General Safety Information
Human Exposure Compliance
This equipment is designed to generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) energy
by means of an external antenna. When terminated into a non-radiating RF load,
the base station equipment is certified to comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regulations pertaining to human exposure to RF radiation in
accordance with the FCC Rules Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code
of federal regulations and procedures established in TIA/EIA TSB92, Report on
EME Evaluation for RF Cabinet Emissions Under FCC MPE Guidelines,
Compliance to FCC regulations of the final installation should be assessed and
take into account site specific characteristics such as type and location of
antennas, as well as site accessibility of occupational personnel (controlled
environment) and the general public (uncontrolled environment). This equipment
should only be installed and maintained by trained technicians. Licensees of the
FCC using this equipment are responsible for insuring that its installation and
operation comply with FCC regulations Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title
47 code of federal regulations.
Whether a given installation meets FCC limits for human exposure to radio
frequency radiation may depend not only on this equipment but also on whether
the “environments” being assessed are being affected by radio frequency fields
from other equipment, the effects of which may add to the level of exposure.
Accordingly, the overall exposure may be affected by radio frequency generating
facilities that exist at the time of the licensee’s equipment is being installed or
even by equipment installed later. Therefore, the effects of any such facilities must
be considered in site selection and in determining whether a particular
installation meets the FCC requirements.
FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in making determinations if a
given facility is compliant with the human exposure to RF radiation limits.
Determining the compliance of transmitter sites of various complexities may be
accomplished by means of computational methods. For more complex sites direct
measurement of power density may be more expedient. Additional information
on the topic of electromagnetic exposure is contained in the Motorola Standards and
Guideline for Communications Sites publication. Persons responsible for installation
of this equipment are urged to consult the listed reference material to assist in
determining whether a given installation complies with the applicable limits.
In general the following guidelines should be observed when working in or
around radio transmitter sites:
- All personnel should have electromagnetic energy awareness training.
- All personnel entering the site must be authorized.
- Obey all posted signs
- Assume all antennas are active
- Before working on antennas, notify owners and disable appropriate
transmitters.
- Maintain minimum 3 feet clearance from all antennas.
- Do not stop in front of antennas.
- Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas.
- Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation.
- Do not operate base station antennas in equipment rooms

Base Radio EBTS System Manual - Vol 2
QUAD Channel 900 MHz Base Radio Overview
QUAD Channel 900 MHz Base Radio Theory of Operation
The QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR operates with other site controllers and
equipment and must be properly terminated. The following description assumes
such a configuration. Figure 6 show an overall block diagram of the QUAD
Channel 900 MHz BR.
Power is applied to the DC Power inputs located on the QUAD Channel 900 MHz
BR backplane. The DC Power input is connected if -48 VDC or batteries are used
in the site.
Power is applied to the BR by setting the Power Supply power switch to the ON
position. Upon power-up, the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR performs
self-diagnostic tests to ensure the integrity of the unit. These tests, which include
memory and Ethernet verification routines, primarily examine the EX / CNTL.
After completing self-diagnostic tests, the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR reports
alarm conditions on any of its modules to the site controller via Ethernet. Alarm
conditions may also be verified locally. Local verification involves using the
service computer and the STATUS port located on the front of the QUAD Channel
900 MHz EX / CNTL.
The software resident in FLASH on the EX / CNTL registers the BR with the site
controller via Ethernet. After BR registration on initial power-up, the BR software
downloads via resident FLASH or Ethernet and executes from RAM. The
download includes operating parameters for the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR.
These parameters allow the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR to perform call
processing functions.
After software downloads to the BR via Ethernet, FLASH memory stores the
software object. Upon future power-ups, the software object in FLASH loads into
RAM for execution.
The BR operates in a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) mode. This mode,
combined with voice compression techniques, increases channel capacity by a
ratio of as much as six to one. TDMA divides both the receive and transmit
signals of the BR into six individual time slots. Each receive slot has a
corresponding transmit slot. This pair of slots comprises a logical RF channel.
