ALLGON System ABAR Repeaters & OMTIntroduction Introduction Allgon repeaters are used to fill out uncovered areas in cellular mobile systems, such as base station fringe areas, road tunnels, busirEss and industrial buildings, etc. A repeater receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the signals to mobile stations. Also it receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both directions are served simultaneously. To be able to receive and transmit signals in both directions, the repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area to be covered. Operation of the repeaters is performed using a desktop or notebook and the Allgon OMT (Operation & Maintenance Terminal) which communicate, locally or remotely via modem, with the repeaters. There is also an Allgon OMC (Operation & Maintenance Center), which is intended to be used to run many Allgon AR repeaters. The repeaters and the OMIT is described in this manual. The OMC is described in the Advanced Repeater 0MG, User’s Manual. User’s Manua~ VD2O1 17/ENRev. 4B 19c8-032-1 Figure 2-1. Allgon AR Repeater InstallationAR Repeaters & OMTALLGON System AB Installing 24 Volt or 48 Volt DC Power Supply Unit You can replace an AC PSU with a 24 Volt or 48 Volt DC PSU as follows: 1.Switch the repeater off and remove the mains plug from the PSU, if not already done (1 in Figure 3-9). 2.Disconnect the two connectors on the PSU. 3.Loosen the three fixing screws using a 5mm Allen key. 4.Remove the PSU from the repeater. 5.Mount the 24/48 Volt DC PSU with the three fixing screws (3). 6.Connect the PSU to the DIA board (2). 7.Connect the DC power cable. The supplied cable has a radiation limiter which is a requirement for the 24/48 Volt unit to be type approved. The cable shall be connected as follows: The + pole shall be connected to one of the left terminals in the PSU connector with the BROWN part of the DC cable. The — pole shall be connected to one of the right terminals in the PSU connector with the BLUE part of the DC cable. 8.When the connection is completed, switch the repeater on. 9.Make sure the yellow LED is lit on the PSU. The DC Power Supply Unit must be galvanically separated from the mains supply with an equipment fulfilling the 1EC65 safety requirements. 3 - 14Rev. 48 W98-03User’s Manual VD2O1 171EN Figure 3-9.

Band selective configuration The left-hand part of the configuration window contains downlink information (BSA board #1 and PA board #1 located to the left in the cabinet or cover). The right-hand part of the configuration window contains uplink information (BSA board #2 and PA board #2 located to the right in the cabinet or cover). The downmost line indicates current band width and the band width status (fixed or adjustable). Fixed band width operation For repeaters equipped with fixed band width BSA boards, the following three fields are changeable: Downlink:Gain Uplink:Set low band edge Gain The values in the remaining fields are automatically calculated from the band width and the uplink/downlink frequency difference. Adjustable band width operation For repeaters equipped with adjustable band width BSA boards, the uplink ‘Set high band edge’ field is also available and changeable.

The PA boards and the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) are turned off when the band selective repeater is switched off. ‘Downlink’ section Low band edge Displays the downlink low band edge related to the uplink low band edge. The difference is depending on the system duplex spacing. High band edge The downlink high band edge related to the band width. Gain The maximum downlink gain, i.e. the total gain from antenna port to antenna port. Setting range: 45dB to 90dB ‘UpIink’ section Set low band edge The lower band edge for the uplink signal. The band edge frequency can be increased or decreased by clicking the arrow buttons. The frequency is changed in 12.5KHz steps. Values can be typed into the field as well. Setting range for this field is depending on the system and BSA boards. Set high band edge For fixed BSA boards, this field displays the uplink high band edge related to the band width. This band edge cannot be changed solely. For adjustable BSA boards, this field is changeable and affects thus the uplink high band edge and thereby the band width. Gain The maximum uplink gain, i.e. the total gain from antenna port to antenna port.

Radiated emissions measurements were performed on a three-meter open area test site (OATS).

The EUT with host external computer was configured for maximum signl gain and bandwidth. In addition, the EUT was operated in a manner representative of the typical usage of the equipment. During all testing, system components were manipulated within the confines of typical usage to maximize each emission. 5.0TEST TYPE(S) 5.1Radiated Emissions: 47CFR2.993, 90.210(h), and 90.691(a) 5.2Occupied Bandwidth: 47CFR2.989 5.3RF Power Output: 47CFR 2.985, 90.205(i), and 90.635 5.4Spurious Emission at Antenna Terminals:(uplink & downlink) 47CFR 2.991, 90.210(h), 90.691(a) 5.5Intermodulations Spurious Emissions-3 Tone Somultaneous RF Injection (uplink & downlink): 47CFR2.991, 90.210(h), and 90.691(a) 5.6Line conducted Emissions: 47CFR15.107(b) FCC ID: L6GAR4600 EMI1135A- 4 -January 7, 1999 6.0TEST RESULTS 6.1TEST TYPE: Radiated Emissions 6.1.1 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION:2.993(a); 90.210(h); 90.691(a) 6.1.2 TEST DATE(S):27 and 28 Oct 1998 6.1.3 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES: As required by §2.993, field strength of spurious radiation measurements were made in accordance with the general procedures of ANSI C63.4-1992 "Methods of Measurement of Radio- Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9kHz to 40 GHz". Preliminary radiated emission measurements were performed inside a shielded chamber with a digital signal generator on and terminated. The frequency list from the preliminary measurements were used as a guide for making final measurements on an 10 meter open area test site. The unit was scanned over the frequency range of 9 kHz to 9 Ghz. The Radiated Spurious Emissions Limit is obtained by the following: Based on an input power (as measured at the output of the Amplifier) of 2 watts: P o = 2 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 90.691(a), the spurious emissions must be attenuated by 43 + log(P) which is: Therefore, the limit for spurious emissions is: At 3 meters measurement distance, the limit is; Again, according to 90.691, all signals must be attenuated by 46.01dB; Therefore, the limit for spurious emissions for a test distance of 3 meters is: Install Equation Editor and double- click here to view equation.
