A 1-1 June 2002Section 1 General Description1-1 IntroductionThis manual contains information and procedures for the operation of the model G3L-1900-31and G3L-1900-31-A Wideband (WCDMA) Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier (MCPA). The manual isorganized into the following sections and appendix.Section 1 General DescriptionSection 2 OperationAppendix A Specifications1-2 General DescriptionThe amplifiers are wideband, linear, feed-forward power amplifiers (WPAs) that operate in the 60MHz frequency bandwidth from 1930 to 1990 MHz with an instantaneous bandwidth of 20 MHz.The amplifier provides linear amplification for single or multi-carrier WCDMA signals. The amplifi-ers communicate with the base station via a TLCI control interface bus; passing alarm and meas-urement information to the base station and receiving control information from the base station. 1-3 Hardware InterfaceThere are three groups of interface connections located on the amplifier chassis. These are RF,power, and control interface (TLCI bus) as described in the paragraphs that follow.1-3.1 RF The RF interface is located on the power amplifier front panel consists of the RF-In (TX-In) andRF-Out (TX-Out) connectors as shown in Figure 1-1.1-3.2 Power Supply Power supply voltages (-48 VDC or 230 VAC) from the base station subrack are connected to theamplifier via connector X3, pins A – D located on the power amplifier rear panel as shown in figure1-1. Table 1-1 lists the voltages and descriptions for each pin.Table 1-1 Primary Power ConnectionsSignalGroupX3 ConnectorPinSignal Name DescriptionA L AC Phase (isolated from amplifierchassis)B N AC Zero (isolated from amplifierchassis)ACCPE AC Protective Ground (connectedto chassis)D-48VDC DC Minus (isolated from amplifierchassis)DCE+48VDC DC Plus (isolated from amplifierchassis)

A 1-3 June 20021-4 AlarmsThe WPA generates the following alarms and communicates then to the base station via the TLICbus:· VSWR· Gain · Temperature · Over-Drive · Power Supply· LinearizationThe base station is able to query the current alarm status from the WPA. Fault status is cleared atunit reset which means that any alarm detected after reset is reported to the base station. Thealarm status always represents existing conditions. 1-4.1 VSWRThe WPA supervises the output (load) VSWR and gives the alarm based on the following limits aslisted in table 1-3.Table 1-3 VSWR Alarm LimitsVSWR Alarm Status LimitsVSWR alarm ON VSWR at the output>6.0:1 @ phase 0-360ºVSWR alarm OFF VSWR at the output<3.0:1 or when the VSWR alarm is dis-abled @ phase 0-360º1-4.2 GainThe WPA supervises the gain of the unit and gives the gain alarm according to the limits listed intable 1-4.Table 1-4 Gain Alarm LimitsGain Alarm Status LimitsGain alarm ON Gain deviates more than ±1.5 dB from specified nominalgain or if the carrier cancellation loop is out of lock, the gainalarm is activatedGain alarm OFF Gain is within the specified range or disabled1-4.3 TemperatureThe WPA monitors the internal temperature. The measured temperature must represent the baseplate temperature of the main power amplifier. The alarm is given according to the limits listed intable 1-5.

This alarm causes an automatic WPA shutdown.1-4.6 LinearizationIn case of poor output signal, the linearization causes an automatic WPA shutdown.1-5 Status IndicatorThe status indicator LED is located on the WPA front panel as shown in figure 1-1. The LED hastri-color capability: red, yellow, and green. The LED’s blinking frequency is 0.5 – 1 Hz with a dutycycle of 45 – 55%. The LED indicates the status of the WPA as listed in table 1-6.

A 2-1 June 2002Section 2 Operation2-1 IntroductionThis section contains operating instructions for the G3L-1900-31 or G3L-1900-31-A widebandpower amplifier (WPA).2-2 Initial Start-Up and Operating ProceduresThe manual main power supply ON/OFF switch is located on the WPA front panel (refer to figure1-1 and paragraph 1-5 for status indicator conditions). Turn on the WPA as described in the stepsthat follow.CAUTIONBefore applying power, make sure that the input and output of the system is properlyterminated at 50 ohms. Do not operate the system without a load attached. Refer toappendix A for input power requirements. Excessive input power may damage theamplifier.WARNINGNever remove or install coaxial cables on either the subrack input or output port whenthe power amplifier is turned on. Operating the power amplifier while disconnectingand connecting RF cables may damage the equipment and/or cause personal injury.1. Verify that all input and output RF cables are properly connected. Do not apply an RF signalto the WPA.2. Turn on the main manual power supply switch (1=ON, 0=OFF). The WPA will self-test andinitialize (<15 sec), then establish communication with the base station via the TLCI bus.When completed, the WPA notifies the base station that it is ready to be taken into operation.The WPA then remains in a standby state until commanded by the base station. The com-mand received from the base station includes the operating band and based on that band,the pilot frequency sets to 10 MHz lower than the lowest carrier in the operating band.NOTEWhen the WPA is switched on in temperature conditions below the minimum operatingtemperature (-10ºC), self-heating is performed until an acceptable operatingtemperature exists.NOTEThe main manual power supply switch is also used to reset the WPA by manuallysetting the switch to OFF then back to ON.
