1 Description
The wide band booster (PODRP23) is a bi-directional amplifier used to
enhance signals between a mobile and a base station. This repeater type is
used for digital telecommunication system:
1) -It picks up the strongest signal
from BTS via the Donor Antenna,
2) -Linearly amplifies the signal and
then retransmits it via the Indoor
Signal Distribution System to the weak/blind coverage area.
3) -And the mobile signal is also amplified and retransmitted to the BTS
via the opposite direction.
It features with customized frequency band, flexible installation,
cost-effectiveness and ideal coverage solution, its output power varies from
20dBm to 23dBm.
It is applied to small, medium-size areas such as home, offices, shops, and
basements, remote countryside , and mining well etc.
This model booster is commonly used in situations where large numbers of
frequency carriers are to be repeated or when base station synthesized
frequency hopping is used.
This model booster does not separate out specific carriers but amplify and
retransmit all signals within a defined frequency band. Inter-modulation
distortion caused by band selective repeaters usually means that lower output
power per carrier can be realized compared to channel selective repeaters.

The RF link (donor) towards the base station is typically fed from an
outdoor antenna while the coverage area is fed by an indoor antenna
The RF link (donor) towards the base station is typically fed from an
outdoor antenna while the coverage area is fed by an indoor antenna or
connected to mobile antenna directly.
The signal from the base station is received via directly antenna, then
forwarded through a duplex filter, is amplified in a low noise amplifier (LNA),
enters the RF filter for wideband selective, and then amplified in the power
amplifier.
The output signal passes a duplex filter, before it is fed to mobile or indoor
antenna which retransmits the signal to the aim areas.

5 Applications Example
The repeater coverage area size depends on output power of repeater
1) Repeater output power= repeater input power + gain;
2) If repeater work at full output power, it require the input power= 20(output
power)- 65(gain) = -35dBm;
3) For 850/1900 dual band repeater, the donor antenna direction must be
adjustment angle by angle, so the dual band input power require good
signal at the same time , then 850 and 1900 can work with maximum
coverage area and distance.
Notices:
1) The signal strength (includes donor antenna) from donor BTS must be 5dB
larger than from neighbor BTS lists and signal level>-50dBm, so the
repeater can amplifier in high efficiency with full output power.
2) The donor antenna should have line of sight (LOS) with the BTS antenna.
If the signal strength is adequate, LOS may in some cases not be
necessary.

3) Donor antenna gains are typically 9 to 14 dB, and have a horizontal and
vertical beam width of less than 30° to correctly select the donor BTS.
4) There is large physical separation between the antennas in order to
prevent degradation of signal quality and risk of oscillation (Antenna
isolation). Ways to achieve this can be usage of highly directional
antennas with good front-to-back interference ratio or external shielding
between the antennas (For example, your building has a metal roof and
you install the Donor antenna above the roof and the Coverage antenna
below the roof.). Another option is to use a Frequency Translating
Repeater or ICS repeater.
5.1 Minimum Signal Levels
You must have a minimum signal level in the place where you would install the
Donor antenna. Failure to provide sufficient input signal will only result in a
poor coverage inside the building for this repeater system.
5.2 How to check your signal levels
To check your signal levels, use the phones in the place where antenna be
install (on the roof) and observe the signal bars on the phone. It is also helpful
to be on a call for immediate registration of the signal/reception. Carefully walk
around the roof with the phone to see where the signal is best. The Donor
(outside) antenna should be placed in the location where you get the most
signal.

User Manual
It is important to investigate and understand what is causing your reception
difficulties. If your building is made of concrete, steel, steel roof, copper roof,
brick, aluminum siding, concrete roofing tiles, metal roofing tiles or any other
signal stopping material, a repeater is usually the ideal solution for your
situation. Signal outside is 3-5 bars and falls off when you enter the building.
This is an indicator that the building is the problem and a repeater system will
usually solve that problem by bringing that reception from the outside to cover
the inside of your building.
5.3 Custom Applications
Most homes or buildings are easily covered by one of our base repeater
systems. Some buildings are larger or have multiple areas inside that need
coverage.
You may need longer cables, more than 2 coverage antennas or other items in
order to fully cover your building. We can make (almost) any cable length and
can help design a system that fits your application.
5.4 Isolation and Separation
Isolation refers to the proper distance or separation needed to keep the Donor
antenna signal pattern and the Coverage antenna signal pattern away from
each other.
Isolation becomes particularly problematic when Omni-directional antennas
are used for both the Donor and the Coverage antennas. Since these
antennas transmit in a circle (or more accurately a sphere) it is very easy for
these spheres to overlap and thus negate the repeater system.
6 Production Operation
6.1 Notices
Follow below safety items carefully before installation, implementation,
maintenance and operation for this product
) Repeater amplifies BTS uplink and downlink signal, it can extend BTS
coverage area in downlink, but also effect BTS receive sensitivities in
uplink.

User Manual
) BS and MS port must be connected to donor antenna and service antenna
when powers supply on; otherwise the equipment will be damage for long
term use.
) When use repeater for outdoor, the distance between donor antenna and
service antenna must be >20metes, otherwise the repeater will be damage
because isolation problem for long term use.
) Donor antenna need to be lighting proof and lighting rod need to be install
for donor antenna installation pole outside
) Check input power, require input power less than maximum input power of
repeater, otherwise the repeater cannot work well.
) Keep clear for label and indicator on surface of repeater to be identified.
6.2 Installation
Installing a repeater system is really quite simple. The most difficult task in
installing the system is running the cable and does connectors.
Step 1: Start by taking your phone up to the roof or other location outside
to find where the signal is strongest.
Step 2: Temporarily mount the Donor (outside) antenna in that location.
You may need to adjust and move the antenna later.
Step 3: Run coaxial cable into the building to a convenient location where
you can also get standard 220VAC power for the repeater.
Step 4: Place the repeater in that location and connect the coaxial cable to
the Donor Side of the repeater and the donor antenna.
Step 5: Mount your coverage (inside) antenna in a productive location.
You may need to adjust or move the antenna later.
Step 6: Connect coaxial cable between the coverage antenna and the
repeater output port.
Step 7: Power up the system and check for signal inside the building. If
needed, tune system by moving and or pointing the Donor and Coverage
antennas until they get the most signal possible.

Step 8: Secure all antennas and cables, securely mount the repeater and
clean up the installation.
6.3 Commissioning
) The repeater work in indoor, the indoor condition should meet environment
requirement, such as temperature, waterproof, installation space and
interference source ;
) In order to receive right BTS signal, the antenna be directly toward to
visual BTS.
) RF connectors should be link tighten;
) Repeater working power voltage DC 5V, power adapter transform AC
100~240V to DV 5V;
) Use mobile signal bars to check coverage effect on site.
) For dual band repeater, if one band signal is not well, you can change the
donor antenna direction and check the change until it reach good
coverage.
