Functional Description
1. The RF-7000E assembly is an RF through repeater designed for remote locations. Little
alignment is required, and the use of highly reliable components and minimum active circuitry
eliminates most subsequent maintenance. The repeater assembly consists of an equipment
mounting panel, contained in an aluminum, weatherproof, enclosure. If desired, the equipment
mounting panel may be mounted in an EIA 19-inch rack, or the complete assembly may be wall-
mounted. In most applications however, the complete assembly is pipe-frame or tower-mounted.
Front views of the repeater are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
2. In addition to the RF-7000E repeater assembly, Peninsula Engineering Solutions offers
accessory equipment consisting of antennas and mounting hardware, waveguide, and complete
site power supply systems. The recommended antennas are solid or high performance types
chosen per application.
Basic Repeater
3. The RF-7000E duplex repeater uses internally redundant amplifiers for transmission in each of
two directions. Each amplifier is powered by two separate battery supplies for added reliability.
Bandpass filters and circulators, which form a duplexer network, direct the received signals to the
amplifiers and combine the amplifier outputs with the received signals to a common antenna port
for transmission in each direction (see Figures 4 to 16). The repeater supports frequency division
duplex, FDD, radio link systems where separate frequencies are used in each direction.
4. The received signal from "A" antenna, identified as frequency "f1", enters the repeater panel via
the cabinet mounted CPR112G, waveguide flange and is then fed to a RX-TX branching
circulator. Then from the channel branching circulator, the f1 signal is passed to the f1 receive
bandpass filter. The bandpass filter passes the f1 signal to a terminated coaxial circulator and
(optional) f1 receive pad and then to amplifier A1. The amplified signal passes through the
(optional) f1 transmit pad. From the transmit pad the f1 signal then passes through a terminated
coaxial circulator and the f1 transmit bandpass filter to the channel branching circulator and then
to the RX-TX branching circulator. From there to cabinet mounted CPR112G, waveguide flange
for connection to the "B" antenna.
5. In the other direction, the receive signal from "B" antenna, identified as frequency "f2", enters the
repeater panel via the cabinet mounted CPR112G, waveguide flange and is then fed to a RX-TX
branching circulator. Then from the channel branching circulator, the f2 signal is passed to the f2
receive bandpass filter. The bandpass filter passes the f2 signal to a terminated coaxial
circulator and (optional) f2 receive pad and then to amplifier 2. The amplified signal passes to
(optional) f2 transmit pad. From the transmit pad the f2 signal then passes through a terminated
coaxial circulator and the f2 transmit bandpass filter to the transmit channel branching circulator
and then to the RX-TX branching circulator and the cabinet mounted CPR112G, waveguide
flange for connection to "A" antenna.
6. Receive pads RX f1 and RX f2 reduce the repeater receive signals to approximate the
recommended input level. The transmit pads designated TX f1 and TX f2 reduce the output
signal levels of the repeater for regulatory compliance and to prevent overloading of the terminal
receiver on a short hop. Pads are mounted on input and output of amplifiers. Nominal input and
output power level for various repeater channel configuration are listed at in Technical Summary
following this section.
7. Delay Equalizers are added to correct for the slope and parabolic group delay introduced by the
bandpass filters and branching networks. Equalized repeaters are recommended for high
capacity systems, tandem repeater applications and multiple carrier 1+1, 2+0 configurations.
Amplifiers
8. In digital radio applications, in order to maintain linearity over the entire signaling envelope, the
amplifiers operate at a reduced average power level to meet the output power level requirement

R

RF-7000E Operations Manual Chapter 1. Overview —3
as shown in Technical Summary. Each amplifier is mounted on the front of the panel to allow
easy AGC/ALC and linear gain adjustments. It also provides easy amplifier replacement in the
field. Necessary information for ordering spare or replacement amplifiers is provided later in
Chapter 1, Ordering Information.
Directional Couplers
9. Directional couplers, built into the amplifiers, provide signal monitor points, “RF MON”. These
allow in-service measurement of transmit output power. The monitor points are calibrated for
calculating the actual RF output power at the amplifier output and at the antenna port flange.
When measuring transmit power, the power meter reading obtained, plus the loss (in dB) marked
at the amplifier monitor point, minus the branching loss (in dB) marked on the panel, equals
actual antenna port transmit output power.

