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: The Mini-BDA can be used as a line amplifier. With an optional external bias-tee, the Mini-BDA will function with power coming from the In-building antenna. Optional External Bias-Tees (For .1/.1 Watt Models only) 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.

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."

Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Compliance BDA-SMR-.5/2W-70-A FCC ID Q8KSMR2W70A At the maximum operating frequency of 866MHz (Downlink) and 821MHz (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 output power = 27dBm Uplink Maximum output power = 18dBm S = 0.58 mW/cm2 S = 0.55 mW/cm2 EIRP = 27dBm or .501W EIRP = 18dBm or .063W Therefore, R= 8.3cm (Downlink) R= 3.02cm (Uplink) These are the minimum safe distances at the output of the BDA-SMR-.5/2W- 70-A for the general population.
