 dBm limit for spurious emissions from the transmitter portion of the EUT calculated above.
