Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 9 of 43 1.2 Warnings and Hazards Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used. Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 40 cm while operating near the donor and the server antennas. Also, the donor antenna needs to be mounted outdoors on a permanent structure. RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT GuidelinesOperating the Trilogue-1NM with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe damage to the repeater. WARNING! DAMAGE TO REPEATERWorking with the repeater while in operation, may expose the technician to RF electromagnetic fields that exceed FCC rules for human exposure. Visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety to learn more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic fields. WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RF Opening the Trilogue-1NM could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury. WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK

Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 11 of 43 2. Trilogue-1NM Overview 2.1 Operation Modes 2.1.1 Local Web GUI Host Mode This mode should be selected only if a Trilogue-1NM is used alone without being connected to any other device functioning as a host. Simply connect one end of the Ethernet cable on the repeater monitor port and the other end on the PC’s LAN port. After doing so, launch the Microsoft Internet Browser (Internet Explorer) and the Local Web GUI will be launched through typing the IP address (http://192.168.63.1/home.asp) 2.1.1. Remote Web GUI Remote Mode This mode should be selected if an external modem box (MBOX-DET1) is being installed along with the Trilogue-1NM for monitoring purposes. In this case, the Trilogue-1NM works as a remote unit sending its information to the collocated external modem box. Note: ADRF’s Web GUI has not been developed for Microsoft Internet Explorer and other web browsers (e.g. Netscape, FireFox, Mozilla, etc.) may not be compatible. ADRF’s Web GUI has not been tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer versions higher than 6.0.
Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 12 of 43 2.2 Switches & Indicators 2.2.1 LEDs Trilogue-1NM has five LEDs on the front panel of the repeater as shown below in Figure 4. POWER If the LED is lit GREEN, it indicates that there is AC power to the repeater SOFT FAIL If the LED is lit YELLOW, it indicates that there is a soft fail alarm in the system. The detailed alarm information can be viewed via the local web GUI. In the event of a soft fail alarm, the repeater will still function, but the alarm needs to be addressed promptly. HARD FAIL If the LED is lit RED, it indicates that there is a hard fail alarm in the system. The detailed alarm information can be viewed via the local web GUI. In the event of a hard fail alarm, the repeater will not function and immediate attention is required. Figure 4 – Trilogue-1NM Repeater LED View

Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 14 of 43 2.3 Installation 2.3.1 Tools No special tools or equipments are needed to install the Trilogue-1NM 2.3.2 Procedure Six 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 Trilogue-1NM, 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 Take the Trilogue-1NM out of the box ② Using the four anchor bolts, mount the bracket on the wall ③ Make sure the bracket is securely mounted ④ Slightly tilt the repeater and mount the repeater onto the wall as shown in the picture. Hook the upper 2 guard screws first and then slide/push in the lower 2 guard screws into the place. ⑤ Make sure the Trilogue-1NM is securely placed onto the wall bracket ⑥ Fasten the 8 bracket screws back properly ⑦ Inspect that everything is secure * Rack Mount option is also available. Please contact ADRF for additional information.

Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 17 of 43 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. Figure 9 – RF Repeater Oscillation 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 Trilogue-1NM has a maximum gain of 80 dB, it requires an isolation of at least 93 ~ 95 dB. Server
Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 18 of 43 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

The selected band will be highlighted in blue. To deselect, click again on the undesired band. The deselected band will turn back gray. Please see below Band Selection screen shot. 3.4.1.1 CDMA Band Selection The CDMA subsystem of the Trilogue-1NM has three (3) independent RF paths: Path 1 supports 5 MHz bandwidth; Path 2 supports 5 or 10 MHz bandwidths; and Path 3 supports 5 or 15 MHz bandwidths. One can use only one Path (single band: Path 1, Path 2 or Path 3), any of the two Paths (Two contiguous or non-contiguous sub-bands: Path 1 and Path 2, Path 2 and Path 3, Path 1 and Path 3), or all three Paths (Three contiguous or non-contiguous sub-bands: Path1, Path 2 and Path 3). Therefore, the instantaneous bandwidths that the Trilogue-1NM support are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 MHz. The following Band Selection shows that A1 (5 MHz) is selected in Path 1, A3+D (10 MHz) is selected in Path 2, and the entire B band (15 MHz) is selected in Path 3. With this setting, Trilogue-1NM amplifies A1+A3+B bands.

Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 43 of 43 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. 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. Up Converter Module The uplink RF signal that enters through the cavity filter is converted to IF frequency, which is later converted back to RF frequency through SAW filtering. Duplexer It consists of two BPFs (band-pass filters): PCS TX (1930 ~ 1995 MHz) & RX (1850 ~ 1915 MHz) HPA It receives the output signal from the Up/Down converter module and amplifies the signal to the repeater’s rated maximum power level.
