Refer to Table 1-2 for definition of composite output power rating. P.G. TM0051 1-3 NOTE IMPORTANT RATING INFORMATION Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced as per Table 1-2, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This output power reduction is to be achieved by reduction of input power or by gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. TABLE 1-2 Rated Power Output for Linear Operation The total composite output power in multiple tone or wideband signals shall NOT exceed the following level or else it may result in improper operation of the device and cause interference. The composite output power rating is defined as the total average RMS output power of all inband signals. The unit should be operated at or below this level to ensure linear operation with low distortion. This holds true for any number of carriers with total average power adding up to the composite output power rating listed in the table below. Parameter Specification Base Transmit (Downlink) Power: +16 dBm Portable Transmit (Uplink) Power: +16 dBm NOTE: See NOTE in Section 3.3. P.G. TM0051 2-1 SECTION 2. THEORY OF OPERATION 2.0 GENERAL The R307B is a bidirectional repeater, providing a maximum of approximately 60 dB gain in the SMR uplink and downlink bands. The block diagram of the R307B is shown in Figure 2-1. 2.1 - The unit is composed of amplifiers and diplexers as well as voltage regulation circuits.

Please refer to section 3.0 for the list of test equipment used. 2.1 Gain The gain was measured using the test arrangement as shown in Figure 2.1-1 below. Measurements were made at three frequencies in the band. Network Analyzer Test Set D.U.T. 10 dB Attn. Power Supply (12V) Figure 2.1-1 The unit gain was measured for both directions (uplink and downlink). These results are shown in Plot 1 and Plot 2 that follow. P. G. Electronics FCC ID: P6T803 P6T803TR Page 5 of 26 Plot 1: Uplink Gain Plot 2: Downlink Gain P. G. Electronics FCC ID: P6T803 P6T803TR Page 6 of 26 2.2 Intermodulation and Spurious Intermodulation and spurious products were measured with the repeater operating at the maximum total rated inband power level specified in the Operator's Manual (Refer to TM0051 exhibit provided.). A three tone test was conducted using the equipment test arrangement in Figure 2.2-1 below with the input power levels adjusted to give the rated output power of +11.2 dBm for each tone (+16 dBm total inband power). The Network Analyzers were used as signal sources. The 10.5 dB loss to the spectrum analyzer results in tone levels of +0.7 dBm into the instrument. Network Analyzer 1 Network Analyzer 2 Test Set Point A Combiner D.U.T. 10 dB Attn. Point B Terminator Signal Generator Power Supply (12V) Spectrum Analyzer *Note: Loss from Point A (D.U.T. output) to Point B (Spectrum Analyzer input) was 10.5 dB. This includes the loss of the 10 dB attenuator and cables. Figure 2.2-1 P. G. Electronics FCC ID: P6T803 P6T803TR Page 7 of 26 The results of these tests are shown in Plots 3 and 4 that follow for two spectrum analyzer sweep settings with the reference level set at +0.7 dBm. For the uplink direction, in Plot 3, the narrower band setting shows in-band intermodulation products, while in Plot 4 the spectrum outside the SMR band is displayed to show harmonics and spurious. Plots 5 and 6 show the equivalent results for the downlink direction. Plot 3: Uplink 3-tone Intermodulation (Narrow Sweep) Plot 4: Uplink 3-tone Intermodulation (Broad Sweep) P. G. Electronics FCC ID: P6T803 P6T803TR Page 8 of 26 Examination of the above results shows that all products are at least 50 dB below the fundamentals. Plot 6: Downlink 3-tone Intermodulation (Broad Sweep) Plot 5: Downlink 3-tone Intermodulation (Narrow Sweep) P. G. Electronics FCC ID: P6T803 P6T803TR Page 9 of 26 2.3 Modulated Channel Tests These tests show a comparison of the input and output signals for operation with a single modulated signal at the maximum rated RF input drive level of the repeater. Figure 2.3-1 below shows the test arrangement used for the tests. All the test results display the input level and the output level with sufficient attenuation to display it as an overlay on the same screen. The input signal is displayed on the spectrum analyzer using the reference bypass. The output signal is displayed on the spectrum analyzer with the equipment connected as shown. Tests are performed for both the uplink and downlink directions for FM and two types of digital modulations. Figure 2.3-1 The following notes apply: a. Loss 1, loss 2 and loss 3 are measured at the test frequency. Loss 1 = 0.6 dB (Cable 1) Loss 2 = 60.5 dB (Attn. 1 + Attn. 2 + Cable 2 + Attn. 3) Loss 3 = 0.6 dB (Cable 3) b. Signal generator set to test frequency and desired modulation. Amplitude set to DUT maximum rated output level minus 60 dB (DUT gain) plus Loss 1. Therefore, to obtain +16 dBm at the output of the DUT requires a Generator level of: +16 dBm (test level) – 60 dB (DUT gain) + 0.6 dB (Loss 1) = -43.4 dBm. c. The DUT output level is equal to the spectrum analyzer level + Loss 2 + Loss 3; which is the spectrum analyzer level + 61.1 dB. The results of these tests are shown in Plots 7 through 12 that follow. Plots 7 and 8 show results for FM modulation (AMPS), Plots 9 and 10 show results for for Digital Modulation 1 (NADC), and Plots 11 and 12 show results for Digital Modulation 2 (GSM).
