1 INTRODUCTON TO REPEATER
A repeater, in concept is a device that receives a signal, filters and retransmits the amplified version of the signal. This is simultaneously done for both up and downlink frequencies. Repeater systems are typically located in places of high elevation (on mountains and tall buildings) and are equipped with highly directional donor antennas and service antennas appropriately selected for the application, low loss feedlines, and a very reliable transmitter and receiver rated for continuous duty. Repeaters allow signal coverage to be extended into areas previously not covered without the need to add additional BTS infrastructure. Repeaters are used in Commercial Communications, Emergency Communications. Repeaters may have multiple powering options, including batteries for when commercial power is lost. Repeaters can be built that may run exclusively from batteries; recharged by solar or renewable energies.
1.1 REPEATER APPLICATION

A repeater works as a bi-directional amplifier to enhance the signal between mobiles and base stations, in uplink and downlink direction. Used for an area with poor coverage in outdoor and indoor environment, or for coverage enhancements in areas blocked by obstacles. Uses a pick up (donor) antenna to receive and amplify the radio signal from a donor cell, and then retransmits from an antenna mounted near the area to be covered. AGC limits intermodulation to a fixed level during overload. Complete local monitor function and powerful remote repeater network administration (OMC). Typical applications include Indoor: conference centre, shopping mall, office building. Radio shadow areas: underground car parks, tunnels, valleys. Coverage extension: motorways, remote villages.
Figure 1: Typical Repeater Setup
Page 12
Using a repeater can achieve the following benefits: Fast rollout and fast coverage leads to fast return on investment Low build out costs For GSM network, no planning of BSS parameter No microwave link and No 2 Mbit- connection needed Less antennas and cable usage, and much lighter steel hardware A strong tower is not required. Easy to locate site for installation & coverage Expands coverage areas in: rural, tunnels, in-building, canyons and highways Platform for subscriber growth AVS repeater types include: Broadband repeater Band-selective repeater Channel-selective repeater Fiber-optic repeater Frequency-shifting repeater In this manual we will focus on AVS BSR 933 C band selective repeater.
1.2 BAND SELECTIVE REPEATERS

Band selective repeaters amplify and retransmit all signals within a defined frequency band and are mainly used for coverage of dead zones, shadows, in-building coverage or other areas with inadequate signal strength. The band selective repeater is very suitable for applications where frequency hopping is used in the BTS network employing Time Division Multiple Access.
Figure 2: Band Selective Repeater
Page 13
1.3 CHANNEL SELECTIVE REPEATERS

Channel selective repeaters have the same functionality as band selective repeaters. The difference is that channel selective repeaters separate out specific carriers and amplify and retransmit all signals within a defined frequency channel. In a channel selective repeater each carrier is separately filtered, amplified and retransmitted. A channel selective repeater from AVS can have 1 to 8 channels. Channel selective repeaters may have higher output power per carrier and the maximum output power per carrier can be several watts.

1.4 AVS BSR 933 C REPEATER INTRODUCTION

The AVS BSR 933 C dual band selective repeater is designed for outdoor operation in the GSM900 system. A band-specific linear amplifier and filter effectively amplifies the desired BTS carriers and provides superior out-of-band rejection. Typical units incorporate up to 15MHz adjustable bandwidth with frequencies programmed to specific requirements within the whole of the GSM900 band. Dual band selectivity is implemented with two band selective filters per UL/DL. Remote configuration and surveillance is possible through AVSs remote control and monitoring system, via laptop or wireless modem to the OMC. Li-ion backup battery built in enclosure ensures alarm signals are sent out while power is down, and optional external battery backup ensures operation in a condition with insufficient power supply or unstable supply voltages. The AVS BSR 933 C comes in a completely sealed, well-ventilated cast aluminum chassis, suitable for all weather conditions. Main features of AVS BSR 933 C: Band selectivity from two band-selective modules with user-defined bandwidth. Output power can be easily adjusted via repeater PC software (hereinafter called RPS) software to satisfy the requirement of network optimization. Integrated GSM radio modem for remote configuration, monitor and control. Automatic elimination for self-oscillation caused by a low isolation between DT and MT antennas. Internal backup battery keeps the alarm unit running for up to three hours after power loss. Optional OMC is available for remote operation and maintenance of repeaters. Designed for all weather outdoor waterproof, damp-proof and omni-sealed (IP65).