68P80801H45-1 1/20/2002 15
EBTS System Manual - Vol 2 Base Radio
QUAD Channel 900 MHz Base Radio Overview
The BR uses diversity reception for increased coverage area and improved
quality. The Receiver modules within the QUAD Channel 900 MHz BR contain
three receiver paths. Two-branch diversity sites use two Receiver paths, and
three-branch diversity sites use three Receiver paths.
All Receiver paths within a given Receiver module are programmed to the same
receive frequency. Signals from each receiver arrive at the EX / CNTL module.
This module performs a diversity combining algorithm on the signals. The
resultant signal undergoes an error-correction process. Then, via Ethernet, the site
controller acquires the signal, along with control information about signal
destination.
Two separate FRUs comprise the transmit section of the QUAD Channel 900 MHz
BR. These are the Exciter portion of the EX / CNTL and the Power Amplifier (PA).
The Exciter processes commands from the CNTL, assuring transmission in the
proper modulation format. Then the low-level signal enters the PA. The PA
amplifies this signal to the desired output power level. The PA is a continuously
keyed linear amplifier. A power control routine monitors the output power of the
BR. The routine adjusts the power as necessary to maintain the proper output
level.

900 MHz QUAD Channel Base Radio Controller
Serial Communication Buses
The microprocessor provides a general-purpose SMC serial management
controller bus.
The SMC serial communications bus is an asynchronous RS-232 interface with no
hardware handshake capability. The BRC front panel includes a nine-pin, D-type
connector. This connector provides a port where service personnel may connect a
service computer. Service personnel can perform programming and maintenance
tasks via Man-Machine Interface (MMI) commands. The interface between the
SMC port and the front- panel STATUS connector is via EIA-232 Bus Receivers
and Drivers.
Host Processor
The microprocessor incorporates 4k bytes of instruction cache and 4k bytes of
data cache that significantly enhance processor performance.
The microprocessor has a 32-line address bus. The processor uses this bus to
access non-volatile memory and SDRAM memory. Via memory mapping, the
processor also uses this bus to control other BRC circuitry.
The microprocessor uses its Chip Select capability to decode addresses and assert
an output signal. The eight chip-select signals select non-volatile memory,
SDRAM memory, input ports, output ports, and DSPs.
The Host processor...
❐Provides serial communications between the Host Microprocessor and other
Base Radio modules.
❐Provides condition signals necessary to access SDRAM.
❐Accepts interrupt signals from BRC circuits (such as DSPs).
❐Organizes the interrupts, based on hardware-defined priority ranking.
❐The Host supports several internal interrupts from its Communications
Processor Module. These interrupts allow efficient use of peripheral
interfaces.
❐The Host supports 10 Mbps Ethernet/IEEE 802.3.
❐Provides a 32-line data bus transfers data to and from BRC SDRAM and
other BRC circuitry. Buffers on this data bus allow transfers to and from
non-volatile memory, general input and output ports and DSPs.
Non-Volatile Memory
Base Radio software resides in 2M x 32 bits of FLASH memory. The Host
Microprocessor addresses the FLASH memory with 20 of the host address bus’ 32
lines. The host accesses FLASH data over the 32-line host data bus. A
host-operated chip-select line provides control signals for these transactions.
The FLASH contains the operating system and application code. The system
stores application code in FLASH for fast recovery from reset conditions.
Application code transfers from network or site controllers may occur in a
68P80801H45-1 1/20/2002 21
EBTS System Manual - Vol 2 Base Radio Controllers
900 MHz QUAD Channel Base Radio Controller
background mode. Background mode transfers allow the station to remain
operational during new code upgrades.
The data that determines the station personality resides in a 32K x eight bit
codeplug EEPROM. The microprocessor addresses the EEPROM with 15 of the
host address bus’ 32 lines. The host accesses EEPROM data with eight of the data
bus’ 32 lines. A host-operated chip-select line provides control signals for these
transactions.
