This could be usefull when the radio has a long scan period for delivering GPS coordinates and you want a position here and now. ○  Start Sepura Performance Reports – This function is at the moment only avaliable in Sepura radios and is use for getting the RSSI downlink measurment from the radio.   3.5.12.2  Configuring positioning  At present the TetraFlex® relies on the mobile to send positioning to a group. Any group may be used, but it is recommended to create a specific positioning group. This GPS to Group assignment must be set from the radio programming tool.   The position information SDS from the mobile is send to the group. The dispatcher is as rule “member” of all groups, so the dispatcher will pick up the SDS information, process and show it as a position on the map.  Positioning SDS’s are filtered out and will not be shown in the dispatcher SDS inbox   3.5.12.3  Overlay file in ESRI map (.shp) format  NOTE: The use of overlay files in ESRI format is dongle controlled.   You can use ESRI overlay maps on top Google premier maps, OpenStreet maps, Raster maps and the Empty map option. Standard Google maps are not supported with overlay maps. The Dispatcher uses a flag in the Dongle in order to enable and disable the ESRI shape file view.   The current used overlay files are saved together with the used map and will be re-loaded when the map view / dispatcher is started again.

Once connected, it will automatically start to record the status of all Nodes in the TetraFlex® network, without any configuration. Furthermore it can be setup to log statistics (default, always present), SDS, Call records and Voice Communication, or a combination of these functions (dongle controlled)  The TetraFlex® system supports the attachment of one or more Log Servers to the system. The Log Server is developed to run on a Windows platform.  For single-site and small systems the Log Server can be installed on and run from the BSC412 or BSC421.  For bigger systems the Log Server must run on DAMM Log Work Station or on a DAMM Log Server Station.   3.6.2  General Description  3.6.2.1  The TetraFlex® Network and the Log Server  The TetraFlex® network infrastructure consists of TetraFlex® Nodes which are connected through a backbone IP net as illustrated in Figure 3-78   Log Servers are passive network elements that can be attached anywhere in the infrastructure, only requirement is IP connectivity to the backbone network. When attached the LogServer will automatically be joining a specific log server IP multicast address on which all Nodes send status and call information.  The Log Server is capable of:    Logging the status from all Nodes in the TetraFlex® network.   Logging Call information (Call Data Records) for all mobiles.   Logging Voice Communication for selected mobiles.   Logging the mobiles Node location and on/off state for selected mobiles.  The Log Server automatically starts to log the status from the TetraFlex® Nodes. In addition, it can be setup to log all calls (CDR without voice) and SDS on the system, and optionally log Voice Communication and Node location for selected mobiles. The Log Server logs all data to a database, managed by a SQL Server. In Figure 3-78 TetraFlex® Network with Log Server, the SQL Server and the Log Server are running on the TetraFlex® Log Server machine.

The Log server can be setup to perform a scheduled maintenance, which can run on specified interval. It is also possible to make the “Maintenance now”.   The Maintenance parameters are setup via the LogClient, but the LogClient itself has nothing to do with the execution of the maintenance this is totally done by the log server based on the settings made by the client.  The maintenance is performed by the LogServer, which executes 2 steps: An optional backup of the database files to a network share, and an optional cleanup old data. Each of these steps can be disabled independently of each other.  It is recommended to enable the scheduled maintenance with backup and automatic cleanup enabled. There are several of good reasons for this:  - Keep the database from running out of disk space.  - backup the database to an external disk to ensure data in case of disk crash. - Keep high performance when querying data from the database.

