MM-015039-001 7 1.3 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS DO NOT TRANSMIT with this base station and antenna when persons are within the MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Radius of the antenna. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by the FCC. WARNING Failure to observe these limits may allow all persons within the MPE radius to experience RF radiation absorption, which exceeds the FCC maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit. It is the responsibility of the base station operator to ensure that the maximum permissible exposure limits are observed at all times during base station transmission. The base station licensee is to ensure that no bystanders are within the radius limits. 1.4 DETERMINING MPE RADIUS THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE RADIUS is unique for each site and is determined during site licensing time based on the complete installation environment (i.e. co-location, antenna type, transmit power level, etc.). Determination of the MPE distance is the responsibility of the installation licensee. Calculation of the MPE radius is required as part of the site licensing procedure with the FCC. 1.5 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION WARNING Your MASTR®V base station generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This base station is designed for and classified as “occupational use only” meaning it must be used only in the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This base station is not intended for use by the “general population” in an uncontrolled environment. It is the responsibility of the base station licensee to ensure that the maximum permissible exposure limits determined in the previous section are observed at all times during transmission. The base station licensee is to ensure that no bystanders come within the radius of the maximum permissible exposure limits. When licensed by the FCC, this base station complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are beyond the MPE radius of the antenna.

MM-015039-001 12 3 INTRODUCTION The MASTR V Base Station is a P25 Phase I capable transceiver. The station is fully upgradable to P25 Phase II. The MASTR V Base Station is a digital, IP based, LMR communications base station operating within a compact shelf design. It supports IP-based remote code uploads and configuration. IP-based programming may be accomplished using the Device Manager programming tool. A built-In Self Test (BIST) feature provides improved performance through remote diagnosis which minimizes down time. The MASTR V Base Station uses a 14-slot modular multi-channel T/R shelf assembly (refer to Figure 3-1) and a 2-slot High Power Amplifier/Power Supply (HPA/PS) shelf assembly. Modules may include BaseBand Processors, Traffic Controllers, TX, and RX modules. Blank panels for the main module slots (MA-555413) and for the E-Switch slots (MA-555417) are installed in unused slots. The TX module uses a factory programmable IQ modulator circuit capable of generating most any LMR modulation format into a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) TX exciter circuit. Additionally, the HPA may be equipped with a Linearizer module for improved amplitude and phase noise characteristics in S-C4FM or similar modulation modes. The RX module includes integrated front end and IF circuitry. The RX module also uses IQ demodulation circuitry. The IQ demodulator is factory programmable and can decode most any amplitude and phase modulation characteristic making it capable of receiving most any analog or digital LMR modulation format. The Multi-channel T/R shelf requires +12 VDC and +5 VDC. The HPA requires +28 VDC. The station may be equipped with a 120/240 VAC switching power supply. The T/R Shelf occupies 5-RU spaces. The HPA/PS shelf occupies 2-RU spaces (per TX channel). Figure 3-1: MASTR V Multi-Channel Base Station Equipped with One (1) RF Channel
MM-015039-001 13 4 MASTR V BASE STATION OVERVIEW 4.1 MULTI-CHANNEL BASE STATION SHELF ASSEMBLY The MASTR V multi-channel base station shelf assembly is a unified subrack design providing 14 identical vertical module slots. Also included are two (2) horizontal slots located under the 14 vertical slots, and used to connect the built-in main and redundant Ethernet Switch modules. A backplane assembly (refer to Figure 4-2) provides data and DC power connections to each vertical slot, and the two Ethernet Switch module slots. The multi-channel base station shelf, and each module, is equipped with a pull handle for improved handling of the equipment. When equipped for multiple channel VHF, 150-174 MHz operation, the 14-slots may be populated as shown in Figure 4-1 with the modules listed in Table 4-1. Other module combinations and slot assignments are possible depending on the specific LMR application and system requirements.

MM-015039-001 14 Multi-Channel Base Station Shelf The MASTR V Multi-channel Base Station shelf model EA-555002-001 (refer to Figure 4-2) is a 14-slot, 5-RU, shelf assembly. The shelf provides a modular environment supporting most any combination of MASTR V modules. Assembled to the rear of the shelf is a unified backplane assembly. The backplane interfaces all data, frequency reference, and DC power connections from the 14 module slots, to the two (2) horizontally positioned Ethernet switch modules. Two (2) connector assemblies are provided for each module slot, a 3-pin connector for DC power (J101 through J114), and a 95-pin connector for data/small signals (J1 through J14). The DC power connector pinout is provided in Table 4-2. Each E-Switch module slot uses a 120-pin signal connector (40 balanced signal pairs, each with an individual shield) for optimal signal performance. Additionally, two (2) guide pins are used in each module slot, one at each end of every connector row. The guide pins properly align the module with the backplane connectors as they slide together. 4.1.1.1 DC Power Input Connections The backplane’s DC power distribution may be configured to use one or both DC power input connections, J30 and J31. DC power input to slots 1 through 7 is primarily connected to J30. DC power input to slots 8 through 14 is primarily connected to J31. Removing the two fuses (F1 and F2) from the backplane allows independent DC operation of slots 1 through 7, and slots 8 through 14. This configuration is commonly used for one or more of the following reasons:  To minimize channel failure (multi-channel configurations) in the event one of the supporting power supplies fail, or a module failure unexpectedly loads the DC input.  To distribute current loading between power supply modules. Alternately, if the combined current drain of each module installed in the shelf does not exceed the power supply’s maximum current ratings, then the backplane may be configured for a common DC input. Installing 30 amp fuses into fuse locations F1 and F2 will parallel the +5 VDC and +12 VDC input connections. This configuration allows either J30 or J31 to act as a common DC power source for slots 1 through 14. It is important to understand that when F1 and F2 are installed, DC input connectors J30 and J31 are not isolated; therefore, connecting DC power sources to each connector simultaneously is not recommended in this configuration. Also, fuses F1 and F2 are not used as safety devices, but rather as high current (low resistance) jumpers.

