SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1
Earthing of Equipment
Cell Enhancers supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets and earthed in
conformity with appropriate local, national and international electricity supply and safety
regulations.
1.2
Electric Shock Hazard
Electrical shocks due to faulty mains driven power supplies.
Whilst ever potentially present in any electrical equipment, such a condition would be
minimised by quality installation practice and thorough testing at:
a) Original assembly.
b) Commissioning.
c) Regular intervals, thereafter.
All test equipment to be in good working order prior to its use. High current power supplies
can be dangerous because of the possibility of substantial arcing. Always switch off during
disconnection and reconnection.
1.3
RF Radiation Hazard
RF radiation, (especially at UHF frequencies) arising from transmitter outputs connected to
AFL’s equipment, must be considered a safety hazard.
This condition might only occur in the event of cable disconnection, or because a ‘spare’
output has been left unterminated. Either of these conditions would impair the system’s
efficiency. No investigation should be carried out until all RF power sources have been
removed. This would always be a wise precaution, despite the severe mismatch between the
impedance of an N type connector at 50Ω, and that of free space at 377Ω, which would
severely mitigate against the efficient radiation of RF power. Radio frequency burns could
also be a hazard, if any RF power carrying components were to be carelessly touched!
Antenna positions should be chosen to comply with requirements (both local & statutory)
regarding exposure of personnel to RF radiation. When connected to an antenna, the unit is
capable of producing RF field strengths, which may exceed guideline safe values especially if
used with antennas having appreciable gain. In this regard the use of directional antennas
with backscreens and a strict site rule that personnel must remain behind the screen while the
RF power is on, is strongly recommended.
Where the equipment is used near power lines, or in association with temporary masts not
having lightning protection, the use of a safety earth connected to the case-earthing bolt is
strongly advised.

1.4
Chemical Hazard
Beryllium Oxide, also known as Beryllium Monoxide, or Thermalox™, is sometimes used
in devices within equipment produced by Aerial Facilities Ltd. Beryllium oxide dust can be
toxic if inhaled, leading to chronic respiratory problems. It is harmless if ingested or by
contact.
Products that contain beryllium are load terminations (dummy loads) and some power
amplifiers. These products can be identified by a yellow and black “skull and crossbones”
danger symbol (shown above). They are marked as hazardous in line with international
regulations, but pose no threat under normal circumstances. Only if a component containing
beryllium oxide has suffered catastrophic failure, or exploded, will there be any danger of the
formation of dust. Any dust that has been created will be contained within the equipment
module as long as the module remains sealed. For this reason, any module carrying the
yellow and black danger sign should not be opened. If the equipment is suspected of failure,
or is at the end of its life-cycle, it must be returned to Aerial Facilities Ltd for disposal.
To return such equipment, please contact the Quality Department, who will give you a
Returned Materials Authorisation (RMA) number. Please quote this number on the packing
documents, and on all correspondence relating to the shipment.
PolyTetraFluoroEthylene, (P.T.F.E.) and P.T.F.E. Composite Materials
Many modules/components in AFL equipment contain P.T.F.E. as part of the RF insulation
barrier.
This material should never be heated to the point where smoke or fumes are evolved. Any
person feeling drowsy after coming into contact with P.T.F.E. especially dust or fumes
should seek medical attention.

OVERVIEW/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The AFL Channel Selective Cell Enhancer is a 2-way on-band repeater. Various models are
available to cover frequency bands from 50MHz to 3000MHz. Its main sphere of
applications is in urban areas where the topology is such that shadows occur in the
propagation pattern (for example within large buildings, conference centres and tunnels,
etc.,)
The Channel Selective Cell Enhancer is a 4-port device with direct connection to two
antennas, a highly directional Yagi or similar aligned towards the base site (for the nine
downlink channels) and a dedicated uplink antenna for the mobiles. The frequency bands
that are passed by the Cell Enhancer are set as per the specific customer requirements.
AFL manufacture a wide range of Cell Enhancers, configured for each customer's specific
requirements. Two basic physical variants are available, a rack mounted version to fit in a
standard 19" rack and an environmentally sealed wall mounted version which requires no
further enclosure.
The rack-mounted version is supplied in this instance in 5 shelf units. Each shelf/tray unit
containing active modules has a ‘D.C. on’ indicator on the front panel and the PSU (in the
downlink amplifier shelf) also has an ‘A.C. on’ indicator.

