TELCOSAT RPT 900 CHAPTER 1 SCOPE 1.1 GENERAL The TELCOSAT RPT 900 Cellular Repeater (consisting of UPLINK and DOWNLINK bidirectional system) contains operational and maintenance information. This manual consists of four chapters and two appendices as follows: • Chapter 1 outlines the manual contents, with description and general application notes • Chapter 2 contains an operational overview and tune-up procedures (single and multi carrier). • Chapter 3 contains installation procedures, packing and shipping instructions. • Chapter 4 contains the repeater warranty information • Appendix A contains unit specifications and environmental data. • Appendix B contains the return goods procedure. 1.2 INTRODUCTION The TELCOSAT RPT 900 is a bidirectional system consisting of UPLINK and a DOWNLINK modules used in locations requiring coverage, where conventional communication systems cannot reach, such as buildings, parking structures, tunnels and remote areas. The TELCOSAT RPT 900 is designed to provide coverage by using reliable, high intercept components. Adjustable RF Gain is provided in each direction of communication (donor to portable and portable to donor) to compensate for attenuation losses of over air links. Throughout this manual, the terms DOWNLINK and UPLINK are used. Downlink is the direction of RF energy from the Base Station Donor to the Mobile or Portable Subscriber. Uplink is the path direction from the Mobile or Portable Subscriber to the Base Station Donor. 1.2.1 Materials The materials supplied with the Repeater are the Up and Downlink modules, amplifiers, power supplies user manual. 1.2.2 Applications The RPT 900 cellular repeater can be used as part of a complete in building package or as a stand-alone Cell extender in remote areas. Planning details for a complete in-building system are not included in this document. Document use is restricted to that described on cover 6

TELCOSAT RPT 900 CHAPTER 2 OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 2.1 GENERAL The TELCOSAT RPT 900 provides service at cellular radio frequencies. The operational overview is presented in Fig 1-1 Downlink RF signals from a donor cell site are routed through a pick-up antenna, through a Diplexer then continues to be process by the amplifier chain. The RF is amplified for path and cable losses and filtered to reject out-of-band IM products and unwanted radio signals. The downlink RF is injected into a fill-in antenna (coverage antenna) for null-area coverage. The Up-link signals from mobile units are received into the coverage antenna of the repeater. The incoming signal then passes through a Diplexer, then amplified in the Up-link modules and finally the power amplifier. The Up-link process is the same as the Down-Link process. 2.2 REPEATER MODULES The Up-link RF path are isolated from the Down-link RF path by utilizing Cavity Band Pass Diplexers and Saw Band-pass filters (BPF) that provide out-of-band rejection. Figure 2-1 illustrated a simplified block diagram of the RPT 900 Cellular Repeater. Document use is restricted to that described on cover 8
TELCOSAT RPT 900 Figure 2 2.3 Detailed Technical RF Signal Processes A YAGI antenna with a certain directional gain provides the donor signal from the cell site, feeds the band pass diplexer, and the downlink pre-amplifier which has low noise and a high intercept point with a Gain of 20 dB. The Rx signal then passes through a UHF SAW filter and is then down converted to a 70 MHz IF frequency filtered by a 25 MHz wide SAW filter. The 18 dB of attenuation introduced by the SAW filter is compensated for, by a 40 dB gain (linear in dB) VGA with AGC detector, chip amplifier. The IF signal gain is controlled further more by digitally controlled attenuators for a total of 50 dB in 2 dB steps (See Figure 1-1). The following converter section converts the IF signal frequency-true back up to the original Rx frequency and adds additional 50 dB of gain with an IP3 of + 26 dBm. This section will provide a + 2 dBm maximum average output power (with CDMA modulation). A +30 dBm Power Amplifier (PA) module follows to attain the targeted output power. The module is using LDMOS RF amplifier mmic developed for ultra linear CDMA Multi-Carrier applications. The third order intercept of this module is +50dBm typical. Document use is restricted to that described on cover 9Two modules, one for the uplink and one for the downlink paths of the repeater are employed. They are electronically identical and their gain can be adjusted individually.