MM-015039-001 17 Figure 4-4: Ethernet Switch Module 4.3.2 Transmitter Module (TX) The MASTR V TX module series EA-555008 provide a highly stable -1 dBm RF output to drive the High Power Amplifier module. The MASTR V TX module uses a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DSS) which optimizes the modulation characteristics of the TX module. DSS can digitally create a precision waveform or modulation scheme from a single on-board oscillator. This capability makes the MASTR V TX module one of the most versatile transmitter modules in the North American Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and European Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) marketplace. Figure 4-5: TX Module All electrical connections used during normal operation are located on the rear panel (refer to Figure 4-5). Control, data, small signal, and DC power connections mate with the unified backplane. A low level TX exciter output connector is located on the rear panel.

The RX modules are currently available in the 700/800 dual band, model EA-555007-011, with EA-555007-002 covering the 150-174MHz VHF band split. The receiver uses a Sigma-Delta analog to digital converter to process the incoming IF signal. The output of the analog-to-digital converter is a complex pair of I/Q baseband digital signals. The MASTR V RX module supports a wide range of modulation waveforms required for current and next generation public safety two-way radio communications. After IF filtering and down-conversion, received signals are digitized into I and Q information and sent to the Baseband Processor module via the backplane Ethernet. The Baseband Processor module provides the narrow channel filtering and demodulation. The narrow channel filters and digital demodulation is
MM-015039-001 19 performed by the system DSP, giving the MASTR V receiver the flexibility needed in current and future LMR communications systems.

When a MASTR V Base Station is powered up, the TX, RX, and HPA modules will perform a discovery period where they await a software request message from the BBP module assigned to manage that slot. When the message is received, the module will respond with a software response message that prompts the BBP to send the modules a personality message. The personality message will contain all personality data (default initialization parameters). The modules respond with an acknowledgement for the personality message, and then initialize themselves according to the personality data in the personality message. The BBP module sends the modules a message to go operational. Once operational, the discovery and initialization phase is complete. The BBP module periodically monitors the modules through heartbeat messages. 4.3.4.1 Base Station TX Interface and Control The BBP module performs a vital role during all modes of operation, especially during P25 Simulcast TX site’s transmit operations. During P25 simulcast, the BBP module receives the transmit packet timing and
MM-015039-001 21 re-synchronization data from the Control Point via the MUX. This information, along with the voice packets routed through the Ethernet Switch’s MLAN connection, is reunited to form the P25 transmitter messages. Final synchronization of the P25 transmitter packets, relative to the required system/site timing, is performed and the data is sent to the TX module(s). The BBP module manages only the control operations for the TX modules. Inbound receiver communications from mobile and portables is processed in the associated channel’s Traffic Controller and sent to the Control Point via the MLAN connection to the Cisco® switch. 4.3.4.2 Heartbeat Messaging Heartbeat messaging is used to monitor the condition of the TX, RX, and HPA modules. Once operational, the BBP module sends out heartbeat messages to each module. When a heartbeat message is received by a module, the receiving module then sends a heartbeat message back to the BBP module. The heartbeat monitor task keeps track of the time-stamps of the received heartbeat messages. A fault is registered if a heartbeat message is not received within a predetermined time-frame. The heartbeat monitor also keeps track of certain fault conditions. 4.3.4.3 Resynchronization In P25 Simulcast mode of operation, the MASTR V BBP module performs timing and resynchronization of data packets sent to the TX module. A predetermined time delay is applied to the packets relative to a precision world time clock signal provided by an external, centre highly stable, GPS based time clock. A GPS receiver is installed at each Simulcast TX Site and Control Point to provide the best possible synchronization between all TX sites.

MM-015039-001 23 Figure 4-7: BaseBand Processor Module 4.3.5 Traffic Controller Module (TC) The Traffic Controller (TC) module model EA-555004-001 performs interfacing for one (1) MASTR V P25 RF channel. The TC module provides the following services:  Data and control information for one (1) TX module.  Data and control information for one (1) RX module  Generates the P25-formatted TX messages for over-the-air transmission.  Provides VoIP interfacing to other P25 sites. The TC module manages data and control information for one (1) TX and one (1) RX channel module. Incoming data from dispatch points is processed into over-the-air P25-formatted TX messages. The TC module processes decoded radio information received from the BBP module, and handles all aspects of trunking (subscriber unit validation, assigned channels, queuing, etc.). During P25 Trunked Simulcast operation, the TC module interprets and directs inbound calls. It issues appropriate control commands to and from the TX and RX modules, including how to handle data between the base station and the Control Point. The TC module also handles VoIP interfacing to other P25 sites. Receiver packets are formatted into a VoIP-capable protocol and sent to other predefined P25 sites for retransmission.

This module contains a power module, amplifier drivers and power control circuitry required for power amplification. The Power Amplifier assembly is a continuous duty, solid state, wide-band RF power amplifier. Its main function is to amplify the 0 dBm signal from the TX module to the rated RF output at the antenna port. The RF
MM-015039-001 25 output of the Power Amplifier Assembly is typically 100 Watts for VHF (adjustable from 10 to 100 Watts). The MASTR V HPAs are also equipped with a RF linearizer circuit to improve RF performance. The RF linearizer samples the RF output of the HPA, and provides waveform correction to the RF input signal relative to its RF output characteristics. This improves waveform distortion.