5.1.1
Bandpass Filters (02-011204 & 02-013401)
5.1.1.1
Description
The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the
passband frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is
basically Chebyshev with a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of combline
design, and are carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss,
VSWR and intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated
to reduce surface ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50Ω load at the input
and output ports.
Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life
and require no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to
replace the module rather than attempt repair or re-tuning.
No adjustments should be attempted without full network sweep analysis facilities to
monitor both insertion loss and VSWR simultaneously.

UHF 3dB Splitter (05-002603)
5.2.1.1
Description
The 3dB Splitter/Combiner used is a device for accurately matching two or more RF
signals to single or multiple ports, whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all
inputs/outputs and ensuring that the VSWR and insertion losses are kept to a minimum.
Any unused ports will be terminated with an appropriate 50Ω load.

¼Watt 0- -30dB Switched Attenuator (10-000701)
5.2.2.1
General Application
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be
excessive. Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in
each path, to reduce the gain.
5.2.2.2
Switched Attenuators
The AFL switched attenuators are available in two different types; 0 – 30dB in 2 dB steps
(as in this case), or 0 – 15dB in 1 dB steps. The attenuation is simply set using the four
miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly marked with the
attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values switched
in. They are designed to maintain an accurate 50Ω impedance over their operating
frequency at both input and output.

Description
The 15dB gain low noise amplifier used in the unit is a double stage solid-state low noise
amplifier. Class A circuitry is used throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity over
a very wide dynamic range. The active devices are very moderately rated to provide a
long trouble-free working life. There are no adjustments on these amplifiers, and in the
unlikely event of a failure, then the complete amplifier should be replaced.

Description
The low noise amplifiers used are double stage solid-state low-noise amplifiers. Class A
circuitry is used in the units to ensure excellent linearity over a very wide dynamic range.
The active devices are very moderately rated to provide a long trouble-free working life.
There are no adjustments on these amplifiers, and in the unlikely event of failure then the
entire amplifier should be replaced. The two amplifiers are very similar in construction,
the only difference is the biasing, which changes the gain figure, see tables below.

3 Stage Amplifier Alarm Boards (12-002201)
5.2.6.1
Description
Amplifier Alarm Boards are fitted to monitor the bias conditions of AFL Class A
amplifiers which remain constant in normal operation. Any departure from normal bias
conditions is a result of device failure, excess temperature, over-driving or oscillation
(excessive power).
In normal operation, the Class A bias circuit of the amplifier develops a constant voltage
of 1.20V across the collector current setting resistor. The Amplifier Alarm Board is a
window comparator device, which is adjusted to sense a departure from this condition.
Several different alarm outputs are provided to simplify interfacing, (Relay Contact, Open
Collector, and TTL Logic Levels)
The basic version of the Alarm Board (12-002801) monitors a single amplifier stage. A
three-stage version (12-002201) is used on complex amplifiers where three separate
comparators have their outputs logically combined to a common output stage. Failure of
any one stage will activate the alarms.
Note that the alarm board has a green Light Emitting Diode located near to the centre of
the printed circuit board, which is illuminated on ‘Good’, and extinguished on ‘Alarm’. It
is therefore a simple matter to identify an active module failure, by searching for an
Alarm Board which has its green LED extinguished. A simple test of the alarm board is
possible by shorting across the monitor inputs, pins 1 and 2, 3 and 4 or across pins 5 and
6. This last monitor input is inactive if the board has been converted to a two way alarm
board. (Refer to relevant amplifier alarm wiring diagram.)

3)
Volt-free change over relay contacts.
Open collector NPN transistor pulls low on alarm.
TTL driver.
The use of precision voltage sources and resistors has eliminated the need for initial
adjustment or calibration, and the board will function correctly with a wide variation in
power supply voltage (8 to 30 volts, nominal supply is 12 or 24Volts).
There are two selectable link options on the three-way board:
LINK1 - Removed to convert to two-way alarm board.
LINK2 - Removed to isolate 0V from chassis earth.
The one way alarm board only has the 0V isolation link (LINK2) fitted.

450MHz 20W Power Amplifier (12-004201)
5.2.7.1
Description
The power amplifiers fitted to this unit are multi-stage, solid state power amplifiers. Class
A circuitry is employed throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity over a wide
dynamic frequency range. All the semi-conductor devices are very conservatively rated to
ensure low device junction temperatures and a long, trouble free working lifetime.
The power amplifiers should require no maintenance over their operating lives. Under no
circumstances should the cover be removed or the side adjustments disturbed unless it is
certain that an amplifier has failed; since they are critically aligned during manufacture
and any re-alignment will require extensive test equipment.