Open the settings view and select the database tab.   Figure 3-79 Log Client  Setting view –Database tab  1. In the Database maintenance group box, you can enable/disable “scheduled maintenance”, “database backup” and “Cleanup database records”. 2. To set up scheduled maintenance set a check mark in “Enable scheduled maintenance”. 3.  Now set the start time to a time where the TetraFlex traffic load possibly is low, i.e. midnight. 4.  Finally set how often this operation should be performed in “Maintenance interval”. The Maintenance task can be executed each day, every week, every 2nd week, or every 4th week, depending on the selected “Maintenance interval”.   To enable backup of database put a check mark in the “Backup database” checkbox. Now you must supply a fully qualified network path to the backup share you are using. This must be on the form \\<BackupServer-IP>\<Share> seen from the LogServer; local drives and mapped drives are not allowed because they are not available when the LogServer is running with no one logged in. Login credentials must have write permissions in the supplied destination share. E.g.:Figure 3-79  the Backup network share is set to:

To enable the scheduled database maintenance settings you have to click the “Save settings” button. When you do this, you will be requested to enter the login credentials for the Backup Destination Login.   Figure 3-80 Backup destination login credentials   When the scheduled maintenance is saved and enabled, you can see when the next scheduled maintenance task is executed in the Next scheduled maintenance task field, see Error! Reference source not found..   Figure 3-81 next scheduled maintenance task  To enable or disable cleanup of old database records set or remove the check mark in “Cleanup database records (after backup)”, and specify the cleanup threshold in the “Delete record older than” edit box. The scheduled maintenance executes the database backup as the first step (if selected), when this succeeds it continues to clean up the old database records from database.   3.6.3.2  Maintenance Now  The LogClient offers the possibility to check/test your database maintenance settings by initiating the database maintenance immediately. Be aware that the “Maintenance now” is executed with the saved “Backup database” and “Cleanup database records” settings. These settings are shown in the confirm dialog, see Error!

It is possible to follow the maintenance progress by accepting this, see fig.3.82.   Figure 3-83 Follow maintenance progress   The Maintenance progress is shown in the “Additional info maintenance” dialog, see Fig. 3.83. The rows and fields in this dialog are filled as the progress information becomes available.  3.6.3.3  Maintenance History  Once the maintenance has finished, the result of the maintenance can be found in the Maintenance history. Open the “Maintenance History” dialog to see the list of executed maintenance jobs. Each maintenance job has a row containing info about: start- and end time, the result (OK or Error), the type of maintenance executed, backup destination and cleanup of old records. See Maintenance history in Error! Reference source not found. below.   Figure 3-84 Maintenance history  To remove an old Maintenance job choose the row, then press the remove button.

MyISAM manages non-transactional tables which provides high-speed storage and retrieval of data. The database can be backed up simply by copying the database files. Don’t forget to backup (copy) the logClient executable which is located at: \\<logServer>\Tetraflex\LogClient\Files\LogClient.exe.  The TetraFlexLogDb database is stored either under the default MySql data path:   C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\tetraflexlogdb   or on systems with more partitions:  E:\Tetra\Applications\LogServer\Database\ tetraflexlogdb  Copy this folder and the LogClient executable to an external storage to make your manual backup.   To find the physical database files location look in the MySql configuration file:  C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini find the following line starting with datadir, i.e: datadir="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.0/Data/"  3.6.3.5  Restoring a database  The scheduled maintenance backup files are stored under the supplied path entered in Scheduled maintenance; see section 3-98 Scheduled Maintenance for further info. The backup contains the database files as well as the LogClient which is able to read it.

Important: When the copy has finished, the MySql Server locks the files and you will no longer be able to rename or delete the database files. The MySql service has to be stopped to delete or rename a database folder.  It should now be possible to connect to the MySql server and select the database with the LogClient, see fig. 3.87. To restore the backup press the connect button. On success you will get a “Connect to database succeeded” dialog, see fig. 3.88.   Figure 3-87 Selection the database backup

The BS41x Tetra BS includes either the TMA412 Tower Mounted Amplifier or the TMD412 Tower Mounted Amplifier and Duplexer. The use of the RX amplifier section in the TMA/TMD is mandatory. It shall preferably be mounted in the top of the mast as close as possible to the RX antennas or alternatively ground mounted at the BS rack.  The TMD412 in addition contains a Duplex Filter, which optionally can combine the TX and one RX to run on same antenna.    Whenever possible it is however recommended to run with two separate RX antennas and one TX antenna.  When using the TMD412 Tower Mounted Amplifier/Duplexer it is recommended not to use the duplex filter option for more than 1 carrier, as the usage of the duplex filter may increase disturbances in the receiver i.e. reduced sensitivity. When using the duplex filter option, care shall be taken not to use TX frequencies generating 5th order IM products on the used RX frequencies   The antenna system shall in addition contain one GPS antennas for each installed BSC.

