Bandpass Filter (02-007206)
The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the passband
frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is basically Chebyshev with
a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of slot coupled, folded combline design, and are
carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss, VSWR and
intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated to reduce surface
ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50Ω load at the input and output ports.
Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life and require
no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the module
rather than attempt repair or re-tuning.
No adjustments should be attempted without full network sweep analysis facilities to monitor both
insertion loss and VSWR simultaneously.

Wideband Asymmetric Coupler (07-015105)
The purpose of Wideband Asymmetric Coupler (07-015105) is to tap off a known portion (in this case
30dB) of RF signal from transmission lines and to combine them, for example through splitter units for
different purposes (alarms/monitoring etc.), whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all
ports/interfaces throughout the specified frequency range. They are known formally as directional
couplers as they couple power from the RF mainline in one direction only.

Switched Attenuator 0.25W, 0 - 15dB (10-000901)
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive.
Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the
gain.
10-000901 provides attenuation from 0 - 15dB in 2 dB steps The attenuation is simply set using the
four miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly marked with the
attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values switched in. They are
designed to maintain an accurate 50Ω impedance over their operating frequency at both input and
output.

Low Noise Amplifier (11-006702)
The Gallium-Arsenide low noise amplifiers used in 800MHz Line Amplifier (55-165703) are double
stage, solid-state low noise amplifiers. Class A circuitry is used throughout the units to ensure
excellent linearity and extremely low noise over a very wide dynamic range. The active devices are
very moderately rated to provide a long trouble-free working life. There are no adjustments on these
amplifiers, and in the unlikely event of a failure, then the complete amplifier should be replaced. This
amplifier features its own in-built alarm system which gives a volt-free relay contact type alarm that is
easily integrated into the main alarm system.

The sub components 17-001109, 17-001117 & 17-001201 are parts of the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system used in 800MHz Line Amplifier (Ext. Amp.) (55-165401); 17-001117 and 17-001201
are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the downlink
800MHz Line Amplifier (Ext. Amp.) (55-165401) is fitted with two differing types of Automatic Gain
Control (AGC) system, one linear, and one logarithmic. The AGC with logarithmic detector (17001117) is fitted in the uplink path and the AGC with linear detector (17-001109) is fitted in the
downlink path
The AFL Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator.
The detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the
attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification.
17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the downlink
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB.
The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated detector controller
board.
Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the RF level
being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it begins to increase
the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set) threshold. Therefore overloading
of the power amplifier is avoided.
The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some adjustment of this
AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is not recommended under any
circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater than the 1dB compression point as
system degradation will occur.

The detector comprises of a 50Ω transmission line with a resistive tap which samples a small portion
of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a conventional half wave diode
rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage proportional to the RF input signal.
This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to the output,
which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator. This unit is fitted at
some earlier point in the RF circuit.
For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the AGC
attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control line voltage will
fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a constant value.

9.4.3.10. 12V (Single) Relay Board (80-008901)
The General Purpose Relay Board allows the inversion of signals and the isolation of circuits. It is
equipped with a single dual pole change-over relay RL1, with completely isolated wiring, accessed
via a 15 way in-line connector. The relay is provided with polarity protection diodes and diodes for
suppressing the transients caused by "flywheel effect" which can destroy switching transistors or
induce spikes on neighbouring circuits. It’s common use is to amalgamate all the alarm signals into
one, volts-free relay contact pair for the main alarm system.

9.4.3.11. Dual Diode Assembly (94-100004)
The purpose of these dual diode assemblies is to allow two DC voltage sources to be combined, so
that the main DC rail within the equipment can be sourced from either a mains driven PSU, or
externally through an XLR connector or from dual mains driven PSUs . They are very heavy-duty
diodes and they prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative
supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from
external back-up batteries.
9.4.3.12. DC/DC Converter 96-200047
96-200047 is an O.E.M. high power device with a wide input range and 12.5 amp @ 12V (150Watts)
output capability used to derive a 12V fixed voltage power supply rail from a higher voltage supply, in
this case 12V. In the event of failure this unit should not be repaired, only replaced.

