This Part Number represents the base configuration, which includes the Band Selective mode only (FCC Class B

Wideband Signal Booster Device). All Class B Signal Booster devices must be registered with the FCC prior to

operation.

SRDR-33-L1 (Channel Selective Software Upgrade)

This license upgrade adds a Channel Selective mode allowing the user to switch between Band Selective and Channel

Selective operation. When operating at channel bandwidths of 75KHz or less, this device is classified by FCC as a

Class A Narrowband Signal Booster Device, and as such, does not require registration with the FCC. Channel Selective

mode is typically used in RF congested areas where narrow pass windows are needed to minimize interference from

undesired frequencies. In Channel Selective mode, also known as “Channelized” mode, the user can assign up to 36

window filters, in any increment, between the 700 and 800 MHz bands.

SRDR-33-L2 (Echo Cancellation Software Upgrade)

Echo Cancellation Mode (“ZeroDelta” feature). This license upgrade adds an Echo Cancellation feature to Band and

Channel Selective modes. The Echo Cancellation feature includes an advanced patented algorithm that allows the

repeater to maintain maximum gain even when system isolation deteriorates to as low as the gain of the repeater.

Traditional repeaters require at least 15-20dB more isolation than system gain to prevent oscillation. The “ZeroDelta”

feature allows normal operation with 0dB difference between system isolation and system gain. This feature has

many advantages such as increased system stability and reliability, easy system commissioning and optimization,

and increased coverage footprint and cost savings in applications where weak off-air signals require a high gain

setting.

SRDR-33-L3 (System Analysis Module – Hardware and Software Upgrade)

System Analysis Module (SAM). This part number includes a hardware plug-in module and software that enables

advanced system analysis, such as: data logging of wideband spectrum to aid in application of window filters, to

spectrum analyzer features that display near-real time spectrum readings for both input and output.

700 PS stands for the signal that includes Public Safety narrowband (6+6 MHz) and the FirstNet (10+10 MHz). 800

PS stands for the signal that includes NPSPAC (3+3 MHz), PS & Non-Cellular SMR (6+6 MHz), and Expansion Band

(1+1 MHz).

Off-the-air RF signal that received from the donor antenna is down-converted to the IF signal. It goes to the FPGA

after the analog-to-digital conversion, and filtered to remove the unwanted signal. The signal that comes from FPGA

is reconstructed in the digital-to-analog converter. And then it would be up-converted by the same local oscillator

with the down-conversion. So, its frequency is same to the original signal.

2.7.3 Automatic Shutdown of Amplifiers

The equipment has an automatic shutdown function to protect the power amplifiers themselves and the wireless

network when the normal operational conditions cannot be maintained. The conditions of the shutdown RF power

amplifier are below.

A. High Output Power from RF Power Amplifier (Shutdown Algorithm type 1)

The equipment shut down the power amplifier automatically if the composite output power exceed the threshold

level for 10 seconds. The level can be set through GUI. Once an automatic shutdown occurs, the equipment will turn

on power amplifier automatically in 10 seconds to assess the power amplifier’s condition. If the shutdown condition

is detected again, the equipment will shut down the power amplifier. It tries to do this process up to 3 times. If the

shutdown condition is released, it continues to operate. After an automatic shutdown occurs 3 times continuously,

an automatic recovery is terminated. So, to turn on power amplifier is only possible by setting PA operation in the

GUI. The following diagram shows this shutdown algorithm type 1.

User Manual of SRDR-33-7080-A

3.6 Antenna Connections and Guidelines

3.6.1 Donor Antenna Installation Guidelines

 Accurately determine the azimuth to the donor site. Obtain the donor site information and approval from

the service provider/carrier.

 Ensure that the radiation path to the donor site is unobstructed.

 Mount the donor antenna at or toward the edge of the roof, in the direction of the donor site. Avoid having

the RF signal from the donor pass above the location(s) of the service antennas. Normally, the service

antennas are installed behind and below the donor antenna, as viewed from above. This approach helps

avoid interference and feedback to and from the service antennas.

 Normally, mounting the donor antenna higher will allow a less obstructed path to the donor site. However,

in high traffic metro areas, avoid mounting the donor antenna higher than necessary, as the quality of the

donor signal may become less stable and it is more likely to encounter adjacent channel interference.

 When possible, shield the rear of a donor antenna by locating it so that any HVAC units and/or penthouse

structures are behind the antenna, relative to the donor cell site location.