TELCOSAT RPT 900 The repeater is set internally to a fixed 45dB of gain, plus another 50dB of adjustable gain is available via the manual attenuator switches to make a combined total of 95dB overall gain. The Up-Link and the Down-Link each have 95dB of gain. Bar-graph Led’s in the up and down Link Modules are available for RSSI measurements for easy set up of repeater sites. 2.4 AC POWER DISTRIBUTION AC input power is through a power cord then a 2-pole on/off circuit breaker switch which feeds two DIN rail mounted fuse holders with cartridge fuses rated at 1 AMP and 2 AMPS. The fuses are replaceable and each DIN rail fuse holder holds a spare fuse. AC power from the DIN rail fuse holders feed two DIN rail switching power supply units. The power supply units are adjustable to operate on either 120 VAC or 230VAC. (Customer to notify Telcosat Inc with AC power requirement prior to shipping) The internal power supply units convert AC line voltage to DC power, one power supply unit supplies 10volts DC and the other power supply unit provides 28volts DC. The DC power provides all the necessary requirements for the active components. CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION Any modifications to this device will void FCC and IC approvals. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION DETAILED SET UP INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR RPT900 CELLULAR REPEATER. WARNING DO NOT POWER UP THE REPEATER WITH OUT THE ANTENNAS CONNECTED 3.1 WARNING Cellular Repeaters should be installed by fully trained technicians. Improper installation and excessive RF power levels can cause interference with the operation of cellular towers. Document use is restricted to that described on cover 10Antennas must be mounted in a secure safe manner and according to safe working practices. Lightning protection should be installed on every cellular repeater unit.
TELCOSAT RPT 900 Antennas must not be installed near overhead electrical power lines as this can cause serious injury and or death. If you require any additional installation guidelines then please consult your supplier or consult with an RF Systems Engineer. 3.2 TOOLS REQUIRED Spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator, frequency ranges 1 Gigahertz. Optional Signal Generator for onsite testing of the repeater, frequency range of 4 Gigahertz. Hand held cable fault locator (TDR) Multi-meter Hand tools. Water proofing tape. Coax cable straps for support. Cellular Phone. 3.3 ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS ANTENNAS: please read your manufacturers antenna specifications before installation. Your antenna will require a type “N” connection. The antenna, coax, and fittings must be 50 ohms impedance. The cellular repeater requires antennas that operate in the desired frequency range of the cellular repeater. The RPT900 Repeater has a frequency operating range of 824 to 849 Megahertz for the up link, and 869 to 894 Megahertz for the downlink. Your antennas must operate within these frequencies. Failure to select the proper antennas will greatly degrade the performance of your repeater. NOTE: “UP-LINK” is the radio link from your hand held cellular phone to the cellular tower in the frequency range of 824 to 849 Megahertz “DOWN-LINK” is the radio link from the cellular tower to your cellular phone in the frequency range of 869 to 894 Megahertz. The repeater requires two antennas to be connected to the system. See image showing coax connectors on the bottom of the repeater enclosure. The Donor antenna is the antenna pointing to the Cellular Tower and the Area Fill antenna is the antenna that provides the fill signal to your desired area. Document use is restricted to that described on cover 11
TELCOSAT RPT 900 3.4 ANTENNA ISOLATION & COAX CABLES All repeaters require antenna isolation to prevent oscillation. The usable gain level of your repeater is directly linked to the antenna isolation values. The maximum gain of your repeater must be adjusted to 10 to15dBm lower than your antenna isolation values. For example, if your antenna isolation value is 75dBm then your maximum usable repeater gain is 60dBm. Due to the variations of system layouts and requirements it is not possible to have one procedure that will suffice every installation. You are strongly advised to acquire the services of an RF system designer to calculate your antenna isolation requirements. Ensure that your antennas are at the maximum possible distance apart. Do not place antennas in close proximity to each other. Coax cables should be low loss 50 ohm, and suitable for 800 megahertz band frequency. Antenna connections should be clean and moisture free. Do not spray lubricant into the connectors as this prevents the signal traveling through the coax. Use a cleaning solvent that has no oil and does not leave any residue. High quality oil-less contact cleaner is suitable. All coax connectors must be water tight and wrapped with water proof tape. Any moisture in the connectors will degrade or eliminate the signals. PREPARING YOUR CELLULAR REPEATER Document use is restricted to that described on cover 12Figure 3
TELCOSAT RPT 900 3.5 Installing your Repeater The Telcosat Repeater weighs in excess of 40 pounds (20 Kilograms) Make sure that your repeater is securely bolted to a suitable support. There are four welded steel tabs on each corner that must be used to bolt your unit onto a suitable support system. You must use ¼” diameter grade five steel corrosion resistant bolts with lock washers and securing nuts, a total of 4 bolts and nuts/lock washers are required. Bottom of enclosure showing antenna connections Figure 4 Only when you have safely connected and installed your antennas and coax then proceed to the next step. DO NOT CONNECT TO THE POWER SUPPLY. Document use is restricted to that described on cover 13