No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output voltage from
the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically set to 12.2V. The
adjustment potentiometer will be found close to the DC output terminals.
All the PSUs used in AFL Cell Enhancers are capable of operation from either 110 or 220V nominal
AC supplies. The line voltage is sensed automatically, so no adjustment or link setting is needed by
the operator.

10.4.2.1. Single Mode Optical Splitter/Coupler (98-100001)
Single Mode Optical Splitter/Couplers are used whenever it is necessary to split or combine outputs
from optical transmitters or inputs to receivers. Operators should be aware that a small insertion loss
(typically 3-4dB) is common with these type of couplers.
Single Mode Optical Splitter/Coupler (98-100001) It is an O.E.M unit featuring almost negligible
insertion loss to the F/O signal. Extreme caution should be exercised when handling these devices.
Special attention should be shown to the connectors; repair of a broken Splitter/Coupler is not
possible; replacement is the only option.
In the Fibre Optic Splitter (55-165507) in University Station Master Site 1 (80-330552-1), Single Mode
Optical Splitter/Coupler (98-100001) is used to split the optical signal from the FO TX module in F/O

10.4.3.3. Bandpass Filter (02-007206)
The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the passband
frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is basically Chebyshev with
a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of slot coupled, folded combline design, and are
carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss, VSWR and
intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated to reduce surface
ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50Ω load at the input and output ports.
Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life and require
no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the module
rather than attempt repair or re-tuning.
No adjustments should be attempted without full network sweep analysis facilities to monitor both
insertion loss and VSWR simultaneously.

The purpose of Wideband Asymmetric Coupler (07-015105) is to tap off a known portion (in this case
30dB) of RF signal from transmission lines and to combine them, for example through splitter units for
different purposes (alarms/monitoring etc.), whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all
ports/interfaces throughout the specified frequency range. They are known formally as directional

10.4.3.5. Switched Attenuator 0.25Watt, 0 - 30dB (10-000701)
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive.
Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the
gain.
Switched Attenuator 10-000701 provides attenuation from 0 to 30dB in 2 dB steps The attenuation is
simply set using the four miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly
marked with the attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values
switched in. They are designed to maintain an accurate 50Ω impedance over their operating
frequency at both input and output.

10.4.3.6. Low Noise Amplifier (11-005902)
The Gallium-Arsenide low noise amplifier used in the unit is a double stage, solid-state low noise
amplifier. Class A circuitry is used throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity and extremely low
noise over a very wide dynamic range. The active devices are very moderately rated to provide a long
trouble-free working life. There are no adjustments on these amplifiers, and in the unlikely event of a
failure, then the complete amplifier should be replaced. This amplifier features its own in-built alarm
system which gives a volt-free relay contact type alarm that is easily integrated into any alarm system.
There is a Current Fault Alarm Function, which indicates failure of each one or both RF transistors by
a various alarm output options. The amplifier is housed in an aluminium case (Iridite NCP finish) with
SMA connectors for the RF input/output and a 9way D-type for DC and alarm outputs.

AGC Detector Assembly (Logarithmic)
AGC Detector Assembly
AGC Attenuator Assembly
The sub components 17-001109, 17-001117 & 17-001201 are parts of the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system used in 800MHz FO Hub Amplifier + Filters (55-165601); 17-001117 and 17-001201
are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the down link
800MHz FO Hub Amplifier + Filters (55-165601) is fitted with two differing types of Automatic Gain
Control (AGC) system, one linear, and one logarithmic. The AGC with logarithmic detector (17001117) is fitted in the uplink path and the AGC with linear detector (17-001109) is fitted in the
downlink path
The AFL Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator.
The detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the
attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification.
17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the down link
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB.
The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated detector controller
board.
Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the RF level
being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it begins to increase
the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set) threshold. Therefore overloading
of the power amplifier is avoided.
The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some adjustment of this
AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is not recommended under any
circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater than the 1dB compression point as
system degradation will occur.
The detector comprises of a 50Ω transmission line with a resistive tap which samples a small portion
of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a conventional half wave diode
rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage proportional to the RF input signal.
This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to the output,
which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator. This unit is fitted at
some earlier point in the RF circuit.
For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the AGC
attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control line voltage will
fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a constant value.

