Repeater Systems-Introduction
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 physics of
radio propagation, 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 inducted 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 rising 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.
Antenna isolation to be achieved.

areas.
Typical In-Building Coverage
The R-20-930 (One way paging) repeater is designed to provide optimal
coverage for areas of 1000 Sq Meters (10,000 sq. ft) to 2,000 Sq Meters
(20,000 sq. ft). However, performance also depends on the amount of in-

building shadowing and the available forward signal level at the donor
antenna. Typical coverage is usually planned for relatively small areas
such as large conference rooms or several adjacent rooms in smaller
office areas. Figure 1 shows application of an indoor repeater in a small
building. Coverage is primarily determined by the available forward signal
level at the outdoor yagi antenna input, loss due to the RF cable length,
type of RF cable installed and achievable isolation for optimum R-20-930
performance. Indoor coverage varies greatly due to the nature of various
building construction techniques and materials. Approximations of signal
level/coverage can be determined with the following assumptions:
i. 12 dBi donor antenna. 7dBi indoor directional antenna.
ii. Installed total cable and connector loss of approximately 5 dB
for 40 Meters (125 feet) of typical 1/4” coaxial foam cable.
iii. Interior building structure consists of typical vertical stud and
drywall composition.
iv.
Isolation should be 15 dB more than the gain set for the repeater.

Description R-20-930 (One way paging) Repeater
The Repeater system comprises of high power amplifiers with automatic
power control and highly selective amplification in the DL direction. It is
incorporated with a Donor antenna (highly directive outdoor yagi antenna)
and Server antenna (indoor omni directional antenna), specifically
designed for interior configurations. The donor antenna must point towards
the cell of the base station from where the signals are proposed to be
picked up and is usually mounted on the exterior of the building so as to
receive the maximum forward signal level from the base station. The indoor
antenna is specifically designed to blend into the ceiling of a typical office
providing RF signals in all directions downward and outward from the
installation point. For in-building configurations requiring higher gain or
directional RF signal, such as a long hallway or corridor, a medium gain
directional antenna may cover the area best by mounting the antenna to the
opposing wall, where coverage is required.
The repeater is envisaged with the following capabilities:
a) Monitoring
Monitoring and control of the repeater is provided through a local USB
port, which provides the alarms monitoring & status.
b) Application
The repeater is used for providing indoor coverage for the signals meant
for broadcasting.
c) Power Supply
The unit is shipped with a power supply adaptor designed for input of
100-240 V AC, 47/63 Hz. Power consumption is approximately 20 Watts.
d) Mechanical
The unit is 312x141x54 mm (12x5x2 inches) wall mount. Mounting setup
is provided for Installation.

INSTALLATION
8.1
ENGINEERING CONSIDERATION
a. SITE SELECTION
Site selection affects the overall performance of the system hence it
requires prime consideration. The system comprises of a unit, which
houses all the modules. The unit is installed at the indoor site and the
Donor antenna can have directivity to the BTS from where the signals are
proposed to be intercepted.
Once the expected coverage area is determined and a site installation
plan is established, a pre-installation checklist should be considered and
reviewed for the following items:
1. Identify the Service Provider’s base station location and measure the
available signal strength at the exterior of the installation location.
2. Identify the installation location for the DONOR antenna, and review
the antenna manufacturer’s installation procedures for additional
considerations. Ensure that the DONOR antenna has proper
directivity to the service provider’s base station. If the directivity is
obstructed, determine the azimuth position by using a magnetic
compass for approximate alignment of donor antenna with base
station antenna.
Following points need consideration:
• The DONOR antenna mounted should have direct line of
•
•
•
•
•
sight with the donor site (BTS).
Likewise the set of SERVER antennas should have proper
directivity to the areas where coverage is desired to
maximize the signal strength.
Availability of AC mains for energizing the system.
Shortest route without sharp bends for laying RF cable to the
DONOR antenna.
Shortest route without sharp bends for laying RF cable to
SERVER antenna.
Identify the spot for installing the repeater unit, which is away
from other heat generating appliances or equipment. There
should not be any direct exposure to direct sunlight or
atmosphere consisting of chemical fumes.

•
Accessibility for the maintenance team.
b. PLACEMENT OF ANTENNAS
Antennas are deployed for intercepting signals from the donor site and
distributing signals to the mobile users. Proper selection of both DONOR
& SERVER antennas is of prime importance. Following points need to
be considered:
• The antennas should have proper frequency band of
operation.
• Gain as per requirement for achieving maximum efficiency.
•
It is 10-12 dB for the DONOR antenna.
Adequate separation from the power lines to avoid damage
to the equipment and humans.
Antenna with proper characteristics to maintain adequate
•
isolation to avoid oscillations. Normally, isolation should be
15 dB more than the gain set for the repeater. It should
have good front to back ratio.
The beam width for the DONOR antenna should be as small
•
•
•
as possible.
The beam width for SERVER antenna is 60 degree to 120
degree.
There should be adequate separation between the DONOR
& SERVER antennas to avoid interference and noise.

