Functional
Abbreviation
PAM: POWER AMPLIFIER MODULE
LNA: LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER
AGC: AUTO GAIN CONTROL
ALC: AUTO LIMIT CONTROL
Caution: Risk of explosion if battery on the controller board is replaced by an
incorrect type.
-.Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by manufacturer could void
your authority to operate this
equipment.
-.Warning: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output power of this device is far below
the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.
In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity
to the antenna should not be less than 20cm during normal operation. The gain of the
antenna for pcs Band must not exceed 12 dBi.

2.2.2 Downlink/ Uplink Path
GRS-1915D-SPR improves and strengthens signals in PCS 1900MHz band.
In downlink path, received from Donor Antenna signal is transferred through Duplexer (DPX)
and Down Conversion (DNC) module, and after choosing one of 5MHz, 10MHz or 15MHz in IF
path the signal is forwarded to Up Conversion (UPC) module. Then, improved signal is sent to
Service Antenna through Diplexer (DPX).
Uplink path is vice versa to Downlink path.

 1900MHz Band Structure
PCS 1900 repeater has 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz Paths in IF division, so any of these bandwidths
can be selected for providing service. 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz are only continious bands.
But there are some cases when this choice is not applicable:
Not continuous 3 Paths [5 MHz each], so total band is 15MHz
Ex) A1, D, E
Not continuous 3 Paths [5 MHz each], so total band is 10MHz
Ex) A1, D
Not continuous 3 Paths [5 MHz and 10M ], so total band is 15MHz
Ex) A1,A2,E

4.1.1 Checkpoints before turning on the Repeater
1) System Power Check: DC electrical power to the repeater should be 12V, input electricity
only after power verification.
2) Input RF Signal Range: Optimal input RSSI into the repeater is -57dBm ~ -37dBm
for 1900MHz CDMA. User should verify input condition of Donor ANT.
3) Isolation check between DONOR/SERVER ANT: Isolation condition of this equipment is
79dBc (Gain+7dB) for CDMA. User should check its condition before installation.

Sprint User Manual
3G Indoor Repeater
4.1.2 System Setup
1) This equipment is basically wall mountable.
2) Installer will have to connect the power supply (after verifying the input power) and RF cable
to the Repeater and then it will be ready to use.
3) For grounding, there is a grounding terminal in main power supply which will be plugged into
power
outlet. There is also a separate grounding terminal on the repeater which should be
connected to the on-site grounding terminal to ensure proper grounding.
4) Mounting of repeater should be done by at least two technicians to ensure a safe and proper
installation.

4.2 Troubleshooting
In case of abnormal operation, technician should diagnose abnormality via remote access or
directly connecting to repeater using Ethernet cable. If technician is required to conduct repairs
due to major alarm, repeater should first be powered off, and then technician should prepare
the proper measurement equipment before trying to fix the problem. In most cases of major
repairs, GST will simply replace the unit and conduct repairs at the appropriate facility.
4.2.1 Necessary Testing and Measuring Equipment
a. RF Power Meter: 10Watt Max, 50ohm
b. Signal Generator: 3GHz
c. Spectrum Analyzer: 3GHz
d. Multi-Meter
4.2.2 Notice
a. Troubleshooting should be performed by a trained technician.
b. Parts that seem to be not used should not be disassembled.
c. While troubleshooting, technician should use attenuator to check RF Signal output.
4.2.3 Simple Troubleshooting Method
a. Verify LED Status, both on external LED’s as well as internal module LED’s
- Normal operation: Green light On. Alarming: Red LED on
b. Technician should check external and internal connectors to ensure that all connections are
tightly secure. These connectors should be cleaned regularly.
c . If technician thinks there is a serious problem, call after sales team for over-thephone technical support. 1-866-9-GST-USA