10.4.3.13. Dual Diode Assembly (94-100004)
The purpose of these dual diode assemblies is to allow two DC voltage sources to be combined, so
that the main DC rail within the equipment can be sourced from either a mains driven PSU, or
externally through an XLR connector or from dual mains driven PSUs. They are very heavy-duty
diodes and they prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative
supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from
external back-up batteries.

10.4.4.5. Switched Attenuator 0.25Watt, 0 - 30dB (10-000701)
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive.
Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the
gain.
Switched Attenuator 10-000701 provides attenuation from 0 to 30dB in 2 dB steps The attenuation is
simply set using the four miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly
marked with the attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values
switched in. They are designed to maintain an accurate 50Ω impedance over their operating
frequency at both input and output.

10.4.4.6. Low Noise Amplifier (11-005902)
The Gallium-Arsenide low noise amplifier used in the unit is a double stage, solid-state low noise
amplifier. Class A circuitry is used throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity and extremely low
noise over a very wide dynamic range. The active devices are very moderately rated to provide a long
trouble-free working life. There are no adjustments on these amplifiers, and in the unlikely event of a
failure, then the complete amplifier should be replaced. This amplifier features its own in-built alarm
system which gives a volt-free relay contact type alarm that is easily integrated into any alarm system.
There is a Current Fault Alarm Function, which indicates failure of each one or both RF transistors by
a various alarm output options. The amplifier is housed in an aluminium case (Iridite NCP finish) with
SMA connectors for the RF input/output and a 9way D-type for DC and alarm outputs.

AGC Detector Assembly (Logarithmic)
AGC Detector Assembly
AGC Attenuator Assembly
The sub components 17-001109, 17-001117 & 17-001201 are parts of the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system used in 700MHz FO Hub Amplifier (55-165602); 17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the downlink
700MHz FO Hub Amplifier (55-165602) is fitted with two differing types of Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system, one linear, and one logarithmic. The AGC with logarithmic detector (17-001117) is
fitted in the uplink path and the AGC with linear detector (17-001109) is fitted in the downlink path
The AFL Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator.
The detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the
attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification.
17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the downlink
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB.
The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated detector controller
board.
Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the RF level
being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it begins to increase
the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set) threshold. Therefore overloading
of the power amplifier is avoided.
The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some adjustment of this
AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is not recommended under any
circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater than the 1dB compression point as
system degradation will occur.
The detector comprises of a 50Ω transmission line with a resistive tap which samples a small portion
of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a conventional half wave diode
rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage proportional to the RF input signal.
This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to the output,
which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator. This unit is fitted at
some earlier point in the RF circuit.
For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the AGC
attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control line voltage will
fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a constant value.

10.4.4.13. Dual Diode Assembly (94-100004)
The purpose of these dual diode assemblies is to allow two DC voltage sources to be combined, so
that the main DC rail within the equipment can be sourced from either a mains driven PSU, or
externally through an XLR connector or from dual mains driven PSUs. They are very heavy-duty
diodes and they prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative
supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from
external back-up batteries.

No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output voltage from
the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically set to 12.2V. The
adjustment potentiometer will be found close to the DC output terminals.
All the PSUs used in AFL Cell Enhancers are capable of operation from either 110 or 220V nominal

11.4.1.1. Single Mode Optical Splitter/Coupler (98-100001)
Single Mode Optical Splitter/Couplers are used whenever it is necessary to split or combine outputs
from optical transmitters or inputs to receivers. Operators should be aware that a small insertion loss
(typically 3-4dB) is common with these type of couplers.
Single Mode Optical Splitter/Coupler (98-100001) It is an O.E.M unit featuring almost negligible
insertion loss to the F/O signal. Extreme caution should be exercised when handling these devices.
Special attention should be shown to the connectors; repair of a broken Splitter/Coupler is not
possible; replacement is the only option.

