P3YSPOTCELL0006Spotcell 111/112 CU repeater

Technical Support The SpotCell serial number must be available to authorize technical support and/or to establish a return authorization for defective units. The serial number is located on the back of the CU and DU as well as the box in which they were delivered. Additional support information may be obtained by accessing the SpotwaveWireless Inc. website at www.spotwave.com. To contact support by telephone, call your local Spotwave vendor, or if you are unable to reach your vendor, contact Spotwave Wireless at 1-877-610-9586. Important Safety Information Wa r n i n g ! For your safety, beware of power lines and ensure appropriate safety measures are maintained at all times during the installation of the SpotCell equipment. If equipment not shipped with the SpotCell system is to be used during installation or mounting, follow all equipment manufacture’s instructions in proper use to ensure injury is avoided. The DU and CU of the SpotCell are low power transmitters. As with a cell phone antenna, avoid unneccessary contact with the front of the units after installed. Mount in a location where people will not approach within 1 meter in front of the DU and 20 centimeters in front of the CU. This manual outlines installation instructions and the appendix offers practical safety tips (see page 39 entitled ‘Safety Hints’). If you are not sure about a safe installation, do not attempt to install it yourself. Call a professional installer for help. ii SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: 1. What is Covered and for How Long? Spotwave Wireless Inc.

Thanks, Ruby From: Curtis -Straus TCB To: Ruby Dulmage Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 6:03 PM Subject: Spotwave FCC ID: P3YSPOTCELL0006 Hi Ruby, We have identified these issues following our review of the application: 1. Please supply the DC voltage and current supplied to the final RF stage. [Bisrat, Yohannes] The Uplink final RF stage is supplied by a DC supply of 5v @ 150mA and the Downlink RF stage is supplied by a DC supply of 5v@150mA . In the schematics, these are shown at V24 and V17 of the voltage regulator outputs. 2. Please supply a technical description of the circuitry. [Bisrat, Yohannes] The final amplifier stage in the uplink is a linear RF amplifier part number AH1 (see attached PDF data sheet). This device is operated at a supply voltage of 5V, and current of 150 mA.The same holds true for the DL final stage RF amplifier. The SpotCell 111/112 uses an IF frequency to perform gain control and filtering functions in both the downlink and uplink directions. The same LO signal is used to provide both down-conversion and up-conversion of the RF signal. In this configuration the output RF frequency is independent of the actual LO frequency, or any LO frequency error. The LO signal is generated by a frequency sythesizer that phase locked to a TCXO reference source, which has a maximum frequency error of +/- 2.5 ppm (see attached vt208C data sheet). However as noted above, because the same LO is used to convert to and from the IF frequency, this error is not transferred to the output frequency. The only sources of spurious radiation within the SpotCell are the Local Oscialltors used in the uplink and downlink, and the clock frequency used by the on-board micro-controller. The LO frequencies have been selected to prevent in-band spurious signals from being generated. Out of band spurious signals are filtered by SAW RF filters which are located between the uplink and downlink gain stages. The uplink and downlink oscillators and associated components are located in separate shielded compartments to control stray radiation. The microprocessor and associated digital circuits that use the 20MHz clock are housed in their own, separate shielded compartment to ensure that the clock and harmonics do not create spurious signals at the antennas. In addition, each RF stage in the uplink and downlink chain has its own decoupling components to prevent clock and LO signals from entering the signal path through the power supply. The PCB uses 3 separate ground planes to provide shielding and provide a low impedance ground for the RF stages and decoupling components. SpotCell 111/112 uses an AGC circuit in both the uplink and downlink to control the RF power fed to the output stages. These stages are calibrated during manufacture to ensure that output amplifiers are limited to operating at 10dB or more below the maximum output power of the device. This ensures linear operation, and prevents any distortion of the signal that may affect the occupied bandwidth of the signal (modulation). The AGC circuit use logarithmic detectors to measure the AGC output power, together with an integrator and linear voltage controlled amplifier. This AGC configuration allows the system to operate linearly over a wide dynamic range. In addition, a supervisory system is used to monitors the input power level and to shut down the downlink or uplink if the input power exceeds the maximum specified. 3. Please explain why the block diagram states the EIRP to be -8dBm while the rated EIRP appears to be 10dBm. The block diagram has been corrected, see attached word doc. 4. The manual does not include a RF exposure warning statement for the CU device. If the applicant wishes to claim a less than 20 cm distance then will need to see a SAR evaluation as per 2.1093. [Bisrat, Yohannes] The second manual sent to Nemko includes RF exposure warning statement for both the DU and CU. Here is the same document attached. Best regards Barry C.
