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. The BDA supports modulation types CDMA and GSM. BDA CIRCUIT 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 CELLAB frequency bands are as follows: 824-849 MHz for the Uplink and 869-894 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.

Power Supply : 110VAC/1.4 Amp : 240VAC/0.7 Amp : 50 to 60 Hz *The 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 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. Page 5 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Size : 16.0 x 12.0 x 8.75 inch (406 x 305 x 222 mm) Weight : 35 Lbs. (16.0kg.) approx. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS: The unit is designed for indoor applications: Operating temperature: -30°C to + 65°C Storage temperature: - 50°C to + 90°C BDA CONNECTIONS The BDA AC power is accepted through a 3-wire male 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 Power On lamp. The metal enclosure of the BDA is connected to ground. A 7-pin circular connector provides failure alarm output contacts (see diagrams on page 9) as well as a 12 VDC (250mA) auxiliary output. For S1 Option: The BDA is equipped with both AC and DC voltage inputs for power operation. This gives the flexibility of powering the BDA with either an AC or DC source. If both sources are connected, the BDA will automatically select the stronger source for power. NOTE: (To insure that the DC source will be selected when both sources are connected, DC input voltage must be at least 27 VDC.) 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 6 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW : a.) Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) Option An optional UPS is offered for systems that need emergency back-up power. The system can easily be connected to a battery for uninterruptible operation. Not only does the power supply power the load, but it also charges the battery. If the AC power fails, the battery will uphold the load. Batteries can be supplied upon request or…

BDA INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY A.C. OR DC POWER TO THE BDA UNTIL CABLES ARE CONNECTED TO BOTH PORTS OF THE BDA AND THE ANTENNAS. 1. Mount the BDA on the structure with the RF connectors pointing DOWN. Using appropriate screws and anchors, attach the BDA to the structure using the six mounting holes on the side flanges. 2. Ensure that the isolation between the donor antenna and the service antenna is at least 12 dB greater than the BDA gain. (Use the higher of the Uplink and Downlink gains reported on the BDA test data sheet). 3. Connect the cable from the donor antenna to the BDA connector labeled “BASE” and the cable from the service antennas to the BDA connector labeled “MOBILE”. 4. Open the access door on the BDA and verify that the Uplink and Downlink ALC switches are in their factory preset “ON” positions and attenuation is positioned to its maximum setting. 5. Connect the AC power cord to the BDA and then to the power source. Turn the power switch to its “ON” position. Verify that the “Power On” indicator is lit. Close the access door. Installation of the BDA is now complete. To adjust the gain controls to suit the specific signal environment, refer to “BDA Operation”. Note: For repeat installations of existing equipment, make sure the ALC switches are in the “ON” position and attenuation is positioned to its maximum setting (30 dB). After verification of ALC switches and attenuation, follow the above steps starting with step 1. Page 11 BDA OPERATION Variable Step Attenuator BDA gain can be reduced by up to 30 dB in 2 dB steps using the variable step attenuator (Figure 3). Gain adjustment is made with rotary switches accessible via the access door on the BDA enclosure. Arrows on the shafts of these switches point to the value of attenuation selected. BDA gain can be determined by subtracting the attenuation value from the gain reported on the BDA Test Data Sheet for that side of the unit. The attenuators are labeled for Uplink and Downlink. ALC (Automatic Level Control) To minimize intermodulation products, the Uplink amplifier in the BDA contains an ALC feedback loop (Figure 4). The ALC circuit senses the output power and limits it to the factory preset level of +27 dBm on the Uplink and +37 dBm on the Downlink. ALC function is located within each power amplifier. A red indicator lamp located on each amplifier illuminates when output power meets or exceeds the ALC set point. To establish proper operating gain on the Uplink and Downlink sides, start with the Downlink. Observe the red indicator lamp on the Control Panel. Units are shipping with maximum attenuation. Decrease attenuation one step at a time until the lamp is lit. Then, using the Uplink step attenuator, increase the attenuation until the lamp goes off. Repeat the process for the Uplink. The level indicator is accurate to +/- 0.4 dB of the ALC set point. Note: Long term operation of the BDA in an alarm condition will void the warranty, and output power should be immediately reduced using the variable step attenuator. Operation of BDA-CELLAB-2/25W-90-OA at maximum gain with greater than -55 dBm average power incident on the MOBILE port or greater than -45 dBm average power incident on the BASE port can cause damage to the BDA.

Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Compliance BDA-CELLAB-2/25W-90-OA FCC ID Q8KCELLAB25W90 At the maximum operating frequency of 894MHz (Downlink) and 849MHz (Uplink) the MPE limit for the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure is as follows: Downlink = 0.58mW/cm2 (f/1500mW/cm2) and Uplink = 0.55mW/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 = 37dBm Uplink Maximum output power = 27dBm S = 0.596 mW/cm2 S = 0.566 mW/cm2 EIRP = 39dBm or 8.0 W (worst case) EIRP = 38dBm or 6.3 W (worst case) Therefore, R= 32.68cm (Downlink) R= 29.76cm (Uplink) These are the minimum safe distances for the general population for each antenna.