11.4.2.3. Bandpass Filter (02-007206)
The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the passband
frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is basically Chebyshev with
a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of slot coupled, folded combline design, and are
carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss, VSWR and
intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated to reduce surface
ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50Ω load at the input and output ports.
Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life and require
no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the module
rather than attempt repair or re-tuning.
No adjustments should be attempted without full network sweep analysis facilities to monitor both
insertion loss and VSWR simultaneously.

11.4.2.4. Wideband Asymmetric Coupler (07-015105)
The purpose of Wideband Asymmetric Coupler (07-015105) is to tap off a known portion (in this case
30dB) of RF signal from transmission lines and to combine them, for example through splitter units for
different purposes (alarms/monitoring etc.), whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all
ports/interfaces throughout the specified frequency range. They are known formally as directional
couplers as they couple power from the RF mainline in one direction only.

11.4.2.5. Switched Attenuator 0.25Watt, 0 - 30dB (10-000701)
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive.
Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the
gain.
Switched Attenuator 10-000701 provides attenuation from 0 to 30dB in 2 dB steps The attenuation is
simply set using the four miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly
marked with the attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values
switched in. They are designed to maintain an accurate 50Ω impedance over their operating
frequency at both input and output.

11.4.2.6. Low Noise Amplifier (11-005902)
The Gallium-Arsenide low noise amplifier used in the unit is a double stage, solid-state low noise
amplifier. Class A circuitry is used throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity and extremely low
noise over a very wide dynamic range. The active devices are very moderately rated to provide a long
trouble-free working life. There are no adjustments on these amplifiers, and in the unlikely event of a
failure, then the complete amplifier should be replaced. This amplifier features its own in-built alarm
system which gives a volt-free relay contact type alarm that is easily integrated into any alarm system.
There is a Current Fault Alarm Function, which indicates failure of each one or both RF transistors by
a various alarm output options. The amplifier is housed in an aluminium case (Iridite NCP finish) with
SMA connectors for the RF input/output and a 9way D-type for DC and alarm outputs.

AGC Detector Assembly
AGC Attenuator Assembly
The sub components 17-001109, 17-001117 & 17-001201 are parts of the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system used in 800MHz FO Hub Amplifier + Filters (55-165601); 17-001117 and 17-001201
are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the down link
800MHz FO Hub Amplifier + Filters (55-165601) is fitted with two differing types of Automatic Gain
Control (AGC) system, one linear, and one logarithmic. The AGC with logarithmic detector (17001117) is fitted in the uplink path and the AGC with linear detector (17-001109) is fitted in the
downlink path
The AFL Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator.
The detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the
attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification.
17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the down link
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB.
The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated detector controller
board.
Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the RF level
being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it begins to increase
the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set) threshold. Therefore overloading
of the power amplifier is avoided.
The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some adjustment of this
AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is not recommended under any
circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater than the 1dB compression point as
system degradation will occur.
The detector comprises of a 50Ω transmission line with a resistive tap which samples a small portion
of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a conventional half wave diode
rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage proportional to the RF input signal.
This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to the output,
which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator. This unit is fitted at
some earlier point in the RF circuit.
For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the AGC
attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control line voltage will
fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a constant value.

11.4.2.13. Dual Diode Assembly (94-100004)
The purpose of these dual diode assemblies is to allow two DC voltage sources to be combined, so
that the main DC rail within the equipment can be sourced from either a mains driven PSU, or
externally through an XLR connector or from dual mains driven PSUs. They are very heavy-duty
diodes and they prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative
supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from
external back-up batteries.

11.4.3.5. Switched Attenuator 0.25Watt, 0 - 30dB (10-000701)
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive.
Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the
gain.
Switched Attenuator 10-000701 provides attenuation from 0 to 30dB in 2 dB steps The attenuation is
simply set using the four miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly
marked with the attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values
switched in. They are designed to maintain an accurate 50Ω impedance over their operating
frequency at both input and output.

