Date D100200-REF 1.02 2012-10-09 Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark BS414 Base Station Page 1 of 7 1.1 BS414 BASE STATION - 4 CARRIER Description DAMM BS414 is a 4-carrier TETRA indoor base station and is complementary to DAMM BS421 and DAMM BS411 TETRA base stations. The BS414 may be used in networks where medium traffic capacity is required (up to 15 Erlang). It is designed for a fully IP based connectivity and allows for remote supervision and diagnostic, test, control, setting and software update, file transfer and SNMP. Its embedded Operate & Maintenance (OM) system is reached by means of Windows desktop. The BS414 support discontinuous transmission fully GPS synchronized. This allows a dramatic decrease in power consumption, as only the active TR412 (‘s) needs to be powered, until traffic load requires more carriers to be on air. BS414 fully supports Voice + Data services in full and half duplex modes, compliant with the ETSI EN 300 392 Access to all field replaceable units (FRU) is from the front, protected by a lockable door, and all external connectors in located on top of the rack. The BS414 consist of the base station controller, the transceiver modules, the combiner system and the filter system. In the receiver path a separate Tower Mounted Amplifier/Duplexer (TMD412) is an integrated functional part of BS414.](https://usermanual.wiki/Damm-Cellular-Systems-A-S/104012.User-addendum-4-carrier-11-01-12/User-Guide-1828318-Page-1.png)
![Doc. No. Rev. Date D100200-REF 1.02 2012-10-09 Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark BS414 Base Station Page 2 of 7 The TMD412 is intended for mast/tower mounting. Substantially the unit is a receiver amplifier, but can be coupled as an amplifier with build in duplex filter. Using the TMD412 in Duplex mode needs to take into consideration the numbers of carriers and frequencies used, in order to eliminate potential interference. The TMD412 amplification of the received signals fully eliminates the feeder cable loss by up to 8dBm., which gives superior radio coverage performance and link balance. The BS414 rack contains (ref. to figure 1 and 2 on page 4-5): Base Station Controller, BSC412. The operating system in the BSC412 executes DAMM’s TetraFlex® system software and may as well execute Tetra system software from DAMM OEM Partner. By installing a second redundant BCS412 in the BS414 rack, reliability will be improved. BSC412 is equipped with an internal GPS receiver giving accurate time, date and frequency synchronization of all installed TR412’s and to allow the base station to run full time synchronous with other base stations in a network. This is necessary for optimum cell-reselection and seamless handover from mobiles. Missing GPS signals will cause the internal high stability oscillator to take over synchronization. The GPS sync input signal from a single GPS antenna may as well allow for external synchronization in tunnels solutions and in other operational areas where GPS signals cannot be received directly. It is provided with an enhanced processer with the ability to handle a complete TETRA site. It contains enhanced Ethernet LAN and WAN connections intended for Voice over IP switching. Dongle management of software licenses can be provided via an USB port. Power Supply, PS411. The PS411 is connected to mains, 100 to 240VAC 47-63Hz, or -48V batteries and supply all units in the rack and the TMD412 and beside offers -48VDC for auxiliary units and/or the ability to charge an external battery, controlled by the External Battery Kit. The power supply cassette has space for the necessary numbers of PS411 to supply the fully equipped rack plus one more for N+1 redundancy. All Power supplies have load sharing to improve reliability. A built-in micro-controller in the PS411 allows close monitoring of all main parameters both via the O&M interface and from the network management system. Configuration can be stored directly in the PS411, but will normally be controlled of common configurations in the BSC411 Base Station Controller.](https://usermanual.wiki/Damm-Cellular-Systems-A-S/104012.User-addendum-4-carrier-11-01-12/User-Guide-1828318-Page-2.png)
![Doc. No. Rev. Date D100200-REF 1.02 2012-10-09 Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark BS414 Base Station Page 3 of 7 Transceiver, TR412 The TR412 Transceiver is a complete TETRA carrier unit The TX section contains a linear, low noise transmitter linearized with a Cartesian loop. It can deliver a peak output power of 60W, giving a nominal output power of 25W TETRA . Modulation and power control is performed in software of the DSP. The output amplifier is protected with a VSWR protection circuit and a temperature protection scheme. The forward and reflected power can be measured with built-in RMS power meters. An RFTL output, is available for Base Station test. The RX is a double super-heterodyne high dynamic range receiver provided with dual diversity with separate RX paths all the way to the DSP. The final selectivity, diversity combination, demodulation etc. is made in DSP software. The 16-bit micro-controller handles the general control functions of the transceiver, boot of DSP, O&M communications etc. It also handles the packet mode communication on the HDLC bus to the BSC412. All internal frequencies are generated with PLL’s locked to the information coming from the BSC. TX Combiner, TC411. The TC411 is a 4-way TX cavity combiner module used to combine the individual TX outputs to a single cable. The TC411 consists of 4 motor-tuned ¼ or ¾ λ TEM resonators. The inputs are provided with dual circulators with high-power loads, which are able to dissipate the reflected power when the TX antenna is missing or the cavity is tuned to a frequency not matching the transmitter. An RF detector is provided on the high-power load used for manual adjustment and alarm generation. The TC411 is equipped with the TCC411 TC Combiner Controller with built-in micro-controller, which controls the motors. At power-up, the micro-controller initializes the tuning position against a mechanical end stop. The TCC411 is connected to the O&M UART bus and can be reached with O&M commands from the BSC412. As option a Hybrid Combiner can replace the cavity combiner offering smaller channel separation, but reduces the TX output with approximately 3dB. TX Filter, TF411. The TF411 is a high power TX filter, which reduces the radiation in the RX band, and is connected to the TX antenna socket located on top of rack. Tower Mounted Amplifier/Duplexer, TMD412. The TMD412 contains two low-loss highly selective RX filters and two low-noise high dynamic range amplifiers which amplify the RXA and RXB signals. The TMD412 also contains a duplex filter, which can be used to combine the TX and one of the RX antennas to a single antenna. The duplex part of the TMD412 is optimized for low loss and extremely low inter-modulation distortion. When using the duplex filter option, care shall be taken not to use TX frequencies generating 5 th order inter-modulations products in the RX frequencies](https://usermanual.wiki/Damm-Cellular-Systems-A-S/104012.User-addendum-4-carrier-11-01-12/User-Guide-1828318-Page-3.png)

The AI411 Antenna Interface unit is used in all Base Station (BS411and BS414) and contains all the necessary circuit to support a complete Radio Cell including support of the Tower Mounted Amplifier/Duplexer TMD412 with all functions. The two independent RX multi-coupler amplifiers are built with low-noise high dynamic range transistors. They have DC-insertion in the feeders for the TMA/TMD and alarm circuits to monitor the TMA/TMD’s and the internal amplifiers´ current consumption. Included in the input are variable input attenuators to adjust for actual cable loss. An RF Power Detector is used to supervise the forward and reflected power at the TX antenna connector. The detectors are temperature-compensated and the output levels can be fine adjusted. Receiver Multi-coupler Divider, RMD414.
