Earthing of Equipment Equipment 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. 2.2. Electric Shock Hazard The risk of electrical shocks due to faulty mains driven power supplies While potentially ever present in any electrical equipment, would be minimized by adherence to good installation practice and thorough testing at the following stages: a) Original assembly. b) Commissioning. c) Regular intervals, thereafter. All test equipment must 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. 2.3. RF Radiation Hazard RF radiation, (especially at UHF frequencies) arising from transmitter outputs connected to AWL’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 un-terminated. 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 compromise 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. 2.4. Lifting and other Health and Safety Recommendations Certain items of AWL equipment are heavy and care should be taken when lifting them by hand. Ensure that a suitable number of personnel, appropriate lifting apparatus and appropriate personal protective equipment is used especially when installing Equipment above ground e.g. on a mast or pole and manual handling precautions relevant to items of the weight of the equipment being worked on must be observed at all times when handling, installing or dismounting this equipment. Axell Wireless Limited Technical Literature Document Number 60-228701HBK WMATA CRCS Redundant Antenna System General Overview Issue No. 3 Date 28/05/2010 Page 6 of 114 2.5. Chemical Hazard Beryllium Oxide, also known as Beryllium Monoxide, or Thermalox™, is sometimes used in devices within equipment produced by Axell Wireless 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 Axell Wireless Ltd. for disposal. To return such equipment, please contact the Operations Support Department, who will give you a Returned Materials Authorization (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 AWL 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. 2.6. Laser Safety General good working practices adapted from EN60825-2: 2004/ EC 60825-2:2004 Do not stare with unprotected eyes or with any unapproved optical device at the fiber ends or connector faces or point them at other people, Use only approved filtered or attenuating viewing aids. Any single or multiple fiber end or ends found not to be terminated (for example, matched, spliced) shall be individually or collectively covered when not being worked on. They shall not be readily visible and sharp ends shall not be exposed. When using test cords, the optical power source shall be the last connected and the first disconnected; use only approved methods for cleaning and preparing optical fibers and optical connectors. Always keep optical connectors covered to avoid physical damage and do not allow any dirt/foreign material ingress on the optical connector bulkheads. The optical fiber jumper cable minimum bend radius is 3cm; bending to a smaller radius may result in optical cable breakage and excessive transmission losses. Caution: The F/O units are NOT weather proof. 2.7.

Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703 Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703 is built into a 2U, 19” rack-mount case. The Main Primary Downlink RF path from the BTS enters the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the N type port labeled “TX 1” (annotated “A” in section 3.3.4.) and then passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90852420 which couples off a small portion of the signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MON -20dB TX 1” (annotated “B” in section 3.3.4.) which provides a 20dB test/monitor port for the Main Primary Downlink input. The Main Primary Downlink path then passes into a Fiber Optic Transmitter Module 20-005401 where the RF signal is modulated onto a laser and the optical signal thus produced then exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 1 “TX” (annotated “C” in section 3.3.4.) and is transmitted to the Gallery Place Station CRAS System via a fiber optic cable link. The N type port labeled “TX 2” (annotated “D” in section 3.3.4..) is a Downlink input to a separate, parallel, Standby Redundant Downlink path with its own Directional Coupler, test monitor port (annotated “E” in section 3.3.4.) and Fiber Optic Transmitter Module. The Optical output from the Standby Redundant Downlink path exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 2 “TX” (annotated “F” in section 3.3.4.) Switching between the Main and Standby Redundant Downlink paths is accomplished manually by disconnecting the Downlink RF input from the “TX 1” port and connecting it to the “TX 2” port, and by disconnecting the optical Downlink output cable from the SC/APC optical port 1 “TX” and connecting it to the SC/APC optical port 2 “TX” N.B. The safety precautions noted in section 2 must be observed when changing from main to standby. The Main Primary Uplink optical signal from the Gallery Place Station CRAS System enters the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 1 “RX” (annotated “G” in section 3.3.4.) and passes into a Fiber Optic Receiver Module 20-005501 which demodulates the Uplink signal to RF and the Uplink RF signal then passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90-852420 which couples off a small portion of the signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MON -20dB RX 1” (annotated “I” in section 3.3.4.) which provides a 20dB test/monitor port for the Main Primary Uplink output. The Main Primary Uplink path then exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit for the BTS via the N type port labeled “RX 1” (annotated “H” in section 3.3.4.) The SC/APC optical port 2 “RX” (annotated “J” in section 3.3.4.) is an Uplink input to a separate, parallel, Standby Redundant Uplink path with its own Fiber Optic Receiver Module, Directional Coupler and test/monitor port (annotated “L” in section 3.3.4.) The RF output from the standby Uplink path exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit for the BTS via the N type port labeled “RX 2” (annotated “K” in section 3.3.4.) Switching between the Main and Standby Redundant Uplink paths is accomplished manually by disconnecting the optical Uplink input cable from the SC/APC optical port 1 “RX” and connecting it to the SC/APC optical port 2 “RX”, and by disconnecting the Uplink RF output from the “RX 1” port and connecting it to the “RX 2” port. N.B. The safety precautions noted in section 2 must be observed when changing from main to standby.

