The unit consists of a filter and amplifier chain in the downlink and one or two filters and amplifier chains in the uplink (primary and diversity). The uplink and downlink paths are connected via a duplexer on both ends of each path. In the primary uplink path, a signal originating from the UE is separated from the downlink signal via the primary UL IN duplexer. It is then amplified by an integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) and forwarded to the uplink Digital Channel Module (DCM). The DCM down-converts the signal to base-band, digitally filters it, amplifies it and then up-converts it. In addition the interference cancellation technology is implemented in the DCM. Finally, the signal is sent to the final amplifier and combined with the downlink input signal in the DL IN duplexer. The optional diversity uplink path (via a second filter) is identical except signals enter via the diversity UL IN duplexer and are combined in the DCM with the primary path. In the downlink path, a signal originating from the Base Tranceiver Station is separated from the uplink signal in the DL IN duplexer. It is then amplified by an integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) and forwarded to the downlink digital channel module (DCM). The DCM down-converts the signal to base-band, digitally filters it amplifies it and then up-converts it. In addition the interference cancellation technology is implemented in the DCM. Finally, the signal is sent to the final amplifier and combined with the uplink input signal in the primary UL IN duplexer. The downlink DCM is also responsible for communication and control of the entire unit. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION primary function is to increase signal strength between a mobile and a base station in areas where high-qual- ity voice or high-speed data service is not available, it also enhances air- interface capacity and increases the network data rate. The Node M is a dedicated UMTS device. It requires no additional hardware upgrades as a network migrates from UMTS to HSPA and beyond. The programmable radio may be up-graded locally through an Ethernet- based web connection or remotely via a wireless modem, and the modem may be circuit switch or packet data based. This provides the network management system with on-demand, alarm generated, or heartbeat monitor- ing via the always-connected packet features. Features and functions may be locally or remotely monitored and changed via a web browser. In addi- tion, Andrew provides A.I.M.O.S., a dedicated OMC and has imple- mented a standard SNMP based MIB that can easily integrated into any 3rd An excellent choice for any area, from the urban core to rural highway Node M 843 RF Enhancer party OMC platform. The graphical browser provides an intuitive setup menu, including a wizard that allows users, regardless of skill level, to cor- rectly setup the equipment without any additional equipment. The Andrew Node M 843 is self- diagnosing, self-adaptive, and virtually maintenance free. It is designed to provide more than 10 years of service under virtually any condition. • Auto wizard setup for easy installation • Digital filtering for multiple sub-band selection • Uniform phase and magnitude amplification • Automatic interference cancellation for decreased isolation requirements • Virtual test instruments • UMTS quality diagnostics • HSPA approved • SNMP and web-based GUI Now designers of UMTS systems can get an RF enhancer with intelligence and performance. The Andrew Node M 843 is an RF enhancer for UMTS systems with up to 4 adjacent carriers. This primary network element is ideal for the first phase of the network rollout and for any subsequent phase where cost, coverage, and quality need to be opti- mized.

MPE Calculation / RF Exposure Info FCC ID: XS5-NCM843 The EUT is designed to amplify signals between multiple UEs and a Base Transceiver Station in a CDMA system. (Uplink 824 – 849 MHz; Downlink 869 – 894 MHz) This specific device will be professionally installed. The antenna used with this device must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures with a sufficient distance to any human body to comply with the RF Exposure limit. Hereby the antenna gain and cable attenuation will be defined site specific at the time of licensing with the appropriate FCC Bureau(s). As specified in Table 1B of 47 CFR 1.1310 – Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE), Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure Frequency range (MHz) Power density (mW/cm²) 300 – 1,500 f/1500 1,500 – 100,000 1.0 the maximum permissible exposure limit is (frequency 894 MHz): 0.596 mW/cm² (general / uncontrolled exposures) The min separation distance between the antenna and any human body is to be calculated (solving for R in cm) with the final actual antenna gain/cable attenuation where the limit of 0.596 mW/cm² is kept using the general equation: S = P*G / 4πR² S = power density P = power input to the antenna G = numeric gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the centre of radiation of the antenna Sample Calculation: Maximum ERP of base transmitters and cellular repeaters (§22.913): 57 dBm Maximum peak output power at antenna input terminal: 43 dBm Maximum antenna gain (including cable loss) according to maximum ERP: 14 dBd The minimum separation distance: 2.6 Meter (258.38 cm)
