1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The mPICO Series Digital Pico Repeater (hereinafter called “mPICO”) is designed for single/dual/triple band network. It can wireless transmit, bi-directional amplify uplink and downlink signals and is designed for eliminating communicational coverage blind spots. mPICO is used in indoor locations where small-scale signal coverage for metropolitan environment is desired (e.g., hotels, department stores and shopping malls, underground parking lots, convention centres, arenas, etc.) Characteristics of mPICO are as follows:

Uplink and downlink with digital carrier selective frequency can efficiently amplify BS signal and MS

signal.

Digital filter technique allows better filter function.

With both gain and frequency temperature automatic adjustment ensures equipment in a stable

operation.

With out-of-band suppression and supports automatic gain temperature compensation function

which can maintain regular operation among working temperature.

Local Operation and Maintenance Terminal (OMT): operating status and parameters can be set or

monitored by OMT locally.

Operation Maintenance Center (OMC): system working parameters and communication

configuration can be set or inquired remotely through the build-in modem. If alarm is generated, the

equipment will dial up to OMC automatically in the mode of SMS or PSD.

External Li-ion battery ensures that alarm information can automatically report to OMC in case of

equipment power failure.

The following figure shows the enclosure of the mPICO.

As shown in the above figure, the downlink BS signals go through DT port to the system and then to downlink by duplexer separation. The DL signals will go through digital filter. Then the DL signals will be sent to downlink PA to amplify power and filter via duplexer. After amplification, the signals are transmitted at the MT port to the service antenna. On the UL, the signals transmitted by the mobile go through MT integration duplexer and digital filer then to uplink PA to power amplify and filter via duplexer, finally get back to BS by donor antenna.

3 INSTALLATION

3.1 WARNINGS AND ALERTS

Radio Frequency Energies There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy. High Voltage The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably, practicable danger. Any work activity on or near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be, as far as reasonably, free from danger. Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures, wet, corrosive or dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably installed to prevent danger. Protective Earthing Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the purpose and properly maintained and used. Handling Precautions This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or restraining an object, animal or person. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such as pulling a lever, or operating power tools. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic devices are ESD-sensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while working with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store, and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments. Manual Handling

During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical injury to the installation personnel and the equipment.



3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

Site Considerations

The repeater is designed for indoor installation and operation. Antenna separation For optimal operation, the physical separation of the MT and DT antennas should satisfy the condition for I > GMAX +15dB, where I represents isolation between MT and DT ports. Environmental

The installation location for the product should be indoor. Also it should have enough room, air flow and good heat dissipation. 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

The RF cables for mPICO have SMA (F) connectors; other cable connects the equipment with the external PSU. Cable requirements are as follow:

3.3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

3.3.1 GOODS INWARDS INSPECTION

Verify the number of packages received against the packing list.

Check all packages for external damage; report any external damage to the shipping courier. If there

is damage, a shipping agent should be present before unpacking and inspecting the contents

because damage caused during transit is the responsibility of the agent.

Open and check each package against the packing list. If any items are missing, please contact

Comba.

Do not remove items from antistatic packing until ready for installation. If damage is discovered at

the time of installation, contact the shipping agent.

Table 7: Commissioning

Commissioning Tasks Observation

1. On-line and Inquiry status Connect to Comba OMT.

Proceed if there is no alarm; else check the failure and attend to the alarm.

2. Set Frequency and Bandwidth

Set the repeater’s operating frequency.

3. Adjust Downlink Output Power and align donor antenna

Observe DL input power from measured value. Align the direction of donor antenna until the DL input power reading is maximized.

Note: To ensure that the measured DL input power is accurate, one should set the DL ATT to “0” before performing the check.

4. Configure [Site ID] Go to [NMS] and set [Site ID].

5. Comm. Config

Enable the power supply by selecting “On” in [RF] -> [Switch]; go to [Properties Info.] -> [Comm. Config.] and set OMC Phones No. , the service No. of SMSC, OMC server IP, OMC server IP Port, Communication Mode.

6. Select Monitoring Parameters

Select the equipment controlled and monitored parameters.

7. Test coverage area field intensity and adjust service antenna.

Use test-handset to verify field intensity within the coverage area. If needed, realign the service antenna to achieve the desired coverage.

Note: If during operation, the equipment gain could not be set to maximum or the output power is not high enough due to insufficient donor and service antennas isolation, then the antennas’ position should be changed to increase isolation. If the output power is too high and ALC is activated, then adjust the DL ATT to achieve optimal DL Gain.

8. Verify UL gain and ensure test call produces good voice quality and there is no interfering BTS

Adjust UL gain and perform test calls. Typically, the UL gain is set around 5dB less than DL gain. Perform test calls in the coverage area while adjusting UL gain if required.

Note: If the repeater is near the BTS and the test call performance is poor, this may be due to UL noise interference to the BTS. Users can calculate and determine if the repeater UL noise will interfere with the BTS.

Verify again that there is no unacceptable interference to BTS.
