4.5. General
Mobile Communications Systems are planned as cellular systems and each
cell of the base station is required to provide RF coverage over a certain
geographical area as per defined RF power levels. Due to the RF
propagation properties, even using high radiated RF powers or complicated
antenna systems, there are zones within the coverage area where the RF
signal strength from base station remains inadequate for establishing the
desired connectivity to mobile users.
Repeaters traditionally are deployed in the Mobile Communication Network
to fill in the “Dead Zones” caused by blocking of signals by geographic
topologies such as mountains, valleys, dense foliage, high rise urban
landscapes and other man-made structures. The distance from the base
station also adversely affects the RF signal strength. The user views
repeaters as a means to extend base station coverage so as to reduce the
number of base stations and thereby accelerate network availability.
Repeater systems are installed after meticulous planning between BTSs
and the mobile users to provide RF coverage in the shadowed regions.
Repeater systems are available for different applications and ultimate
choice shall depend on some of the factors mentioned below:
•
•
•
Area to be provided with coverage.
Indoor/outdoor coverage.
Availability of BTSs in the vicinity.

5. Functional Description of BTS Link-104/108 Repeater
5.1. General Description
The BTS Link-104/108 Repeater System is designed to provide
indoor/outdoor coverage (depending on the location of the remote optical
unit installed) and is equipped to handle signals in AWS band. It provides
highly selective amplification in the pre-set band. The detail of operating
AWS service frequency band is given below:
Frequency Band:
Down Link: 2110 MHz to 2155 MHz
Up Link
: 1710 MHz to 1755 MHz
The Customer is requested to refer to the sticker on the repeater unit
giving the details of frequency band set.
•
The BTS Link-104/108 repeater system is a single band
Distributed Antenna System (DAS) for point to point & point to multipoint coverage.
•
It is comprised of a Master Optical Unit (MOU) and Single Band
Remote Optical Units (SBROUs), maximum 4 or 8, installed at
different sites. Two versions are available; BTS Link-104 version
supports up to 4 SBROUs and BTS Link-108 supports up to 8
SBROUs. MOU & each of the SBROUs are connected through a
pair of optical fibers.

6.3. Block Description
Main constituents of the system are:
I) Master Optical Unit (MOU)- Figures 13 & 14
The MOU is installed at the indoor location close to the BTS. In the DL
path, the received RF signals from the BTS are fed to the MOU, which
converts the RF signals to a stream of optical signals to be applied to the
optical fiber for transmission to SBROUs installed at different locations.
The optical signals between MOU & each of the SBROUs are propagated
on two single mode fibers.
In the UL path, the optical signals received from each of the SBROUs are
converted back to the RF signals in the preset frequency band for
application to the BTS.
The connectivity between the MOU and the BTS is through low loss RF
cable via a directional coupler.
Modules in the MOU
a) Duplexer: It is provided in the RF path interfacing BTS for providing
isolation between the DL & UL frequency bands (1710 MHz to 1755
MHz & 2110 MHz to 2155 MHz).
b) Optical Transmitter Unit (OTX): It receives RF signals in the preset
frequency band in the DL path & converts the same to the optical
signals in 1310 nm wavelength at a level of –1.5dBm±1dBm for
application to the optical fiber. One OTX unit is equipped in MOU for
BTS Link-104 & two OTX units are equipped for BTS Link-108.
c) Optical Splitter 1:4 Unit: As indicated earlier, one MOU supports 4
SBROUs or 8 SBROUs at different locations, the optical signals from
each OTX are split in this unit in to 4 in case of BTS Link-104. Two
splitters shall be equipped in case of BTS Link-108.
d) Optical Receiver Unit (ORX): 4 ORX or 8 ORX (depending on the
version) units are equipped in the MOU and each of them receives
optical signals in 1550 nm wavelength from the SBROU in the UL
path. Stream of out put optical signals from each ORX unit is
converted in to RF signals for application to BTS at the desired
power.
e) Power Supply Unit (PSU): The unit gets input of –48 V DC or 100 to
240 V AC (depending on option) for deriving different DC voltages
required for other active units in the MOU.
f) Gain Module: It is available after ORX in the UL path for making RF
signals available for application to the BTS.

which is close to the BTS from where the signals are to be fed through
directional coupler.
Following points need consideration:
• The MOU should be installed at the spot where optical fiber ends are
terminated and is a secured place where unauthorized access is
avoided.
• The length of RF coaxial cable route from MOU to the BTS via
directional coupler should also not be excessive & sharp bends are to
be avoided to minimize losses.
• MOU is operated from –48 V DC, this supply either from battery or from
a separate power pack operated through AC should be available.
• The site should be easily accessible by the maintenance staff.
• The environment should be free from excessive moisture, chemical
fumes and ultra-violet radiations.