AGC/ALC Adjustment
10. There is a field-adjustable potentiometer on each amplifier. The amplifier output power set level is
adjusted by AGC/ALC potentiometer. This is a multi-turn potentiometer.
Linear Gain Adjustment
11. On each amplifier, there is a second field-adjustable potentiometer for linear gain adjustment to
limit its maximum gain. Gain adjustment is typically only used in cases where antenna isolation is
inadequate to support the required C/E at maximum gain. In the majority of cases, the AGC/ALC
automatic adjustments are all that is needed.
Power Supply
12. The only active element in each frequency channel of the RF-7000E assembly is the amplifier
which operates from a +13.5 VDC source. Current requirements are 1.15 Amperes maximum per
standard power Level 1 amplifier and 1.95 Amperes maximum for higher power Level 2
amplifiers. Solar Rated power consumption accounts for lower current demands under normal
conditions. The repeater assembly may be powered from alternative energy source such as solar
panels, wind turbines, primary cells only, or from an AC/DC supply with standby battery (shown in
Figures 17 and 18).
13. Optionally, the repeater can be configured for +24 VDC with the addition of internal DC-DC
converters. Two DC supplies of +24 VDC are brought into the repeater enclosure. They are
converted to +11.5 VDC by two DC-DC converters and power the amplifiers in redundant-
protecting mode. Current requirements, at +24 VDC, are 0.80 Amperes maximum per standard
power Level 1 amplifier and 1.35 Amperes maximum per higher power Level 2 amplifier.
14. Storage batteries and photovoltaic modules are selected on the basis of the insolation and
temperature range at the site. The batteries are engineered to provide the required reserve
capacity across the temperature range and during periods when the output from the solar panels
is low or not available. Controllers are used with the solar panels to efficiently charge the
batteries without overcharging. Peninsula Engineering Solutions can determine the solar and
battery capacity. The location of the site should be specified when requesting assistance.

15. In areas where commercial power is available, an AC power supply can be provided. Although
one AC power supply will provide ample current to power all amplifiers, dual AC power supplies
are recommended for higher reliability. The dual AC power supply system also contains two
rectifier/chargers and two sets of standby battery to provide power during AC power failures.
Each battery is float charged while the power supply is on and has 100 Amp-hours as standard
capacity. Additional batteries can be purchased if needed.
16. In locations where commercial power is not available and solar panel charging is impractical,
then alternative power sources such as thermal-electric generator, TEG, fuel cell or motor
generator are available. Power sources may be used in combination to create hybrid power
solutions capable of operating in very demanding applications. Primary cell batteries capable of
powering an RF-7000E repeater in excess of a year may be used. In such applications, the
battery installation should be given an environmental shelter according to the manufactures’
recommendations. Contact Peninsula Engineering Solutions for assistance in designing the best
power supply system.
Alarms
17. The RF-7000E repeater can be provided with an optional alarm system (RMAS) to remotely
monitor the repeater site. Conditions that are typically monitored are listed below:
Standard Telemetry:
a) A Battery Voltage
b) B Battery Voltage
c) Battery Temperature
d) Auxiliary Voltage
Standard Trip Points:
c) A and B Battery Major Alarm
d) East and West RF Output Low
e) Amplifier Alarm
f) Cabinet Door Open
g) Feedline pressure low
h) Uncommitted Points
18. The standard alarms are typically relayed back to the terminal site through the use of a low rate
telemetry signal directly modulated on the microwave carrier in a non-interfering fashion. Alarms
are visually displayed on the standard terminal receiver unit. Alarm contact closure outputs are
available for input to standard microwave supervisory systems.
19. Alternative alarm equipment is available that transmits alarm data subset via UHF radio telemetry
links operating in parallel to the microwave hop. This type of alarm equipment is used when
access to the terminal radio AGC is not available or compatible.
20. Alarm closures can be converted to SNMP reporting over IP networks using Peninsula’s
SNMP-SL10 unit.

