It is, of course, necessary that sufficient signal be available on the roof of the structure. The IBA is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where phone service is desired. The external antenna is usually a directional type such as a "yagi" however an omni-directional antenna may be used when the building is located in close proximity to one or more cell sites. Internal antennas are usually omni-directional although various other types may be used for certain installations. The IBA amplifies both the "uplink" (phone to tower) and "downlink" (tower to phone) signals thus facilitating communications to and from the local cell site There are four amplification stages on the downlink and four on the uplink for a total of +57dB nominal gain for each link. (see Figure 2.1) Both links have manual gain control settings accessed through DIP switches on the back panel plus an AGC control for both the uplink and downlink. There are LED indicators on the front panel for power on, transmitter on, uplink overload and downlink overload. An automatic amplifier safety shutdown circuit is also present which will disable the transmitters for ten seconds should the uplink and downlink overloads be reached simultaneously to prevent excessive intermodulation and oscillation.

NVRCSI310-03 FCC ID Label Cellular Specialties (FCC ID Label located on rear panel) FCC ID NVRCSI310-03 This device complies with part 90 and part 2 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and this device must acce pt any interference that may cause undesired operation.

Cellular Specialties FCC ID: NVRCSI310-03 Model 310 plus Functional Description The Model 310 In-Building Amplifier is intended for use in enclosed structures where sufficient signal from local cell sites to operate cell phones is unavailable within the building. The amplifier is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where phone service is desired. The external antenna is usually a directional type such as a “Yagi” however, an Omni-directional antenna may be used when the building is located in close proximity to one or more cell sites. Internal antennas are usually Omni- directional although various other types may be used for certain installations. The IBA amplifies both the “uplink” and “downlink” signals thus facilitating communications to and from the local cell site There are four amplification stages on the downlink and four on the uplink for a total +55 dB gain for each link. Both links have manual gain control settings accessed through DIP switches on the back panel plus an AGC control for both the uplink and downlink. There are LED indicators on the front panel for power on, transmitter on, uplink overload and downlink overload. An automatic amplifier safety shutdown circuit is also present, which will disable the transmitters for ten seconds should the uplink and downlink overloads be reached simultaneously, to prevent excessive intermodulation and oscillation.

Evaluation of the CSI Model 310 Plus BDA For Compliance with FCC Guidelines For Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields 13 December 1999 General The CSI Model 310 plus Bi-directional amplifier is considered to be a “mobile” device operating in the Specialized Mobile Radio Service authorized under subpart H of part 22 and part 90. As such, the equipment is required to be evaluated for RF exposure if operated below 1.5 GHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1.5 watts or more, as defined in 2.1091 of FCC rules. Downlink For the downlink portion of the Model 310 plus BDA, the maximum rated output power is +27dBm (500 mW). As stated in the Model 310 plus Manual, the maximum authorized antenna gain is 3 dBi, corresponding to a typical Omni-Directional antenna. Neglecting cable losses, the worst-case EIRP will be 1.00 watts or an ERP of 0.61 watts, (ERP=EIRP/1.64). This is well below the 1.5 watts and therefore excludes the downlink from routine evaluation. The Cautions in the Model 310 plus manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a minimum 20-centimeter separation. Uplink For the uplink portion of the BDA the maximum rated output power is +27 dBm (500 mW). With an authorized maximum antenna gain of 11 dBd, the worst-case ERP is 6.3 watts, neglecting cable losses between the antenna and BDA. Under these conditions the unit must be evaluated for minimum separation distances in order to comply with the Exposure limits of 1.1310 of the FCC rules. Using the guidelines in FCC OET Bulletin 65 and Supplement C, the power density at a reasonable distance from the maximum gain antenna was calculated. The minimum safe distance was also determined based on the uncontrolled exposure limits defined in Table 1B of FCC rules 1.1311. The following assumptions are made concerning these calculations:Po = 500 mW average Cable Loss = 0 dB Ant Gain = 11 dBd (13.2 dBi) Frequency = 815 MHz + 10 MHz Main Beam (worst-case) Rooftop 100% reflection Reasonable Distance = 4 feet (120 cm) Therefore, from OET Bulletin 65, S = (PG)/4πR 2 or S = EIRP/4πR 2 For 100% reflection, a doubling of the field strength can be expected. The above equation can be modified to, S = (2) 2 PG/4πR 2 = EIRP/πR 2 Solving for S at a distance of 4 feet (120 cm) gives, S = (500) (20.9)/ π (120) 2 = 0.23 mw/cm 2 From FCC rules 1.1311, Table 1B, the allowable limit for uncontrolled exposure is f(MHz) / 1500. At 815 MHz this corresponds to a level of 0.54 mw/cm 2 . The calculated value of 0.23 is below the limit of 0.54 thereby showing compliance under worst-case operating conditions. When the above equation is solved for minimum separation at the exposure limit, R = √(500) (20.9)/ π (0.54) = 78 cm (2.6 feet). As in the case of the downlink, the Cautions in the Model 310 plus manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a conservative 4-foot separation.
