2.1 SN-8132 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Figure 2: SN-8132 Functional Block Diagram

In the downlink, coupling signals from the BTS are divided and amplified through integrated module (DT
Terminal), the signal is sent to the duplexer then to DL LNA. After frequency shifting, the signal is transferred
to DL PA for power amplification. After the duplexer, the signal is sent to mobile antenna for signal coverage.
In the uplink, the mobile signals are received by the service antenna. After the integrated module, the
signals are sent to the UL duplexer before sending to UL LNA. After frequency shifting, the signal is
transferred to UL PA for power amplification. After the duplexer, the uplink signals are sent to the donor
antenna for transmission back to the BTS.

3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

Site Considerations
Outdoor equipments 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.
Powering
The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the product
variant, it is recommended that the PSU operates 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.
ENU STATUS : 1-0-0
Page 11
3.2.1 INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement. Ensure
unrestricted airflow.
Ensure earthing 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 equipment will be operated within the stated environment.
Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage.
Donor antenna should have a narrow beam width and positioned in line-of-sight (LOS) to 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 antenna should be selected based on the type of service area, e.g., indoor antenna for indoor
application, and panel antenna for outdoor application.

4.4 AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL

The unit has an Automatic Level Control (ALC) that maintains the output power and linearity, it has a fixed
dynamic range and it operates as follows:
Input + Gain ALC Maximum Output Power
If the input power level reaches -25dBm (2dB) the status LED will change to yellow to indicate the input
level is too high for the unit to maintain the linearity.
If the input power reaches -15dBm (2dB), the status LED will turn to red and the device will shutdown the
RF operation automatically.
The device will automatically recover the RF operation when the input power level is reduced back to <
-20dBm. The detailed logic is shown in the diagram below.

Therefore, in the case that if the unit indicates the yellow / red status, one should
1. Check if the donor and services antenna has sufficient isolation (Isolation Gain + 10dB)
2. Check if the donor antenna is locating too close to the signal source
3. Relocate the antenna or reduce the system gain
