3.4 ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Maximum antenna gain connected to this device is 14dB or lower. DO NOT EXCEED
THIS REQUIREMENT.
ANTENNAS: please read your manufacturers antenna specifications before installation.
Your antenna will require a type “N” connection. The antenna, coax, and fittings must be
50 ohms impedance.
The cellular repeater requires antennas that operate in the desired frequency range of the cellular repeater.
The RPT700 Dual Band Repeater has a frequency operating range covering 698 to 787 Megahertz for the
up- link, and 728 to756 Megahertz for the downlink. Your antennas must operate within these
frequencies.
Failure to select the proper antennas will greatly degrade the performance of your repeater.
The repeater requires two antennas to be connected to the system. See figure 3 below showing coax
connectors on the bottom of the repeater enclosure.
The Donor antenna is the antenna pointing to the Cellular Tower and the Area Fill antenna is the antenna
that provides the fill signal to your desired area.
