1.1 Site Survey, Planning and Design
1.1.1 Overview
The telemetry system for the Panorama Central Monitoring System consists of the following
major components:
• Instrument and Ambulatory Transceivers
•Active Antennas
• Coaxial Cable and RF Splitters
• TIM Transceiver
• Panorama Telemetry Server
• Panorama Central Station
System components will be installed on a full height equipment rack, which should be
installed in a secure, climate-controlled area.
The antenna system for the Panorama WMTS telemetry is a diversity system. It operates in the
608-614 and 1400 MHz VHF bands. The system receives information from patients in the
608-614 MHz band - the 'uplink'- and transmits information to patients in the 1400 MHz
band (1395-1400 MHz or 1427-1429.5 MHz) - the 'downlink'.
The system will include active antennas, Belden 1695A and/or Belden 7732A co-axial
cable, 2/1 RF splitters, a telemetry receiver, and a wireless server. This system will interface
to the Panorama Central Station via a 100 MB Ethernet connection.
The active antennas provide the amplification required to offset the cable and splitter losses.
There are separate settings to set uplink and downlink amplification.
The active antennas operate on 9 volt DC power provided by the wireless transceiver via the
center conductor of the coaxial cable.