Multiple carriers per amplifier, Transmit Power Considerations
Repeater models, -04, -24 and -44 combine two radio carriers into a common signal path and them
amplify the combined carriers in a single linear amplifier. The intended application is 1+1 Frequency
Diversity systems using simple modulations such as QPSK and 16QAM. The output power per carrier
is reduced an additional 5 dB from the levels shown in Table 4. Contact the company for more
details.

Transmit power set point is reduced as the modulation becomes more complex.
This power “backoff” provides adequate linearity as required by the system performance objectives.
The ALC adjustment on each amplifier is used to set the output power level. To calculate the repeater’s
output power at the antenna port flange, take the amplifier power output without backoff, reduce that level by
the backoff listed in this table, then subtract the transmit branch loss for the specific configuration from
Tables 2 or 3.
For Example: Level 2 Amplifier Power Output = +30 dBm without backoff reduction,
Modulation is 256QAM, therefore backoff = 13.0 dB, RF-7000E-41 Tx Branch Loss = 2.6 dB,.
Output power at antenna port flange = +30.0 –13.0 –2.6 = +14.4 dBm.

Modulations listed are the most popular types. List is not exclusive. If a modulation is not listed, contact the
company for specific details.

Ordering Information
The RF-7000E RF Repeater Assembly is ordered by specifying the system model number RF-
7000E-XX, RF-7000EL-XX (Tables 5 and 6). Attenuators are provisioned by specifying their part
numbers. Transmission engineering must be completed before ordering because the necessary
attenuator values are determined from the path calculations. Part numbers are listed in Table 7.
When doing the initial system layout of a radio link which includes an RF-7000E Microwave RF
Repeater Assembly, several factors must be considered prior to ordering, to ensure correct antenna
connections and proper installation. Consider the following topics before ordering the RF-7000E
Microwave RF Repeater:
Repeater Transmit and Receive Frequencies
Repeater frequencies are coordinated with the adjacent terminal radios. See the block diagrams
for more detail. Orders cannot be accepted without firm frequencies. Frequency assignments
within the repeater can optimize the orientation of the repeater antenna ports relative to the site
antennas. Peninsula Engineering can assist in determining the frequencies and assignments.
Terminal Radio Modulation, Traffic Capacity and Repeater Transmit Power Level
Repeater transmit power levels are set based on the modulation and traffic capacity of the
adjacent terminal radios. Please include the modulation and traffic capacity details with the
purchase order. Peninsula Engineering will determine the proper transmit power level.
Modulations and traffic capacity beyond those listed in this manual may be possible to support,
contact Peninsula Engineering Solutions for more details.
Electric Power System
The repeater site power system should be detailed during the system design phase. Peninsula
Engineering Solutions can provide this design service and the power equipment. Power systems
may include: Solar, Wind, AC, TEG, Motor Generator, Fuel Cell or other power sources. All
power systems include a battery plant and associated charge control equipment. Battery capacity
must be adequate for the load, location and power source.
Antennas
The types and sizes of antennas required to meet the system requirements. Transmission
engineering can determine the antenna details. Transmission engineering and antennas are
available from Peninsula Engineering Solutions.
Feedlines
Type and length required for antenna connections (including jumper assemblies); note that
waveguide is available from Peninsula Engineering Solutions.
Mounting
Special requirements for the repeater and antennas specific to the intended tower or supporting
structure. The repeater normally mounts outdoors in its all-weather enclosure. Peninsula
Engineering Solutions can provide construction engineering support.
Alarm System
The Repeater Monitor and Alarm System equipment is optional. Please refer to Tables 9 and 10
for ordering details or refer to the alarm equipment manuals.
When ordering, specify a shipping destination and a billing address. Peninsula Engineering Solutions
returns an order acknowledgment with the scheduled shipping date. Each shipment includes an
equipment list showing the equipment ordered and shipped, including details about system and
equipment options.
