Proprietary Document Page 4 of 31 Epoch-S02 RF Repeater User Manual V1.1 1. Installation Guide for Epoch-S02 1.1 Environmental requirements 1.1.1 Antenna Separation / Isolation Separation between antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually reenters, due to the lack of separation between the input and output antennas. In other words, the signal is being fed back into the system. This creates a constant amplification of the same signal. As a result, the noise level rises above the signal level. Donor To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated an appropriate distance to provide sufficient isolation. Isolation is attained by separating antennas a sufficient distance so that the output of one antenna does…

The donor antenna points to and receives the signal from the BTS (base station) and feeds it to the downlink (DL) path of the repeater. The DL signal is amplified and radiated by the server antenna. On the other side, the uplink (UL) signal from the MS (mobile station) is received by the server antenna, amplified by the repeater and reradiated by the donor antenna to the BTS.

Proprietary Document 1 Downlink Signal Flow When the RF signal from the BTS (base station) comes through the donor antenna and into the Epoch-S02 repeater, it goes to the donor duplexer which separates the UL and DL frequencies. The RF signal then goes to the LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) and its main purpose is to reduce the total noise figure of the DL RF signal which will be later amplified. After the LNA, the DL RF signal goes through the Coupler so that the input signal level can be monitored. This RF signal then goes through a splitter and a switch, which will allow the RF signal to go through either one of the paths (5 MHz or 15 MHz) or both (5 MHz & 15 MHz). The RF signal(s) goes through a Mixer which down-converts the RF signal into IF frequencies, which then goes through the first stage of AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuitry in order to set the correct gain on the repeater. The IF signal(s) will then go through either one or both SAW filters (5 MHz & 15 MHz) to properly select the desired operating 1900 MHz PCS band or bands. The IF signal(s) then goes through the second stage of AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuitry in order to set the correct gain on the repeater. The IF signal(s) are then up-converted (through UDC) back to RF again and goes through Ceramic filter(s) to reject unwanted spurious and harmonic signals. The RF signal(s) are then combined and goes through a Thermal PAD, so that the combined system gain is compensated according to the system temperature. The RF signal goes through the Coupler so that the output signal level can be monitored. The RF signal then goes through a Variable Attenuator which will adjust the total system gain and then goes through the Isolator, which prevents feedback from the HPA (High Power Amplifier). Finally, the RF signal goes through the Power Amplifier or PA which basically amplifies the RF signal. The amplified RF signal then goes through the server duplexer and the DL RF signal is finally radiated from the server antenna. Uplink Signal Flow When the RF signal from the MS (mobile station) comes through the server antenna and into our repeater, it goes to the server duplexer which separates the UL and DL frequencies. The RF signal then goes to the LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) and its main purpose is to reduce the total noise figure of the UL RF signal which will be later amplified. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.

An RF Repeater extends the wireless coverage of the nearest base station to designated shadow areas. These shadow areas occur due to various factors (e.g. mountains, large buildings, structures that obstruct base station signals, range of the base station). Our revolutionary Epoch-S02 TM repeaters are ideal for wireless providers who are looking into extending coverage within a building and extending coverage outdoors. Some of the key features of our versatile Epoch-S02 TM repeaters are as follows: - 100 mW to 1 W Composite Output Power - High Gain (50 to 90 dB or 55 to 95 dB) - AGC & MGC (40 dB Range @ 0.5 dB Step) - Uplink Tracking Mode - User Friendly GUI Software - Fixed Band(s) or Band Selectable via GUI Software - Remote Management via 3G Wireless Modem (Optional) - NEMA 4 Compliant Enclosure (Outdoor Environment) - Back-Up Battery (Optional) Epoch-S02 RF Repeater User Manual V1.1 Repeater Specifications ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS PARAMETERS SPECIFICATIONS COMMENTS FL 1930 to 1990 MHz Frequency Range RL 1850 to 1910 MHz Sub Band Filtering 5 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz A, D, B, E, F, C, AD, AE, AF, DB, DC, BE, BF, EC or FC Operating Frequency Programmable Frequency Error ≤ +/- 0.1 ppm System Delay ≤ 5 usec Each Direction Receiver Dynamic Range -85 to -45 dBm Maximum Adjacent Band Signal Level -45 dBm @ Isotropic Antenna Repeater Gain 50 to 90 dB Maximum FL and RL Output Power +24 dBm Composite FL AGC Range 40 dB RL AGC Range 40 dB AGC Step Size 0.5 dB Gain Linearity ≤ +/- 1.0 dB Gain Flatness ≤ 2.5 dB Total PA Power Variance ≤ +/- 0.5 dB ≤ -45 dBc @ Fc +/- 885 KHz In Band Noise ≤ -50 dBc @ Fc +/- 1.98 MHz Spurious Emission < -13 dBm @ Fc +/- 2.25 MHz Rho Factor ≥ 0.912 Noise Figure Typical 4 dB @ Maximum Gain VSWR ≤ 1.5:1 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.

Connecting the Laptop to the Repeater 1. Connect the RS-232 straight-through cable (provided in the box) to the NMS port on the bottom of the Epoch-S02 as shown below. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the laptop as shown below. 2. Open the OMS software by double clicking the software icon. The following window will be displayed: Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document 1 2607 Colorado Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90041 TEL: (323) 254-8131 FAX: (323) 254-4928 www.adrftech.com ________________________________________________________________________ 3. Check the communication port on the bottom of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) window. If you see the following prompt “COM Port 1 Successfully Opened” on the lower left portion of the window, the OMS software and the laptop can communicate with each other properly. If “COM Port 1 Failed To Open” appears, choose a different Com Port as shown below until proper communication is established. II. Turn the Epoch-S02 Power On 1. Turn on the Repeater’s main power. 2. On the lower right corner of the GUI window, you can see both the TX and the RX green lights are blinking periodically. This implies that the Epoch-S02 and the laptop are communicating properly. 3. In the Status Window, make sure that the “Not Installed” button appears. The box will change to “Installed” once the repeater is properly installed using the steps as instructed below. 4. Verify on the Status Window that the box is checked for “Modem Connected.” This may take a few minutes once the repeater is powered on. III. Go to Installation Menu 1. Go to the “Install” Menu, you will see the following screen. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document 2 2607 Colorado Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90041 TEL: (323) 254-8131 FAX: (323) 254-4928 www.adrftech.com ________________________________________________________________________ 2 3 4 5 2. On the Installation screen, select the desired operating “Band.” The default is “A” Band. Note: The following steps (#’s 3 & 4) should be followed only if a 3G wireless modem is connected for alarming purposes. 3. Verify that the “Auto Connection” button is checked (default setting). 4. Enter the Site ID and the Manager IP as provided by the carrier. Click the “Set” button once the parameters are typed in. 5. Hit the “Install” button. Once the button is hit, the Epoch-S02 will be checking various parameters automatically (e.g. Band Selection, RSSI, Isolation, Alarm, Heartbeat, etc) and set the different parameters for the repeater accordingly (e.g. Gain, Output Power, etc.). If “Installation Successfully Completed” dialog box appears, the Epoch-S02 repeater has been successfully installed and everything is properly tuned. This installation process typically takes less than 5 minutes if all the above steps are followed and the conditions are met. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
