1 Overview
R-TRON NOTCHCELL repeaters are used to fill out uncovered areas in CDMA1900 mobile systems, such as
base station fringe areas, road tunnels, business and industrial buildings, etc.
A NOTCHCELL repeater receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the signals to mobile
stations. Also it receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both directions are served
simultaneously.
To be able to receive and transmit signals in both directions, the repeater is connected to a donor antenna
directed towards the base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area to be covered.
Control of the repeaters is performed using a desktop or notebook loaded with the R-TRON OMT, Operation
and Maintenance Terminal, which can communicate with the repeaters either locally or remotely via wireless

data modem. Remote operation can be performed either via CDMA net.
To be able to control many R-TRON NOTCHCELL repeaters in common, there is a Sprint EMS center.
R-TRON NOTCHCELL Repeaters work as bi-directional amplifiers.
A repeater receives, amplifies, and retransmits signals downlink and uplink simultaneously, i.e. from the base
station via the repeater to the mobile stations and from the mobile stations via the repeater to the base station.
The repeater can be connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station, and to a distributor
antenna directed towards the area to be covered. These antennas are connected to the repeater with type-N
connectors.
To prevent instability due to poor antenna isolation, R-TRON has developed NOTCHCELL Repeater. R-TRON
NOTCHCELL Repeaters become clear of having superiority over the other RF repeaters in the world.
The R-TRON NOTCHCELL Repeaters are controlled by powerful microprocessors. Alarm and operational
status LEDs are visible on the bottom of the repeater.
The repeater works with convection cooling without fan.
Operational parameters, such as gain, power levels, alarm condition, Automatic Level Control condition, etc.
are set using a desktop or notebook and R-TRON OMT, which communicate, locally via RS-232C cable, with
the repeater. Remote operation is performed via CDMA net.

<Table 2-3> Antenna Features
The repeater is housed in a cast aluminum chassis that is waterproof, class NEMA 4x, for outdoor use. The
chassis has a design suited for outdoor use as well as indoor use.
The chassis consists of a cabinet and a cover joined with hinges. The cabinet contains the repeater circuitry.
Inside the repeater, a number of amplifier boards are individually shielded and located under a metal cover that
can be folded out. These amplifier boards are different types depending on the supported system.
The followings are the Technical Specification of NOTCHCELL Repeater.
CAUTION:
The antenna used for this transmitter must not exceed 20.15dBi and must be installed to provide a minimum separation
distance of 3 meters from all persons.

3.3 Sub Unit Overview
Functionally, repeaters are built up with several sub units. The sub units of main repeater are as follows:
Band selective repeaters can handle multi-carriers over a wide band. The bandwidth is adjustable. A band
selective repeater requires two UDC (with LNA) units and two PA units in the repeater.
One pair of UDC (with LNA)/PA units is for uplink signaling and one pair is for downlink signaling.

UDC converts (Down) a signal received from LNA and gets rid of signal which is out of the bandwidth range,
then converts (Up) again into the original frequency range and controls ‘Path Gain’.
3.3.2 MCPA (Multi Carrier Power Amplifier unit)
Figure 5 MCPA -UL
Figure 6 MCPA -DL
CDMA repeaters can be equipped with two MCPA that boosts the output gain with typically 35~40dB. PA (Power
Amplifier) amplifies RF signal received from UDC (Downlink) up to 50 dB and its Maximum RF input is 42 dBm in
terms of CDMA SFA standards.

5.3 UDC for downlink
Figure 18 Block diagram of Up-Down converter unit for downlink
The above product is Un-Down Converter for Downlink and it is composed of three parts (Down Converter, IF
and Up Converter)
Down Converter
Down Converter consists of RF level detector, BPF, Digital Atten, AMP and Analog Atten, Mixer. RF level
detector converts RF signal into DC, which is able to detect signal level. The first BPF removes signal out of
required bandwidth among the inputted signal from LNA and AMP compensates the loss from the first BPF.
Digital Atten, which is connected to Controller, operates to control Path Gain. Analog Atten is used for minute
control of Path Gain. Mixer converts RF into IF (IF-70MHz)
IF
IF is composed of Filter (LPF and SAW) and AMP. LPF removes spurious signal which is higher passing band
and SAW Filter gets rid of unwanted signal which is out of required bandwidth. AMP compensates loss which
occurs when signal passing through Filter.
System Description NOTCHCELL Repeater
R-TRON Proprietary & Confidential Page 19
Up Converter
Up Converter consists of Mixer, AMP, BPF, Digital Atten, Analog Atten and RF level detector. Mixer is used to
convert IF (70 MHz) to Down Link Path RF Frequency. BPF is to remove signal out of service range. Digital
Atten operates connected to controller to control Path Gain.
LNA
Figure 19 Block diagram of Low Noise Amplifier unit for downlink.
This product is a low noise amplifier used for NOTCHCELL downlink. It is generally composed of RF block
and Fault block (Alarm circuit).
RF block has approximately 30dB gain at CDMA1900 through 3-stage amplification, and its noise index is
0.9dB. Fault block is a circuit that detects current flowing in each TR of RF block.
Fault circuit detects current flowing in 1

1.0V), battery input power is shut down to protect battery and it is how to
Prevent the storage batter from the over-discharge.
The output power, as converting into AC_IN/Battery of Battery/AC_IN, operates in a proper way and supply the
stable power until the over-discharge function works.
