Weehawken Tunnel VHF Repeater System User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook Nō.-Weehawken_VHF Issue No:-A Date:-05/08/05 Page:- 13 of 75 2. OVERVIEW/ SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 General System Description The Weehawken tunnel radio system is designed to amplify various bands of radio frequencies, in either channelised or band selective modes. This handbook is dedicated to the VHF radio repeating system. All the hardware (except the River Portal remote BDA) is built into standard 19” rack mounted cabinets which have an environmental IP rating of 54. The systems in this document will be described separately, as individual shelves (VHF) and the various passive combiners, splitters and cross-band coupler shelves will be described in other documents. Every active module in the entire system has a dedicated alarm and these are series wired within the shelves to a relay which gives a volt-free output pair for each shelf which is wired to a ‘krone-block’ termination in the rack cabinet.

BAND SELECTIVE VHF CELL ENHANCERS 4.1 VHF Simplex BDA (55-154701) 4.1.1 VHF Simplex BDA Description The simplex shelves are part of the VHF amplification and have crystal filters instead of bandpass filters to set bandwidths. There are two downlink bands and three uplink bands, the downlink paths having isolators fitted to each of the 5Watt output stages to prevent two outputs from interfering with each other. All amplifiers have built-in alarms which are configured as a summary, volt-free relay contact pair terminating at pins 1 & 2 on the ‘D’ type alarm connector. Note that the control circuitry is omitted from the system diagram for reasons of clarity and simplification. 4.1.2 VHF Simplex BDA Electrical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION 153.75-155.3MHz (Downlink1) 159.0-161.0MHz (Downlink2) 153.75-155.3MHz (Uplink1) 158.85-159.3MHz (Uplink2) Frequency range: 161.5-162.0MHz (Uplink) Gain: >90dB Gain Adjustment: 0 – 15dB (in 1dB step) Uplink Power: >5.0Watts Downlink Power: >5.0Watts Uplink +48dBm IP3: Downlink +48dBm Noise Figure: <6dB AGC level: -2dBm (uplink & downlink) 23dB (downlink) Channel module gain: 24dB (uplink) VSWR: better than 1.5:1 RF Connectors: N type, female operational: -10°C to +55°C Temperature range: storage: -40°C to +70°C 1 U/L amplifiers 2 D/L amplifiers Alarms Fitted: (volt-free contacts/TTL) 3 Channel module Weehawken Tunnel VHF Repeater System User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook Nō.-Weehawken_VHF Issue No:-A Date:-05/08/05 Page:- 20 of 75 4.1.3 VHF Simplex BDA Mechanical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Height:Standard Eurorack Width:19" (482.6mm) Rack Depth:600mm (800 optional) Height: 3U Width: 19" (482.6mm) Shelves: Depth: <400mm(excluding heatsinks, connectors, handles and feet) operational: -10°C to +55°C Temperature range: storage: -40°C to +70°C Weight: <15kg Humidity: 10 – 90% non-condensing RF Connectors: N type female Environmental Protection: IP54 Case: Alocrom 1200 Heatsinks: Matt black Handles: Silver anodised alloy Finish: Fascia Painted to RAL 7035 Supply Cable: Unit supplied with suitable supply input leads, connector and specified length of cable (where appropriate) Weehawken Tunnel VHF Repeater System User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook Nō.-Weehawken_VHF Issue No:-A Date:-05/08/05 Page:- 24 of 75 4.2 VHF Duplex BDA (55-154801) 4.2.1 VHF Duplex BDA Description The duplex shelves are part of the VHF amplification and like the simplex shelves, have crystal filters instead of bandpass filters to set bandwidths. There are two downlink bands and three uplink bands, the downlink paths having isolators fitted to each of the 5Watt output stages to prevent reflections from interfering with the other channel. The uplink channel module has a dedicated noise muting circuit fitted externally to the channel module which operates when the downlink path is active. All amplifiers have built-in alarms which are configured as a summary, volt-free relay contact pair terminating at pins 1 & 2 on the ‘D’ type alarm connector. 4.2.2 VHF Duplex BDA Electrical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION 153.75-155.3MHz (Downlink1) 159.0-161.0MHz (Downlink2) 153.75-155.3MHz (Uplink1) 158.85-159.3MHz (Uplink2) Frequency range: 161.5-162.0MHz (Uplink) Gain: >90dB Gain Adjustment: 0 – 15dB (in 1dB step) Uplink Power: >5.0Watts Downlink Power: >5.0Watts Uplink +48dBm IP3: Downlink +48dBm Noise Figure: <6dB AGC level: -2dBm (uplink & downlink) 23dB (downlink) Channel module gain: 24dB (uplink) VSWR: better than 1.5:1 RF Connectors: N type, female operational: -10°C to +55°C Temperature range: storage: -40°C to +70°C 1 U/L amplifiers 2 D/L amplifiers Alarms Fitted: (volt-free contacts/TTL) 3 Channel modules Weehawken Tunnel VHF Repeater System User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook Nō.-Weehawken_VHF Issue No:-A Date:-05/08/05 Page:- 25 of 75 4.2.3 VHF Duplex BDA Mechanical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Height: Standard Eurorack Width: 19" (482.6mm) Rack Depth: 600mm (800 optional) Height: 3U Width: 19" (482.6mm) Shelves: Depth: <400mm(excluding heatsinks, connectors, handles and feet) operational: -10°C to +55°C Temperature range: s…