During the manufacturing process, the factory programs the codeplug’s default
data. The BRC must download field programming data from network and site
controllers. This data includes operating frequencies and output power level. The
station permits adjustment of many station parameters, but the station does not
store these adjustments. Refer to the Software Commands chapter for additional
information.
Volatile Memory
Each BRC contains 8MB x 32 bits of SDRAM. The BRC downloads station
software code into SDRAM for station use. SDRAM also provides short-term
storage for data generated and required during normal operation. SDRAM is
volatile memory. A loss of power or system reset destroys SDRAM data.
The system performs read and write operations over the Host Address and Data
buses. These operations involve column and row select lines under control of the
Host processor’s DRAM controller. The Host address bus and column row signals
sequentially refresh SDRAM memory locations.
Ethernet Interface
The Host processor’s Communications Processor Module (CPM) provides the
Local Area Network (LAN) Controller for the Ethernet Interface. The LAN
function implements the CSMA/CD access method, which supports the IEEE
802.3 10Base2 standard.
The LAN coprocessor supports all IEEE 802.3 Medium Access Control, including
the following:
❐framing
❐preamble generation
❐stripping
❐source address generation
❐destination address checking
The PCM LAN receives commands from the CPU.
The Ethernet Serial Interface works directly with the CPM LAN to perform the
following major functions:
❐10 MHz transmit clock generation (obtained by dividing the 20 MHz signal
provided by on-board crystal)
❐Manchester encoding/decoding of frames
22 68P80801H45-1 1/20/2002
Base Radio Controllers EBTS System Manual - Vol 2
900 MHz QUAD Channel Base Radio Controller
❐electrical interface to the Ethernet transceiver
An isolation transformer provides high-voltage protection. The transformer also
isolates the Ethernet Serial Interface (ESI) and the transceiver. The pulse
transformer has the following characteristics:
❐Minimum inductance of 75 µH
❐2000 V isolation between primary and secondary windings
❐1:1 Pulse Transformer
The Coaxial Transceiver Interface (CTI) is a coaxial cable line driver and receiver
for the Ethernet. CTI provides a 10Base2 connection via a coaxial connector on the
board. This device minimizes the number of external components necessary for
Ethernet operations.
A DC/DC converter provides a constant voltage of -9 Vdc for the CTI from a
3.3 Vdc source.
The CTI performs the following functions:
❐Receives and transmits data to the Ethernet coaxial connection
❐Reports any collision that it detects on the coaxial connection
❐Disables the transmitter when packets are longer than the legal length
(Jabber Timer)
Digital Signal Processors
The BRC includes two Receive Digital Signal Processors (RXDSPs) and a Transmit
Digital Signal Processor (TXDSP). These DSPs and related circuitry process
compressed station transmit and receive audio or data. The related circuitry
includes the TDMA Infrastructure Support IC (TISIC) and the TISIC Interface
Circuitry. The DSPs only accept input and output signals in digitized form.
The RXDSP inputs are digitized receiver signals. The TXDSP outputs are digitized
voice audio and data (modulation signals). These signals pass from the DSP to the
Exciter portion of the EXBRC. DSPs communicate with the Microprocessor via an
eight-bit, host data bus on the host processor side. For all DSPs, interrupts drive
communication with the host.
The RXDSPs operate from an external 16.8 MHz clock, provided by the local
station reference. The RXDSP internal operating clock signal is 150MHz,
produced by an internal Phase-Locked Loop (PLL).
The RXDSPs accept digitized signals from the receivers through Enhanced
Synchronous Serial Interface (ESSI) ports. Each of two ESSI ports on a RXDSP
supports a single carrier (single receiver) digital data input. The DSP circuitry
includes two RXDSPs. These allow processing of up to four carriers (four
receivers).
The RXDSP accesses its DSP program and signal-processing algorithms in 128k
words of internal memory. The RXDSPs communicate with the host bus over an
8-bit interface.
