INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-7W22-B ENU STATUS : 1-0-0 Copyright - refer to title page Page 11 2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION 2.1 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 2: PS BDA Functional Block Diagram In the downlink path, the BTS signals are received by the donor antenna of the repeater. After the duplexer, the signals are sent to the LNA module for pre-amplification and to the digital RF integrated module for digital filtering and frequency conversion. Then the DL signals will be sent to the downlink PA to amplify power, and filter via the duplexer. After amplification, the signals are transmitted at the MT port to the service antenna. In the uplink path, the mobile signals are received by the service antenna. After the MT port integrated duplexer, the signals are sent to the LNA, integrated module for digital filtering, then to the PA for power amplification and to the duplexer. After that, the uplink signals are sent to the donor antenna for transmission back to the BTS.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-7W22-B ENU STATUS : 1-0-0 Copyright - refer to title page Page 13 2.3 EQUIPMENT CONSTITUTION The typical PS BDA unit consists of the following components: Power Amplifier (PA): It provides power amplification for both the UL and DL branches. Main Control Unit (MCU): The MCU is used to monitor and control the operation of the repeater. It also provides the communication interface for remote control and status indication. LED indicators provide the operation status of the MCU. Duplexer: The DPX is located near the MT and DT terminals and permits the uplink and downlink signals to share a common antenna. Digital Integrated Module and Power Amplifier: Consists of the Power Conversion module, RF module, digital process module and monitoring modules. The Power Conversion module converts +28V DC voltage into +9VJK and +9VRF. +9VJK, +9VRF are supplied to the monitoring unit, and the RF unit in the integrated module separately. The RF module amplifies and converts the RF signal to IF signal. The Digital process module converts the IF signal into baseband signal via AD conversion and extraction, and filtering. After that, the IF signal will be amplified and converted to an RF signal by the RF module for RF filtering and amplification. The Monitoring module monitors and controls the system parameters and is the interface for both remote monitoring and local commissioning. Power Supply Unit (PSU): The PSU converts the input voltage into a stable DC supply to provide power for the internal functional modules.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-7W22-B ENU STATUS : 1-0-0 Copyright - refer to title page Page 15 3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.2.1 SITE PLANNING Site Considerations Outdoor equipment are designed to be waterproof, rainproof, and with snow protection. Temporary protection should be taken when the equipment enclosure is opened for installation or maintenance in an outdoor environment. The equipment must not be opened for installation or maintenance in bad weather (e.g. gale, storm rainfall, extreme temperatures and high humidity) Installation Location Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment. In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize interference from electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment. Environmental Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the equipment in locations having stable temperature and unrestricted air-flow. The installation location for the product should be well ventilated. The equipment has been designed to operate at the temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications in the datasheet. Direct sun light exposure to the equipment should be avoided. Provide additional shelter if necessary. Power Supply The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the product variant, it is recommended that the PSU be operated on a dedicated circuit breaker or fused circuit. Grounding Requirement Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes antennas and all cables connected to the system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded. Cable Routing Depending on equipment configuration, a variety of types of cables are required. Where applicable, ensure cables are properly routed and secured so that they are not damaged. Manual Handling During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical injury to the installation personnel and the equipment.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-7W22-B ENU STATUS : 1-0-0 Copyright - refer to title page Page 16 3.2.2 INSTALLATION CHECKLIST  Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement. Ensure unrestricted airflow.  Ensure earth ground point is within reach of the ground wire.  Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient capacity.  Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.  Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic interference.  Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.  Ensure VSWR of antennas system < 1.5:1.  Ensure equipment will be operated within the stated environment (see datasheet)  Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage.  Donor antenna should have a narrow beamwidth and positioned in line-of-sight (LOS) to the donor BTS site so that the donor signal level is maximized. This allows the use of minimum gain to achieve the maximum DL output power. The UL gain is typically set lower than or equal to the DL gain to minimize noise interference to the donor BTS  Service antennas should be selected based on the type of service area, e.g., indoor antenna for indoor application, and panel antenna for outdoor application.

Users need to manually reset the PA in WEBOMT after fixing the alarm. Go to Management -> Device Reset: Click the Reset button at the lower table to reset DL PA for 800MHz or 700MHz Figure 44: Reset PA Power detection:  The power detection can be done from the reading number in WEBOMT, available in:  Downlink input power (per channel)  Downlink output power (composite)  Uplink input power (per channel)  Or from the test ports for DT/MT, which are 22dB lower than the DT/MT port respectively, the test ports are able to detect both DL and UL signals Isolation: The system doesn’t allow users to set a gain higher than isolation-20dB. The PS BDA has a mandatory process to check the isolation during commissioning, when isolation is not good (lower than 110dB, even though the PS BDA passes the commissioning process), a check on isolation (between donor and service antennas) is always recommended. The maximum system gain that can be set must be 20dB lower than the isolation. (For example, if the isolation is 110dB, then the maximum gain that can be set is 90dB.) The PS BDA has an automatic process that prevents the gain being set to a value that does not follow this parameter. If this gain is insufficient, then the isolation situation must be corrected to provide a higher isolation value.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-7W22-B ENU STATUS : 1-0-0 Copyright - refer to title page Page 50 Safety operation to protect the LNA (low noise amplifier): 1. Connect RF cables before powering on. 2. Any changes or handling of the RF connection requires user to switch off RF power (RF switch off in WEBOMT) or power off the unit first.