Single DC/DC Converter (13-001702)
5.2.8.1
Description
This unit it is used to derive a fixed voltage power supply rail from some higher voltage.
Typically, it is used to derive 5V, 8V, 12V or 15V from a 24V input. This particular
regulator is dedicated to supply 12.8V DC.
The circuit is based upon an LM317 variable voltage regulator, which is capable of
supplying a maximum of 1.5A output current. Note that at full output current the
dissipation of the device must remain in limits, bearing in mind the voltage which is
being dropped across it. The maximum allowable dissipation will also depend on the
efficiency of the heatsink on which the device is mounted.
The output voltage of the unit is programmed by the resistive divider which is fitted
between the output terminal, the reference terminal and ground. R1 is the reference
programming resistor and is fixed in all versions. R2 is fitted on 12V versions while R3,
(which is in parallel with R2) is fitted on 8V and 5V versions.

24V Single Relay Board (80-008902)
5.2.9.1
Description
The General Purpose Relay Board allows the inversion of signals and the isolation of
circuits. It is equipped with a single dual pole change-over relay RL1, with completely
isolated wiring, accessed via a 15 way in-line connector.
The relay is provided with polarity protection diodes and diodes for suppressing the
transients caused by "flywheel effect" which can destroy switching transistors or induce
spikes on neighbouring circuits. It’s common use is to amalgamate all the alarm signals
into one, volts-free relay contact pair for the main alarm system.
Note that the board is available for different voltages (12 or 24V) depending on the type
of relay fitted at RL1.

5.2.10 24V 410W Power Supply (96-300054)
5.2.10.1
Description
The power supply unit is a switched-mode type capable of supplying 24V DC at 17.0Amps
continuously. Equipment of this type typically requires approximately 8.0 Amps at 24V DC,
so the PSU will be used conservatively ensuring a long operational lifetime.
No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output
voltage from the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically set
to 24.5V.
All the PSU’s used in AFL Cell Enhancers are capable of operation from either 110 or 220V
nominal AC supplies. The line voltage is sensed automatically, so no adjustment or link
setting is needed by the operator. No drawings of the PSU are available.

5.3.3.3
VHF/ UHF Programming Procedure
Check that the required frequency falls within the operational frequency limits of the Cell
Enhancer.
For each channel required, subtract the synthesiser offset from the required operating
frequency and record the resulting local oscillator frequency.
Divide each local oscillator frequency by the channel spacing and check that the result is an
integer (i.e.: no remainder).
If the synthesiser division ratio is not an integer value, check the required operational
frequency and repeat the calculation checking for mistakes.
Convert the required local oscillator frequency to synthesiser programming switch state
patterns according to the following table.

VHF/ UHF Programming Example
Frequency required:

Channel spacing:
12.5 kHz
Synthesiser offset:
21.4MHz
The Local Oscillator frequency is therefore:
465.4 – 21.4 = 444.0MHz
Dividing the LO frequency by the channel spacing of 0.0125MHz:
444.0
= 35520
0.0125
This is an integer value, therefore it is OK to proceed.

5.3.4
Channel Selectivity Module (17-010601)
5.3.4.1
Description
The channel selectivity module is employed when the Cell Enhancer requirement dictates
that very narrow bandwidths (single operating channels), must be selected from within
the operating passband. One channel selectivity module is required for each channel.
The Channel Selectivity Module is an Up/Down frequency converter that mixes the
incoming channel frequency with a synthesised local oscillator, so that it is downconverted to an Intermediate Frequency (IF) in the upper HF range. An eight pole crystal
filter in the IF amplifier provides the required selectivity to define the operating passband
of the Cell Enhancer to a single PMR channel. The same local oscillator then converts the
selected IF signal back to the channel frequency.
Selectivity is obtained from a fixed bandwidth block filter operating at an intermediate
frequency (IF) in the low VHF range. This filter may be internal to the channel selectivity
module (Crystal or SAW filter) or an externally mounted bandpass filter, (LC or Helical
Resonator). Various IF bandwidths can therefore be accommodated. A synthesized Local
Oscillator is employed in conjunction with high performance frequency mixers, to
translate between the signal frequency and IF.
The operating frequency of each channel selectivity module is set by the programming of
channel selectivity module frequencies and is achieved digitally, via hard wired links,
banks of DIP switches (see section 5.3.3), or via an onboard RS232 control module,
providing the ability to remotely set channel frequencies.
Automatic Level Control (ALC) is provided within each channel selectivity module such
that the output level is held constant for high level input signals. This feature prevents
saturation of the output mixer and of the associated amplifiers.
Alarms within the module inhibit the channel if the synthesised frequency is not locked.
The synthesiser will not usually go out of lock unless a frequency far out of band is
programmed.
The channel selectivity module is extremely complex and, with the exception of channel
frequency programming within the design bandwidth, it cannot be adjusted or repaired
without extensive laboratory facilities and the necessary specialised personnel. If a fault
is suspected with any channel selectivity module it should be tested by substitution and
the complete, suspect module should then be returned to AFL for investigation.