Each RXDSP provides serial communications to its respective receiver module for
receiver control via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The SPI is a
68P80801H45-1 1/20/2002 23
EBTS System Manual - Vol 2 Base Radio Controllers
900 MHz QUAD Channel Base Radio Controller
parallel-to-serial conversion circuit, connected to the RXDSP data bus. Each
RXDSP communicates to two receive modules through this interface.
Additionally, a serial control path connects the two RXDSPs and the TXDSP. The
Synchronous Communications Interface (SCI) port facilitates this serial control
path.
For initialization and control purposes, one RXDSP connects to the TISIC device.
The TXDSP operates at an external clock speed of 16.8 MHz, provided by the
EXBRC local station reference. The TXDSP internal operating clock is 150MHz,
produced by an internal Phase Lock Loop (PLL).
The TXDSP sends up to four carriers of digitized signal to the EX11 exciter. The
exciter converts the digital signal to analog. Also at the exciter, a highly stable
clock reclocks the digital data. Reclocking enhances transmit signal integrity. Two
framed and synchronized data streams result. One data stream is I-data, and the
other is the Q-data stream.
The TXDSP contains its own, internal address and data memory. The TXDSP can
store 128k words of DSP program and data memory. An eight-bit interface
handles TXDSP-to-host bus communications.
TISIC
The TISIC controls internal DSP operations. This circuit provides the following
functions:
❐For initialization and control, interfaces with one RXDSP via the DSP
address and data buses.
❐Accepts a 16.8 MHz signal from Station Reference Circuitry.
❐Accepts a 5 MHz signal, modulated with one pulse per second (1 PPS) from
the site reference.
❐Demodulates the 1 PPS
❐Outputs a 1 PPS signal and a windowed version of this signal for network
timing alignment.
❐Outputs a 2.4 MHz reference signal used by the Exciter.
❐Generates 15 ms and 7.5 ms ticks. (These ticks synchronize to the 1 PPS time
mark. The system decodes the time mark from the site reference. Then the
system routes the reference to the TXDSP and RXDSPs.)
Station Reference Circuitry
The Station Reference Circuitry is a phase-locked loop (PLL). This PLL consists of
a high-stability, Voltage-Controlled, Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) and a PLL IC. GPS
output from the iSC connects to the 5 MHz/1 PPS BNC connector on the BR
backplane. Wiring at this connector routes signals to EXBRC station reference
circuitry.
The PLL compares the 5 MHz reference frequency to the 16.8 MHz VCXO output.
Then the PLL generates a DC correction voltage. The PLL applies this correction
voltage to the VCO through an analog gate. The analog gate closes when three
24 68P80801H45-1 1/20/2002
Base Radio Controllers EBTS System Manual - Vol 2
900 MHz QUAD Channel Base Radio Controller
conditions coexist: (1) The 5 MHz tests stable. (2) The PLL IC is programmed. (3)
Two PLL oscillator and reference signal output alignments occur.
When the gate enables, the control voltage from the PLL can adjust the
high-stability VCXO frequency. The adjustment can achieve a stability nearly
equivalent to that of the external, 5 MHz frequency reference.
The correction voltage from the PLL continuously adjusts the VXCO frequency.
The VXCO outputs a 16.8 MHz clock signal. The circuit applies this clock signal to
the receiver, 48 MHz reference and TISIC.
The receivers use the 16.8MHz as the clock input and synthesizer reference.
The 48 MHz EXBRC synthesizer uses the 16.8 MHz as its synthesizer reference.
The 48 MHz synthesizer output is the clock input for the TXDSP I and Q data
reclock circuitry.
The TISIC divides the 16.8 MHz signal by seven, and outputs a 2.4 MHz signal.
This output signal then becomes the 2.4 MHz reference for the Exciter.
Input Ports
One general-purpose input register provides for BRC and station circuit input
signals. The register has 16 input ports. The Host Data Bus conveys input register
data to the Host Microprocessor. Typical inputs include 16.8 and 48 MHz Station
Reference Circuitry status outputs and reset status outputs.
