Proprietary Document 16/59 2.3 Installation 2.3.1 Tools No special tools or equipment are needed to install the ADRF-25K. 2.3.2 Procedure Four mounting holes are located on the wall-mounting bracket to attach it to the wall. The wall bracket must be securely attached to sufficiently carry the weight of the ADRF-25K, which is bolted to the wall bracket through the four aligned mounting holes. The following steps should be followed while mounting the repeater: Installation Procedure ① Verify that the Repeater and Mounting Bracket are in good condition. ② Drill holes in the installation surface and insert the anchor bolts. ③ Set the mounting bracket against the wall. ④ Using the Hooks on top, set the Repeater against the mounting bracket. ⑤ Using the anchor bolts attach the Repeater to the Bracket. ⑥ Make sure the Repeater is securely attached. ⑦ Connect the GND cable. ⑧ Connect the Antenna cable. ⑨ Connect the Power. ⑩ Using a laptop, install the Repeater.

Verizon Wireless MPE25K RF Repeater User Manual V0.3 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document 19/59 2.3.4 Antenna Separation/Isolation Separation between the antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually reenters, due to the lack of separation between the donor and server 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. To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated by an appropriate distance to provide sufficient isolation. Isolation is attained by separating antennas a sufficient distance so that the output of one antenna does not reach the input of the other. This distance is dependent on the gain of the repeater. A sufficient isolation value is 13 ~ 15 dB greater than the maximum gain of the repeater. For example, if the gain of the repeater is 50 dB, then an isolation of 63 ~ 65 dB or greater is required. In the same manner, because the ADRF-25K has a maximum gain of 80 dB, it requires an isolation of at least 93 ~ 95 dB. Figure 9 - RF Repeater Oscillation
Verizon Wireless MPE25K RF Repeater User Manual V0.3 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document 20/59 2.3.5 Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the base station typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the BTS can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the BTS may impair the repeater from obtaining any BTS signal. As a result, the repeater cannot transmit signal to the coverage area. Therefore, a direct line of sight to the BTS for the donor antenna is vital to the function of a repeater. For the same reason, placing the server antenna in direct line of sight of the coverage area is also necessary. Figure 10 - Direct Line of Sight to the BTS

Verizon Wireless MPE25K RF Repeater User Manual V0.3 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document 55/59 Power Supply It provides DC power to each module within the repeater. Controller It is responsible for monitoring the status of each module and controls the parameters. PCS Up / Down Converter Module The downlink RF signal that enters through the cavity filter is converted to IF frequency, which is later converted back to RF frequency through SAW filtering. Cellular Up / Down Converter Module The downlink RF signal that enters through the cavity filter is converted to IF frequency, which is later converted back to RF frequency through SAW filtering. PCS Duplexer It consists of two BPFs (band-pass filters): PCS TX (1930 ~ 1990 MHz) & RX (1850 ~ 1910 MHz) Triplexer Combines Cellular and PCS signals. It consists of three BPFs (band-pass filters): PCS and Cellular TX and RX. Modem Module Contains the CDMA 2000 modem (Kyocera M200).