Squelch Gated BDA (band 2) The Carmen Turner Facility CRAS System provides the Redundant Downlink to and receives the Redundant Uplink signal from the Gallery Place Station CRAS System. In addition, the Carmen Turner Facility CRAS System also provides a Downlink to and receives an Uplink from a local Distributed Antenna System within the Carmen Turner Facility building Downlink RF from a remote off-air BTS is received and the signal is split into two paths; each path consists of a pair of frequencies, Downlink and Uplink, within the overall operating passband which can be processed together While allowing the easy rejection of opposing frequencies. For the sake of convention, within the Carmen Turner Facility CRAS System, the descriptions “Band 1” and “Band 2” will be used to refer to the two Downlink and Uplink pairs according to the following table: Band 1 Band 2 Downlink Uplink Downlink Uplink 489.5MHz to 491.0MHz 492.5MHz to 494.0MHz 496.3MHz to 496.7MHz 499.3MHz to 499.7MHz The Downlink signals are then processes utilizing SDR technology to define the eight operating channels. and then amplified. The two paths are re-combined and then fed to the distributed antenna system. RF Uplink from the distributed antenna system is split into two paths, for the reasons outlined above, which are processed utilizing SDR technology to define the eight operating channels and amplified. The two paths are then re-combined and then fed to the BTS. In the Downlink path the signal is split by means of a directional coupler and fed to a fiber optic transmitter which modulates the RF signal on to an optical signal which is then fed to the Gallery Place Station CRAS System. Optical Uplink signals from the Gallery Place Station CRAS System are received and demodulated to RF and coupled onto the Uplink path to the remote off-air BTS. Provision is made for a redundant standby path in both the Downlink and Uplink to and from the Gallery Place Station CRAS System; these are referred to as the “Main Redundant” and “Standby Redundant” paths.

Quadplexer (Base) 60-228706 Quadplexer (Base) 60-228706 is built into a 4U, 19” rack-mount case Downlink RF from the BTS enters the rack via the N type connector labeled “BASE PORT” on the rack lid (annotated “A” in section 4.3.3.) and the signal is fed to the N type port on the Quadplexer front panel labeled “BASE” (annotated “A” in section 4.4.4.). The signal path passes through 30dB Directional Coupler 90-852330 which is used to provide a test/monitor port for the Uplink signal and then the signal path is split into two branches, Band 1 and Band 2, by means of critical harness. The Band 1 branch is then further split by critical harness into Uplink and Downlink paths and the Band 1 Downlink path passes through a Bandpass Filter 02-016801 which is tuned to pass the Band 1 Downlink passband of 489.5MHz to 491.0MHz and to reject out-of-band signals and noise. The Band 2 branch is also further split by critical harness into Uplink and Downlink paths and the Band 2 Downlink path passes through a Bandpass Filter 02-013401 which is tuned to pass the Band 2 Downlink passband of 496.3MHz to 496.7MHz and to reject out-of-band signals and noise.