Output Ports
Two general-purpose output registers distribute control signals from the Host
Microprocessor to the BRC and station circuitry. One register has 32 output ports
and the other register has 8 output ports. Control signal distribution occurs over
the backplane. The Host Data Bus drives the output ports’ latched outputs.
Typical control signals include front-panel LED signals and SPI peripheral enable
and address lines.
Remote Station Shutdown
The BRC contains power supply shutdown circuitry. This circuitry can send a
shutdown pulse to the Base Radio Power Supply. BRC software generates the
shutdown control pulse.
After receiving a shutdown pulse, the power supply turns off BR power. Shut
down power sources include 3.3, 28.6 and 14.2 Vdc sources throughout the BR.
Due to charges retained by BR storage elements, power supply voltages may not
reach zero. The shutdown only assures that the host processor enters a
power-on-reset state.
A remote site uses the shutdown function to perform a hard reset of all BR
modules.

request of the BRC, A/DC output signals enter the BRC via SPI lines. The
Controller periodically monitors all signals.
Some of the monitored signals include amplifier bias and synthesizer signals.
Low Noise Offset Direct Conversion Transmit (LNODCT) IC Circuitry
The Low Noise IC is a main interface between the Exciter and BRC. The BRC’s
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) sends digitized signals (baseband data) to the
Exciter over the DSP data bus.
The differential data clock signal serves as a 2.4 MHz reference signal to the Low
Noise IC’s internal synthesizer. The Low Noise IC compares the reference signal
with the outputs of Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs). The Low Noise IC
might sense that a VCO’s output is out of phase or off-frequency. If so, then the
Low Noise IC sends correction pulses to the VCO. The pulses adjust VCO output,
thereby matching phase and frequency with the reference.
The Low Noise IC up-converts baseband data from the BRC to the transmit
frequency. The Low Noise IC also down-converts the Transmit signal from the
Power Amplifier to baseband data for cartesian feedback linearization.
The BRC uses the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus to communicate with the
Low Noise IC. The SPI bus serves as a general purpose, bi-directional, serial link
between the BRC and other Base Radio modules, including the Exciter. The SPI
carries control and operational data signals to and from Exciter circuits.
Synthesizer Circuitry
The synthesizer circuit consists of the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) IC and associated
circuitry. This circuit’s controls the 1025 MHz VCO signal. An internal phase
detector generates a logic pulse. This pulse is proportional to the phase or
frequency difference between the reference frequency and loop pulse signal.
The charge pump circuit generates a correction signal. The correction signal
moves up or down in response to phase detector output pulses. The correction
signal passes through the low-pass loop filter. The signal then enters the 1025
MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) circuit.
1025 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
For proper operation, the VCO requires a very low-noise, DC supply voltage. An
ultra low-pass filter prepares the necessary low-noise voltage and drives the
oscillator.
A portion of the oscillator output signal enters the synthesizer circuitry. The
circuitry uses this feedback signal to generate correction pulses.
The 1025MHz VCO output mixes with the 90.3 MHz VCO output. The result is a
Local Oscillator [LO) signal for the Low Noise IC. The LNODCT uses this LO
signal to up-convert the programmed transmit frequency. The Low Noise IC also
uses the LO signal to down-convert the PA feedback signal.

Base Radio Exciter EBTS System Manual - Vol 2
QUAD Channel 900 MHz Exciter
90.3 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
The synthesizer within the Low Noise IC sets the 90.3 MHz signal. The 90.3 MHz
VCO provides a LO signal to the LNODCT IC. The Low Noise IC uses this signal
in up-converting and down-converting the feedback signal.
Regulator Circuitry
The voltage regulators generate three regulated voltages: +3 Vdc, +5 Vdc and
+11.7 Vdc. The regulators obtain input voltages from the +3.3 Vdc and +14.2 Vdc
backplane voltages. The regulated voltages power various ICs and RF devices in
the Exciter.
