Technician’s Installation & Operation Guide Introduction The SMR-IP10 is a paired repeater solution consisting of a Donor Antenna Unit (DAU) and a Service Antenna Unit (SAU). The SMR-IP10 can be installed with a maximum of 4 service antennas using external antenna ports. The installer should consider a link budget from the SAU to Service Antennas while using external antennas and dividers (splitters).
Technician’s Installation & Operation Guide Installation Guideline Donor Antenna Unit (DAU) The Donor Antenna Unit (DAU)’s position is very important to receive clear and stable signals from the base station. Find a location where the RF signal is the most stable and install the DAU.
Technician’s Installation & Operation Guide Installation Guideline Service Antenna Unit (SAU) The Service Antenna Unit (SAU) shall be positioned in the direction of target service area. Secure enough distance between the Donor Antenna Unit and the Service Antenna Unit to prevent oscillation. Install the SAU on the wall or ceiling. Install the SAU in a location where people cannot easily reach. Secure isolation over 10ft between antennas if you install SAU near other carrier antennas.
Technician’s Installation & Operation Guide Installation Guideline Application Donor Antenna Unit Divider (Splitter) Service Antenna Unit Service Antenna Basic Structure (Recommended) Link Cable Loss consideration is necessary if extended Built-in antenna 1 External Antenna Link Cable Loss consideration is necessary if extended Cable Loss should be considered 2 External Antenna Cable Loss should be considered Link Cable Loss consideration is necessary if extended 15
Technician’s Installation & Operation Guide Installation Guideline When using 4 dividers, the following architecture will be applicable and the divider shall stay the same.
Technician’s Installation & Operation Guide Installation Guideline Coverage Area – CDMA 1X RSSI The expected line of sight coverage area is shown below. The total loss of service includes cable losses and divider losses. The following table shows Uplink coverage. The downlink coverage is wider than the Uplink coverage. For example, when the input signal level of Donor Antenna Unit (DAU) is -90dBm and coverage is 15m, the total loss of service side is necessary to make less than 15dB.
Technician’s Installation & Operation Guide Installation Guideline Coverage Area - LTE The Downlink and Uplink throughput shall be measured at over 80% of outdoor throughput measurement.
Technician’s Installation & Operation Guide Installation Guideline Link cable Cable Length: 50m (164 ft.