3.6.2 Indoor Antenna Installation Guidelines

 Use omnidirectional antennas indoors and locate them centrally with respect to the intended coverage

area to minimize signal leakage to the outside. Only use directional antennas indoors in special cases when

higher gain and directionality would be helpful and RF exposure limits will not be exceeded.

 To avoid Signal Booster uplink overload and gain limiting, mount the indoor antennas away from areas

where mobile subscribers frequently use their phones, such as desks or dispatch areas.

 To determine the quantity and locations of indoor antennas, measure Received Signal Strength Indication

(RSSI) using DM Tool software to determine areas of weak signals. These are the approximate areas where

indoor antennas may be needed.

 Be aware that the signal from an indoor antenna, in most cases, can be expected to penetrate

approximately two standard sheet rock walls to reach users. If the signal must travel through more than

two walls, or if the walls are made of materials other than sheet rock, it may be necessary to split the

available signal and add more antennas.

3.6.3 RF Cable Installation Guidelines

 For all coaxial connections to/from the Signal Booster - high performance, flexible, low loss 50 ohm coaxial

communications cable.

 All cables shall be weather-resistant type.

 If the coaxial cables are NOT weather-resistant type: wrap the exterior coaxial cables with insulation and

holding tape (Type 3M Rubber splicing tape) for environmental protection and to ensure longer lifetime.

 Cable length - determined by the Signal Booster installation plan. When calculating the cablelength, take

into account excess cable slack so as not to limit the insertion paths.

3.6.4 Connecting Antennas

 Connect the Donor and Service antennas.

 Verify all RF connectors are tightened and the cables and antennas are secured.

The Echo Cancellation feature includes an advanced algorithm that allows the repeater to maintain maximum gain

even when system isolation deteriorates to as low as the gain of the repeater. Traditional repeaters require at least

15-20dB more isolation than system gain to prevent oscillation. The “ZeroDelta” feature allows normal operation

with 0dB difference between system isolation and system gain.

4.5 Isolation Measurement & Tune-up

4.5.1 Monitor Downlink Input Power

Observe downlink input power from the GUI. To receive the input signal with high signal-to-noise ratio is essential

to maintain the service with better condition. Align the direction of donor antenna until the DL input power reading

is maximized.

4.5.2 Measure the isolation between donor antenna and service antenna

SOLiD Responder has the powerful algorithm to measure antenna isolation which doesn’t interfere with radio service.

After finishing the basic connection with both antennas, user just enable the amplifier and wait for the result for a

moment.

Figure 38. Isolation Measurement Window

4.5.3 Evaluate isolation value & reconfigure the antenna installation

BDA oscillation is caused by low isolation (antenna separation) between donor antenna and service antennas. The

recommended isolation between those antennas is 20 dB above the system gain. The amount of isolation that can

be achieved between antennas depends on several factors, such as the physical vertical and horizontal separation

(distance between the antennas), polarization, radiation pattern of the antennas, the medium between the antennas,

antenna gain etc. Considering the above serveral conditions, evaluate the antenna isolation if it is adequate to cover.

User Manual of SRDR-33-7080-A

4.5.4 Test coverage area

Use test-quipment to verify field intensity within the coverage area. If needed, realign the service antenna to achieve

the desired coverage.

Note that the equipment gain could not be set to maximum or the output power is not high enough due to

insufficient donor and service antennas isolation, then the antennas’ position should be changed to increase

isolation.

4.5.5 Verify UL gain and Performs test calls

Typically, the UL gain is set around 5dB less than DL gain. Users can calculate and determine if the repeater UL noise

will interfere with the BTS. Perform test calls in the coverage area to evaluate voice quality.

User Manual of SRDR-33-7080-A

4.6 SNMP traps & Time Settings

The Responder can notify the remote server about the external alarm output through SNMP (Simple Network

Management Protocol) Traps. To use this feature, fill the parameters about network and SNMP traps in the ①

section as shown below.

The Responder has another port that can be connected to the external network as well as a port for GUI. You should

fill the appropriate network parameters in the ② section to connect the Responder to the internet.

The Responder has Real Time Clock(RTC) inside and uses Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). Users can synchronize

Responder’s time with the time of GUI in the PC by clicking Sync.PC System button in the ③ section. Network

Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-

switched, variable-latency data networks.If you change the time in the ③ section, the time for the alarm message

also changes.
