miniRepeater Functional Description The MRx18 miniRepeater a bi-directional amplifier used to enhance signals between a mobile and a base station in a mobile network. It has been designed to increase signal strength in small and medium sized areas such as offices, shops, and basements. By boosting the signal level the MRx18 increases indoor coverage and allows high data rate connectivity. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area due to indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, a repeater is used to extend transmission range. In the downlink path, the repeater picks up the signals from a donor antenna of a BTS/ Node B, amplifies and re-transmits it into the required dark spot. In the uplink path the signal picks up the signals from a mobile/ User Equipment (UE) and re- transmits it to the BTS/ Node B. Andrew MRx18 miniRepeater gives designers a simple tool to solve their small area coverage and performance issues. The MRx18 is easy to install. Also a web-based GUI simplifies commissioning and configuring the equipment. The RF link (donor) towards the base station is typically fed from an outdoor antenna while the coverage area is fed by an indoor antenna. The opportunity to adjust the passband of repeater helps to cover any specific segment or frequency band. Due to modular design, the single-varia version MRx18 may be available as a dual-/ triple- varia segment or a dual-band-varia version in one cabinet. The dual-/ triple-segment MRx18/x18(/x18) is able to transmit two or three variable segments within one frequency band. The dual-band MRx18/y18(/y18) supports two frequency bands, while one variable segment is amplified in one frequency band and up to two variable segments are dedicated for the other frequency band. Auto Gain functionality enables automatic gain adjustment in order to maximize the performance, however gain may be set manually if desired. An alarm interface with a display and LEDs indicates the status of the equipment locally. Moreover, the status and alarms of the MRx18 can be queried via the web-based GUI. M R x18/y18/y18 MRx18/y18 Dual Band Indoor Coverage for Almost all Mobile Network Combinations MRx18 miniRepeater The MRx18 dual band amplifies up to three variable band segments allocated in two frequency bands. One variable bandwidth filter is dedicated for one frequency band and up to two variable bandwidth filters dedicated for the other frequency band. The variable bandwidth of all segments makes the MRx18 miniRepeater a highly flexible, tailored tool satisfying wireless operator’s demands. Regardless of the frequency band to be supported, the dual band MRx18 miniRepeater is basically available for the same frequency/standards as MRx18 single band model. Due to modular design, the MRx18 is able to carry up to three variable frequency segments in one cabinet. Key Features • Multi-functional capabilities and modular design • Continuously monitors and adapts to the RF environment via Autogain feature • Lightweight and compact footprint for easy installation • Easy commissioning and setup via web-based browser • LEDs for local alarm indicators • LCD display for RSSI, Gain, Output Power, and Status Indication • Optional remote control via SMS • Remote alarming through SNMP alarm traps • Connection to LAN • Compliant with all regulatory agencies • Up to 3 variable band segments • Independent autogain adjustment per segment • Integrated combiner, crossband coupler and common antenna ports for all segments and frequency bands www.commscope.com/andrew Visit our Web site or contact your local Andrew Solutions representative for more information. © 2009 CommScope, Inc.
