Specifications may vary from those given in this document in accordance with requirements of local authorities. RF Technology equipment is subject to continual improvement and RF Technology reserves the right to change performance and specification without further notice. 1 Operating Instructions The IP • PA500AH is part of the Eclipse2 range of modular base station equipment. It is a broadband Solid State Internet Protocol RF Power Amplifier (SS • IP • PA) capable of delivering over 100 Watts in the UHF frequency range. It is designed to complement the Eclipse2 Software Defined Radio (SDR), and mounts in a standard Eclipse sub-rack. 1.1 Installation There are no front panel controls. In normal circumstances no alignment or setup is required. If mounted in a sub-rack that has not previously been wired for a power amplifier, the rack connector must be wired according to the guidelines in section 1.1.1 below. 1.1.1 Sub-rack Wiring Guidelines When installing an Eclipse Power Amplifier in an Eclipse sub-rack, observe the following guidelines for sub-rack installation: The sub-rack power supply must be capable of delivering the full current requirements for all modules fitted in the sub-rack, typically 20 Amperes for a 100W basestation/amplifier. Owing to the current drain, power supply lines should be cabled to the power amplifier separately and using heavy gauge wire to minimise voltage drop and interference via the power supply of other modules in the rack. E2-IP-PA 500AH RF Technology • Page 5 1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1.3 Internal Adjustments 1 .2 Front Panel Indicators PWR LED The power (PWR) LED shows that the dc supply is connected to the amplifier. RFO LED The RF output (RFO) LED indicates that the amplifier is being driven and there is forward RF power present at the output. ALARM LED The alarm (ALARM) LED illuminates if the internal temperature rises above safe limits or high reverse power is present, output power is automatically reduced in order to protect the amplifier. 1.3 Internal Adjustments All internal adjustments are factory set and should not need to be changed under normal conditions. A possible exception to this is the RF output power level which may need to be changed to comply with local licensing requirements. WARNING Ensure that the power setting complies with the requirements of your licensing authority. Failure to do so may result in penalties being imposed by the licensing authority. Output Power The output power is set by RV1. This is nominally set to 100 Watts (+50dBm), but may be set to any value between 1 and 120 Watts depending upon local regulations in the destination country, and the model of power amplifier. 1.4 Amplifier I/O Connections The IP • PA500AH has four connectors on the rear panel. E2-IP-PA 500BH Page 6 RF Technology 2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 1.4.1 RF Input The RF drive is delivered via the BNC connector. Input drive level is 2 Watts, the absolute maximum power that should be applied to this connector is 4 Watts. 1.4.2 RF Output The RF output signal is available from an N-type connector. The input/output impedance is 50 ohms. 1.4.3 25 Pin Connector The 25-pin “D” connector provides connection to ground and dc power. The pin connections are given in table 1. 1.4.4 RJ45 Ethernet Connector The RJ45 connector is used to monitor and configure a range of parameters remotely using the Internet Protocol over Ethernet. Pins Function 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 16, 17 Positive supply 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 22, 23, 24, 25 Ground (negative supply) Table 1: Pin connections for the 25 pin “D” connector on the rear panel 2 Circuit Description The following descriptions should be read as an aid to understanding the diagrams shown in figures A.1 and A.2. 2.1 Amplifiers The RF power amplification is provided by two RF MOSFET modules, U15 and U16. Module technology is used in this amplifier to guarantee superior reliability, this technology has been field proven in tens of millions of radios over the past 25 years. Each module is rated at 60 watts output. The input and output impedances are internally matched to 50 Ohms. The 50W models have only has module fitted.

Type of Confidentiality Requested Permanent Permanent Permanent Short Term Permanent Short Term Exhibit Block Diagrams Inte rnal Photos Operation Description/Theory of Operation Parts List & Placement/BOM IP Pow er Amplifer Manual Schematics Test Setup Photos Explaination as to Confidentiality RF Technology has spent 4 years and substantial effort in developing this product as a software designed radio it is one of the first in our knowledge of its kind. The uniqueness of the programmability of the features and different protocols by software and using IP as its core characteristic is an industry first. A number of the features use techniques and sophisticated algorithms that are patentable however we donot have the resources to pursue these. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate this advantage. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship which in all likelihood would destroy the company. The internal photos are not accessible by unauthorized parties as one of the screw ports is rivited closed and seal is added which cannot be removed without damage. Permanent Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. Short-Term Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of 180 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. Applicant is also aware that they are responsible to notify the FCC or Timco Engineering Inc in the event information regarding the product or the product is made available to the public. The documents listed above would then be released for public disclosure pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 04-1705. NOTE for Industry Canada Applications: The applicant understands that until such time that IC distinguishes between Short Term and Permanent Confidentiality, either type of marked exhibit above will simply be marked Confidential when submitted to IC.
