The relay arms switch over at either one of the two alarms indicated on the top cover. CBDA Indications and Control (side windows) These are reached by opening the window on the sides of the CBDA AGC LED: This red led illuminates when the transmitted power is equal or higher than the composite power (factory preset at +24 dBm and DL). AGC ON/OFF switch: Turns on the automatic power control. Warning: The AGC switch must be always ON in order to limit the spurious signals. Step attenuator: The CBDA gain can be stepped down by the amount indicated on the step attenuator. Block Diagram Description The CBDA Downlink path receives TX signals from base station amplifies them and transmits them to the subscriber. The CBDA Uplink path receives RX signals from the subscriber amplifies them and transmits them to the base station. Two quad filter assemblies frequency separate the signals to the proper amplifying path and isolate the two signals. Each path has two amplifiers; a low noise amplifier (LNA) and a high power amplifier. The low noise amplifier has a 30 dB step attenuator, which is used to set the repeater gain. The power amplifiers in the CBDA have an AGC option switch. They also have a Power LED lamp that illuminates when the output power has reached the preset power limit.

If the CBDA gain were higher than the isolation between the antennas, oscillation would start and would saturate the amplifier. Isolation few dB higher than the CBDA gain cannot start oscillations but would cause gain ripple in the band. The step attenuator on the low noise amplifier can reduce the CBDA gain. The CBDA gain can be stepped down by the amount indicated on the step attenuator (0 to 30 dB in 2 dB steps).

Their amplifier has a directional coupler and a detector at the output of the high power amplifier monitoring the output power. When a high signal is received the automatic level control detects the amplitude and sends a feedback signal to a voltage variable attenuator, which attenuates the signal level so that the output power of the amplifier does not exceed the preset limit. The LED on the amplifier illuminates when the power out the amplifier is within the set limit (when the AGC is On and when the AGC is OFF). The switch on the RF amplifier enables the AGC function. If the AGC is disabled then the amplifier gives maximum gain and maximum power. AGC and Gain Controls The AGC and GAIN SETTING functions for the up link path are reached by opening the small slide door located on the CBDA left side, adjacent to the BASE antenna port. For the down link path the door is on the right side adjacent to the MOBILE antenna port RF Power LED: The LED illuminates when the output power exceeds the AGC Set. AGC ON / OFF Switch: When OFF the amplifier works with its highest gain (AGC Function OFF). When set to ON (AGC Function ON) the amplifier power output cannot exceed the set limit. Warning: The AGC switch must be always ON in order to limit the spurious signals. Gain setting: By using the rotary knob, the attenuation can be adjusted from 0 to 30 dB in 2 dB steps.

Each CBDA has a monitor circuit to monitor these elements and give alarm signal when there is a deviation from normal operation. The summarized alarm output of the monitor card is sent to a D-type connector on the front panel. The monitor circuit performs the following functions: • Monitors the current of uplink power amplifier. If the current is below or above the specified limits then an automatic alarm function is provided by a LED on the CBDA cover which illuminates and by dry contacts of a relay. • Monitors the downlink RF output power. If the output power is over 10 dB below the rated value then an alarm function is provided by a LED on the CBDA cover which illuminates and by dry contacts of a relay. • The relay arms are normally open, they close when power goes on (at no faults). Whenever any fault occurs or when the power is cut off from the CBDA the relay arms open. The relay arms are connected to pins 2,4 of a 9 pin D type male connector on the front panel of the CBDA for remote sensing of faults. Pin 2 and 3 of the D type connector provide complimentary relay alarm function; short at fault and open at no fault. • The alarm LEDs (red) are displayed on the CBDA cover. The green led is power on indication.