The TX separation is normally achieved without much effort.    Three identical low-cost feeders are required for the RX antenna system. As the main RX filters are located in the TMA, cables with good screening are needed to avoid radiation into the cables. Cables should either be double shielded or with solid screen. For most applications ¼ inch corrugated cables is the optimum choice. Cables of type RG58/U and RG213/U should not be used.  The TMA has a nominal gain of 15 dB and the system is designed to have a nominal total gain from TMA input to BS RX connector input of +6dB. With some margins this allows a maximum feeder loss of 8dB. Attenuators are provided in the BS to adjust the total gain. Note that use of lower-loss cables will not improve system performance, just increase the cost.  The following table indicates the maximum allowed length of different possible cable types:       Cable with 8dB loss 450MHz 850MHz RG223/U 28m 19m RG214/U 50m 35m 1/4 inch (RFS CF14-50) 85m 60m 3/8 inch (RFS LC38F-50) 105m 75m 1/2 inch (RFS LCF12-50) 170m 120m 5/8 inch (RFS LCF58-50) 220m 155m  If very thick cables are used, jumper feeders in both ends may be needed. Cables and connectors between antenna and TMA412/TMD412 shall be resistance to water ingress and migration.   4.1.2.3  TX antenna  The BS uses a TX antenna for all the installed TETRA carrier units, which may optionally also be used for receiving. All components used in the TX antenna system need to be high quality components with low inter-modulation to avoid distortion product to jam the receiver inputs. The requirements include the TX antenna itself and also the feeders and connectors.   The TX antenna feeder should be provided with connectors of type 7/16. Other connector types should be avoided, including connectors of type N. For 2-carrier only base stations without Duplexer N-type connectors can be used at antenna and BS.   The feeder cables shall have as low as possible insertion loss and have a solid screen. Cables with woven shields of thin wires should never be used.  The TX cable loss can be compensated, by increasing the TX output power to balance the system requirements. For a low-power Base Station this can be an acceptable solution but for a high-power BS this can give an unacceptable increase in the mains power consumption or may not be possible at all.  As guideline, the TX antenna feeder loss for a high-power BS should not exceed 2dB. This can be achieved when not exceeding the following cable lengths:

Cables and connectors between antenna and TMD412/BS41x shall be resistance to water ingress and migration.       4.1.3  GPS antenna  Each Base Station Controller includes a GPS receiver, which requires an antenna. The GPS antenna connector delivers +5V for an antenna with built-in amplifier. The GPS antenna should preferably be mounted on top of the building with good all round vision the whole horizon. It should NOT be mounted in top of a high mast and should be kept at the greatest possible distance from any transmit antenna.  The GPS signal is received on 1575.42 MHz with a bandwidth of a little more than 2 MHz Special care with separation from the TX antenna is important especially, if any transmitter is located in the range 393.5-394.2 MHz (4th harmonic).  The current used GPS receiver module in the BSC411 is a Motorola M12 and in BSC412 it is an iTrax.  Several manufactures have appropriate antennas, which match the receiver. An example is shown below.     The GPS antenna shall include an amplifier with a gain of about 25dB. As a guideline the cable loss should not exceed 14 dB, which gives the following maximum cable lengths:  Cable type 14dB RG223/U 23m RG214/U 46m ¼ inch (RFS CF14-50) 70m

