User Manual SmartCell Repeater 2.2.2 Downlink/ Uplink Path The user may select frequency bands according to the site conditions. After receiving a signal from the donor antenna(s), the repeater improves it and sends a securely isolated signal out to the service antenna(s). Each amplifier module has its own separate digital filter module (DFM). The amplifier module consists of a down converter, up converters, cavity filter, and power amplifier (PAU). In the Downlink Path: 1.
User Manual SmartCell Repeater 2.2.3 700MHz Frequency Selection 700MHz Band Frequency The 700MHz AMP module complies with LTE 3GPP requirements, where a maximum of two noncontiguous block configurations are available. Each block is adjustable per 5 MHz. 2.2.4 850MHz Frequency Selection 850MHz Band Frequency The 850MHz AMP module provides Cellular service, where a maximum of two non-contiguous block configurations are available.
User Manual SmartCell Repeater 2.2.5 1900MHz Frequency Selection 1900MHz Band Frequency The 1900MHz AMP module complies with PCS Band blocks, where a maximum of three noncontiguous filtering configurations are available. Each sub block is adjustable per 1.25MHz bandwidth steps up to 20MHz. The Following table shows user selectable channel numbers. DL CENTER [MHz] CHANNEL BAND DL CENTER [MHz] CHANNEL 1931.25 25 guard 1965 700 A1 1932.5 1933.75 50 75 E 1966.25 1967.
User Manual SmartCell Repeater 2.2.6 2100MHz Frequency Selection F1 F2 2100MHz Band Frequency The 2100MHz AMP module complies with CDMA band requirements, where two block configurations are available. In order to set contiguous band F, check ‘Band F1’, ‘Band F2’ and ‘contiguous’ button in the WEB UI. In order to set Band F1 or Band 2 do not check ‘contiguous’ button in WEB UI. Band F configuration is as follows: Downlink BAND F Uplink Start Stop Start Stop F1 2145.15 2149.85 1745.

MPE Information Warning: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna should not be less than 50 cm during normal operation. The gain of the antenna is 9.0 dBi.