2.4.4 MAIN CONTROL UNIT (MCU)

The main control unit (MCU) is the heart of the equipment, it monitors and controls the modules within the repeater. Data is collected from various modules such as PA, LNA and Power Supply utilizing a RS-485 bus. The collected data is processed and if an error is detected the MCU may send an alarm via Datalink or SMS using a built in wireless GSM modem to the Operation and Maintenance Center (OMC). MCU is constructed on a multi-layered PCB and is a plug-in board to the Interface board. Main components are: Motorola 68HC711 processor, non-volatile memory, communication processor, temperature sensor, LEDs and a small push-button switch. This switch is used to reset the equipment when equipment initialization fails, or non-normal operation happens, or when the equipment is re-connected to the RPS after powered off due to some reason. On the MCU there are four LEDs (L1~L4) on which displays the respective operation status. Their functions are described in a separate section.

The switch on the PSU is provided for convenience, and the 220VAC should be controlled at its outlet. With the equipment under operation, the switch on the PSU should be in the ON position at all times. Once the AC to the PSU removed, the backup Li-ion battery supplies power to the MCU and ensures alarm signals to be sent to the OMC via the RPS software or wireless modem. A customer replaceable fuse protects the AVS BSR 933 C against over current. The fuse holder is identified on the panel of the PSU. Supplied with the equipment are two spare 6.3A delay fuses for the PSU, the PSU is not a customer-repairable item, and should be returned for repair. When replacement of the PSU is necessary, in order to remove the PSU, remove all electrical connections to the PSU, unscrew four screws on each corner of the top mounting surface, which secure the PSU onto the chassis. The mounting surface of the replacement PSU should be coated with a layer of heat transfer compound before it is mounted. After the PSU mounted to the chassis, reconnect all electrical connections.

2.4.11 GSM MODEM

A GSM wireless modem is mounted adjacent to the MCU, it has connection for RF, data and power. It is used for remote control and the MCU sends out alarms to the repeater OMC via the GSM modem. Required power voltage for GSM modem is +12 V. Power to the GSM modem is provided from the PSU via cabled connection from the Interface Board, and is protected with an in-line fuse. This gives the User the option to disconnect the modem power supply and forcing the modem to be restarted. RF connection is made with SMA connecting cable between the modem and the 20dB coupling port. On the GSM modem there is an indicator LED to show the modem status. The modem LED flashes slowly when operation is normal. When a data call is performed it will flash quickly. When SMS is sent, it flashes a little quicker than when operation is normal but slower than when a data call is ongoing.

3.1 WARNINGS AND ALERTS
Radio Frequency energies There may be situations, particularly the workplace environments adjacent to high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy. Assume that other RF energies exist in the vicinity, always maintain a minimum distance of 1m from the human beings (assumption 935 MHz at 40W emitted power, source IEEE) High voltage The equipment has been designed and constructed as to prevent as far as reasonably practicable danger. Any activity, such as installation, operation and maintenance, on or near the equipment must be as far as reasonably free from danger. Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems due to adverse weather, extreme temperatures, wet, corrosive or dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmosphere, then the system must be suitably installed to avoid such a danger. To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment and to the customer, shut down the equipment and take action to isolate mains supply when performing any intrusive actions. Protective Earthing Equipment must be well grounded for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk. Handling Precautions Precautions should be taken in equipment handling activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving or holding, or the activities to prevent an object, animal or other aspects going into the chassis, or the activities when extra efforts are needed such as pulling a lever, or operating power tools. ESD Take necessary precautions when handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic devices are ESD-sensitive. Do use a grounded wriststrap or the like while working with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store, and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-free environments.
Page 34
3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