11.4.3.6. Low Noise Amplifier (11-005902)
The Gallium-Arsenide low noise amplifier used in the unit is a double stage, solid-state low noise
amplifier. Class A circuitry is used throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity and extremely low
noise over a very wide dynamic range. The active devices are very moderately rated to provide a long
trouble-free working life. There are no adjustments on these amplifiers, and in the unlikely event of a
failure, then the complete amplifier should be replaced. This amplifier features its own in-built alarm
system which gives a volt-free relay contact type alarm that is easily integrated into any alarm system.
There is a Current Fault Alarm Function, which indicates failure of each one or both RF transistors by
a various alarm output options. The amplifier is housed in an aluminium case (Iridite NCP finish) with
SMA connectors for the RF input/output and a 9way D-type for DC and alarm outputs.

AGC Detector Assembly (Logarithmic)
AGC Detector Assembly
AGC Attenuator Assembly
The sub components 17-001109, 17-001117 & 17-001201 are parts of the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system used in 700MHz FO Hub Amplifier (55-165602); 17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the downlink
700MHz FO Hub Amplifier (55-165602) is fitted with two differing types of Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system, one linear, and one logarithmic. The AGC with logarithmic detector (17-001117) is
fitted in the uplink path and the AGC with linear detector (17-001109) is fitted in the downlink path
The AFL Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator.
The detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the
attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification.
17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the downlink
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB.
The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated detector controller
board.
Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the RF level
being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it begins to increase
the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set) threshold. Therefore overloading
of the power amplifier is avoided.
The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some adjustment of this
AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is not recommended under any
circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater than the 1dB compression point as
system degradation will occur.
The detector comprises of a 50Ω transmission line with a resistive tap which samples a small portion
of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a conventional half wave diode
rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage proportional to the RF input signal.
This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to the output,
which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator. This unit is fitted at
some earlier point in the RF circuit.
For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the AGC
attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control line voltage will
fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a constant value.

The purpose of these dual diode assemblies is to allow two DC voltage sources to be combined, so
that the main DC rail within the equipment can be sourced from either a mains driven PSU, or
externally through an XLR connector or from dual mains driven PSUs. They are very heavy-duty
diodes and they prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative
supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from
external back-up batteries.

12.4.1.3. Bandpass Filter (02-007206)
The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the passband
frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is basically Chebyshev with
a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of slot coupled, folded combline design, and are
carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss, VSWR and
intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated to reduce surface
ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50Ω load at the input and output ports.
Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life and require
no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the module
rather than attempt repair or re-tuning.
No adjustments should be attempted without full network sweep analysis facilities to monitor both
insertion loss and VSWR simultaneously.

In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive.
Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the
gain.
10-000901 provides attenuation from 0 - 15dB in 2 dB steps The attenuation is simply set using the
four miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly marked with the
attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values switched in. They are
designed to maintain an accurate 50Ω impedance over their operating frequency at both input and

AGC Detector Assembly
AGC Attenuator Assembly
The sub components 17-001109, 17-001117 & 17-001201 are parts of the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system used in 800MHz Line Amplifier (55-165703); 17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for
use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the downlink
800MHz Line Amplifier (55-165703) is fitted with two differing types of Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
system, one linear, and one logarithmic. The AGC with logarithmic detector (17-001117) is fitted in the
uplink path and the AGC with linear detector (17-001109) is fitted in the downlink path
The AFL Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator.
The detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the
attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification.
17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the downlink
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB.
The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated detector controller
board.
Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the RF level
being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it begins to increase
the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set) threshold. Therefore overloading
of the power amplifier is avoided.
The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some adjustment of this
AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is not recommended under any
circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater than the 1dB compression point as
system degradation will occur.

Page 222 of 500
The detector comprises of a 50Ω transmission line with a resistive tap which samples a small portion
of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a conventional half wave diode
rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage proportional to the RF input signal.
This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to the output,
which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator. This unit is fitted at
some earlier point in the RF circuit.
For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the AGC
attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control line voltage will
fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a constant value.

12.4.1.10. 12V (Dual) Relay Board (20-001601)
The General Purpose Relay Board allows the inversion of signals and the isolation of circuits. It is
equipped with two dual pole change-over relays with completely isolated wiring, accessed via screw
terminals. Both relays are provided with polarity protection diodes and diodes for suppressing the
transients caused by "flywheel effect" which can destroy switching transistors or induce spikes on
neighbouring circuits. It’s common use is to amalgamate all the alarm signals into one, volts-free relay
contact pair for the main alarm system.

