BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX Rev 1.06 2009-05 CELLVINE LTD. BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX 1. Introduction 1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The goal of the Repeater system is to improve coverage for T-MOBILE AWS (1710-1755MHz, 2110-2155 MHz) in medium size indoor areas of up to 50,000 sq. ft. Figure 1-1: BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX Repeater The system implements BDA technology to enhance coverage in urban areas. Repeaters are used to fill out uncovered areas in cellular mobile systems, such as base station fringe areas, road tunnels, business and industrial buildings, etc. A Repeater receives signals from a base station, amplifies the signals and retransmits them to service area. It also receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both directions are served simultaneously. In order to receive and transmit signals in both directions, the Repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area to be covered. Control of the Repeaters is performed using a desktop or laptop computer equipped with standard browser (no special software) which can communicate with the Repeaters, either locally or remotely via modem (optional).

BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX 3.2 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT Cellvine's indoor Repeaters are intended for installation indoors only. Do not install them where they might be exposed to direct sunlight and rain\snow conditions as this could be harmful to the unit. For normal operation, the environmental conditions should be as follows: Ambient temperature range: –20 °C to +60 °C, Maximum Humidity: 90 %. 3.3 PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION Before beginning the Repeater installation determine the following: Base station location and receiving power ( Tx power in dBm ) Location where the DONOR/ Service antenna is to be installed Location where the Repeater is to be installed Length of coaxial cable needed to connect from the Donor antenna to the Repeater unit Length of coaxial cable needed to connect from the Repeater unit to the indoor antenna/s. Isolation estimation between the donor and the coverage antenna/s. 3.4 ANTENNAS INSTALLATION 3.4.1 Coverage (Service) Antennas Coverage (service) antennas are facing to the service area. The mostly used Antennas for indoor applications are Omni or panel antennas. When multiple indoor areas need coverage, more than one antenna can be used. The indoor antennas are usually placed near the ceiling with decorative covers, antenna location decisions take into account isolation issues and overcoming interfering signals. For outdoor coverage, panel antennas are commonly used, location of the antenna is defined by coverage and isolation matter. BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX Rev 1.06 2009-05 CELLVINE LTD. BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX 3.4.2 DONOR Antenna DONOR antenna is installed outside, facing to the donor BTS. The donor cell site should be chosen by considering capacity, range and signal level in the outdoor antenna location. The location should be chosen so that the donor cell site will be received at a higher level than all other adjacent cell sites. If possible this antenna should be faced directly to the nearest cellular site with a line of sight view. This antenna should also be properly grounded with an appropriate grounding strap and lightning protection if needed. Install the antenna according to antenna manufacturer instructions.

BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX 3.8 TUNING DONOR ANTENNA Locate a potential site for installing the Donor Antenna with an accessible and comfortable working space. If possible locate a place with a line of sight to the Donor BTS. Deploy a coax cable between the Donor antenna and the Repeater location and connect to the DONOR connector. In order to achieve the best signal reception quality at the donor antenna, rotate the antenna gently sideways and measure signal strength by an approved test set. 3.9 ANTENNA ISOLATION To assure proper Repeater operation, the isolation between the indoor (Service) and Donor antennas should be higher than the Repeater's maximal gain (15dB difference is recommended). This parameter can be measured by injecting a pilot signal at the indoor antenna's (DAS) connector and measuring the received signal at the DONOR antenna connector. The isolation measured should be at least 15dB higher then the MAX GAIN of the repeater. It is recommended to perform the test using a sweep signal generator to cover the whole band. It is also recommended, to perform the test in the opposite direction. (Injecting to the donor antenna and measuring at the Service antenna's connector).
