This is a Class B Booster.
Part 90 (Class B) Signal Boosters
WARNING. This is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by FCC
LICENSEES and QUALIFIED INSTALLERS. You MUST have an FCC LICENSE or express
consent of an FCC Licensee to operate this device. You MUST register Class B signal
boosters (as defined in 47 CFR 90.219) online at www.fcc.gov/signal-booster/registration.
Unauthorized use may result in significant forfeiture penalties, including penalties in excess of

https://signalboosters.fcc.gov/signal-boosters/
F.2 PART 90 CLASS B SIGNAL BOOSTERS Licensees and signal booster operators are
required to register existing Class B signal booster installations with the FCC by November
1, 2014. After November 1, 2014, operation of an existing, unregistered Class B signal
booster will be unauthorized and subject to enforcement action. Any new Class B signal
booster installed after November 1, 2014 must be registered prior to operation. To
encourage compliance with this new requirement, registration will be free of cost to the
operator and/or licensee.[R11], [R9]

Description
There are two major elements to the MSU system; the Head End (HE) hardware and the Remote
Hardware. There is one HE and multiple remotes.
Each Remote consists of a single Fiber-Fed Power Amplifier chassis. The Remote chassis
contains a Down Link Power Amplifier, and Up Link LNA, and a Fiber Optic Transmitter and
Receiver.
The Head End consists of a Fiber-Fed Power Amplifier (FFPA) chassis, a DSP Chassis, and Fiber
Optic Chassis. The FFPA chassis contains an Up Link Power Amplifier, a Down Link LNA, and a
Duplexer. The DSP Chassis contains one each Uplink and Down Link DSP filter cards. The Fiber
Optic Chassis contains a FO Transmitter and FO Receiver for each Remote
In the Uplink (UL) path, signals from portable radios are input to the Remote DAS. These signals
are amplified in a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and converted to light by a Fiber Optic Transmitter in
the Remote chassis, and transmitted to the Head End via fiber optic cable. In the Head End rack,
the light from the fiber optic cable is converted back to RF by a Fiber Optic Receiver; the RF is
filtered in the UL DSP Card and the filtered signal is input to the power amplifier module. The
amplified RF is fed to the outside antenna via a duplexer.
In the Downlink (DL) path, signals from user radios (Motorola radios that are FCC certified) are
input to the Head End LNA. These signals are filtered in the DL DSP Card, combined with signals
from a Motorobo repeater, converted to light by a HE Fiber Optic Transmitter, and transmitted to
the FFPA via fiber optic cable. In the Remote chassis, the light from the fiber optic cable is
converted back to RF by a Fiber Optic Receiver, and the RF is input to a power amplifier module.
The amplified RF is input to a bandpass filter; the filtered RF feeds the Distributed Antenna
System (DAS) in the building where the remote hardware is located.
A Sample Port on the front panel of the FFPA allows the user to sample the signal without
interrupting main line communications. The Sample Port is 40 dB below the main RF output port.
The FFPA has a processor board that monitors overall chassis operation. The processor board
controls the enable signal to the amplifier and monitors forward power, reverse power, current, fan
status and heat sink temperature. Forward and reverse power are derived from directional
couplers built into the amplifier modules.
Heat sink temperature is derived from a thermistor mounted onto the heat sink and amplifier
current from a sense resistor in series with the +28-volt power input. The fan has a built-in
stopped rotor line which is input to the processor board.
The processor board features optional remote monitoring capability via Ethernet. The Graphical
User Interface (GUI) of the Network Management System (NMS) computer can display the status
of the amplifier and provide control.

Downlink
The Downlink chain of the Head End consists of a Duplexer, a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) and
a digital signal processor (DSP) card. The RF signal is applied to “ A “ shown below at the
Duplexer Input/Output port.
The Duplexer separates the Downlink signals from the Uplink signals. The Downlink port of
the Duplexer is connected to the input of the LNA. The RF signal is amplified by the LNA and
comes out at a higher level at “ B. “ The RF signal from the LNA is fed into the DSP card for
filtering and level adjustment to ensure the signal level is always constant at “ C. “

Uplink
The Uplink chain of the Head End consists of a digital signal processor (DSP) card, a LowNoise Amplifier (LNA) and a Duplexer. The RF signal is applied to “ A “ shown below at the
DSP RF In port.
The RF signal is fed into the DSP card for filtering and level adjustment to ensure the signal
level is always constant at “ B. “ The signal goes into the power amplifier and is fed into the
Uplink port of the Duplexer. The Duplexer separates the Downlink signals from the Uplink
signals. The signal comes out at “ C. “
The amplifier has an Automatic Level Control (ALC) feature. This feature limits the power
amplifier output in case the input to the amplifier exceeds the required level.
The power amplifier ALC level is set to +30 dBm.
