software can begin with Chapter 2. Installation Instructions.
The chapters of this manual are organized as follows:
Chapter 1. Overview
Includes a general product description, a functional description, technical specifications, and
ordering information.
Chapter 2. Installation Instructions
Includes instructions for the following topics: Repeater and antenna mounting; all necessary
wiring; antenna orientation, isolation, and output measurement; optimizing a coverage area.
Chapter 3. Mounting the Antennas
Includes instructions on installing, testing and aligning the antennas for the repeater site.
Chapter 4. Mounting the PES1900Gi NR
Defines the tasks you should complete to mount the repeater.
Chapter 5. Installing the Growth Cabinet
Includes the details about adding the second passband channel Growth Cabinet for larger
capacity applications.
Chapter 6. Functional Repeater Test
Includes the details on initial repeater tests and configurations prior to antenna connection.
Chapter 7. Connecting External Alarms
Includes instructions for wiring external alarms and controls. Provides recommended interface
circuits for common applications.
Chapter 8. Powering the PES1900Gi NR
Includes information for AC and DC wiring of the repeater and modem, as well as connecting
alarm and control wiring.
Chapter 9. Configuring the Repeater
Includes detailed information on how to configure the PES1900Gi repeater using RepeaterNet
Craft software.
Chapter 10. Final Testing and Optimization
Includes information about activating system power, assigning frequency, adjusting gain, and
other tasks you should complete to finish repeater installation.
Chapter 11. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Includes routine checks required to maintain performance and to address problems, return and
repair of the PES1900Gi NR, and the product warranty.

General Information
The Peninsula Engineering Solutions 1900 MHz Network Repeater, hereafter referred to as the
PES1900Gi NR (or the repeater), is a bi-directional, on-frequency, over-the-air RF repeater that
extends the coverage of PCS base stations. This repeater is appropriate for outdoor and indoor
applications including in-building coverage and distributed antenna systems. The PES1900Gi NR is
optimized for GSM networks.
The repeater receives signals from a Cell Site BTS/RBS and retransmits them to a mobile or portable
telephone; likewise, the repeater receives signals from a mobile or portable telephone and
retransmits them to the Cell Site BTS/RBS.
Repeaters significantly improve coverage in areas with weak signal reception or transmission. The
power amplifier ratings, the antenna system, and the donor cell channel configuration determine the
Effective Radiated Power (ERP) output of the installed repeater.
The PES1900Gi NR is designed for indoor or outdoor installation and can be either wall- or pole-
mounted. The unit’s compact cabinet simplifies installation, while it’s aesthetically acceptable design
allows it to be easily zoned in many locations.
The repeater only requires initialization of the gain and channel to be on the air. In addition, as a field-
replaceable unit, no component-level repair is necessary.
The assembly consists of a transceiver assembly, power amplifier assemblies, diplexers, power
supplies and microcontrollers. All assemblies are mounted on a heatsink and enclosed in a sealed,
aluminum, weather-tight cabinet.
During normal operation, the cabinet housing remains closed. Access to power and data
transmission connections is provided through the connection ports located on the bottom of the
repeater. Install repeaters and associated hardware in locations suitable for adequate reception of
signals from the Donor Cell Site and for effective retransmission of these signals to mobiles and
portables.
The Network Management System (NMS) version of the PES1900Gi NR is equipped with an optional
GSM modem, which is mounted on the interior of the cabinet front door. This modem operates with
RepeaterNet NMS for monitoring a network of repeaters. For more information, see RepeaterNet
Craft for the PES1900Gi NR.
In addition to the PES1900Gi NR assembly, Peninsula Engineering Solutions offers accessory
equipment: antennas, mounting hardware, coaxial cable, and BUPS (Back-up Power Systems).
Typical antennas include:
⇒Parabolic reflector
⇒Corner reflector
⇒Circular, linear, directional co-linear
⇒Cross or slant polarization
⇒Log periodic array
⇒Yagi
Antenna usage depends upon the intended coverage area and other project parameters.

Functional Description
The PES1900Gi NR uses an Intermediate Frequency (IF) filtering design to achieve a high degree of
selectivity. A common local oscillator is used for up- and down-conversion to prevent frequency
conversion error.
This repeater is frequency segment or block selective. A family of IF filter bandwidths are available to
support various multi-carrier GSM/GPRS/EDGE and WCDMA applications.
The RepeaterNet Craft software is the configuration management and alarm-monitoring interface for
the PES1900Gi NR. The Repeater has two COM (communication) ports for RepeaterNet
connections—a serial port for direct, laptop connections and a modem port for remote connections.
An ALC (Automatic Level Control) circuit protects the repeater’s LNA (Low-Noise Amplifier) from
potentially damagingly high input levels and prevents the generation of Intermodulation Distortion
(IMD) in the transmit power amplifier.
The signal processing flow through the repeater in the Forward direction (Donor Cell Site to Mobile) is
similar to the flow in the Reverse direction (Mobile to Donor Cell Site).
Signal flow is as follows:
1. The received signal from the Cell Site antenna enters the repeater by way of the cabinet-
mounted, Type N(f) connector and feeds to a diplexer filter.
2. The signal then is amplified by an LNA, and down-converted to an Intermediate Frequency (IF).
3. After being filtered by Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters, the output signal is up-converted and
precisely restored to the original radio frequency by using the same Local Oscillator (LO) as the
down-converter.
4. The transmit power amplifiers further amplifies the signal to achieve final transmit Radio
Frequency power levels.
5. The signal finally routes through the output diplexer to the mobile antenna. (The diplexers permit
use of common antennas for both transmit and receive signals while effectively separating the
receive band from the transmit band.)
Licensing
All owners of the PES1900Gi NR should consult with the appropriate local and national agencies for
information about licensing.
