1. OVERVIEW
COVERCELL 25K is a dual band repeater which can receive and transmit cellular and PCS
signals in the shadow area, which BTS signals cannot reach. This system has 79dB and 85dB
gain in the cellular band and PCS band respectively with 17dBm and 19dBm maximum power
each.
On the following condition, the band select function can be performed on each path in each
band.
Cellular: A1+A2 or B1+B2
PCS: 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz consecutive block select
Specific setting is possible using GUI
The basic structure of CoverCell 25K illustrates that each module is built-in on each path in a
body. The functions of each module are as follow.
4-Plex Cavity Filter: Duplexing input and output signals in the Cellular and PCS frequency
ranges and band combining.
Cellular Drive Module: including LNA, Local and PAM in the cellular band
PCS Drive Module: including LNA, Local, and PAM in the PCS band
Digital Filter: implementing the bandwidth setting and filtering using a digital technology
each band
PSU (Power Supply Unit): Converting AC 120V to respective voltages for each module
Control Board: Checking and controlling each module
IO Board: playing a role as a terminal between PSU and each module
2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
2.1 COVERCELL 25K REPEATER NETWORK SERVICE CONFIGURAT
ION
CoverCell 25K RF Repeater receives cellular 800MHz and PCS 1900MHz BTS signals
through a donor antenna installed outside of a building. The signals are amplified, filtered, and
transmitted through a coverage antenna inside of a building. In the reverse, it receives terminal
signals through a coverage antenna and transmits the signals to cellular and PCS BTSs through
a donor antenna.
CoverCell 25K RF Repeater has following functions;
Type of Modulation : CDMA (Cellular, PCS)
Frequency/ Band Select using cavity filters
Bandwidth Setting using PLL, Digital Filter
Output Control using AGC/ALC
Gain Control using attenuators
Figure 1 illustrates CoverCell 25K network configuration in a site. As seen in the Figure 1, the
donor antenna is installed towards PCS and cellular BTSs and the coverage antenna is located
in a place to cover approximately 25,000 square feet.

2.2.2 Downlink Block Diagram
CoverCell 25K is a dual band repeater that can handle cellular and PCS signals. Basically RF
modules are separated from each path and band. One module can handle all the functions
except 4 plexer and digital filter. Also one integrated chip which includes local and mixer
consists a block and input detect process is performed to prevent external signals from affecting
other signals after signals are through a digital filter.

2.2.3 Uplink Block Diagram
The uplink path of CoverCell 25K does not use the input detect function. The gain of a donor
antenna is high enough. Then, the last output power level is not necessarily high. Consequently,
PAM is not necessary. The ALC function is monitoring the last output power and maintaining the
output power to increase stability of the system.