Use low loss cables to connect antennas to the CBDA. Install the CBDA close to the service area to improve output power and noise figure. Mount the CBDA with RF connecters pointing down. The RF connection is made via two type “N” female connectors. The RF connector labeled “Base” must be connected to the antenna; usually a Yagi; pointing to the base station. The RF connection labeled “Mobile” must be connected to the antenna pointing into the area to be covered by the CBDA. Note: For cooling purposes The CBDA must be installed with the RF connectors facing down. Base/ Donor Antenna Installation Typically this is a directional antenna such as Yagi or Dish antenna of 10 to 15 dB gain. This antenna is pointed to the base station to get maximum input power. This antenna should be in line of sight with the base site. Raise this antenna higher if no line of sight is achieved. The required Base signals should be the dominant signals; at least 6 dB higher power than other signals. Choose the antenna site to get the maximum isolation from the remote (mobile serving) antenna. Remote / Service Antenna Installation The remote antenna is an Omni antenna or a directional antenna according to the coverage requirements. For indoor applications covering a large building, the RF signals are split using power dividers and distributed to many antennas each covering a floor or a small area. Antenna Isolation For proper operation the isolation between these two antennas must be at least 12 dB higher than the CBDA gain. Lower isolation would lead to high in-band ripple. Oscillations will build up when the isolation is lower than CBDA gain. The isolation between the antennas is critical for high gain outdoor repeaters. To measure the isolation; inject a known signal into one antenna and measure the power at the other antenna. This should be done across the frequency range of both uplink and downlink bands.

Install all antennas and connect them to the CBDA inputs. 2. Open the access windows at the sides of the CBDA so that the variable attenuator is reached and the LED is visible. Turn the AGC On. This AGC limits the output power of the CBDA. The AGC on the Downlink path guarantees constant downlink power when and if the Donor power changes. Warning: The AGC switch must be always ON in order to limit the spurious signals. 3. Set downlink gain to minimum; uplink gain to minimum (by increasing the attenuation). 4. Increase the downlink channel gain (by decreasing the attenuation) till the LED turns from off to on. This is the best gain setting giving highest usable power. Higher gain setting will overdrive the AGC circuit. 5. The LED on the downlink power amplifier will illuminate if adequate donor (composite) power has reached the CBDA. If the donor power is low the LED will not lit and the CBDA usable power is not used efficiently. 6. The RF power alarm LED on the CBDA cover will lit if the downlink power is over 10 dB below the composite power. 7. Set the uplink gain to the same as the downlink gain. 8. Check that the uplink LED on the CBDA monitor does not lit permanently. This LED would lit permanently If the isolation between antennas is low (CBDA oscillations) or the CBDA is faulty. 9. If the uplink LED light permanently then: • Disconnect one of the cables from the CBDA connectors and connect a load at the connectors. • If the LED on this amplifier illuminates permanently then the CBDA is faulty (oscillating) and needs replacing. • If the LEDs stops illuminating then the isolation between the donor and remote antennas is low. Either improve the isolation (e.g. increase separation) or reduce CBDA gain. • To reduce gain, reconnect the antenna cables. Reduce the gain at both uplink and downlink path until this LED stops illuminating. Reduce the gain further by 10 dB. This is the maximum usable gain.

Normally the LED at the downlink power amplifier should be ON indicating good forward power transmission. The LED on the uplink power amplifier turns on only when a near by mobile is transmitting. Indication Downlink LED (on amplifier) does not light Cause Indicates low RF power at downlink path (below AGC setting) Action Check base antenna connection Check antenna alignment to base. Increase CBDA RF gain. Downlink LED (on amplifier) lights Indicates good power transmission in the downlink amplifier. (This is not a fault) Turn AGC on, or reduce gain so that LED just turns from off to on. Set the same gain for the uplink channel Make sure the amplifier is not overloaded Uplink LED (on amplifier) lights all the time Bad antenna isolation causing the repeater system to oscillate Improve the isolation between the antennas or reduce RF gain. To verify disconnect one RF port; LED should turn off Uplink LED (on amplifier) lights all the time Faulty system. Can be quad filter assembly or power amplifier fault System fault. To verify disconnect one RF port to verify. If LED remains on then system is faulty. Excessive intermodulation or spurious Amplifier oscillation caused by insufficient isolation Improve the isolation between the antennas or reduce RF gain. Excessive noise in downlink High input power causing amplifier overload Turn AGC on, or reduce gain so that LED just turns from off to on.
