Response to TCB questions FCC ID: KUWINCELL1900 -----Original Message----- From: Certification Manager [SMTP:[email protected] ] Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 3:35 PM To: Tom Tidwell; Davida Hanson Subject: KUWINCELL1900 Dear Tom and Davida, We have the following issues to resolve to grant this application: 1. Please tell me the frequency range for the modulation type NADC. This information is missing from the 731. Answer by Tom Tidwell: The frequency range is 1930.03 - 1989.970 MHz. 2. Please provide a block diagram for the unit. Also, the files represented in the confidentiality letter as Block-Amps...pdf have not been submitted. Is this on purpose? Answer by Tom Tidwell: The block diagrams attached here are for the AMPS Cellular version of the unit. The manufacturer does not have the diagrams for PCS. The diagrams are exactly the same except that they are labeled as AMPS instead of PCS and they reference the 800 MHz band. The AMPS and PCS versions of these units are identical except for the SAW filter. If you think it is necessary to change these, I can get the manufacturer to send updated ones as soon as they are available. <<Block-AMPS_System.pdf<<Block-Amps_CDU.pdf <<Block-Amps_rau.pdf<<Block-Amps_PDU.pdf Best regards Barry C.

Circuit Description Central Distribution Unit (CDU) The CDU is connected to a Repeater, BDA, or BTS via coaxial cable. The Downlink (Base-to- Mobile) transmit path is distributed to Remote Antenna Units (RAU). PDU card - The rf input signal is distributed to individual CDU cards (up to six per unit) via the Power Distribution (PDU) Board, which consists of simple passive power dividers. Also located on the PDU card is a pilot oscillator that simply generates a pilot tone that is filtered in the Remote Antenna Unit (RAU) and used to verify the rf link. This pilot tone is never transmitted wirelessly. CDU card - In the Downlink direction the CDU card consists of a SAW filter and rf to laser conversion module. Once the rf signal has been converted to light, it is distributed to a Remote Antenna Unit (RAU) via fiber cable. In the Uplink direction, the CDU card simply performs the opposite function. The optic signal fed from the RAU uplink output is converted to rf, amplified, filtered, and finally passed to the PDU card where it will be sent to the external repeater, BDA, or BTS equipment via coaxial cable. Remote Antenna Unit (RAU) In the Downlink direction, the RAU receives the optic signal from the CDU and converts it to rf. At this stage a Low Pass filter sends the pilot tone to a Pilot Detection Circuit, The intended transmit signal is sent through a two-stage amplifier/filter circuit. The resulting signal is fed through a passive duplexer and finally sent to an external antenna via coaxial cable. The external antenna gain is typically 12 dB maximum. In the Uplink direction, the RAU receives an rf signal from the mobile via the external antenna. The rf signal is processed through a filter/gain control circuit through to a rf-to-optic conversion circuit. The optic signal is the sent to the CDU via fiber optic cable.

Tuning Procedure The InCell is not frequency tunable by the user. The frequency band of operation is determined at the factory by the selection of SAW filter components. The rf power output is set upon installation by the use of a power meter. The rf input/output to the InCell CDU is connected directly to the output of a repeater or base station. The output level of these devices is controlled by automatic gain circuitry. The RAU also uses AGC to control the rf output level to the antenna. This level is set upon installation so that it will never exceed +16 dBm.

Given the above information, the manufacturer recommends a minimum separation distance of 20 cm. and maximum antenna gain of 21 dBi. Prediction of MPE limit at a given distance Equation from page 18 of OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 where:S = power density P = power input to the antenna G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenn Maximum peak output power at antenna input terminal:16.00(dBm) Maximum peak output power at antenna input terminal:39.81072(mW) Maximum antenna gain:12(dBi) Maximum antenna gain:15.84893(numeric) Prediction distance:20(cm) Prediction frequency:1900(MHz) MPE limit for uncontrolled exposure at prediction frequency:1(mW/cm^2) Power density at prediction frequency:0.125525(mW/cm^2) Maximum allowable antenna gain:21.0127(dBi) 2 4R PG S π =

The system operates with a direct connection in the uplink direction. The system is made up of two components: 1) CDU (Central Distribution Unit) - This unit is typically located in a wiring closet. Each CDU can interface to six RAU (Remote Antenna Units). The CDU collects and distributes voice and data signals through fiber cable pairs. The CDU connects to the output of a repeater unit. The Uplink direction is a directly wired connection and cannot connect directly to an antenna. The transmit signals from the repeater are converted from rf to optical and distributed via the fiber cables to a RAU. 1) RAU (Remote Antenna Unit) - This unit converts the signal received from the CDU back to rf and transmits the rf to subscriber units within its coverage range. Conversely it receives the rf signals transmitted by the subscriber units, converts the rf to an optical signal and sends it to the CDU via fiber. The overall rf gain of the system in the downlink direction is nominally 15 dB. RAU Patch Antenna CDU Repeater KTL Dallas FCC PART 24, SUBPART E BROADBAND PCS REPEATERS …