12.4.1.12. Dual Diode Assembly (94-100004)
The purpose of these dual diode assemblies is to allow two DC voltage sources to be combined, so
that the main DC rail within the equipment can be sourced from either a mains driven PSU, or
externally through an XLR connector or from dual mains driven PSUs . They are very heavy-duty
diodes and they prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative
supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from
external back-up batteries.

No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output voltage from
the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically set to 12.2V. The
adjustment potentiometer will be found close to the DC output terminals.
All the PSUs used in AFL Cell Enhancers are capable of operation from either 110 or 220V nominal
AC supplies. The line voltage is sensed automatically, so no adjustment or link setting is needed by
the operator.

AGC Detector Assembly (Logarithmic)
AGC Detector Assembly
AGC Attenuator Assembly
The sub components 17-001109, 17-001117 & 17-001201 are parts of the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system used in 700MHz Line Amplifier (55-165704); 17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for
use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the downlink
700MHz Line Amplifier (55-165704) is fitted with two differing types of Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
system, one linear, and one logarithmic. The AGC with logarithmic detector (17-001117) is fitted in the
uplink path and the AGC with linear detector (17-001109) is fitted in the downlink path
The AFL Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator.
The detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the
attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification.
17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the downlink
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB.
The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated detector controller
board.
Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the RF level
being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it begins to increase
the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set) threshold. Therefore overloading
of the power amplifier is avoided.
The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some adjustment of this
AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is not recommended under any
circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater than the 1dB compression point as
system degradation will occur.

The detector comprises of a 50Ω transmission line with a resistive tap which samples a small portion
of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a conventional half wave diode
rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage proportional to the RF input signal.
This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to the output,
which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator. This unit is fitted at
some earlier point in the RF circuit.
For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the AGC
attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control line voltage will
fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a constant value.

12.4.2.10. 12V (Single) Relay Board (80-008901)
The General Purpose Relay Board allows the inversion of signals and the isolation of circuits. It is
equipped with a single dual pole change-over relay RL1, with completely isolated wiring, accessed
via a 15 way in-line connector.
The relay is provided with polarity protection diodes and diodes for suppressing the transients caused
by "flywheel effect" which can destroy switching transistors or induce spikes on neighbouring circuits.
It’s common use is to amalgamate all the alarm signals into one, volts-free relay contact pair for the
main alarm system.

12.4.2.11. Dual Diode Assembly (94-100004)
The purpose of these dual diode assemblies is to allow two DC voltage sources to be combined, so
that the main DC rail within the equipment can be sourced from either a mains driven PSU, or
externally through an XLR connector or from dual mains driven PSUs . They are very heavy-duty
diodes and they prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative
supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from
external back-up batteries.
12.4.2.12. DC/DC Converter 96-200047
96-200047 is an O.E.M. high power device with a wide input range and 12.5 amp @ 12V (150Watts)
output capability used to derive a 12V fixed voltage power supply rail from a higher voltage supply, in
this case 12V. In the event of failure this unit should not be repaired, only replaced.

No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output voltage from
the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically set to 12.2V. The
adjustment potentiometer will be found close to the DC output terminals.
All the PSUs used in AFL Cell Enhancers are capable of operation from either 110 or 220V nominal
AC supplies. The line voltage is sensed automatically, so no adjustment or link setting is needed by
the operator.

900MHz Splitter/Combiner (05-002602)
The Splitter/Combiner used is a device for accurately matching two or more RF signals to single or
multiple ports, whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all inputs/outputs and ensuring that the
VSWR and insertion losses are kept to a minimum. Any unused ports should be terminated with an
appropriate 50Ω load.
Being passive devices, the splitters should have an extremely long operational life and require no
maintenance. Should a unit be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the whole module
rather than attempt repair or re-tuning.

In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive.
Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the
gain.
10-000901 provides attenuation from 0 - 15dB in 2 dB steps The attenuation is simply set using the
four miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly marked with the