Site considerations The repeater is designed to be waterproof, rainproof, and with snow protection. Temporary protection should be taken when the equipment chassis 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 suitable to support weight of the equipment: for AVS BSR 933 C, this is about 37 kg (82 lb.). Environmental Humidity has an effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the equipment in location having stable temperature and un-restricted air-flow. AVS BSR 933 C equipment has been designed to operate in the ambient air temperature range of -25C to +55C (-13F to 131F) at 95% relative humidity. Should the direct day light temperature exceeds +55C (131F), then barrier device should be installed in to protect the equipment to limit sunlight exposure. Powering The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the chassis. The PSU accepts 155~285VAC/50Hz5Hz. It is recommended that the PSU operate on a dedicated AC circuit breaker or fused circuit. In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, select the AVS BSR 933 C mounting location to minimize interference from electromagnetic sources such as high powered equipment. Grounding requirement Verify the equipment has been well grounded, this includes antennas and all cables connected. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded. Cable routing Four cables entries to the equipment: Two co-axial (connection for MT and DT), one 220VAC mains-power cable and 1x RS-232 commission cable during commissioning with the door open. Manual handling During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical injury to the installation personnel or damages to the equipment. (Reference 0.6.2)

Uplink Path: The received power at BTS receiver (PBTS-receive) should satisfy the following formula: PBTS-receive =Pmobile +Grep-UL Lrep-donor feeder +Grep-donor ant (PBTS LBTS-feeder +GBTS-ant Prep-receive) RBTS 33 120 +Grep-UL 2 +15 [40 3 +15 (65)] 109 Therefore Grep-UL id determined as 82dB Thus the uplink master ATT should be: Grep-ULmax Grep-UL =90 82 = 8dB Note: Grep-UL is the actual uplink Gain after the repeater installed. NFTotalNFBTS10LOG1+10NFrep-ULNFBTS+Grep-UL- LBTS-REP/10= 5dB +1.19dB = 6.19dB Assuming that repeater noise power at MT port equals to 120dBm, then: Repeater noise power at BTS receiver should be: NFBTS = 120dBm + 82dB 105dB +6.19dB = 136.81dBm The total BTS thermal noise should be: 121dBm + (136.81dBm) = 120.8dBm From the results we can see the BTS thermal noise has increased by only 0.2dBm after the insertion of a repeater.

Earthing point/Safety ground within 2m / 6.5 ft. Antenna: Antenna installation is covered by their respective manuals. Take normal precautions when preparing and handling feeder cables to ensure they are not damaged.
Page 40
3.4.4 WALL MOUNTING DETAILS

Fix the mounting rack to a wall with four masonary bolts (M10100). If the mounting surface is not solid enough, insert two more masonary bolts to the upper mounting rack. Raise the chassis and position it over the mounting rack, hook the equipment chassis onto the mounting rack from the upper corners. To open the chassis door, first unlock and then using the allen key, remove four socket-head bolts on each corners of the door. Four bolts (M880) secure the chassis to the mounting rack, these are accessed from the rear rack. Close the chassis cover, tighten the socket-head bolts on four corners and lock the chassis door.
Figure 21: Mounting Rack Dimension
Page 41
Figure 22: Wall Mounting Overview
3.4.5 POLE MOUNTING DETAILS

The equipment can be mounted on customer-located poles of about 60~75mm in diameter. Insert and tighten the U bolts to secure the mounting frame onto the pole. The remainder of the installation are identical to wall-mounting.
Figure 23: Pole Mounting Overview
Page 42
3.4.6 DRIP-LOOP
AVS recommends that every horizontal cable entry to the equipment forms a 'U' before its entry to the equipment. Any accumulated water on the cable will drip down at the bottom of the loop and will not climb up to the equipment.
3.4.7 EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS

The equipment has been designed for all cable entries from the bottom of the chassis. The only exception is the RS232 connection where it is a temporary connection for equipment commissioning. Ground connection The chassis must be grounded securely. Connect a copper wire (resistance <2.5 ) to the grounding terminal on the equipment chassis, and connect the other end to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point). An internationally acceptable coloring code of the ground connection wire is green/yellow. Service voltage connection The repeater accepts single phase 220VAC 50Hz power. The recommended AC connection is rated at AC 220V, 10A and has three connections to include earth. This connection is labeled AC in. RF signal connection Connection to donor antenna and mobile antenna is below: Donor antenna cable DT port Mobile antenna cable MT port Li-ion battery connection The lithium-ion battery-pack provides back-up supply to the MCU board; an in-line connector close to the battery pack is disconnected before shipping. During installation, re-connect the in-line connector to ensure proper function of the MCU. RPS connection for commission and local management The cable (R-9122C/R-9122AC) is supplied with the equipment. It connects the serial port of the PC to the RS-232 port (DB9) on the interface board within the chassis. Although it is not necessary, it is still recommended to temporarily break the Li-ion battery connection before making the RPS connection. This minimizes the occurrence of transients causing potential damage to either the equipment or the PC.

4.8 COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES

System commission can commence after the monitoring system has initialized. (e.g. when MCU LED L4 is off and L3 begin to flash). The commission sequence and procedure is as follow: Commissioning Tasks Observation Verify RF uplink and Locate the DT coupler at the inside left side of chassis. Measure signal downlink power from the 20dB coupling port with the DPX at the DT port to verify downlink signals from BS. Locate the MT coupler at the right side of chassis. Measure signal from the 20dB coupling port within the DPX to verify uplink signals from mobile antenna or downlink signals retransmitted by the repeater. On-line & inquiry status Enter into RPS Main window. Initialization of monitoring system will be up in about 2 minutes, at that time, on MCU L4 is off and L3 begins to flash. Click online button and inquiry the repeaters status. Go to next step if there is no alarm. Else or, check the point of failure and handle the alarm. Set site ID and telephone number Set On/off Status / Click ON of power supply in the RPS main window and set high edge and operating band/ gain low edge of the repeaters operating frequency, uplink/downlink master ATT (user can set initial value to 20~30dB) and uplink/downlink assistant ATT (factory set value is 0dB, and it is not recommended to use assistant ATT). Set monitoring system parameters Test DL input power and Observe DL input power from Field (dBm). Align the direction of donor align donor antenna antenna till the DL input power reading is maximized. Set monitoring system parameters Measuring power for UL/DL output levels Test DL output power Set the DL ATT to the optimal level to avoid saturating the DL PA or to and adjust DL ATT level satisfy designing requirement. Test coverage area field Use test-handset to verify field intensity within the coverage area. If intensity and adjust needed, re-align the mobile antenna to achieve the coverage as per mobile antenna. customer requirement. Note 1: If during operation, the equipment gain could not be set to maximum or the output power is not high enough due to influence of donor antenna and mobile antenna isolation, the value of Is should be re-calculated. If the output power has been high enough and ALC is enables, then adjust gain for the downlink branch to achieve ALC to operate within 4~7 dB. Note 2: Output power may be variable due to TDMA technology employed in GSM devices. Take the maximum value when reading parameters. Verify uplink gain and Adjust uplink gain and carryout test-call. Set the uplink gain slightly lower ensure test-call is proper than downlink gain. Then carryout test call in the coverage area while and there are no adjusting uplink gain if required. Note: If the repeater locates near the BTS interfering BS and the test-call performance is poor, this may be due to uplink noise interfere the BTS. Customers can calculate whether the repeater uplink noise interfere the BTS according to the table in APPENDIX C. Verify again theres no unacceptable interference to BTS and Isolation meets the need after test-call. Table 12: Commissioning procedures

6 MAINTENANCE
The AVS BSR 933 C repeater offers trouble free operation and generally does not need maintenance. The equipment operation status can be observed remotely through OMC. Periodic inspection of the repeater equipment(s) is recommended, the recommended tasks includes: Inspect and record operation status and output power of the repeater from OMC or RPS. Verify the direction and position of antennas. Re-align if necessary. Make sure the cable gland and sealing on the RF cable connectors are not damaged. Verify lightning and grounding protection are in good condition. For MCU Li-ion back-up battery, verify its state. Deeply discharged battery shall be return to AVS for replacement. A simple procedure to check Li-ion battery: after operating for 24-hours, switch off AC power supply. Measure and if the voltage of Li-on battery drops below 16V within one hour, the Li-on battery has been over-discharged.
