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 to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level
set by the FCC.
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
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. In addition, your Harris base station installation complies with the
following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and
evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect
to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the
Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable
limits for occupational use, do not operate the base station in a manner that would create
an MPE distance in excess of that allowable by the FCC.

3 INTRODUCTION
The MASTR V Base Station is a P25 Phase 2 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 software uploads and configuration. IP-based
programming may be accomplished using the VIDA® Device Manager programming tool. Network and
programming communications ports may be configured for VIDA secure shell operation to meet
Information Assurance (IA) requirements. 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 circuitry capable of generating most any LMR modulation format. Additionally, the
HPA is equipped with a Linearizer module for improved amplitude and phase noise characteristics.
The RX module includes integrated front end and IF circuitry. The RX module also uses IQ demodulation
circuitry. The IQ demodulator can decode most amplitude and phase modulation characteristic, making it
capable of receiving most 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 or -48 VDC power supply. The T/R shelf
occupies 5-RU spaces. The HPA/PS shelf occupies 2-RU spaces (per TX channel).

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 sub-rack design providing 14
identical vertical module slots. Also included are two (2) horizontal slots located under the 14 vertical slots,
used to connect the built-in main and redundant Ethernet Switch modules.
A backplane assembly 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.

4.4.2 Transmitter Module (TX)
The MASTR V TX module series EA-555008-xxx provides a highly stable 0 dBm RF output to drive the
High-Power Amplifier module. The MASTR V TX module uses a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) which
optimizes the modulation characteristics of the TX module. The DDS 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. Digitized I and Q information is sent from
the Baseband Processor module via the backplane Ethernet to the TX module.
MM-015039-001, Rev. M
24
All bands of MASTR V TX modules share common design features and meet stringent transmitter
specifications including the following:
• High output intercept point.
• 115.2 MHz 1st IF chosen for all bands of the MASTR V.
• Built-in hardware diagnostics (voltage supplies, PLL Lock).
• IQ data is sent from the Baseband Processor module for modulation.

4.4.3 Receiver Module (RX)
The MASTR V Receiver (RX) modules, model EA-555007-xxx, are dual-IF conversion receivers. 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
performed by the system DSP, giving the MASTR V receiver the flexibility needed in current and future
LMR communications systems.
All bands of MASTR V RX modules share common design features and meet stringent receiver
specifications including the following:
• High intercept point.
• Low noise figure.
• 110.2 MHz IF chosen for all bands of the MASTR V.
• Automatic Level Control.
• Low side LO injection for superior noise performance (700/800/900 MHz module).
• Built-in hardware diagnostics (voltage supplies, PLL Lock).
• Analog FM audio test jack (for factory use only).
• Raw IQ data is sent to the Baseband Processor module for demodulation.

4.4.4 Front End Preselector
Each VHF and UHF MASTR V receiver is equipped with an external RF Front End Preselector, model
EA-555018-xxx. The preselector (refer to Figure 4-7) for each receiver module is mounted to a frame
assembly located on the rear rack rails near each MASTR V shelf. The preselectors provide narrow
bandpass filtering to meet the channel spacing typically used in the VHF and UHF bands.
Figure 4-7: RF Front End Preselector
4.4.5 Baseband Processor Module (BBP)
The Baseband Processor (BBP) module model EA-555005-001 provides several functions within the
MASTR V P25 Base Station:
• Generates all RX, TX, and Control Processing for one or more RF channels.
• Provides a data interface between the Traffic Controller the TX and RX modules.
• Generates a heartbeat message used to monitor the health of the base station modules.
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. The BBP module also performs other vital roles, especially during a P25 Simulcast.
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.

4.4.7 High Power RF Power Amplifier Module (HPA)
The RF High Power Amplifier (HPA) assembly EA-555014-xxx (shown in Figure 4-10), amplifies the
exciter output to the rated station output power level. 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 -1 dBm signal from the TX module to the rated RF output at the antenna port.
The RF output of the Power Amplifier Assembly is capable of up to 100 Watts (adjustable from 10 to
100 Watts) as measured at the PA output port.
The MASTR V HPA series EA-555014-xxx is also equipped with an 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.
