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 an omni-directional antenna, 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 +58dB nominal gain for each link. (see Figure 2.1) Both links have manual gain control settings accessed through DIP switches on the top cover plus an AGC control for both the uplink and downlink. There are also LED indicators on the top cover 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 or downlink overloads be reached to prevent excessive intermodulation and oscillation.

Evaluation of the CSI Model 510 amps BDA For Compliance with FCC Guidelines For Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields 14 February 14, 2001 General The CSI Model 510amps Bi-directional amplifier is considered to be a “mobile” device operating in the Cellular Service authorized under subpart H of part 22. 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 510amps BDA, the maximum rated output power is +28dbm (631 mW). As stated in the Model 510amps 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 1.26 watts or an ERP of 0.77 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 510amps 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 Model 510amps BDA, the maximum rated output power is +28dbm (631 mW). As stated in the Model 510amps 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 1.26 watts or an ERP of 0.77 watts, (ERP=EIRP/1.64). This is well below the 1.5 watts and therefore excludes the uplink from routine evaluation. The Cautions in the Model 510amps manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a minimum 20-centimeter separation.

Each link had an unmodulated signal sent to the input. The level of the input signal was adjusted to achieve maximum output power of the amplifier. Testing was performed at 3 frequencies (low, mid and high) within each passband (uplink and downlink). The levels of the input signals and maximized output power levels were recorded and are shown below. UPLINK (Power Input @ 1dB Gain Compression Point): Frequency (MHz)Input (dBm)Output (dBm) 824.0-29.027.4 836.0-30.027.2 849.0-31.025.7 DOWNLINK (Power Input @ 1dB Gain Compression Point): Frequency (MHz)Input (dBm)Output (dBm) 869.0-31.026.1 881.0-30.027.9 894.0-29.026.7 For complete test data, see electronic Test Report Attachment, RF Power Output Data. Test Report No. R-3745N FCC ID: NVRCSI510-02 INTERMODULATION CHARACTERISTICS Measurement Procedure: Three CW signals were injected, in turn, to the uplink and downlink via a three way power combiner. Two signals were close together and at the low end of the passband, one signal was close to the high end of the passband. The output of each signal generator was adjusted so that the three output fundamental frequencies were equal in magnitude. At the input power levels used all intermodulation products were at -13dBm or below. The requested power rating of the device for the certification grant is derived by summing the levels of the three input signals for each the uplink and downlink. For complete test data, including actual X/Y plots of intermodulation signals, see electronic Test Report Attachment, Intermodulation Characteristics Data. OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH Measurement Procedure: The signal generator output was connected to the spectrum analyzer with a power level which was ascertained during the Power Output test. A 16kHz sine wave FM 1kHz modulation signal was then applied to the carrier. Waveforms were then noted on an X-Y plot. Next, the signal generator was connected to the EUT and the output of the EUT was connected to the spectrum analyzer. These output waveforms, CW and modulated, were then compared to the input waveforms to show that there was no change in the shape of the applied signal after amplification. The above procedure was repeated using a 16kHz square wave FM 1kHz modulation. Testing was performed at three frequencies (low, mid and high) within each passband (uplink and downlink). For complete test data, see electronic Test Report Attachment, Occupied Bandwidth Data. An explanation of the data is as follows: There are two signals superimposed on each plot, one signal is the waveform before modulation, the other is the modulated carrier. In each case the center of the grid shows a narrowband signal projecting out from the center of the modulation envelope. This signal is actually the stored unmodulated signal. The two plots on the left of each page are the input signals to the amplifier. On the right are plots of the signals taken at the output of the amplifier. The two top plots (left and right) utilize sine wave modulation. The two bottom plots (left and right) utilize square wave modulation as described above. ANTENNA CONDUCTED EMISSIONS Test Report No. R-3745N FCC ID: NVRCSI510-02 Measurement Procedure: The signal generator output was connected in turn to the uplink and downlink input ports of the EUT. The input power level was at the level which was ascertained during the Power Output test. A spectrum analyzer was connected to the output of the EUT. The input test frequencies were (low, mid and high) within each passband (uplink and downlink). The level of any spurious emission was recorded. T…
