1 of 1 Technical Description DA4000N Variable Gain RF Amplifier Purpose: The purpose of the DA4000N Variable Gain bi-directional RF Amplifier is to boost the output power of a 600mw handheld cellular phone to a maximum legal limit of 3 watts for the 800 MHz iDEN (QPSK) and E-GSM & GSM-900 bands. Construction: The DA4000N circuit board has been designed with exceptional RF shielding. RF signal path construction, trace thickness, width and turning radii, complies with widely accepted high frequency specifications. The DA4000N is mounted to an aluminum mounting plate that performs as additional grounding as well as media to dissipate heat. A second aluminum plate is attached to the assembly, which further dissipates heat and provides a mounting mechanism to the extruded aluminum case. The extruded aluminum case is designed with top fins that provide appropriate surface area for heat dissipation. End plates close the assembly providing RFI shielding and a means to house connectors, switch and a power indicator. The function of the connectors, switch and power indicator is silk screened on the end plates for clarity. Functional Description: The DA4000N is a bi-directional variable gain RF amplifier. The direction of signal flow is described as Uplink (transmit to the antenna) and Downlink (receive from the antenna) for both 800 MHz iDEN band and E-GSM & GSM-900 bands. Uplink operating frequency is 806-821 MHz for the iDEN band, 880-890 MHz for the E-GSM band and 890-915 MHz for the GSM-900 band at 3 watts maximum output power. Uplink maximum gain is 8dB for the iDEN, E-GSM & GSM-900 bands. Downlink operating frequency is 851-866 MHz for iDEN, 925-935 MHz for E-GSM and 935-960 MHz for GSM-900 with a maximum gain of 15 dB. Signal protocol is iDEN (QPSK) and GSM. Use of the DA4000N is accomplished by connecting the antenna to the connector labeled “antenna” and the phone by way of a cell phone adapter cable to the connector labeled “phone”. Circuit operation: Uplink operation starts at the connector labeled J2 entering a diplexer (dip 2) with an input frequency range of 824-960 MHz. Two, 2 to 1 combiners separate uplink and downlink signal directions. An RF switch prevents Uplink from interfering with Downlink. A 10 dB attenuator (IC8) is used on the uplink path to reduce the input power of (IC1) to the allowable maximum of 60mw. Another 2 to 1 combiner (IC6) is used to separate uplink frequencies from downlink frequencies. Next is a diplexer (Dip 1) that is used to match the antenna impedance of 50 ohms. An RF switch prevents Uplink from interfering with Downlink. DC Power source: The DC4000N is designed to accept 12 to 24 VDC as an input. The normal maximum input current is 1 A. Switch SW1 enables power for two voltage regulator circuits after passing thru a 3A fuse F1. A 5VDC, 1.5A regulator VR2 provides regulated power to the bias circuitry Vapc. A 10VDC, 2A regulator VR1 provides regulated power to the 3 watt PA (IC1) for Vdd and the bias circuitry Vapc as well as bias circuitry for the LNA (IC3). phone (954) 747-7022 fax (954) 747-7088 www.DigitalAntenna.com 5325 N.W. 108th Avenue, Sunrise, FL 33351 ll

Tuning Procedure There are no tuning procedures. Manufacturing tolerances have been designed so that an accumulation of worst case component variation will not exceed the allowable output power of 3 watts.
4/16/2003 Page 1 of 3 FCCID: PZODA4000N FCC RF Exposure Requirements General information: FCCID: PZODA4000N Device category: Mobile per Part 2.1091 Environment: General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure Mobile devices that operate in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service and the Specialized Mobile Radio Service authorized under subpart H of part 22 and part 90 of this chapter are subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use if they operate at frequencies of 1.5 GHz or below and their effective radiated power (ERP) is 1.5 watts or more. However, compliance with the power density limits of 1.1310 is required. Antenna: The manufacturer does not specify any antenna to be used with this device. This device has provisions for operation in a vehicle, a boat or a fixed location. Configuration Antenna p/n Type Max. Gain (dBi) Passenger car Any - 3 Boat Any - 7dBi (5dBd) Fixed Any - 7dBi (5dBd) Operating configuration and exposure conditions: The conducted output power is 2.8 watt. iDEN modulation qualifies for a maximum duty cycle factor is 67.5%, which yields an EIRP of 1.89W with a 0dBi antenna gain and no cable loss. Part 2.1091 states that devices are excluded from routine evaluation if the EIRP is less than 2.46Watt (or 1.5WERP). GSM qualifies for a crest factor of 3 which is not the worst-case operating configuration. - Vehicle Operation: The maximum antenna gain that can be used is 3dBi. A coaxial cable of the type RG174 has a loss of 2.9dB for a length of 10 feet. Therefore, the EIRP is 1.89Watt. - Boat Operation: Cable length = 20 ft exposed and 3 feet internal to radom = 23 ft. Total. 23 feet cable loss including connector insertion loss at 800-900MHz is 5.4 dB. The maximum antenna gain that can be used is 5dBd. Therefore, the EIRP is 1.89Watt. 4/16/2003 Page 2 of 3 FCCID: PZODA4000N MPE Calculation: The minimum separation distance is calculated as follows: The limit for general population/uncontrolled exposure environment below 1500MHz is 0.54mW/cm2 for the worst-case frequency. Channel Frequency: 806 MHz The conducted power output is 2.8 watt. Max. Antenna Gain (dBi) / Minimum Cable Loss (dB) Power Density at 20 cm distance 3dBi / 2.9dB 5dBd / 5.4dB - Power EIRP (W) Duty Cycle (%) (mW/cm 2 ) (mW/cm 2 ) (mW/cm 2 ) 1.89 67.5 (iDEN) 0.38 0.54* - 0.93 33.3 (GSM) 0.19 0.27 - *The calculated MPE distance is 20.0cm for 1.6dB gain Conclusion: The device complies with the MPE requirements by providing a safe separation distance of 20 cm between the antenna, including any radiating structure, and any persons when normally operated . Proposed RF exposure safety information to include in User’s Manual: “FCC RF Exposure Requirements: CAUTION: The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device is approved with emissions having a source-based time-averaging duty factor not exceeding 67.5%. Vehicle – Antenna Installation: - Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 3 dBi with a minimum cable loss of 2.9dB. 4/16/2003 Page 3 of 3 FCCID: PZODA4000N - For rear deck trunk and roof top installations, the antenna must be located at least 20 cm away from rear-seat passengers and bystanders in order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. Boat – Antenna Installation: - Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 5dBd(7dBi) with a minimum cable loss of 5.4dB. - The antenna must be located at least 20 cm away from passengers in order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FYI - Draft/Grant notes – RF exposure: TCB Section D: Mobile transmitters identified in §2.1091 that satisfy Categorical Exclusion Requirements of §2.1091: ...
