1. Safety and Environmental
The electrical installation has to be performed in
accordance with the safety regulations of the local
authorities. Due to safety reasons, the electrical
installation must be performed by qualified
personnel only. The repeater must not be opened.
The antennas of the repeater (integrated and / or
external) have to be installed in a way that the
regional and national RF exposure compliance
requirements are met.
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, the following antenna installation
and device operating configurations must be
satisfied: A separation distance of at least 20 cm
must be maintained between the antenna of this
device and all persons. RF exposure compliance
may need to be addressed at the time of licensing,
as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s),
including antenna co-location requirements of
1.1307(b)(3). Maximum permissible antenna gain
is 12 dBi.
The miniRepeaters must only be used for
indoor applications!
2. Quick-Start Checklist
Adjust channel(s); see chapter 10.
Mount the repeater; see chapter 6.
Install donor and coverage antennas.
Provide the repeater with power; see chapter 3.
Adjust the attenuation; see chapter 12.
Start the adjustment with the maximum attenuation
and decrease attenuation until the ALC becomes
active and the ALC alarm LED lights up. Then
increase attenuation until the ALC alarm is inactive
again.
or
Select auto-setup; see chapter 12.
Check for alarms; see chapter 13.
3. RF and Power Connectors
G0783ZR
The miniRepeaters are equipped with two RF antenna
ports: one antenna port that provides RF signals
to/from mobile(s) and another antenna port on the
opposite side of the miniRepeater that provides RF
signals side to/from the BTS. Both of these
connectors are SMA-Female. Two coaxial jumper
cables are included with the miniRepeaters to provide
N-female connection ports.
The socket for the DC supply is situated to the right of
the “to/from BTS” RF connector. The power supply
voltage for this connection point is 6.7 to 7.5 VDC,
with a typical current draw of 1.7 amps. Only the
Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplied with the
MiniRepeater must be used.
An alternative method to provide power to the
MiniRepeater is through the “to/from BTS” RF
connector via the coaxial cable and a bias-T at the
source. The DC socket of the repeater must not be
connected if the unit is biased via the RF port.

4. Functional Description
The operation principle of the miniRepeaters is given
with regard to the following block diagram.
manual Attenuation
setting
automatic
E0783B0
Downlink signals from the BTS reach the internal
duplexer through the “to/from BTS” RF port. Following
the DL path from the duplexer, the RF signals are
amplified by an LNA, which feeds the amplified
signals to a mixer. The mixer converts the signals
down to an intermediate frequency (IF), where a high
rejection IF filter provides excellent selectivity to allow
only the user’s frequency band to be repeated. After
the IF filter, the signals are re-converted to the original
frequency by means of another mixer. A final amplifier
boosts the RF signals to the required output power.
After the final amplifier, a power detection circuit
measures the output power and controls the gain
through a closed loop feedback circuit. This feature is
the automatic level control (ALC), which prevents the
repeater from being overdriven and maintains
intermodulation products and spectrum emissions
below the regulation limits. Finally, the RF signals are
fed to the external antenna through the duplexer and
“to/from Mobile” RF port.
The uplink signals are received by the external
antenna through the “to/from Mobile” RF port and are
then fed to the duplexer. After the duplexer the RF
circuitry and functionality is identical to the downlink
path, which provides high rejection filtering for the
desired operation frequency band and ALC
functionality.

6. Wall Mounting
The miniRepeater may only be mounted
horizontally to a wall according to the above
drawing to ensure the natural convection
cooling. Do not mount the miniRepeater to the
ceiling!
Always choose a mounting location that
avoids condensation!

10. Start-Frequency Switch Settings
As described in chapter 4 Functional Description, the
miniRepeaters utilise a high rejection filter to allow
only the desired frequency band to be repeated. The
miniRepeaters are available in different bandwidths
with field adjustable start frequencies to support the
desired frequency band of the user.
Two rotary switches, located on the side of the
miniRepeater, are provided for setting the start
frequency (SF) of the high rejection filter. The SF of
the high rejection filter may be adjusted in either 200
or 250 kHz steps, dependent upon the miniRepeater
model.
Following are tables that show the filter band-pass
start frequencies corresponding to the switch settings.
The following section will show tables of standard
user settings.

11. Standard Frequency Band Settings
The following tables show SF switch settings that would provide the appropriate passband frequency response
required for specific SF bands. Note that the passband response may be different than the filter bandwidth of the
miniRepeater. In these instances, the miniRepeater high rejection filter is used in conjunction with the duplexer
response to narrow the actual band-pass response.

12. Attenuation Setting
The attenuation of the miniRepeater can be set by
means of a rotary switch. There is a label on the
miniRepeater that shows the possible positions of the
rotary switch and the corresponding values of the
attenuation. The attenuation can be set, using a small
screwdriver, in the range from 0 dB to 20 dB in steps
of 2 dB or “auto setup” may be selected.
When auto setup is selected, the miniRepeater will
automatically set its gain to maximize RF
performance. The downlink gain will be automatically
set to operate the repeater at its maximum output
power, while not exceeding the ALC limit. The uplink
gain will be set to the value of the downlink path.
If the level of the BTS signal increases, the
miniRepeater will decrease the gain in the downlink
and uplink paths automatically. However, the
miniRepeater will increase the gain again in timely
intervals of 24 hours if the level of the BTS signal
decreases.

13. Alarming and Supervision
13.1. Functional Description of the Alarming-

For alarming and supervision, the miniRepeater is
provided with an alarming interface represented by
two LEDs and output contacts:

equipment status information:

window) or LO (Local Oscillator) does

LED2: This one-colour LED provides visual
information about the ALC-status (Automatic

14. Heartbeat Setting
In a remote monitoring system, heartbeat signalling is
a very useful method to monitor whether the
supervision connection to a device is still operational.
Without heartbeat signalling, there would be no
indication if the supervision connection failed.
The heartbeat interval can be set by means of a rotary
switch, which is accessible on the top of the
miniRepeater. Use a small screwdriver to turn the
switch carefully to the position for the required interval
(1 to 72 hours) according to the label in the cover.