Fault Shooting & Maintenance
9.1
In-building Coverage Problems
After the installation of R-20-930 unit, sometimes the actual coverage does
not conform to the plan, different possibilities are discussed below and
action is required to be taken accordingly.
i. Physical obstructions degrading the signal level – Visually inspect
the area of weak coverage. If possible, rearrange objects that may be
interfering with the signal path. Pay particular attention to large metallic
objects that may be reflecting or blocking the signal resulting in weak
coverage area. If weak coverage area still persists, check the following:
a. Inspect the indoor RF coaxial cable and its connection with
connector
b. Indoor antenna direction and its tilting
c. R-20-930 repeater gain setting
ii. Defective indoor coaxial cable or antenna – Check the RF coaxial
cable and antenna. If necessary, replace each individually with a known
functional unit, and verify the respective signal level. This can be
achieved by observing the signal strength indicator on a mobile handset
that has an unobstructed line-of-sight view, 15 – 20 feet from the indoor
antenna. If the signal level increases at this test location, re-verify the
signal level in the weak coverage area. If the signal level remains
marginal, inspect the unit.
iii. R-20-930 Defective – Replace the unit with a known operational unit.
Verify the signal level at the unobstructed test location. If the signal level
increases, re-verify the weak coverage area. If the weak coverage area
remains marginal, an additional indoor antenna or R-20-930 unit may be
required to cover the additional area. If the original R-20-930 is
defective, contact Technical customer support team at +91-1244311600 or email at ibs@shyamtelecom.in.
9.2
Signal Quality Problems
Under certain conditions, the signal level on the mobile handset may
indicate adequate signal strength, but the quality of the signal is degraded
(i.e. distortion). The signal level at the donor antenna is probably too
strong. Under these conditions, the service provider’s exterior signal level

is adequate, in such condition, reduce the forward path signal using the
forward attenuation in the repeater and minimize the forward signal level in
step of 1dB until the problem subsides.
But ensure that the In-Building signal level remains adequate for the
coverage area.
9.3
Antenna Isolation
Antenna isolation is defined by the path loss or attenuation, between the
donor and server antennas. It is important to ensure that the antennas are
sufficiently separated, such that the signals transmitted by donor antenna
are not intercepted by server antenna and vice versa. For optimal
performance, the separation of the two antennas must provide a path loss
of at least 15 dB greater than the gain of the R-20-930 unit.
In most cases, isolation will be achieved by properly locating the donor
and server antennas, respectively. The optimal location for the donor
antenna is high above the roofline, and exterior to the building. The indoor
coverage antenna (server) should be installed inside, near or below the
ceiling. Following guidelines should ensure adequate isolation between
antennas.
I) Installation of the donor and server antennas near windows is to be
avoided from where signals can easily pass through the glass resulting
in poor isolation.
II) Mount the donor antenna as high as physically possible to the exterior
of the building, maximizing the vertical separation between the donor
and server antennas. The donor antenna should point towards the
base station site.
III) Install the antennas taking advantage of any existing building structure
such as brick walls, metal roofs, or multiple wall structures to provide
additional attenuation in the possible link path between them.
IV) Whenever using directional antennas inside the building to provide
coverage in the corridors and hallways, point the indoor antenna away
from the donor antenna location.
V) In extreme cases, the building configuration may not allow for such
separation and isolation. If additional isolation is required, coaxial
attenuator may be inserted between the donor antenna and the
repeater or reduce the forward path signal using the attenuator.

Trouble shooting
During post installation or subsequent period, some of the peculiar
situation may be observed, some of them are discussed below:
Conditions
Possible Reasons & Solutions
LED, s do not glow
after the Repeater is
switched ON.
1 Check the power adaptor and the AC power socket.
2 Please note that the AC mains has to be within the
range 100 to 240V.
3 Check for the DC voltage of adaptor.
Signals are not
amplified after
completing the
installation
The system
performed well in the
beginning but after
few days the
performance has
degraded.
1.
Check the AC power cord and make sure the
power switch is ON.
2.
Check all the connectors of the repeater system
for proper connections. The “BTS” connector has
to be connected to donor antenna, and the “MS”
connector has to be connected to server antenna.
3.
The poor isolation between donor and server
antenna will cause system oscillation and it may
damage the amplifier of the repeater. It is to note
that the repeater gain should be at least 15 dB
lower than the antenna isolation.
1.
The received signal level from the base station
might have degraded due to environmental
changes such as new building construction and so
on. If so:
a. Try to re-align the donor antenna towards the
base station
b. Adjust the gain attenuation of Down link
direction
c. Relocate the donor antenna to solve the
problem
d. RF Cable problem: Check the RF cable for
physical damage by rats etc. Also check for
sharp bands or RF cable pressed. Under
these conditions, RF signal losses could have
increased. If so, replace RF cable.
e. Indoor structural change: The signal level
will vary according to the interiors. Look for
any interior changes subsequent to the
repeater installation or site survey. If so, adjust
the gain of repeater or re-align the server
antenna without affecting the existing
coverage.