Linear RF Amplifier Stages
The linear RF amplifiers boost the RF signal from the Low Noise IC. The RF
Amplifier generates an appropriate signal level to drive the PA.

The power outputs discussed on this section for the
800 MHz QUAD and 900 MHz QUAD Power
Amplifiers are referenced to the single carrier mode,
operating at 52 W average power output from the
Power Amplifier’s output connector.
The Power Amplifier (PA), with the Exciter, provides the transmitter functions for
the Base Radio. The PA accepts the low-level modulated RF signal from the
Exciter. The PA then amplifies the signal for transmission and distributes the
signal through the RF output connector.
The 800 MHz Base Radio can be equipped with either 40 Watt PA, TLF2020
(version CLF1771) or 70 Watt PA, TLN3335 (version CLF1772). The 40W PA
module consists of five hybrid modules, four pc boards, and a module heatsink/
housing assembly. The 70W PA module consists of eight hybrid modules, four pc
boards, and a module heatsink/housing assembly.
The 900 MHz Base Radio is equipped with 60 Watt PA, CLN1355 (kit no.
CLF1300A). The PA module consists of four hybrid modules, two pc boards, and
a module heatsink/housing assembly.
The 1500 MHz Base Radio is equipped with 40 Watt PA, TLN3426 (version
TTG1000). The PA module consists of four hybrid modules, two pc boards, and
the module heatsink/housing assembly.
The PA connects to the chassis backplane through a 96-pin DIN connector and
three blindmate RF connectors. Two Torx screws located on the front of the PA
hold it in the chassis.

The RF Splitter output signals are applied directly into the LFMs for final
amplification. Each LFM contains a coupler that splits the LFM input signal and
feeds the parallel Class AB amplifiers that amplify the RF signals.
In the 40W PA, the amplified signals are then combined on the LFM and sent
directly to the RF Interconnect Board. In the 70W PA, the amplified signals are
then combined on the LFM and sent directly to the Combiner Board.
See Table 2 for the approximate total summed output powers of the various
LFMs, before output losses.
900 MHz PA
The RF signals from the outputs of the RF Splitter are applied directly into the
Linear Final Module (LFM) for final amplification. Each LFM contains a
branchline coupler that splits the LFM’s input signal and feeds the dual Class AB
push-pull amplifiers that amplify the RF signals. The amplified signals are then
combined on the LFM and sent directly to the RF Combiner circuit for final
distribution. See Table 2 for the approximate total summed output power of the
900 MHz LFMs, before output losses.
1500 MHz PA
The two RF signals from the outputs of the RF Splitter are input directly into the
Linear Final Module (LFM) for final amplification. Each LFM contains a
branchline coupler that splits the LFM’s input signal and feeds the dual Class AB
push-pull amplifiers that amplify the RF signals. The amplified signals are then
combined on the LFM , via a branchline coupler, and sent directly to the RF
Combiner circuit for final distribution. See Table 2 for the approximate total
summed output power of the 1500 MHz LFMs, before output losses.
The current drains of the 1500 MHz LFMs are monitored by the A/D converter on
the DC/Metering board. A voltage signal representative of the LFM current drain
is sent to the BRC. A Power Amplifier alarm is generated if the signal is outside of
either the upper or lower limits.

PA Theory of Operation
RF Combiner/Peripheral Module (40- 800 MHz, 70W- 800 MHz PAs)
This module consists of two portions: an RF combiner and a peripheral module.
The RF Combiner portion of the module combines the three RF signals from the
RF Interconnect Board (40W- 800 MHz PA) or the Combiner Board (70W- 800
MHz PA) into a single signal using a Wilkinson coupler arrangement.
Following the combiner circuit, the single combined RF signal is then passed
through a directional coupler which derives a signal sample of the LFM RF power
output. Via the coupler, a sample of the RF output signal is fed to the Exciter, via
the DC/Metering Board, as a feedback signal. Following the coupler, the power
output signal is passed through a single stage circulator, which protects the PA in
the event of high reflected power.