The Band 1 Uplink path is then combined with that of the Band 1 Downlink path by means of critical harness. The Band 2 Uplink from 8 Ch. Squelch Gated BDA 60-228705 enters the shelf via the N type port labeled “D” (annotated “E” in section 4.4.4.) and passes through a Bandpass Filter 02-013401 which is tuned to pass the Band 2 Uplink passband of 499.3MHz to 499.7MHz and to reject out-of-band signals and noise. The Band 2 Uplink path is then combined with that of the Band 2 Downlink path by means of critical harness and the Band 1 and Band 2 Uplink paths are then combined again by means of critical harness and the combined Uplink path passes through the 30dB Directional Coupler 90-852330 which couples off a small portion of the Uplink signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MONITORING” (annotated “F” in section 4.4.4.) providing a 30dB test/monitor port for the Uplink signal. The main Uplink signal then exits the shelf via the N type port labeled “BASE” (annotated “A” in section 4.4.4.) and the signal is fed to the N type connector labeled “BASE PORT” on the rack lid (annotated “A” in section 4.3.3.).

Squelch Gated BDA 60-228704 is built into an 8U, 19” rack-mount case 60-228704 utilizes Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology to digitally process the signal to define the required channel frequencies and bandwidth (eight channels in the Downlink path and eight in the Uplink path). As part of the digital signal processing function the signal amplitude is monitored to apply squelch functionality to the signal path to attenuate unwanted noise when the input signal level is low. The unit is pre-programmed with the 8 required duplex frequencies and channel bandwidths as indicated in section 4.5.2., these can be modified by the use of RMC software. Band 1 Downlink RF from Quadplexer (Base) 60-228706 enters the BDA via the N type port labeled “A” (annotated “A” in section 4.5.4.) and the Downlink signal passes through the Downlink path of UHF SDR Module E931030 to define the 8 required Downlink channels. After passing through the SDR module the Band 1 Downlink signal is split into two equal paths by 3dB Splitter/Combiner 05-002603; The first path passes through the Downlink 25W Power Amplifier 12-026902 which provides 37dB of signal gain and then the signal exits the BDA via the N type port labeled “C” (annotated “B” in section 4.5.4.) on its way to the local DAS by way of Quadplexer (DAS) 60-228706. The second path from 3dB Splitter/Combiner 05-002603 exits the BDA for Splitter/Combiner Unit 60-228702 (and ultimately the Gallery Place Station CRAS System) via the N type port labeled “F” (annotated “C” in section 4.5.4.) Band 1 Uplink RF from the local DAS (by way of Quadplexer (DAS) 60-228706) enters the BDA via the N type port labeled “D” (annotated “D” in section 4.5.4.) and passes through 15dB Directional Coupler 90852315 before entering UHF SDR Module E931030. Band 1 Uplink RF from Splitter/Combiner Unit 60-228702 (from the Gallery Place Station CRAS System) enters the BDA via the N type port labeled “E ” (annotated “E” in section 4.5.4.) and also passes through15dB Directional Coupler 90-852315 where it is coupled onto the main Uplink signal path which passes through the Uplink path of UHF SDR Module E931030 which utilizes SDR technology to digitally process the signal to define the 8 required Uplink channels. After passing through the SDR module the Band 1 Uplink signal passes through the Uplink 25W Power Amplifier 12-026902 which provides 37dB of signal gain and then the signal exits the BDA via the N type port labeled “B” (annotated “F” in section 4.5.4.) on its way to the BTS by way of Quadplexer (Base) 60-228706. 8 Ch. Squelch Gated BDA 60-228704 is powered by a 24V DC supply from the Redundant PSU Modules 96-300091 in PSU Housing Shelf 96-300090, The 24V DC supply powers the Power Amplifiers and an onboard DC/DC converter J1421001 steps down the 24V supply to provide 6.45v and 15v DC to power the SDR, Controller and Ext. Alarm/battery modules within the BDA. Each Power Amplifiers have alarm outputs which are summed at the 9 way “D” panel plug labeled “ALARM” on the front panel (annotated “J” in section 4.5.4.), the alarm data is connected to the External Alarm and Battery Module J1161030 (annotated “K” in section 3.6.3.), from where the summary alarm data is fed to the Krone terminal block located near the top of the rack (see section 4.3.2.). The SDR controller module H561003 is used to control and supervise the SDR functionality, two ports are provided where an operator may connect into the system, a local serial port, (a 9 way “D” panel socket annotated “N” in section 4.6.4.) is used with a laptop PC running suitable terminal-emulation software to interrogate and control the equipment using GET and SET commands. Alternatively the equipment can be configured using RMC software via the RJ45 ethernet port (annotated “O” in section 4.6.4.) To ensure synchronous communications between the SDR and the H56 controller, a high stability 10MHz reference generator, R031002 is incorporated in the equipment backplane.

Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703 Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703 is built into a 2U, 19” rack-mount case. Downlink RF from Splitter/Combiner Unit 60-228702 enters the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the N type port labeled “TX 1” (annotated “A” in section 4.8.4.) and passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90-852420 which couples off a small portion of the signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MON -20dB TX 1” (annotated “B” in section 4.8.4.) which provides a 20dB test/monitor port for the Downlink input. The main Downlink path then passes into a Fiber Optic Transmitter Module 20-005401 where the RF signal is modulated onto a laser and the optical signal thus produced then exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 1 “TX” (annotated “C” in section 4.8.4.) and is transmitted to the Gallery Place Station CRAS System via a fiber optic cable link, this is the Main Redundant optical Downlink signal. The N type port labeled “TX 2” (annotated “D” in section 4.8.4.) is a Downlink input to a separate, parallel, Standby Redundant Downlink path with its own Directional Coupler, test monitor port (annotated “E” in section 4.8.4.) and Fiber Optic Transmitter Module. The Optical output from the Standby Redundant Downlink path exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 2 “TX” (annotated “F” in section 4.8.4.) Switching between the Main Redundant and Standby Redundant Downlink paths is accomplished manually by disconnecting the Downlink RF input from the “TX 1” port and connecting it to the “TX 2” port, and by disconnecting the optical Downlink output cable from the SC/APC optical port 1 “TX” and connecting it to the SC/APC optical port 2 “TX”. N.B. The safety precautions noted in section 2 must be observed when changing from Main to Standby Redundant. The Main Redundant Uplink optical signal from the Gallery Place Station CRAS System enters the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 1 “RX” (annotated “G” in section 4.8.4.) and passes into a Fiber Optic Receiver Module 20-005501 which demodulates the Uplink signal to RF and the Uplink RF signal then passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90-852420 which couples off a small portion of the signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MON -20dB RX 1” (annotated “I” in section 4.8.4.) which provides a 20dB test/monitor port for the Main Redundant Uplink output. The Main Redundant Uplink path then exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit for Splitter/Combiner Unit 60-228702 via the N type port labeled “RX 1” (annotated “H” in section 4.8.4.) The SC/APC optical port 2 “RX” (annotated “J” in section 4.8.4.) is an Uplink input to a separate, parallel, Standby Redundant Uplink path with its own Fiber Optic Receiver Module, Directional Coupler and test/monitor port (annotated “L” in section 4.8.4.) The RF output from the Standby Redundant Uplink path exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit for Splitter/Combiner Unit 60-228702 via the N type port labeled “RX 2” (annotated “K” in section 4.8.4.) Switching between the Main Redundant and Standby Redundant Uplink paths is accomplished manually by disconnecting the optical Uplink input cable from the SC/APC optical port 1 “RX” and connecting it to the SC/APC optical port 2 “RX”, and by disconnecting the Uplink RF output from the “RX 1” port and connecting it to the “RX 2” port. N.B. The safety precautions noted in section 2 must be observed when changing from Main to Standby Redundant. Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703 is powered by a 24V DC supply from one of the PSU Modules 96-300091 in PSU Housing Shelf 96-300090, The 24V DC supply powers two on-board DC/DC converters 96-200024 arranged in a parallel dual redundant configuration, the outputs of which are combined by power diodes to provide a 12V DC supply for the fiber optic modules within the unit An alarm system is fitted to Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703, each of the fiber optic modules carries its own voltage-free contact alarm relay output which are summed at the 15 way “D” panel plug labeled “ALARM” (annotated “EE” in section 4.8.4.) which connects to the Krone terminal block located near the top of the rack (see section 4.3.2.).

