NT3DAB-DAC-1819Dual Amplifier Booster

GSM Dual Amplifier Booster/ Combiner CCI Model Number DAB-1819 & DAC-1819 USER’S GUIDE Product Description: DAB-1819 & DAC-1819 Dual Amplifier Booster/ Combiner: The CCI GSM Dual Amplifier-Booster Module (DAB) consists of two linear power amplifiers with intermodulation level control circuitry, each capable of generating a 70-75 Watt GSM signal. The Dual Amplifier-Combiner Module (DAC) is identical to the DAB Module with the exception of a passive hybrid combiner at the output which combines both signals to provide two 35-37 Watt GSM signals on a common output. Operation Description: The DAC-1819 and DAB-1819 Dual Amplifier Booster/ Combiner is designed to supply a nominal output power level of 48.5 dBm when used in the uncombined mode. Although the gain of the Dual Amplifier Booster/ Combiner is fixed, the output can be adjusted by setting the input power level. Operation and Installation Instructions: The following instructions should be followed when installing the unit in service: • Apply a 26-28VDC input voltage to the DC Input connector of the Dual Amplifier-Booster/Combiner Module. • Insure that the DC Source is capable of delivering up to 15 Amps at 28VDC. • Apply a GSM signal of up to +41dBm to each RF input port of the Dual Amplifier-Booster/Combiner Module. • The Dual Amplifier-Booster/Combiner Module will provide approximately 7.5dB or less of RF Gain.

Setting the RF Output Power on the DAB & DAC Booster Amplifier The RF output power is not adjustable on the DAB & DAC Booster Amplifier. The user must adjust the RF input power to the Booster Amplifier such that the RF output power level does not exceed the levels shown below in order for the RF output spectral emissions to be compliant with the FCC spurious emissions limit of -13 dBm outside of the assigned frequency block. These levels must not be exceeded. Channel Center Frequency (MHz) Maximum RF 0utput (dBm)* 1930-1930.2 28 1930.2-1989.8 48.8 1989.8-1990 28 *Note: The 28dBm reduced output power will also apply to the first and last channel of any contiguous block of spectrum for any service provider. This equipment complies with Part 24 of the FCC rules. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. In order to comply with FCC rules for RF exposure, it must be observed that the antenna connected to this equipment be fixed on an outdoor structure and that it must have a minimum separation distance of 10 meters between it and any person."

Regarding the voltage and current for the output stage, the voltage range is 24-30 VDC and the current is 1-6 AMPS. 2. As per section 5 (see summary of test data (note 3)) in the report, the worst case band edge power with margin would be 28dBm (631mW). This only applies to the first and last channel of the frequency block. Attached please find the updated users manual. Thanks, Ruby ----- Original Message ----- From: Curtis -Straus Certification Dept. To: Ruby Dulmage Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 7:57 PM Subject: Communications Components FCC ID: NT3DAB-DAC-1819 Hi Ruby, The reviewing engineers have identified the following issues: 1. Please supply the DC voltage and current supplied to the final RF stage. 2. We have noted that output power needs to be reduced for the spurious emissions to pass at the bandedges o f each block. What output power is required to achieve this compliance? Also the installation manual needs to reflect that a reduced power is required at the bandedges of each block. Best regards Barry C.

Consequently, capacity of existing sites can be expanded with the existing cabling and antenna infrastructure. The Cell Booster/ Combiner allows the cost efficient implementation of multi-channel high capacity radio networks. The Cell Booster can also be deployed as a booster amplifier without combining, thus increasing the downlink power of the Base Transceiver Station (BTS). When used in conjunction with a Tower Mount Amplifier (TMA), the Cell Booster can significantly in- crease the footprint of rural sites and improve in-building penetration in urban locations. General Info and Technical Description 1 Electrical /Mechanical Specifications 2—3 Mechanical Diagram 4 Contents The PCS Cell Booster was specifically designed to integrate with GSM base stations without any need for retrofitting the original equipment. The system consists of 19” rack mount trays that can accommodate multiple modules. The core modules include a Dual Amplifier-Booster Module and a Dual Amplifier-Combiner Module. The Cell Booster system can be further complemented with a range of Duplexer Modules, Power Supply Modules, and Splitter/VSWR modules. The Cell Booster system can be configured with any combination of the above modules to seamlessly inte- grate with the carriers BTS equipment and achieve the desired performance results. The Dual Amplifier-Booster Module (DAB) consists of two linear power amplifiers with intermodu- lation level control circuitry, each capable of generating a 70 Watt GSM signal. The Dual Ampli- fier-Combiner Module (DAC) is identical to the DAB Module with the exception of a power hybrid combiner at the output which combines both signals to provide two 35 Watt GSM signals on a common output. Both modules incorporate CCI’s proprietary GSM failure-detect circuitry that tracks the amplified GSM signal by timeslot and actively controls and monitors the performance of both amplifiers, providing dry relay contact closures that can be tied into the BTS alarm circuit.

Exposure of Humans to RF Fields Analysis Performed By: Glen Westwell Date of Test: 14 Nov. 2002 Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Compliance Statement, FCC Radio Frequency Exposure Limit 1.1310 & Industry Canada RSS-102 Communications Components PCS Band Amplifiers DAB-DAC-1819 The DAB-DAC-1819 amplifier has been tested and the performance characterized in accordance with the MPE requirements of FCC 47 CFR and Industry Canada RSS-102. At an operating frequency of 1930-1990MHz the MPE limit for the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure is 1mW/cm 2 . This device complies with this limit at the following line of sight distances from the antenna element: DAB-DAC-1819 (80W) : 795cm The analysis is provided below. Power Density (S) = EIRP/(4πR 2 ), Therefore, R≥√EIRP/S x 4π Using this calculation: Maximum Antenna Gain (typical installation) = 20dBi Maximum output power (worst case) = 49dBm S = 1.0mW/cm 2 EIRP = 69dBm or 7943.3W(max. worst case) Therefore, R= 795 cm This minimum safe distance for the general population of 10m shall be stated in the installation & operators instruction manual under the RF Safety Exposure Warning Statement.
