PART 1: INTRODUCTION

The Eclipse2 series is a new generation base station developed by RF Technology. The

design is based on the software defined radio (SDR) technology which allows user to

upgrade their base stations from standard FM modulation to P25 or other digital

protocols without hardware changes.

The Eclipse2 base station inherits RF Technology’s modular design concept which

provides extensive flexibility for users, e.g. stand alone transmitter/receiver, cross-band

operation, etc. Utilized with the DSP technology and the build-in Ethernet engine, all

operating parameters can be monitored and controlled remotely.

A typical base station system includes a transceiver DTR150 which is in one standard

4U height and 2W width; an RF power amplifier DPA150 (in standard 4U height and 4W

width); and a switch mode power supply SMPS12 (in standard 4U height and 2W

width). All the modules can be easily plugged into one RF Technology’s standard 19

inch 4U rack.

As the DTR150 transceiver can deliver up to 5 Watt RF output power, the power

amplifier may not be necessary, this allows more than one base station systems (up to

6) to be mounted into a single 19 inch rack

The base station is designed for continuous operation from –30°C to +60°C (–22°F

to +140°F).
