2. OVERVIEW/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The AFL Channel Selective Cell Enhancer is a 2-way on-band repeater. Various models are
available to cover frequency bands from 50MHz to 3000MHz. Its main sphere of
applications is in urban areas where the topology is such that shadows occur in the
propagation pattern (for example within large buildings, conference centres and tunnels,
etc.,)
The Channel Selective Cell Enhancer is a 4-port device with direct connection to two
antennas, a highly directional Yagi or similar aligned towards the base site (for the nine
downlink channels) and a dedicated uplink antenna for the mobiles. The frequency bands
that are passed by the Cell Enhancer are set as per the specific customer requirements.
AFL manufacture a wide range of Cell Enhancers, configured for each customer's specific
requirements. Two basic physical variants are available, a rack mounted version to fit in a
standard 19" rack and an environmentally sealed wall mounted version which requires no
further enclosure.
The rack-mounted version is supplied in this instance in 5 shelf units. Each shelf/tray unit
containing active modules has a ‘D.C. on’ indicator on the front panel and the PSU (in the
downlink amplifier shelf) also has an ‘A.C. on’ indicator.
