USER MANUAL FOR RX-2123

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The RX-2123 WCDMA2100 Digital Channel Selective Repeater (hereinafter called RX-2123) is
designed for 2100MHz network. It can wireless transmit, bi-directional amplify WCDMA uplink and
downlink signals and is designed for eliminating communicational coverage blind spots. By using the new
Comba AFC (Antenna Feedback Cancellation) technique, the system isolation tolerance has been
greatly improved: Imax>G-15dB, which was obliged to be higher than G+15dB under conventional
technique.
Characteristics of RX-2123 are as follows:
DL output power is 20W available and UL output power is 23dBm.

Supports multiple carriers which up to 3 carriers. Uplink and downlink with digital carrier selective
frequency can efficiently amplify BS signal and MS signal.

With AFC and isolation detected functions for easy engineering and higher security.

Adopts automatic gain adjustment and equipment automatic power-off in case AFC function being
activated to pretend the equipment and network in extreme environment,

Digital filter technique allows better filter function.

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

Adopt high linear PA and ensure WCDMA signal efficiently being amplified.

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 PC locally. It can also check the downlink power and download the latest OMT
version.

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.
Build-in Li-ion battery ensures that alarm information can automatically report to OMC in case of
equipment power failure.

Designed for all weather outdoor application - waterproof, damp-proof and Omni-sealed (IP65).

SYSTEM DIAGRAM

Figure 2: RX-2123 System Diagram


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 DT duplexer then to AFC digital
processing module for digital filtering and self-oscillation elimination. 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 AFC digital
processing module then to uplink PA to power amplify and filter via duplexer, finally get back to BS by
donor antenna.

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.

SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

Site Considerations
The site considerations are listed below:

The distance between the donor antenna and the BS should satisfy line of sight requirements for
maximum coverage area. The received spots accept field intensity at least -70dBm.
Make sure that TX and RX antennas isolation should more than the max gain that of -10dB.
Supply power near by the BS and easily access to the grounding spot.

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.
Chassis output interface should install higher 1.2m than the ground.
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 which should under the
temperature that of -25oC ~55oC and relative humidity of maximal 95%.
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.
Cable requirements are as follow:

one should set the DL ATT to 0 before performing the check.
Go to [Properties Info] and set [Equipment ID].
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, Report Mode.
Select the equipment controlled and monitored parameters.
If the external devices are connected to the equipment for
management, please enable in the [External Alarm Info.] Interface.
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.
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.