The peripheral portion of the module provides a power monitor circuit that
monitors the forward and reflected power of the output signal. This circuit
furnishes the A/D converter on the DC/Metering Board with input signals
representative of the forward and reflected power levels.
For forward power, a signal representative of the measured value is sent to the
BRC via the SPI bus. The BRC determines if this level is within tolerance of the
programmed forward power level. If the level is not within parameters, the BRC
will issue a warning to the site controller which, in turn, will shut down the
Exciter if required.
Reflected power is monitored in the same manner. The BRC uses the reflected
power to calculate the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). If the VSWR is
determined to be excessive, the forward power is rolled back. If it is extremely
excessive, the BRC issues a shut-down command to the Exciter.
A thermistor is located on the RF Combiner/Peripheral module to monitor the
operating temperature of the PA. The thermistor signal indicating excessive
temperature is applied to the A/D converter and then sent to the BRC. The BRC
rolls back forward power if the monitored temperature is excessive.
900 MHz PA
This module consists of two parts: an RF combiner and a peripheral module. The
RF combiner combines the two RF signals from each LDM into a single signal,
using a branchline coupler arrangement. Then, the RF signal passes through a
directional coupler which derives a signal sample of the LFMs RF power output.
Via the coupler, a sample of the RF output signal is fed to the Exciter, via the DC/
Metering Board, as a feedback signal, thereby allowing the Exciter to accordingly
adjust signal drive. Following the coupler, the power output signal is passed
through a circulator, which protects the PA in the event of high reflected power.
A power monitor circuit monitors the forward and reflected power of the output
signal. This circuit furnishes the A/D converter on the DC/Metering Board with
input signals representative of the forward and reflected power levels.
For forward power, a signal representative of the measured value is sent to the
BRC via the SPI bus. The BRC determines if this level is within tolerance of the
programmed forward power level. If the level is not within parameters, the BRC
will issue a warning to the site controller which, in turn, will shut down the
Exciter if required.

Reflected power is monitored in the same manner. The BRC uses the reflected
power to calculate the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). If the VSWR is
determined to be excessive, the forward power is rolled back. If it is extremely
excessive, the BRC issues a shut-down command to the Exciter.
A thermistor is located on the RF Combiner/Peripheral module to monitor the
operating temperature of the PA. A voltage representative of the monitored
temperature is sent from the A/D converter to the BRC. The BRC rolls back
forward power if the monitored temperature is excessive.
1500 MHz
Both LFM outputs are input into this module where they are combined, with a
branchline coupler, for a single output signal. The RF signal is first coupled to the
Exciter module, via the DC/Metering Board, so that it can be monitored. The RF
output signal is then passed through a circulator that acts as a protection device
for the PA in the event of reflected power.
A power monitor circuit monitors the forward and reflected power of the output
signal. This circuit provides the A/D converter on the DC/Metering board with
an input signal representative of the forward or reflected power levels.
For forward power, a signal representative of the measured value is sent to the
BRC module via the SPI bus. The BRC determines if this level is within tolerance
of the programmed forward power level. The programmed forward power is set
through the use of MMI commands. If the level is not within certain parameters,
the BRC will issue a warning to the site controller and may shut-down the Exciter
module.
Reflected power is monitored in the same manner except that the BRC determines
an acceptable reflected power level. The BRC calculates the reflected power
through an algorithm stored in memory. If the reflected power is determined to be
excessive, the forward power is rolled back. If the reflected power level is
extremely excessive, the BRC will issues a shut-down command to the Exciter
module.
A thermistor is located on the RF Combiner/Peripheral module to monitor the
operating temperature of the Power Amplifier. A voltage representative of the
monitored temperature is sent from the A/D converter to the BRC. The BRC
issues a cut-back command to the Exciter module if the monitored temperature is
greater than 121˚ F (85˚ C).
