2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
2.1 SYSTEM DIAGRAM
Figure 3: PS DAS Functional Block Diagram
In the downlink path, the BTS signals are received by the donor antenna of the Master Unit. After the duplexer,
the signals are sent to the LNA module for pre-amplification and to the digital RF integrated module for digital
filtering and frequency conversion. Then the DL signals will be sent to the Remote Unit to amplify power by
optical fiber, and filter via the duplexer. After amplification, the signals are transmitted at the MT port to the
service antenna.
In the uplink path, the mobile signals are received by the service antenna. After the MT port duplexer, the
signals are sent to the LNA, integrated module for digital filtering, then the UL signals will be sent to the Master
Unit for power amplification and to the duplexer. After that, the uplink signals are sent to the donor antenna for
transmission back to the BTS.
The devices can detect output power, refer to expect output power which is set by user, the device can reduce
or increase internal ATT automatically and remain the expected output power. This is the AGC principle.

2.3 EQUIPMENT CONSTITUTION
The typical PS DAS unit consists of the following components:
Power Amplifier (PA): It provides power amplification for both the UL and DL branches.
Main Control Unit (MCU): The MCU is used to monitor and control the operation of the repeater. It also
provides the communication interface for remote control and status indication. LED indicators provide the
operation status of the MCU.
Duplexer: The DPX is located near the MT and DT terminals and permits the uplink and downlink signals to
share a common antenna.
Digital Integrated Module and Power Amplifier: Consists of the Power Conversion module, RF module,
digital process module and monitoring modules. The Power Conversion module converts +28V DC voltage into
+9VJK and +9VRF. +9VJK, +9VRF are supplied to the monitoring unit, and the RF unit in the integrated module
separately. The RF module amplifies and converts the RF signal to IF signal. The Digital process module
converts the IF signal into baseband signal via AD conversion and extraction, and filtering. After that, the IF
signal will be amplified and converted to an RF signal by the RF module for RF filtering and amplification. The
Monitoring module monitors and controls the system parameters and is the interface for both remote
monitoring and local commissioning.
Power Supply Unit (PSU): The PSU converts the input voltage into a stable DC supply to provide power for
the internal functional modules.
Optical module: Completes optical signal and RF signal conversion.

recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases,
restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
High Voltage
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably practicable danger. Any
work activity on or near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be, as far as
reasonable, free from danger.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures, wet,
corrosive or dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably installed to
prevent danger.
Protective Earthing
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the
purpose and properly maintained and used.
Handling Precautions
This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object, animal or person from the equipment. It also covers activities that require the use of force
or effort, such as pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Where some of the abovementioned activities are required, the equipment must be handled with care to avoid
being damaged.

3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
3.2.1 SITE PLANNING
Site Considerations
Outdoor equipment are designed to be waterproof, rainproof, and with snow protection. Temporary protection
should be taken when the equipment enclosure is opened for installation or maintenance in an outdoor
environment. The equipment must not be opened for installation or maintenance in bad weather (e.g. gale,
storm rainfall, extreme temperatures and high humidity)
Installation Location
Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment.
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize
interference from electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.
Environmental
Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the equipment in
locations having stable temperature and unrestricted air-flow.
The installation location for the product should be well ventilated. The equipment has been designed to operate
at the temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications in the datasheet.
Direct sun light exposure to the equipment should be avoided. Provide additional shelter if necessary.
Power Supply
The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the product
variant, it is recommended that the PSU be operated on a dedicated circuit breaker or fused circuit.
Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes antennas and all cables connected to the
system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded.
Cable Routing
Depending on equipment configuration, a variety of types of cables are required. Where applicable, ensure
cables are properly routed and secured so that they are not damaged.
Manual Handling
During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical injury to
the installation personnel and the equipment.

Page 19
3.2.2 INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement. Ensure
unrestricted airflow.
Ensure earth ground point is within reach of the ground wire.
Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient capacity.
Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.
Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic
interference.
Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.
Ensure VSWR of antennas system < 1.5:1.
Ensure equipment will be operated within the stated environment (see datasheet)
Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage.
Donor antenna should have a narrow beamwidth and positioned in line-of-sight (LOS) to the donor BTS site
so that the donor signal level is maximized. This allows the use of minimum gain to achieve the maximum
DL output power. The UL gain is typically set lower than or equal to the DL gain to minimize noise
interference to the donor BTS
Service antennas should be selected based on the type of service area, e.g., indoor antenna for indoor
application, and panel antenna for outdoor application.

Protective Ground Connection
The enclosure must be grounded securely by connecting a copper wire (CSA 16mm2) to the grounding terminal
on the equipment/rack, and the other end to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point). An internationally
acceptable color code of the ground connection wire is green/yellow.
Such a ground connection implements the “Protective Ground Connection”, and must be connected to the
equipment at the designated ground point. In general, do not connect the supply before establishing an
adequate ground (earth) connection.
Construct the ground wire, and use appropriate crimp connectors where necessary. Locate and connect the
equipment grounding terminal to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point).
3.4.4 RF CABLE CONNECTION
Single band PS DAS RF cables connection is as follows:
PS DAS MU DT port Connects to the feeder cable from donor antennas.
PS DAS RU MT port Connects to the feeder cable from service antennas.
3.4.5 ETHERNET CONNECTION
Connect Ethernet with ‘LAN’ port in the panel, Ethernet type only.

even if the frequency information or the total channel numbers are
unknown. Users are able to set the DL/UL gain manually any time
after the isolation detection has been completed and passed.
3. Set Channel No.
Enter the total channel numbers
4. Recommended DL and UL
gain parameters
The commissioning guide will provide recommended DL/UL gain
settings.
Users will still need to set all the gains manually in the “Device” pages,
and the frequencies for all the independent channels in the same
“Device” pages after the commissioning process is finished.
