Overview
USER MANUAL
Introduction
The In-Hancer Plus family is a modular Bi-Directional Amplifier product. BiDirectional Amplifiers (BDA’s) are radio frequency amplifiers that amplify signals in
two directions. There are two basic BDA Applications; "Line Amplifiers" and “OffAir”. Line Amplifiers are low gain (40 dB typical), while Off-Air are high gain (80 dB
typical). The In-Hancer Plus does NOT have separate models for these two
applications, but rather uses non volatile memory and software settings for gain.
Line Amplifier BDA's
An In-building RF distribution system takes on one of several forms including, but
limited to, radiating cable, distributed tapped radiators, or high power repeater
antennas. For an in-building RF distribution system that requires some gain to
compensate for the system loss, Line Amplifier BDA's are best for the job. Line
Amplifiers provide amplification of RF signals to recover signal loss contributed by
radiating cable and other system components. The Figure below shows an example
of a Tunnel RF Distribution System using Line Amplifiers. The system consists of
Line Amplifiers strategically inserted between radiating cables. As the RF signal
travels along the radiating cable, it loses signal strength. Line Amplifiers compensate
for the RF loss by amplifying the signal back to the desired signal strength before
sending it down the next distribution section, thus maintaining in-building RF
seamless coverage.

USER MANUAL
Off-Air Operation BDA's
Off-Air BDA's are intended to extend coverage into areas with coverage deficiency
such as inside office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, etc. They are designed to
be located independently of the donor site and must be equipped with their own
antenna systems - one to communicate with the donor site and the other(s) to
communicate with portables in the shadow zone. A typical in-building coverage
extension system is shown below. The "Head-End" BDA is responsible for the
amplification of both incoming “Off-Air” downlink signals and outgoing uplink signals.
The in-building distribution antenna system comprises of Coaxial cable, Signal taps,
splitters and antennas to extend coverage on every floor, basement and
underground parking garage.

This distributed antenna system is based on Kaval Wireless Technologies’ “Tapped
Radiator” RF signal distribution approach. The technology makes use of coaxial
cable with Signal Taps strategically located and connected to Omni-directional
ground plane antennas. This technology offers flexibility in system design,
installation and optimization. Once the RF cable backbone has been installed,
additional signal taps and antennas can quickly and easily be added to a live
system, without the need to take the system out of service. Hence, new coverage
areas can be added, or the system can easily be modified if the layout should
change (e.g. modernization retrofits or process modifications).

Mounting the In-Hancer Plus BDA
The physical installation is accomplished by mounting the enclosure onto a vertical
wall. Ensure that the unit is mounted in the upright position, as indicated by the
upright Kaval Wireless Technologies’ logo. Using four mounting lugs on the
enclosure as a template insert four bolts to the wall. Make sure the bolts are capable
of supporting the weight. The enclosure can be mounted as described below:
Raise the enclosure so that it about 1” to 3” away from the bolts so that one
can see the bolts through the larger diameter of the keyhole slots.
Move the enclosure closer to the wall so that those four keyhole type slots are
hooked onto the bolts.
Slide the enclosure down until all bolts fit well in the narrow part of the keyhole
slots.

Connections
In-Hancer Plus BDA Connectors are on the bottom of the enclosure. RF cables can
be connected to these connectors using RF cables as follows.
Connect the in-building Distributed Antenna System cable to the Uplink port.
Connect the Donor Site cable to the Downlink port.
Connect AC Power.
Connect any Data Cables.
AC Power and RF Connections should be installed with all standard installation
practices for lightning protection. This includes the grounding and electrical bonding
together of all equipment racks and cabinets in the room. It also includes a
grounding of the primary antenna cable and the installation of proper surge
suppression (lightning arrestor) equipment at the entrance to the equipment room. It
is highly recommended that AC Power Wiring be performed by a qualified Electrician
so as to ensure compliance with all National and Local Electrical Wiring Regulations.
Connecting power cables can be done as follows:
The In-Hancer Plus BDA enclosure can be grounded by connecting a No. 6
copper grounding wire to the grounding stud located at the bottom of the
enclosure.
Connect the power cable to the AC INPUT connector located at the bottom of
the enclosure.
Set the In-Hancer Plus BDA operating parameters using a PC or via the CAN
Network.

Battery Backup
USER MANUAL
DCM000000105
If the In-Hancer Plus BDA is being used without a Battery it must be configured to
NOT use a battery. Without a battery the BDA will shut down or reset with any
disruption to the AC power. When power is re-established the system will restart
automatically within 30 seconds. External batteries may be connected using the SBBATT-CAB Battery Cable. The BDA has a built-in battery charger that will
automatically recharge the attached battery.

Carrier De-Rating
USER MANUAL
DCM000000105
There are two requirements for the de-rating of RF Carriers in a multiple channel
environment; one is Intermodulation - signals produced from non-linear effects
between the intended channel signals. This intermodulation may cause interference
to receiving equipment. In order to minimize Intermodulation signals, Power derating must be applied. In the USA there are FCC Intermodulation Specifications
published in the EIA Standard PN2009.
The second requirement is de-rating to maintain the integrity of complex digital
communications signals.
The Tables below gives the maximum per channel Output Levels allowed as a
function of the number of channels. Note that depending on the actual input levels,
the gain may need to be reduced.
The figures shown are to the nearest dB, and are for the 800-900MHz InHancer Plus BDA's. For UHF Models a further de-rating of 2dB is required.
FM Carriers (output levels)
Complex Carriers (output levels)

Antenna Installation
•
•
USER MANUAL
DCM000000105
All Antenna Installation to be performed by Qualified Technical Personnel only.
Antenna Installation Instructions and locations below are for the purpose of
satisfying FCC RF Exposure Compliance requirements.
•
The Roof Top Antenna or Antennae for linking to the Donor Site(s) is/are
directional (high gain) Antennae, fixed-mounted physically on the side or top of a
building, or on a tower. The Antenna Gain must be no more than 20 dBi. The
Roof Top Antennae location should be such that only Qualified Technical
Personnel can access it, and that under normal operating conditions no other
person can touch the Antenna, or approach within 7 meters of the Antenna.
•
For the Cellular Uplink Band (824-849 MHz) the Roof Top Antenna or
Antennae for linking to the Donor Site(s) has the added restriction that the
Effective Radiated Power (ERP) must not exceed 7 Watts (+38 dBm). Thus, if
the AGC is set (as per the Carrier De-Rating Chart) to +28dBm as an example,
the maximum allowed Antenna Gain must be no more than 10 dBi.
•
The In-Building Antenna connection is via a coaxial cable distribution system
with Signal Taps at various points connected to the fixed-mounted Indoor
Antennae. This is shown in the figure in the Introduction. The Indoor Antennae
are simple 1/4 Wavelength (0 dB Gain) types. They are used with KAVAL
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES 12, 16, or 20 dB Cable Taps. As such the
maximum EIRP will be at the first Tapped Antenna, which will be 12 dB below
the maximum signal level of the BDA (+40 dBm); +28 dBm, or 0.63 Watts EIRP.
These Antennae are to be installed such that no person can touch the Antenna,
or approach within 0.2 Meters.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
WARNING
ALL ANTENNA INSTALLATION IS TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED
TECHNICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