TELCOSAT RPT 900 3.6 POWER AND ANTTENUATION SWITCH SETTINGS Open the door on the Repeater and you will see two modules with a row of switches on each Module The left side Module marked Donor, controls the power level that transmit back to the cellular tower. The right side box marked Area Fill controls the power levels to your area fill. The rows of switches have numbers engraved below each switch and above the switches the word Attenuate are also engraved into the box. When the switches are in the up position towards the word Attenuate this means the signal levels are reduced. (Attenuate means to reduce the signal level). When you want to increase power you toggle the switch down, to decrease power you toggle the switch up. The numbers below the switches are calibrated in dBm. For instance, the switch numbered 20 means that if the switch is towards the attenuate side (toggled up) then the signal is reduced by 20 dBm. If the same switch is toggled down then the transmit power is increased by 20dBm. 3.7 RSSI METER AND SIGNAL LEVELS Your Repeater is fitted with a RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indicator) Your RSSI indicator is located just above your row of attenuator switches and is displayed as green Led’s. The right hand side RSSI window is your receive signal from the cellular tower. (Area Fill) The left hand side RSSI window is your receive signal from mobile cellular phones. (NOTE: THE RSSI INDICATOR DISPLAYS RECEIVE SIGNAL STRENGTH ONLY. THEY DO NOT DISPLAY TRANSMIT POWER.) The RSSI indicator has a dynamic range of -80 dBm to – 65dBm. The green Led’s display will start to illuminate when a signal strength of -80dBm or greater is received. When aligning your antenna to the cellular tower the RSSI meter must be monitored during setup. When you rotate your antenna you will see the RSSI indicator increase and decrease as you pass the signal with your antenna. This RSSI window on the Area Fill side (Right Side Module) should not have all the green Led’s displayed. If the Led’s are 100% green then this indicates that you have too much receive signal from the cellular tower. The maximum required RSSI level is approximately 80% of the green illuminated Led display bars. 3.8 ALIGNING YOUR DONOR ANTENNA TO A CELLULAR TOWER It is very important not to have too much signal from the cellular tower on the “Area Fill” input signal. Full bars on the right hand side green LED RSSI display indicate possible signal excess. Document use is restricted to that described on cover 14
TELCOSAT RPT 900 Rotate your antenna until you pick up a cellular signal from a Cell tower. If the signal strength is greater than -80dBm then the LED window on the Donor side will start to illuminate. Adjust the antenna until the received signal is peaked. Check to see that the green Led display is not more than about 80% illuminated. If you have 100% solid green lights on the right side display window then you must reduce the receive signal level. You can reduce the received signal level two ways. 1) Replace your Donor antenna with a lesser gain antenna. 2) If your system design will permit, slightly rotate the antenna away from the maximum signal until the RSSI window reads about 80% of maximum display level. After adjusting the receive signal levels from the Cellular Tower we now adjust the power levels for the area fill. (Down-Link Signal) For the next step you can use your cellular phone signal level indicator or preferably a spectrum analyzer. Toggle down the area fill switches in 2dBm steps until the desired power levels have been obtained. 3.9 ADJUSTING UP-LINK TRANSMIT POWER TO CELLULAR TOWER It is important to only use the minimum required power level for the Up-Link transmit power. The required power level can be provided from a RF Systems Engineer or appropriate RF Path Loss computer software. CONNECT A SPECTRUM ANALYZER OR AN RF POWER METER TO MEASURE MAXIMUM TRANSMIT POWER FOR THE UPLINK AND DOWN LINK CARRIER. Maximum permissible RF transmit power is 3OdBm for a single carrier and 26.5 dBm for two carriers. Make a test call while the repeater is adjusted to the minimum gain on the Uplink Frequency (824/849 MHz) When making the test call on your cellular phone you must be a minimum of 30 metres (100ft) from the area fill antenna. If you cannot complete the call increase power in 2 dBm increments. Make a test call after every adjustment. NOTE: YOUR REPEATER HAS THE CAPABILITY TO BOOST SIGNALS FROM AS LOW AS -104dBm. THIS IS BELOW THE RANGE OF YOUR RSSI INDICATOR. USE A SPECTRUM ANALYZER TO LOCATE YOUR SIGNAL Document use is restricted to that described on cover 15
TELCOSAT RPT 900 If you find that you cannot detect any cellular signals using the RSSI indicator then you must use an alternative method to locate the signal. If you fail to locate a signal then you have the following possibilities. 1) There is no cellular service. 2) Faulty coax, connectors or antenna. 3) Insufficient antenna separation, (vertical separation/ horizontal separation) 4) Aimed to a competitor’s cell tower which does not service your cellular phone. This may show full power on your cellular phone but will not connect to the service. FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE INSTALLING YOUR REPEATER PLEASE CONTACT: Telcosat Inc, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