Inter-modulation happens in many different places on different levels. One major place is the TX output amplifier itself. When a signal from another TX reaches a TX output amplifier, all typical transmitters will generate 3rd order IM products with a level typically 15dB below the interfering signal. The BS41x Base Station is provided with double circulators in the TX output to make sure, that IM3 products close in frequency will be at least 70dB below the carrier.    At greater differences in frequency the inter-modulation products are further reduced by the selectivity of the TX cavity combiner and the TX output filter. In the RX frequency band of the BS spurious and 5th-order IM products measured at the TX antenna connector are verified to be less that –106dBm. With the expected RX-TX antenna separation of 30 dB, any generated product in the receiver input will be less than –136dBm, well below the RX sensitivity level. This verification has been done with up to 16 simultaneous transmitters of 50W each.    For carrier output of 20W (+43dBm) the –106dBm gives a rejection of –149dB. To reach this level, extreme care is needed to avoid inter-modulation at any point.  Some connector manufacturers have recently started to specify 2-tone 3rd-order IM for their high quality connectors. These specifications typically is about –150dB. IM with more than 2 carriers are not specified. It is recommended only to use DIN 7/16mm connectors in the TX antenna feeder section. N-connectors are an order of magnitude worse and should never be used for more than 2 carriers.  Feeders shall be with solid screen and inner conductors to avoid any possibility for un-linearity due to undefined connections between individual cores in the cable. High quality RG214/U cable has been demonstrated to produce noise when bent mechanically in the lab, simulating a windy condition on a mast.  The larger antenna vendors have in the last years established test set-ups to verify IM properties of their cellular antennas for 900 and 1800MHz. For 400MHz this is almost non-existent. It is recommended that if a tested antenna cannot be purchased, then ask the vendor to confirm that all construction principles are identical to those used in verified antennas in the 900 or 1800 MHz range.  One very critical thing to remember about inter-modulation is, that it is very difficult to predict accurately. For antenna constructions two factors heavily degrade the performance. Over years connectors etc. starts to corrode, degrading IM. Additionally, IM properties can also degrade under windy conditions. Therefore a short verification of a new antenna set-up after installation does not guarantee performance in the longer term.

Date     1.00 2011-12-08  Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark   TETRAFLEX® V7.5 MANUAL - Antenna System for BS41x  TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual 4-8 Inter-modulation can be calculated with the formulas:  3rd:  f = 2xf1 – f2 5th:  f = 3xf1 – 2xf2 7th:  f = 4xf1 – 3xf2  RX frequencies should never be selected to be on frequencies, where 3rd-order IM is present for high-power Base Stations. However, 3rd order IM is only possible with special Base Stations with a TX frequency separation larger than the guard-band between RX and TX bands.  For high power Base Stations running with Duplex Filter, 5th order should always be avoided, and 7th-order should preferably be avoided as well.  The BS41x is provided with an RSSI indication accurate down the RX noise floor. This can be easily used to check for disturbance from the transmitters.    First, display the RSSI for all carriers with the OM command:  B/21/1  Note the actual RSSI and the try to key all the transmitters simultaneously with the command:  B/10+  Check the RSSI again. The difference in RSSI indicates directly the reduction in sensitivity due to disturbance from the Transmitters.

The combiner system has the following requirements:    Combine the transmitters to a single feeder with lowest possible insertion loss. o  Give isolation between the TX input ports to avoid the signal from one transmitter to reach the other transmitters and generate inter-modulation. The isolation requirement is normally minimum 55dB in order to reach a suppression of the inter-modulation signals of 70dB relative to the individual carriers. o  Filter the TX antenna output to reduce any unwanted signal in the receiver band of the Base Station to be less than –106dBm in order to avoid interference in the receiver with an TX/RX antenna separation of >=30dB. o  Make wide-band filtering of the TX output signal to avoid interference to other radio equipment installed in the same mast.  Two different methods exist in order to combine several transmitters to a single antenna:  o  Cavity Combiner (combining with filters) o  Hybrid Combiner (combining with 3-dB couplers)  The cavity combiner has the advantage that it can combine a high number of transmitters selectively with almost constant insertion loss independent of the number of transmitters used. The disadvantage of the Cavity Combiner is that it requires minimum frequency spacing between each individual transmitter of minimum 175 kHz for the 400MHz band and 250 kHz for the 800MHz band.  The Hybrid Combiner has the advantage that is can combine transmitters with no frequency spacing restrictions and without any adjustment. For a 2-way Hybrid Combiner the insertion loss is almost equal to a Cavity Combiner. However to combine more transmitters the insertion loss increases rapidly. The theoretical insertion loss for a 2-way hybrid is 3dB, for a 4-way hybrid 6dB and for an 8-way hybrid 9dB.  The BS412 2-carrier BS is provided with a hybrid combiner whereas the BS411 and BS414 as standard are provided with cavity combiners. The BS414 can however also be delivered with a 4-way hybrid combiner.    4.2.2  Cavity combiner system  The Cavity combiner system consists of the TC411 TX Combiner 4-way module and the TF411 TX Filter. Kits with junction and connection cables connects the units together.