Automatic Gain Control (17-001101, Det. & 17-001201, Atten.)
5.5.2.1
Description
The equipment is fitted with an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) system. This is generally
fitted in the Uplink path (not usually needed in the downlink path, as the signal here is at an
almost constant level), to avoid overloading the amplifiers (with the associated performance
degradation) should a mobile be operated very close to the unit.
Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the
RF level being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it
begins to increase the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set)
threshold. Therefore overloading of the power amplifier is avoided.
The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some
adjustment of this AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is
not recommended under any circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater
than the 1dB compression point as system degradation will occur.
The detector comprises of a 50Ω transmission line with a resistive tap which samples a
small portion of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a
conventional half wave diode rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage proportional to
the RF input signal.
This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to
the output, which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator.
This unit is fitted at some earlier point in the RF circuit.
The unit contains a 12V DC regulator in the detector module, which supplies stabilised
voltage to the DC amplifier and via an external cableform to the AGC attenuator.
For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the
AGC attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control
line voltage will fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a
constant value.
The AGC onset level is adjusted by the choice of sampler resistor R1 and by the setting of
potentiometer VR1.
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to
30dB. The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated
AGC detector unit.

INSTALLATION
6.1
Initial Installation Record
When this equipment is initially commissioned, please use the equipment set-up record sheet
in Appendix A. This will help both the installation personnel and AFL should these figures
be needed for future reference or diagnosis.
Installation will be a matter of securing each shelf into its appropriate place in the rack
cabinet, connecting all the cables (RF, Antennas, DC and alarm ) to their correct
ports/connectors and system testing (at the customer’s discretion) to prove the original
specification. Power should not be applied until all connections have been double-checked
and verified.
Refer to the system drawing(s) in section 4. for cabling details.

MAINTENANCE
7.1
7.1.1
General Procedures
Basic Fault Finding
In the event that the performance of the system is suspect, a methodical and logical approach
to the problem will reveal the cause of the difficulty. The System consists of modules fitted
within shelves or trays and all housed within a standard 19” rack type cabinet.
Transmissions from the main base stations are passed though the system (via air interface
antennas) to the mobile radio equipment; this could be a handheld radio or a transceiver in a
vehicle. This path is referred to as the downlink. The return signal path from the mobile
radio equipment to the base station is referred to as the uplink.
The first operation is to check the alarms of each of the active units and determine that the
power supplies to the equipment are connected and active.
This can be achieved remotely (via CEMS, the RS232 Cell Enhancer Management System,
if fitted), or locally with the front panel LED’s. The green LED on the front panels of
shelves containing active components should be illuminated, while the red alarm indicator
should be off.
If an Alarm is on, then that individual shelf must be individually tested against the original
test specification.
The individual amplifier units within the shelf have a green LED showing through a hole in
their piggy-back alarm board, which is illuminated if the unit is working correctly.
If an amplifier is suspect, check the DC power supply to the unit. If no other fault is
apparent use a spectrum analyser to measure the incoming signal level at the input and then
after reconnecting the amplifier input, measure the output level. Consult with the system
diagram to determine the expected gain and compare result.
In the event that there are no alarms on and all units appear to be functioning it will be
necessary to test the system in a systematic manner to confirm correct operation.

7.1.2
Downlink
Confirm that there is a signal at the expected frequency and strength from the base station. If
this is not present then the fault may lay outside the system. To confirm this, inject a
downlink frequency signal from a known source at the master site BTS input and check for
output at the remote site feeder output.
If a signal is not received at the output it will be necessary to follow the downlink path
through the system to find a point at which the signal is lost. The expected downlink output
for the given input can be found in the end-to-end test specification.
7.1.3
Uplink
Testing the uplink involves a similar procedure to the downlink except that the frequencies
used are those transmitted by the mobile equipment.
7.1.4
Fault repair
Once a faulty component has been identified, a decision must be made on the appropriate
course to carry out a repair. A competent engineer can quickly remedy typical faults such as
faulty connections or cables. The exceptions to this are cable assemblies connecting
bandpass filter assemblies that are manufactured to critical lengths to maintain a 50-ohm
system. Care should be taken when replacing cables or connectors to ensure that items are of
the correct specification. The repair of component modules such as amplifiers and bandpass
filters will not usually be possible in the field, as they frequently require specialist
knowledge and test equipment to ensure correct operation. It is recommended that items of
this type are replaced with a spare unit and the faulty unit returned to AFL for repair.

