OUTLINE- UPLINK ADJUST (Figure 4) 13 DIAGNOSTICS GUIDE 14 Page 2 BDA OVERVIEW: The BDA assembly extends the coverage area of radio communications in buildings and RF shielded environments. The unit features low noise figure and wide dynamic range. It is based on a duplexed path configuration with sharp out of band attenuation allowing improved isolation between the receiving and transmitting paths. BDA BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION : Refer to figure 1 for the following discussion. The BDA Downlink path receives RF signals from the base station and amplifies and transmits them to the subscriber. The BDA Uplink path receives RF signals from the subscriber and amplifies and transmits them to the base station. The Uplink and Downlink occupy two distinct frequency bands. For example, the SMR frequency bands are as follows: 806-821 MHz for the Uplink and 851-866 MHz for the Downlink. Two diplexers isolate the paths and route each signal to the proper amplifying channel. A selectable Automatic Level Control (ALC) allows for output power limiting. A Manual Gain Control (MGC) provides continuous control of amplifier gain. The use of these controls is covered in the “OPERATION” section, later in this document. Page 3 Figure 1 1. 2. 3. 4.

For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.

(6.2kg.) approx. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS: The unit is designed for indoor applications: Operating temperature: - 20°C to + 50°C Storage temperature: - 50°C to + 90°C BDA CONNECTIONS The BDA AC power is accepted through a standard 3-wire male plug (IEC-320) 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 Power On lamp. The metal enclosure of the BDA is connected to ground. A 9-pin D-Sub connector provides failure alarm output contacts (see diagram next page) as well as an optional 12 VDC (250mA) auxiliary output. 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 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. Page 7 . COM. N.O. Figure 2 IN BUILDING REPEATER BDA Mechanical Outline Figure 2a (Relay Shown in Non -Alarm Condition) The alarm monitors current of both uplink and downlink amplifiers. An alarm condition N.C. will occur if either uplink or downlink amplifiers are over or under its current tolerance. Page 8 Optional Alarm Conditions RF EXPOSURE WARNING In order to satisfy the FCC RF exposure requirements, the BDA/antenna installation must comply with the following: The outdoor antenna (Yagi type or similar directional antenna) must be installed so as to provide a minimum separation distance of 0.3 meters (30 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 of between 1-10 dB). The indoor antenna (omni directional) must be installed so as to provide a minimum separation distance of 0.2 meters (20 c…

Response to TCB Findings 1. One of the specification sheets shows a pre-amp and an attenautor used with the LNA. The operational description does not mention these exclusively. Please specify what other boards/components are used in conjunction with the LNA. The LNA as a whole is made of different gain blocks or components with the LNA device first, followed by a MGC device, and then a pre-amp... The specification sheet just depicts the commom layout as inside and the dashed lined box around the layout represents the housing. There is only one amplifier on the uplink and one for the downlink. The LNA is the only active component. 2. Please supply filter frequency response plots to demonstrate rejection of out-of band signals. Plots supplied. 3. Please supply an exhibit or correspondence showing that the applicant has been informed about 22.383. Correspondence supplied.

Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Compliance BDA-CELLAB-1/1W-60 FCC ID Q8KCELLAB1W60 At the maximum operating frequency of 894MHz (Downlink) and 849MHz (Uplink) the MPE limit for the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure is as follows: Downlink = 0.6mW/cm2 (f/1500mW/cm2) and Uplink = 0.57mW/cm2 (f/1500mW/cm2). The analysis is provided below. Power Density (S) = EIRP/(4πR²), Therefore, R≥√EIRP/S x 4π From the above calculations, with: Downlink Maximum Antenna Gain = 2dBi Uplink Maximum Antenna Gain = 11dBi Downlink Maximum output power = 25dBm Uplink Maximum output power = 25dBm S = 0.6 mW/cm2 S = 0.57 mW/cm2 EIRP = 27dBm or 500mW(worst case) EIRP = 36dBm or 4.0W(worst case) Therefore, R= 8.14cm (Downlink) R= 23.6cm (Uplink) These are the minimum safe distances for the general population for each antenna.
