Operational Description

RF Exposure Info

In-Hancer Plus BDA z USER MANUAL Printed: 03.08.01,15:54 Revision Date:8/1/03 5 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 D1D2 A1 A2 SIGNAL TAP SIGNAL TAP COAXIAL CABLE N N - 1 B F1 F2 KAVAL 800/900 MHz BDA 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).

In-Hancer Plus BDA z USER MANUAL DCM000000105 Printed: 03.08.01,15:54 Revision Date:8/1/03 25 • 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 10 dB. 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 10 meters of the Antenna. • 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 10 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.