Quadplexer (DAS) 60-228706 Quadplexer (DAS) 60-228706 is built into a 4U, 19” rack-mount case Band 1 Downlink RF from the 8 Ch. Squelch Gated BDA 60-228704 enters the shelf via the N type port labeled “A” (annotated “A” in section 4.9.4.) and passes through a Bandpass Filter 02-016801 which is tuned to pass the Band 1 Downlink passband of 489.5MHz to 491.0MHz and to reject out-of-band signals and noise. The Band 1 Downlink link path is then combined with that of the Band 1 Uplink path by means of critical harness. Band 2 Downlink RF from the 8 Ch. Squelch Gated BDA 60-228705 enters the shelf via the N type port labeled “C” (annotated “B” in section 4.9.4.) and passes through a Bandpass Filter 02-013401 which is tuned to pass the Band 2 Downlink passband of 496.3MHz to 496.7MHz and to reject out-of-band signals and noise. The Band 2 Downlink link path is then combined with that of the Band 2 Uplink path by means of critical harness and the High and Band 1 Downlink paths are then combined again by means of critical harness and the combined Downlink path passes through 30dB Directional Coupler 90-852330 which couples off a small portion of the Downlink signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MONITORING” (annotated “D” in section 4.9.4.) providing a 30dB test/monitor port for the Downlink signal. The main Downlink signal then exits the shelf via the N type port labeled “DAS” (annotated “C” in section 4.9.4.) and the signal is fed to the N type connector labeled “DAS PORT” on the rack lid (annotated “C” in section 4.3.3.). Uplink RF from the DAS enters the rack via the N type connector labeled “DAS PORT” on the rack lid (annotated “C” in section 4.3.3.) and the signal is fed to the N type port on the Quadplexer front panel labeled “DAS” (annotated “C” in section 4.9.4.). The signal path passes through 30dB Directional Coupler 90-852330 which is used to provide a test/monitor port for the Downlink signal and then the signal path is split into two branches (Band 2 and Band 1) by means of critical harness. The Band 1 branch is then further split by critical harness into Uplink and Downlink paths and the Band 1 Uplink path passes through a Bandpass Filter 02-016801 which is tuned to pass the Band 1 Uplink passband of 492.5MHz to 494.0MHz and to reject out-of-band signals and noise. The Band 2 branch is also further split by critical harness into Uplink and Downlink paths and the Band 2 Uplink path passes through a Bandpass Filter 02-013401 which is tuned to pass the Band 2 Uplink passband of U/L 499.3MHz to 499.7MHz and to reject out-of-band signals and noise. The two Uplink paths, High and Band 1 then exit the Quadplexer for their respective BDAs; the Band 1 Uplink exits the shelf for 8 Ch.

Normally the Primary Downlink signal from the Jackson Graham Building is passed on to the CRCS Donor Unit but if the signal strength of the Primary Downlink path falls below a pre-set threshold then RF relays in the Gallery Place Station CRAS System automatically switch to the Redundant signal path from the Carmen Turner Facility CRAS System. 26 Uplink paths are received from the CRCS Donor Unit; each path is fed into a Channelized DSP U/L Squelch Gate and the outputs from those 26 units are combined and modulated onto optical signals, the Primary optical Uplink being fed to the Jackson Graham Building CRAS System and in the event that the main signal path is switched out, the Redundant optical Uplink path is fed to the Carmen Turner Facility CRAS System 5.1.