RF Combiner/Peripheral Module (800 MHz QUAD and 900 MHz QUAD)
This module consists of two parts: an RF combiner and a Peripheral module. The
RF combiner combines three RF signals from the Combiner Board into a single
signal using a Wilkinson coupler arrangement. Following the combiner circuit,
the single combined RF signal is then passed through a directional coupler, which
derives a signal sample of the LFM RF power output. Via the coupler, a sample of
the RF output signal is fed to the Exciter, via the DC/Metering Board, as a

The PA contains a fan assembly to maintain normal operating temperature
through the use of a cool air intake. The fan assembly consists of three individual
fans in which airflow is directed across the PA heatsink.
The current draw of the fans is monitored by the DC/Metering Board. A voltage
representative of the current draw is monitored by the BRC. The BRC flags the
iSC if an alarm is triggered. The PA LED on the front panel of the BRC also lights,
however the PA does not shut down due to a fan failure alone.

QUAD Channel DC Power Supply Overview
The QUAD Channel DC Power Supply provides DC operating voltages to QUAD
Channel Base Radio FRUs. The power supply accepts input voltage sources from
41VDC to 60VDC. Input sources may be either positively or negatively grounded.
On initial startup, the supply requires a nominal 43 VDC. If the voltage drops
below 41 VDC, the QUAD Channel DC Power Supply enters quiescent mode. In
quiescent mode, the power supply emits no power.
The QUAD Channel DC Power Supply is designed for sites with an available DC
voltage source. Output voltages from the DC Power Supply are 28.6 VDC,
14.2 VDC and 3.3 VDC, with reference to output ground. The supply is rated for
575 Watts of continuous output, with up to 113˚ F (45˚ C) inlet air. At 140˚ F (60˚
C), the 28.6 VDC output reduces to 80% of maximum.
The QUAD Channel DC Power Supply consists of the Power Supply and front
panel hardware. The QUAD Channel DC Power Supply connects to the chassis
backplane through an edgecard connector. Two Torx screws on the front panel
secure the QUAD Channel DC power supply to the chassis.

Battery System
Connections
The cable loop length refers to the total length of wire within a given circuit. For
example, the combined length of the -48 Vdc (hot) lead and the DC return lead
equals the cable loop length. This would mean that a cabinet that needs 16 feet of
wire between the batteries and Power Supply Rack has a total loop length of
32 feet.
Determining Battery System Wire Size
The wire size for the connection between the batteries and the Power Supply Rack
is determined by the required wire length and the maximum allowable voltage
drop. The voltage drop in the loop must be kept to below 200 mV. The wire
selected should be UL approved and contain a high number of strands
for flexibility.
For a standard configuration, the Power Supply rack is located directly adjacent to
the batteries with a cable loop length of 20 feet or less, which requires the use of a
4/0 wire. Table 3 shows recommended wire sizes for various loop lengths. Larger
wire sizes may be used if the recommended sizes are not available. The
recommended wire sizes are large enough to allow site expansion to a fully
loaded site.
Selecting Battery System Lugs
Depending on the wire size used and the manufacturer of the Batteries, different
wire lugs are crimped onto the power cable ends. After the wire size has been
determined from Table 3, verify the manufacturer of the Batteries (Dynasty
or Absolyte).
Two different battery systems are offered with the EBTS. The Dynasty system is a
low to medium capacity, field expandable system supplied for smaller sites or
sites with minimal backup hour requirements. This system is custom designed to
Motorola specifications. The Dynasty system is manufactured by
Johnson Controls:

For a standard configuration, the equipment cabinets are located adjacent to the
Power Supply rack with a cable loop length less than 35’.
Each equipment cabinet has a total of four Power Supply Rack connections; two
-48 Vdc (hot) and two DC return. Each equipment cabinet contains two separate
power distribution systems. A single hot wire and a single return wire are used
for each side of the bus. Two return leads provide redundancy and allow a
uniform wire size to be used for all 48 Vdc power distribution system
connections.
