Introduction
The goal of the MBS system is to provide high precision, reliable, ubiquitous positioning system
providing GPS like accuracies in indoors and urban canyons where it is challenging to get any
reliable position using GPS or other wide area reliable technologies. In addition to improved 2-D
accuracy the MBS system also provides meter level accuracy in the vertical dimension with the
aid of a MEMS pressure sensor. MBS technology provides a very fast time to first fix (TTFF) in
the order of ~5 seconds under cold start conditions. Similar to GPS, MBS technology allows
computation of the location on the device without any network dependence thus enabling a
wide variety of standalone applications. The signal structure of MBS is designed so that the
signal processing entities of a standard GPS receiver’s baseband can be reused. The system is
fundamentally designed for low power consumption of the receivers.
1.1
Purpose and Scope
This document describes the commissioning and normal usage procedure for the
NextNav Local beacon box (A4P-100-0013-01).
1.2
Intended Use
The NextNav Leopard beacon system is intended to be used in restricted access locations (RAL)
in outdoor and indoor environments. The NextNav Leopard beacon is a powered by a AC
power system approved for use in telecommunications equipment.
1.3
FCC Compliance Statements

Confirm Front Panel Cable Connections
The slave unit (bottom module shown in Fig 1 and the master units are connected to the timing
tray using a backplane board (behind the units) and 4 coaxial cables in the front as shown. Make
sure that GPS antenna cable is connected to the top right hand side connector and TX antenna
to the bottom one.

1. Verify the following external connections to the beacon:
a)
GPS antenna connection to the Leopard Box
b)
Tx antenna cable connection to the ‘TX’ port.
c)
Weather box connection to the WEATHER port.
d)
EvDO antenna cables to the EvDO Tx port. In cases of sites which have
been documented as requiring EvDO diversity, connect the diversity

documented as needing a POTS line, connect the phone line to the
‘TELCO’ port.
2. Verify that the following LEDs (located at the front panel) are lit indicating
proper operation:
a)
Primary unit: Status indicator LED is lit in RED
3. Connect the field service laptop with an Ethernet cable to the ‘Ethernet’ port on
the MARS beacon box. Wait for a few seconds to get an IP address on the field
service laptop. Try and browse the internet to ensure connectivity. Once
connectivity is ensured, call the operator at the NOC to further commission the
beacon box.

TX Antenna
Tx antenna will be installed indoors. In normal configurations, antenna is to be attached to the
ceiling structures. Proper installation procedures must be followed as defined in site specific
construction drawing. As a general rule the TX antenna shall be kept a minimum distance of 6
feet from any metallic vertical structures on other types of obstructions.
This radio transmitter (FCC ID: A4P-100-0013-01) has been approved by FCC to operate with the
antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna
impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain
greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this
device.
This radio transmitter may only operate using a vertically polarized antenna.
2.5
GPS Receive Antenna
GPS antenna should be installed such that it has clear view of sky. Ideally, you would keep the
antenna close to the ground away from obstruction
• Keep any horizontal blockage smaller than 10 degrees
• Obstruction Clearance guideline
– If it is 1 ft wide it should be at least 6 ft away
– If it is 10 ft wide, it should be at least 60 ft. away.
– If it is significantly less than 1 ft wide (like a guy wire, or a post) it should not cause any
measurable effect

Tune-up procedure not to exceed maximum TX power
A CSV file (configuration file) per transmitter are created by the NOC engineer based on the
installation parameters such as line lengths, antenna type etc. The TX output power level
setting is contained in the CSV file.
The output power is adjusted by the ‘PA gain” setting. This value in the CSV file is calculated by
a formula to set the output power (not to exceed 30W ERP). The variables used in the
calculation include PA Gain (Gpa), TX Antenna Gain (Gant), TX filter insertion loss (ILflt), internal
cable loss (ILint), external cable loss (ILext), and transceiver output power (PTCVR).
ERP (W) = 10^((PTCVR - ILint + Gpa - ILflt - ILext + Gant) / 10) / 1000
The PA gain setting should be set to a proper value so that total sum of net antenna gain and
cable loss coupled with PA output does not exceed 30 Watts EIRP, PEP (Peak Envelope Power) .
Table 2 is a list of all possible antennas and RF cable combinations with corresponding RF power
settings required to comply with the FCC requirement of 30 Watts EIRP Peal Envelope Power
(PEP).