Rack 2 Alarm Wiring 5.11 Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703 (Gallery Place Station) Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703 is built into a 2U, 19” rack-mount case. The Primary Downlink optical signal from the Jackson Graham Building CRAS System enters the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 1 “RX” (annotated “A” in section 5.11.4.) and passes into a Fiber Optic Receiver Module 20-005501 which demodulates the Downlink optical signal to RF and the Downlink RF signal then passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90-852420 which couples off a small portion of the signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MON -20dB RX 1” (annotated “C” in section 5.11.4.) which provides a 20dB test/monitor port for the Primary Downlink output. The Primary Downlink path then exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit for the RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 via the N type port labeled “RX 1” (annotated “B” in section 5.11.4.) The Redundant Downlink optical signal from the Carmen Turner Facility CRAS System enters the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 2 “RX” (annotated “G” in section 5.11.4.) and passes into a Fiber Optic Receiver Module 20-005501 which demodulates the Downlink signal to RF and the Downlink RF signal then passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90-852420 which couples off a small portion of the signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MON -20dB RX 2” (annotated “I” in section 5.11.4.) which provides a 20dB test/monitor port for the Redundant Downlink output. The Redundant Downlink path then exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit for the RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 via the N type port labeled “RX 2” (annotated “H” in section 5.11.4.) The Primary RF Uplink from the RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 enters the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the N type port labeled “TX1” (annotated “D” in section 5.11.4.) and passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90-852420 which couples off a small portion of the signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MON 20dB TX 1” (annotated “E” in section 5.11.4.) which provides a 20dB test/monitor port for the Primary Uplink input. The Primary Uplink path then passes into a Fiber Optic Transmitter Module 20-005401 where the RF signal is modulated onto a laser and the optical signal thus produced then exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 1 “TX” (annotated “F” in section 5.11.4.) and is transmitted to the Jackson Graham Building CRAS System via a fiber optic cable link. The Redundant RF Uplink from the RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 enters the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the N type port labeled “TX2” (annotated “J” in section 5.11.4.) and passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90-852420 which couples off a small portion of the signal and feeds it to the N type port labeled “MON -20dB TX 2” (annotated “K” in section 5.11.4.) which provides a 20dB test/monitor port for the Redundant Uplink input. The Redundant Uplink path then passes into a Fiber Optic Transmitter Module 20-005401 where the RF signal is modulated onto a laser and the optical signal thus produced then exits the Dual Fiber Optic Unit via the SC/APC optical port 2 “TX” (annotated “L” in section 5.11.4.) and is transmitted to the Carmen Turner Facility CRAS System via a fiber optic cable link. Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703 is powered by a 24V DC supply from one of the PSU Modules 96-300091 in PSU Housing Shelf 96-300090, The 24V DC supply powers two on-board DC/DC converters 96-200024 arranged in a parallel dual redundant configuration, the outputs of which are combined by power diodes to provide a 12V DC supply for the fiber optic modules within the unit An alarm system is fitted to Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703, each of the fiber optic modules carries its own voltage-free contact alarm relay output which are summed at the 15 way “D” panel plug labeled “ALARM” (annotated “EE” in section 5.11.4.)

RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 is built into a 2U, 19” rack-mount case and receives both Primary (Jackson Graham Building) and Redundant (Carmen Turner Facility) Downlink signals from the Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703; the RF level of the Primary Downlink is monitored by a power detector and if the signal falls below a preset threshold the unit automatically switches from the Primary to the standby Redundant path; the Uplink paths are switched at the same time. The Primary Downlink signal from the Jackson Graham Building CRAS System by way of Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703, enters RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 via the N type port labeled “PATH 1 D/L” (annotated “A” in section 5.12.5.) and the signal passes through an 8dB In-line Attenuator 93-000065 and then through a 1W Low Power Amplifier 12-030301 which provides 30dB of signal gain, the amplifier is used to overcome the subsequent power splitting losses of the CRCS fiber system. The Downlink path is then fed out of the shelf via the SMA port labeled “PATH 1a” (annotated “B” in section 5.12.5.) which is connected to the SMA port labeled “PATH 1b” (annotated “D” in section 5.12.5.) by a short length of UT141 cable (annotated “C” in section 5.12.5.). This break in the signal path allows the amplifier to be isolated from the rest of the