8.3. Optical Fiber Laying
The connectivity between the MOU and SBROUs at different sites is through
optical fibers. In case the fibers are not available, the laying of optical fiber
cable has to be undertaken. Single mode fibers are used for which two fibers
are required between the MOU and each of the SBROUs.
Depending on the situation, the type of optical fiber cable could be of aerial
type or of buried type. In aerial type, the OFC is firmly fixed/clamped on the
poles/pillars in the open atmosphere and such cables are normally armored
to provide adequate protection/strength. The advantage of using such able is
that the installation job can be completed in less time. However, the cost of
the cable is higher. Whereas the buried type, the OFC is placed in pipes
which are laid underground.
A variety of cable designs are available to meet the requirements of different
installations. Some of the designs are given below:
• Loose tube construction: The fiber lies loosely inside a surrounding
plastic tube so that it can adjust itself when the cable is bent; micro
bending is almost completely eliminated by this technique. Loose tube
cables are preferred for long distance links and for almost all outdoor
applications.
• Tight buffer construction: The buffered fiber is completely enclosed
in a cushioning material (secondary coating up to an external diameter
of 900 micro meters) to improve crush resistance and vibration
isolation, minimizing micro bending. Tight buffer cables are usually
adopted for outdoor applications because they offer small cross-section
dimensions and small bending radius.
Termination of fibers on MOU and SBROU
Under the normal circumstances, two fibers are utilized for connecting
MOU to a particular SBROU, one for the UL & other for the DL path.
Every fiber must be labeled in order to indicate the connection particulars
& route.
Sharp bends on the pigtails are to be avoided while making connections.
The optical connectors must be cleaned thoroughly to avoid entry of dust
and obstructions to the optical signals.
The guidelines for OFC laying are:
• The exact route may be decided before starting the laying work.
• Extra length of OFC may be kept for future use at each end.
• The OFC should be free from all optical connectors and should be
sealed at both the ends at the time of laying.
• Sharp bends, extra pressure and pull should be avoided during
laying to avoid damage to the fibers.
• Proper splicing should be carried out for minimum splice losses.

Next Generation
Signal Enhancement
• All technical specifications from the OFC supplier should be
followed.
• The termination of OFC at each end should be done at FDFs, which
should be located close to the equipment.
• Connection between the OFC (terminated at FDF) and the
equipment should be carried out through optical jumpers with FCPC connectors.
8.4. Installation-SBROU
Outdoor Coverage: Following points need to be considered
• Availability of AC mains in the range 140-270V 47/63 Hz for energizing
the SBROU
• It is installed at outdoor site, so it should be in the secured area where
unauthorized access is avoided.
• The site should be close to the fiber termination point.
• It is mounted either on pole or on the wall; enough space should be
available for opening the unit door for testing & maintenance staff.
• Outdoor antenna with proper frequency band & gain is installed outside
preferable at a height for distribution of signals to the mobile users.
Termination/Connections at SBROU: Connections as detailed below need
to be carried out:
• Optical fibers for connectivity to MOU. Two fibers are needed for
each of the SBROUs.
• RF connection for transfer of signals from/to antennas.
• Power connection to the AC mains.
• Grounding of the unit.
Commissioning SBROU:
• After making the desired connections, Switch “ON” The power
supply.
• Check the LED status at ROU.
• Measure the Optical Output Power. It should be +4±1dBm.
• If any Parameter is not within the specified limits, check the
connections and observe for the alarm.

9. System Maintenance
9.1. General
The system normally operates without any operator intervention or
maintenance. If, in the unlikely event of a unit failure, the field replaceable
units (antenna unit, cables) should be checked for faults and the system
restored. The faulty unit can be removed and replaced with a spare while
the rest of the system is still operating. Soldering or local repair of the
modules should be avoided from better maintenance point of view. Faulty
module/unit should be replaced with genuine spares from Shyam Telecom
Limited only.
The power supply of the faulty unit should be isolated from AC mains and
DC power before any module is replaced. In the event of a system
malfunction, the status of the antenna systems should be checked as well
as the continuity of the cabling before replacing any modules within the
unit.
9.2. Preventative Maintenance
The BTS Link-104/108 does not require any preventative maintenance.
However, some of the common observations as tabulated below are
possible:
