Proprietary Document Page 15 of 43 Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 2.3.3 Grounding A ground cable is included in the packaging and should be properly connected to the repeater as shown below. Figure 8 – Ground Cable Connection Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 16 of 43 Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 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. Server 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. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. Proprietary Document Page 17 of 43 Trilogue-1NM User Manual V1.4 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 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