path for testing purposes. Upon re-entering the unit the Primary Downlink path passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90-852320 which couples off the signal and feeds it to an RF Detector Module 17-019805 which monitors the Downlink signal strength and the main Primary Downlink path passes through the Downlink RF Transfer Relay 96900045. The detector module has a DC monitor jack labeled “PATH 1 MON” (annotated “W” in section 5.12.5.) where the signal can be monitored with a multimeter with reference to the “0V” jack (annotated “Y” in section 5.12.5.), the RF level at which the transfer relay operates is adjusted by the variable potentiometer labeled “RX 1 ADJ” (annotated “U” in section 5.12.5.). There is a Green LED indicator labeled “RX 1 ACTIVE” (annotated “BB” in section 5.12.5.) that illuminates when the RF signal level is above the required threshold. The Redundant Downlink signal enters RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 via the N type port labeled “PATH 2 D/L” (annotated “G” in section 5.12.5.) and the signal passes through an 8dB In-line Attenuator 93000065 and then through a 1W Low Power Amplifier 12-030301 which provides 30dB of signal gain, the amplifier is used to overcome the subsequent power splitting losses of the CRCS fiber system. The Redundant Downlink path is then fed out of the shelf via the SMA port labeled “PATH 2a” (annotated “H” in section 5.12.5.) which is connected to the SMA port labeled “PATH 2b” (annotated “J” in section 5.12.5.) by a short length of UT141 cable (annotated “I” in section 5.12.5.). As with the Primary Downlink, this break in the signal path allows the amplifier to be isolated from the rest of the path for testing purposes. Upon re-entering the unit the Redundant Downlink path passes through a 20dB Directional Coupler 90852320 which couples off the signal and feed it to an RF Detector Module 17-019805 which monitors the Redundant Downlink signal strength and the Redundant Downlink path also passes into the Downlink RF Transfer Relay 96-900045 to provide the signal should the Primary Downlink signal fail. The detector module has a DC monitor jack labeled “PATH 2 MON” (annotated “X” in section 5.12.5.) where the signal can be monitored with reference to the “0V” jack, the RF level at which the Green LED indicator labeled “RX 2 ACTIVE” (annotated “CC” in section 5.12.5.) illuminates is adjusted by the variable potentiometer labeled “RX 2 ADJ” (annotated “V” in section 5.12.5.). After passing through the RF Relay the Downlink path passes through a 30dB Directional Coupler 90852330 which couples off the signal to provide a monitor/test port labeled “D/L MON -30dB” (annotated “F” in section 5.12.5.) for the Downlink output. The Downlink path then exits the Unit for CRCS Donor Unit via the N type port labeled “REMOTE D/L” (annotated “E” in section 5.12.5.). Axell Wireless Limited Technical Literature Document Number 60-228701HBK WMATA CRCS Redundant Antenna System General Overview Issue No. 3 Date 28/05/2010 Page 79 of 114 The Automatic changeover of the transfer relay function can be overridden by selecting the Manual position of the switch labeled “AUTO / MANUAL” (annotated “S” in section 5.12.5.), the GREEN LED labeled “AUTO” (annotated “DD” in section 5.12.5.) is illuminated when in the Auto mode, the YELLOW LED labeled “MANUAL” (annotated “EE” in section 5.12.5.) will illuminate when the Manual mode is selected. In the Manual mode, the switch labeled “RX 1 / RX 2” (annotated “T” in section 5.12.5.) enables the signal source to be manually selected between Primary and Redundant paths. When the Transfer Relay has selected the Redundant path, the RED LED labeled “RELAY” (annotated “AA” in section 5.12.5.) will illuminate. In the reverse direction back to the Donor base station, the Uplink signals from the external Combiner Unit 60-228907 enters the RF Failover Switch Unit via the N type port labeled “REMOTE U/L” (annotated “K” in section 5.12.5.) and passes through a 30dB Directional Coupler 90-852330 which couples off the signal to provide a monitor/test port labeled “UL MON -30dB” (annotated “L” in section 5.12.5.) for the Uplink input. The Uplink path then passes through the Uplink RF Transfer Relay 96-900045 which is normally set to pass the Uplink signal along the Primary Uplink path to the Jackson Graham Building CRAS System by way of Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703; this path exits the RF Failover Switch Unit via the N type port labeled “PATH 1 U/L” (annotated “M” in section 5.12.5.) but if the RF Transfer Relays 96-900045 have been switched from the Primary to the Redundant paths then the Uplink signal is diverted to the Redundant path to the Carmen Turner Facility CRAS System by way of Dual Fiber Optic Unit 60-228703, this path exits the RF Failover Switch Unit via the N type port labeled “PATH 2 U/L” (annotated “N” in section 5.12.5.) RF Failover Switch Unit 60-228905 is powered by a 24V DC supply from one of the PSU Modules 96300091 in PSU Housing Shelf 96-300090, The 24V DC supply powers two on-board DC/DC converters 96200024 arranged in a parallel dual redundant configuration, the outputs of which are combined by power diodes to provide a 12V DC supply active modules within the unit Each of the two LPAs and the dual DC/DC convertors are monitored for alarms, should a fault occur the front panel RED LED labeled “ALARM” (annotated “R” in section 5.12.5.) will illuminate and a contact alarm relay output will be activated on “D” panel plug labeled “ALARM” (annotated “EE” in section 5.12.5.) the status of the Transfer relay is also indicated on the Alarm connector. 5.12.1.

