Gain Calculation & Setting Example

Assume the Repeaters Input Power = -52dBm;
the Required Output Power = 33dBm
Isolation = 95dB
In this condition, DL Gain = Required Output Power Input Power = 85dB,
So it cannot meet equation: DL Gain Isolation - 15dB

Condition 1:

Adjust the service antenna to increase the isolation to be 100dB,Input power is the
same
DL Gain = Required Output Power Input Power = 85dB
This condition can meet the equation: DL Gain Isolation - 15dB
DL Gain = 85dB, UL Gain = DL Gain - 5dB = 80dB

Condition 2:

Change the donor antenna with higher gain to increase input power to -47dBm
DL Gain = Output Power - Input Power = 80dB
This condition can meet the equation: DL Gain Isolation - 15dB
DL Gain = 80dB, UL Gain = DL Gain - 5dB = 75dB

Condition 3:
Both Isolation and Input power cannot be increased.
DL Gain = Isolation - 15dB = 80dB UL Gain = DL Gain - 5dB = 75dB
Repeater Output Power = -52dBm + 80dB = 28dBm < 33dBm
