EQUIPMENT CONSTITUTION
The typical PS BDA unit consists of the following components:
Downlink Power Amplifier (DPA): It provides power amplification for DL branches.
Uplink Power Amplifier (UPA): It provides power amplification for UL 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.
Downlink Filter: The filter is used to restrain the uplink signals to achieve a better isolation between downlink
path and uplink path, to make sure the device can work in a normal duplex mode.
Uplink Filter: The filter is used to restrain the downlink signals to achieve a better isolation between downlink
path and uplink path, to make sure the device can work in a normal duplex mode.
Digital Integrated Module: Consists of RF module, digital process module and monitoring modules. 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 it is the interface for both remote monitoring and local commissioning,
and at the same time control the charge and discharge of the backup battery.
Power Supply Unit (PSU): The PSU converts the input voltage into a stable DC supply to provide power for
the internal functional modules.

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.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-4122
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.

3.4.3 GROUNDING CONNECTION
Ground Connection
To ensure safe operation of the product, a ground (earth) connection is required. For single phase AC power
source, the product must be grounded by connecting the “earth wire” of the power cord to the ground terminal
of the AC supply. For operating this product with DC power system (such as rectifiers), the product should not
be connected to power systems that switch open the return lead because the return lead could function as the
ground (earth) connection for the equipment.
Protective Ground Connection
The enclosure must be grounded securely by connecting a copper wire (CSA 16mm ) 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 BDA RF cables connection is as follows:

PS BDA MT port  Connects to the feeder cable from service antennas.

It is mainly used to record device location and Date/Time provides a time reference. Clicking the Config Value
of Date/Time will update the Date/Time automatically.
Step 4 : Click
to enter to Sub Band Setting.
Reminder:

Make sure the frequency of sub-bands match the actual frequency of filters, or BDA cannot work normally.

If the frequency is within [450MHz,470MHz], the bandwidth between DL Freq Low and DL Freq High can
be adjusted from 0.2 to 5MHz only. If the frequency is within[ 470,512], the bandwidth between DL Freq
Low and DL Freq High can be adjusted from 0.2-3MHz.

The frequency edges of two sub bands can be overlap, but they cannot be cross-contained.

The channel center frequency must be within the frequency range of its relative sub-band, if it is not within
the range, the system will show a reminder window to show the setting unsuccessful.

If the sub band is off, all the channels belong to the sub band are auto set to off.

The procedure of sub band switch on: sub band 1 is first, and then 2, 3, 4. The procedure of sub band
switch off: sub band 4 is first, and then 3, 2, 1. And the isolation use sub band 1 to test, so make sure sub
band 1 is always on when BDA is working.
NOTE: Make sure the device is connected with appropriate donor and service antennas before
proceeding to step 5.