DSP U/L Squelch Gate 60-228904 16 Ch. DSP U/L Squelch Gate 60-228904 is built onto a 4U, 19” rack-mount case. There are 26 DSP U/L Squelch Gate units in the Gallery Place System each one receives an Uplink input from the existing CRCS donor unit. The purpose of the Squelch gate is to selectively filter the required frequencies from the input broadband noise and intermodulation and to incorporate a digit squelch to the signal. This ensures that only uplink paths with radio traffic are fed to the base station which in turn gives over 13dB improvement in the carrier to signal noise floor. The 60-228904 utilizes Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology to digitally process the signal to define the required channel frequencies and bandwidth (eight channels in the Uplink band 1 path and eight in the Uplink Band 2 path). As part of the digital signal processing function the signal amplitude is monitored to apply squelch functionality to the signal path to attenuate unwanted noise when the input signal level is low. The unit is pre-programmed with the 16 required uplink frequencies and channel bandwidths as indicated in section 5.17.2., these can be modified by the use of RMC software. The Uplink signals from the CRCS donor unit fiber optic receivers enter the Squelch Gate unit via the N type port labeled “UPLINK IN” (annotated “A” in section 5.17.4.), the signal passes through a 3dB Splitter/Combiner 05-002603 which splits the signal into two equal paths, each path then enters the UHF SDR Module E921030. Path A handles frequencies in the range of 492.5MHz to 494.0MHz While Path B handles frequencies in the range of 499.3MHz to 499.7MHz. The SDR module selectively amplifies and down converts each band of frequencies to a VHF Intermediate Frequency which is converted from Analogue to Digital before Digital Signal Processing to the required pass bandwidth and frequency (16 Uplink channels per Squelch Gate unit). During the digital processing, the amplitude of the required channel is compared with a preset reference and if the signal exceeds the threshold setting, the signal is enabled to the output. After signal processing has taken place, the signals pass through a Digital to Analogue process before being up converted back to the original to frequency bands. The two Uplink signal paths (A & B) are then recombined by a second 3dB Splitter/Combiner 05-002603 and the Uplink signal exits the Squelch Gate via the N type port labeled “UPLINK OUT” (annotated “B” in section 5.17.4.) 16 Ch. DSP U/L Squelch Gate 60-228904 is powered by a 24V DC supply from the Redundant PSU Modules 96-300091 in PSU Housing Shelf 96-300090, The 24V DC supply feeds an on-board DC/DC converter J1421001 which steps down the 24V supply to provide 6.45v and 15v DC to power the SDR, Controller and Ext. Alarm/battery modules within the Squelch Gate shelf. An alarm system is fitted, the Squelch Gate shelf has an alarm output which is accessible from the terminals on the front of the External Alarm and Battery Module J1161030 (annotated “E” in section 5.17.4.), from where the alarm data is fed to the Krone terminal block located near the top of the rack (see section 5.10.). The SDR controller module H561003 is used to control and supervise the SDR functionality, two ports are provided where an operator may connect into the system, a local serial port, (a 9 way “D” panel socket annotated “H” in section 5.17.4.) is used with a laptop PC running suitable terminal-emulation software to interrogate and control the equipment using GET and SET commands. Alternatively the equipment can be configured using RMC software via the RJ45 ethernet port (annotated “I” in section 5.17.4.) To ensure synchronous communications between the SDR and the H56 controller, a high stability 10MHz reference generator, R031002 is incorporated in the equipment backplane.
