:BOOSTER OVERVIEW
The Booster provides an exceptional performances to extend the coverage area of radio
communications in buildings and RF shielded environments.
The unit is based on a duplexed path configuration, having sharp out of band attenuation for
improved isolation between the receiving and transmitting paths.
:BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Downlink path receives the RF signals from base station, amplifies them and transmits them for
further distribution to the subscriber.
The Uplink path receives the RF signals from the subscribers, amplifies them and transmits them to
the base station.
Two duplexers separate the signals to the proper amplifying path and isolate between the the two
paths.
For each path there is a 40dB gain and a 30 dB step attenuator to set the Booster gain.
The power amplifiers in the Booster have an AGC option switch. When switched on, the AGC circuit
limits the amplifier output power. The AGC circuit senses the output power and introduces more
attenuation, when the output power exceeds the preset level. This way the gain of the amplifier is
reduced, its output power is limited and the intermodulations products are kept below the desired
level.
The AGC amplifier has a Power LED lamp that illuminates when the output power has reached the
preset power limit.

BOOSTER OPERATION
The RF connection is made via two type “N” female connectors. The RF connector labeled “Base” is
connected to the base station. The RF connection labeled “Mobile” is connected to the antenna of
area to be covered by the Booster; such as inside the building.

AGC FUNCTION
The Booster has AGC function on both paths that serve to prevent the saturation of the power
amplifier. Their amplifier has a directional coupler and a detector at the output of the high power
amplifier to monitor 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 output of the amplifier is within the set limit (either when the
AGC is On or OFF).
The switch on the RF amplifier enables the AGC function. If the AGC is disabled then the amplifier
gives maximum gain.
AGC AND GAIN CONTROLS
The AGC ON/OFF and GAIN SETTING functions for the up link path are reached by opening the
small slide door located on the Booster 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 in 2 dB
steps.

RF EXPOSURE WARNING
In order to satisfy the FCC RF exposure requirements, you must ensure that the installation complies
with the following:
One antenna is connected via cable that has typical 1~10 dB attenuation (depends on the length of
the cable) to the BDA base port. This antenna is installed outdoor and has very sharp beam (Yagi
type or similar) pointed to the donor (BTS). This type of antenna has about 10 dBi gain. Typical
specifications: gain: 8 dBd (=10.1 dBi), VSWR: better than 1.5:1 , Impedance: 50 ohm. The outdoor
antenna must be installed to provide a minimum separation distance of 0.5 m (50 cm) from persons
within the area.
The second antenna is connected via cable that has typical 1~10 dB attenuation (depends on the
length of the cable) to the BDA MOBILE port. This type of antenna is omnidirecttional (isotropic), or
wide beam, with 0 to 2 dBi typical gain and is installed and distributes indoor (in buildings, tunnels,
basements, park lots, shopping centers etc.). Typical specifications: gain: 2 dBi, VSWR: better than
2:1 , Impedance: 50 ohm. For direct connection to the BDA this antenna must be installed to provide
a minimum separation distance of 0.5 m (50 cm) from persons within the area.
