2 Antenna and Repeater Installation
Requirements
This chapter provides information on the specifications of the donor and service antennas suitable for
operation with this repeater, on the installation requirements of the antennas and on the Repeater
installation site and cable requirements.
ATTENTION!!
The DIGImini models described in this manual have been approved by Industry Canada to operate
with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna
impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain
greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de
modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour
fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et
l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou
dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de
l'émetteur.
2.1 Base (Donor) Antenna Requirements
The Base (Donor) antenna is usually installed outdoors and is either a directional antenna such as a
Yagi or a Panel antenna.
2.1.1 Required Antenna Information
You will require the following antenna information
Antenna type and characteristics
Height
Length and type of coaxial cable required for connecting the Donor antenna to the Repeater and
the attenuation.
2.1.2 Donor Antenna specifications
Yagi type or similar: 8 to 13 dBi gain, except for 1700MHz – where the maximum antenna gain
is 9 dBi.
Very sharp beam pointed to the BTS..
Cable and jumper loss is at least 2dB.
Example of antenna's typical specifications:
Gain: 8 dBd (=10.1 dBi)
VSWR: < 1:5:1
Impedance: 50 ohm