7.1.5
Checking service
Following the repair of any part of the system it is recommended that a full end-to-end test is
carried out in accordance with the test specification and that the coverage is checked by
survey.
It is important to bear in mind that the system includes a radiating cable network and base
stations that may be faulty or may have been damaged.

7.3.1
Care of Modules
General Comments
Many of the active modules contain semiconductor devices utilising MOS technology, which
can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Correct handling of such modules is mandatory to
ensure their long-term reliability.
To prevent damage to a module, it must be withdrawn/inserted with care. The module may
have connectors on its underside, which might not be visible to the service operative.
7.3.2
Module Removal (LNA’s, general procedure):
The following general rules should be followed to remove a module:
Remove power to the unit
Remove all visible connectors (RF, DC & alarm)
Release module retaining screws.
Slowly but firmly, pull the module straight out of its position. Take care not to twist/turn
the module during withdrawal. (When the module is loose, care may be needed, as there
may be concealed connections underneath).
7.3.3
Module Replacement (general):
Carefully align the module into its location then slowly push the module directly straight
into its position, taking care not to twist/turn it during insertion.
Reconnect all connectors, RF, alarm, power etc.,(concealed connectors may have to be
connected first).
Replace retaining screws (if any).
Double-check all connections before applying power.
7.3.4
Power Amplifiers
1) Remove power to the unit. (Switch off @ mains/battery, or remove DC in connector)
2) Remove alarm wires from alarm screw terminal block or disconnect multi-way alarm
connector.
3) Carefully disconnect the RF input and output coaxial connectors (usually SMA)
If alarm board removal is not required, go to step 5.
4) There is (usually) a plate attached to the alarm board which fixes it to the amplifier,
remove its retaining screws and the alarm board can be withdrawn from the amplifier in
its entirety. On certain types of amplifier the alarm board is not mounted on a dedicated
mounting plate; in this case it will have to firstly be removed by unscrewing it from the
mounting pillars, in most cases, the pillars will not have not have to be removed before
lifting the amplifier.

5) If the amplifier to be removed has a heatsink attached, there may be several different
ways it can have been assembled. The most commonly used method, is screws through
the front of the heatsink to threaded screw holes (or nuts and bolts), into the amplifier
within the main case. If the heatsink is mounted on the rear of the main case (e.g., against
a wall in the case of wall mounted enclosures), then the fixing method for the heatsink
will be from within the case, (otherwise the enclosure would have to be removed from the
wall in order to remove the heatsink).
When the heatsink has been removed, the amplifier may be unscrewed from the main
casing by its four corner fixings and gently withdrawn.
Fitting a new power amplifier module will be the exact reverse of the above.
Note: Do not forget to apply fresh heatsink compound to the heatsink/main case
joint and also between the amplifier and the main case.
7.3.5
Low Power Amplifier Replacement
Disconnect the mains power supply and disconnect the 24V dc supply connector for the
LPA.
Disconnect the RF input and output cables from the LPA.
Disconnect the alarm connector.
Remove the alarm monitoring wires from (D type connector) pins 9 and 10.
Remove the LPA module by removing the four retaining screws, replace with a new
LPA module and secure it with the screws.
Connect the RF cables to the LPA input and output connectors. Reconnect the wires to
the alarm board connector pins 9 and 10.
Reconnect the DC supply connector and turn the mains switch on.
Note:
Tighten SMA connectors using only a dedicated SMA torque spanner. If
SMA connectors are over-tightened, irreparable damage will occur. . Do not use
adjustable pliers to loosen/tighten SMA connectors.
Also take care not to drop or knock the module as this can damage (or misalign in the
case of tuned passive modules) sensitive internal components. Always store the modules
in an environmentally friendly location
7.3.6
Module Transportation:
To maintain the operation, performance and reliability of any module it must be stored and
transported correctly. Any module not installed in a whole system must be kept in an antistatic bag or container. These bags or containers are normally identified by being pink or
black, and are often marked with an ESD label. Any module sent back to AFL for
investigation/repair must be so protected. Please contact AFL’s quality department before
returning a module.
