• Key differences
• Implementation considerations
• Antenna Choice
• Motorola Specific features
• A little physics
– Diffraction loss and Penetration loss higher in 1800 MHz band
– 6dB minimal theoretical difference (see: Frii’s transmission formula)
• Path loss difference - on-street
– Path loss at 1800MHz is typically 6 - 12 dB higher
– Most probable difference in urban environment: 8 dB
– Difference is nearly distance-independent (fixed), in typical urban
cells ( i.e. constant offset in “ loss per length unit ” )
– Actual difference depends on site configuration like antenna height
and antenna characteristics
– Cell radius at 1800 MHz typically 50% less compared to 900 MHz
6 - 8 dB

Uplink Rx Quality
• Preferred antennas:
– 65 ° sector antennas
– Small vertical beamwidth <7°
– High front-to-back ratio >30 dB
– Maximum gain
– Low upper sidelobe (high sidelobe suppression) typ. -20 dB maximum
– Dual-polarisation (slant +45°/45°, isolation >30 dB)
– Electrical downtilt <10°

Optimisation process:
• Comparing predictions of appropriate GSM900 and GSM1800 cells
for in-building coverage level
(e.g. -68 dBm at 900Mhz / -61 dBm at 1800MHz)
•Site configuration
• maximum 2 air combined carriers at 1800
• maximum 4 carriers at 900, one or two combining stages
• higher ERP at 1800
•Antenna solution
• separated cross polarised antennae
• 1800 antennae mounted higher than 900 antennae,
spacing between antennae approx. 1m
•Feeders
• separated feeders (7/8” - 1 5/8”) to reduce attenuation of 1800
signal

• Multi-band operation
– Taking advantage of wide spectrum
– Taking advantage of wide separation of frequency bands
• Wide spectrum
– Frequency hopping is more effective
– High call quality and simplified planning
– Robust frequency reuse plan can be used for difficult terrain
• Wide separation
– Ease of multi layer-frequency planning for microcellular or ‘hot
spot’ solutions
