The BDA-LTE/UC-33/33-90-C has dual RF paths (Forward / Reverse) to improve coverage in two distinct frequency bands. The unit features low noise figure and wide dynamic range. It is based on a dual duplexed path configuration with sharp out of band attenuation allowing improved isolation between the receiving and transmitting paths. BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION: Refer to Figure 1 for the following discussion. The BDA-LTE/UC-33/33-90-C Downlink path receives RF signals from the base station, amplifies the signal and transmits the signal into a Distributed Antenna System at the direction of the mobiles. The signal travels over a DAS medium that then dissipates the signal to the Mobile subscribers. The BDA-LTE/UC-33/33-90-C Uplink path receives RF signals at the Mobile side from the DAS system, then amplifies it, and transmits the amplified signal to the base station. The Uplink and Downlink occupy two distinct dedicated frequency bands, each Uplink and Downlink band is 11MHz wide. For LTE Upper C Band, the frequency allocations are as follows: Uplink: 776 - 787 MHz Downlink: 746 – 757 MHz Four diplexers isolate the paths and route each signal to the proper amplifying channel. An Automatic Level Control (ALC) allows for output power limiting. A variable step attenuator gives 0 – 30 dB of attenuation in 2 dB steps. The use of these controls is covered in the “OPERATION” section, later in this document. BLOCK DIAGRAM DRAWING: (Figure 1) Page | 4 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS: The unit is designed for indoor applications: Operating temperature: - 20°C to + 50°C Storage temperature: - 50°C to + 90°C FCC NOTE: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has tested this product and found it to comply with their RF Exposure Requirements, pursuant to FCC Part 27. RF EXPOSURE WARNING: In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements, the BDA-LTE/UC-33/33-90-C antenna installation must comply with the following: The outdoor antenna (Yagi type or similar directional antenna if off air donor signal used) must be installed so as to provide a minimum separation distance of 0.3 meters (60 cm) between the antenna and persons within the area. (This assumes a typical antenna with gain of [10.1 dBi, VSWR ≤ 1.5:1, Zo= 50 ohms, and a cable attenuation between 1-10 dB). The indoor antenna (Omni directional or leaky cable) must be installed so as to provide a minimum separation distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm) between the indoor antenna connected to the RF booster and the human user’s body within the area. (This assumes a typical wide-beam type antenna with gain of 0-2 dBi, VSWR ≤ 2:1, Zo= 50 ohms, and a cable attenuation of between 1-10 dB). CONNECTIONS: The BDA AC power is accepted through a circular 3-wire female plug with phase, neutral and ground leads. The AC power is wired to a high efficiency DC switching power supply which is CE and UL approved. The power supply runs the amplifiers and the LED indicators. The metal enclosure of the BDA is connected to ground. A 7-pin circular connector provides failure and Oscillation Detect alarms output dry contacts, Normally Open and Normally Closed (see diagrams on page 8). The RF connections are made via two type “N” female connectors. The RF connector labeled “BASE” must be connected to the antenna pointing towards the base station. The RF connection labeled “MOBILE” must be connected to the antenna / passive DAS facing the area to be covered by the BDA. The RF connections must be made through cables with characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. The isolation between the base station antenna and the mobile antenna should be at least 12 dB higher than the BDA gain. Isolation less than this value can cause gain ripple across the band. Isolation equal to or less than the BDA gain will give rise to oscillations which will saturate the amplifiers and possibly cause damage to the BDA. This BDA i…

(This assumes a typical antenna with gain of [10.1 dBi, VSWR ≤ 1.5:1, Zo= 50 ohms, and a cable attenuation between 1-10 dB). The indoor antenna (Omni directional or leaky cable) must be installed so as to provide a minimum separation distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm) between the indoor antenna connected to the RF booster and the human user’s body within the area. (This assumes a typical wide-beam type antenna with gain of 0-2 dBi, VSWR ≤ 2:1, Zo= 50 ohms, and a cable attenuation of between 1-10 dB). Results For Uplink, the highest power density level at 60 cm is below the MPE uncontrolled exposure limit. For Downlink; the highest power density level at 20 cm is below the MPE uncontrolled exposure limit.
