   Duo-i6525 RF Repeater  User Manual V1.2  Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document   Page 16 of 32  2.5.3 Grounding  The Duo-i6525 has locks on the side of the enclosure preventing from the door opening.  In addition, a ground cable is also included in the box and should be connected to repeater.       2.5.4 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 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.  Figure 10 – Ground Cable Connection
   Duo-i6525 RF Repeater  User Manual V1.2  Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document   Page 17 of 32     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 Duo-i6525 has a maximum gain of 65 dB, it requires an isolation of at least 78 ~ 80 dB.                Figure 11 - RF Repeater Oscillation
   Duo-i6525 RF Repeater  User Manual V1.2  Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document   Page 18 of 32  2.5.5 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.
