The Mini-BDA has dual RF paths to extend coverage in two distinct frequency bands. 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. Mini-BDA BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION : Refer to Figure 1 for the following discussion. The Mini-BDA Downlink path receives RF signals from the base station and amplifies and transmits them to the subscriber. The Mini-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. 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. Mini-BDA Options: An optional 9 pin D-sub connector is available for external alarm monitoring (See Figures 3 & 3a). Page 3 Figure 1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Mini-BDA BLOCK DIAGRAM 1.

ALC Factory Set Point (dBm) Uplink Downlink Uplink Downlink Uplink Downlink Uplink Downlink 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. .5/.5 Watt 70 dB Gain 70 70 40 40 27 27 18 18 Page 6 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS : Size : 8.75 x 6.20 x 3.0 inch : (222.3 x 157.5 x 76.2 mm) RF Connectors : N-type Female Weight : 2.0 Lbs. (4.4 kg.) approx. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS: The unit is designed for indoor applications: Operating temperature: - 20°C to + 50°C Storage temperature: - 50°C to + 90°C Mini-BDA CONNECTIONS The Mini-BDA is powered by a +15 VDC/1.67 Amp Wall Plug-In AC adapter with a 2.5 mm output connector. The Wall Plug-In power adapter is highly reliable and compact, designed for use in telecommunications. The power adapter is CE and UL approved. The metal enclosure of the Mini-BDA is connected to ground. A 9-pin D-Sub connector provides failure alarm output contacts. 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 Mini-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 Mini-BDA gain . Isolation less than this value can cause gain ripple across the band. Isolation equal to or less than the Mini- BDA gain will give rise to oscillations which will saturate the amplifiers and possibly cause damage to the Mini-BDA. Page 7 COM.

Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Compliance BDA-CellAB-0.5/0.5W-70-A FCC ID Q8KCELLABHW70 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 output power = 18dBm Uplink Maximum output power = 18dBm S = 0.6 mW/cm2 S = 0.57 mW/cm2 EIRP = 18dBm or .063W EIRP = 18dBm or .063W Therefore, R= 2.89cm (Downlink) R= 2.97cm (Uplink) These are the minimum safe distances at the output of the BDA-SMR- 0.5/0.5W-70-A for the general population. From the above calculations, with maximum Antenna Gain: Downlink Maximum Antenna Gain = 3dBi Uplink Maximum Antenna Gain = 11dBi Downlink Maximum output power = 18dBm Uplink Maximum output power = 18dBm S = 0.6 mW/cm2 S = 0.57 mW/cm2 EIRP = 21dBm or .126W (worst case) EIRP = 29dBm or .794W (worst case) Therefore, R= 4.09cm (Downlink) R= 10.5cm (Uplink) These are the minimum safe distances for the general population for each antenna.
