SUB-UNIT MODULES 5.1 Bandpass Filters (02-007201 & 01-002503) 5.1.1 Description The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the passband frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is basically Chebyshev with a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of slot coupled, folded combline design, and are carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss, VSWR and intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated to reduce surface ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50Ω load at the input and output ports. Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life and require no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the module rather than attempt repair or re-tuning. 5.1.2 Technical Specification (02-007201) PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Response Type Chebyshev Frequency Range: 800 - 950MHz (tuned to spec.) Bandwidth: 10-25MHz (tuned to spec.) Number of Sections: 8 Insertion Loss: 1.0 dB VSWR: better than 1.2:1 Power Handling: 100W max operation: -10°C to +60°C Temperature range: storage: -20°C to +70°C Weight: 3 kg (typical) 5.1.3 Technical Specification (01-002503) SPECIFICATION PARAMETER Response type: Chebyshev Frequency range: 135 – 250MHz Bandwidth: 3.5MHz (tuned to spec.)

Any unused ports will be terminated with an appropriate 50Ω load. Being passive devices, the splitters should have an extremely long operational life and require no maintenance. Should a unit be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the whole module rather than attempt repair or re-tuning.

Any unused ports will be terminated with an appropriate 50Ω load. 5.3.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency Range: 100 - 520 MHz Bandwidth: 380 MHz Inputs: 1 Outputs: 2 Insertion Loss: 3.5 dB (typical) Isolation: >18 dB Return Loss (VSWR) – Input: Better than 1.3:1 Return Loss (VSWR) – Output: Better than 1.3:1 Impedance: 50 Ω Power Rating – Splitter: 20 Watts Power Rating – Combiner: 1.0 Watt Connectors: SMA female Size: 54 x 44 x 21 mm (including connectors) Weight: 200 gm (approximately) 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:- A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:- 52 of 88 5.4 Four Way Splitter (05-003302) 5.4.1 Description The Splitter/Combiner used is a device for accurately matching two or more RF signals to single or multiple ports, whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all inputs/outputs and ensuring that the VSWR and insertion losses are kept to a minimum.

800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:- A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:- 11 of 88 1.3 RF Radiation Hazard RF radiation, (especially at UHF frequencies) arising from transmitter outputs connected to AFL’s equipment, must be considered a safety hazard. This condition might only occur in the event of cable disconnection, or because a ‘spare’ output has been left unterminated. Either of these conditions would impair the system’s efficiency. No investigation should be carried out until all RF power sources have been removed. This would always be a wise precaution, despite the severe mismatch between the impedance of an N type connector at 50Ω, and that of free space at 377Ω, which would severely mitigate against the efficient radiation of RF power. Radio frequency burns could also be a hazard, if any RF power carrying components were to be carelessly touched! Antenna positions should be chosen to comply with requirements (both local & statutory) regarding exposure of personnel to RF radiation. When connected to an antenna, the unit is capable of producing RF field strengths, which may exceed guideline safe values especially if used with antennas having appreciable gain. In this regard the use of directional antennas with backscreens and a strict site rule that personnel must remain behind the screen while the RF power is on, is strongly recommended. Where the equipment is used near power lines, or in association with temporary masts not having lightning protection, the use of a safety earth connected to the case-earthing bolt is strongly advised.