In the TC411 it first passes a dual circulator, which gives a reverse isolation of at least 50dB.  A circulator is a very special device with different insertion loss in the two directions. It is a passive but non-linear device, which do not follow Ohm’s law.  A circulator is a 3-port device, which behaves as a turn-around with the rule, that when you enter a port you follow the direction of the arrow around and leave the first-coming outlet again.  The function of a dual circulator is shown on the drawing below:

It enters the first circulator, follows the arrow and leaves it again in the first-coming port. The same happens in the second circulator. The TX signal passes the circulator with an insertion loss of around 0.5dB.  Any signal entering the upper port in the reverse direction will follow the red line. This could be the transmitter signal reflected at the cavity filter or at the antenna, or a signal from another transmitter.  Most of the reverse signal will be dissipated in the big high-power resistor connected to the first port. A diode detector connected to the resistor makes it possible to monitor the size of the reverse signal.  Some of the signal will be reflected at the high-power resistor and follow the red line to the low-power resistor on the next circulator, where most of the remaining signal will be dissipated. However a small fraction will be reflected and end up at the TX input port. The total rejection in the reverse direction will normally be higher than 50dB.  The size of the reverse signal can be monitored either by a voltmeter attached directly to the Test Point or via the O&M interface and the TR41x or the TCC411. The test point is used for adjustment of manually tuned combiners. The TR41x will also monitor the level on the TP and generate an alarm if the reverse signal becomes too high.  Note, that when the Base Station runs without antenna or with the cavity filter tuned to a wrong frequency, all the reflected power ends up in the high power resistor, which is designed to dissipate the total transmitted power continuously. The PA of the TR41x will always look into a perfect load as long as the cable is correctly connected between the TR41x and the circulator.   4.2.2.2  Cavity Filter  From the Circulator the TX signal enters the Cavity filter to combine the TX signals selectively. For the 400MHz range the cavity is a ¼ lambda TEM resonator with an unloaded Q of about 10.000. For the 800MHz range the cavity is a ¾ lambda TEM resonator with an unloaded Q of about 13.000.  The cavity is fully temperature compensated, and is tuned to the center frequency of the transmitter either automatically with a stepper motor or optionally manually by hand.

The junction cables are ½-lambda (or multiply thereof) long in order to keep the high impedance for all out-band frequencies in all junction points.  The junction cables are manufactured with extremely high precision and measured individually for electrical length. Never try to create these cables on your own.   4.2.2.4  Filter connection cable  The combiner output from the junction point is connected to the TF411 TX output filter with a cable with a specific electrical length. The electrical length is important for out-band frequencies due to the serial connection of two filters.   4.2.2.5  TX output filter  The TF411 high-power TX output filter gives an additional rejection of the TX noise of 25dB in the RX frequency band, which together with the cavity filters gives a total RX band rejection of 60dB minimum.  The output connector of the filter is a DIN 7/16mm connector with good inter-modulation properties.  The filter output also contains two directional couplers with BNC connectors with an accurately adjusted coupling of -40dB and a directivity of minimum 25dB.

The current outputs are forwarded to the BSC412 Base Station Controller, which can display the actual output and reflected power at the TX antenna connector.  The following OM commands can be used to check the output   F15/F (output and freq for each running TR412) F13 (summarized output after combiner)   The AI411 is provided with two adjustments on the front plate, to allow accurate calibration of the displayed power.    4.2.2.7  TCC411 TX Combiner Controller  The TC411 Cavity Combiner is equipped with the TCC411 TX Combiner Controller, which controls the position of the stepper motors based on channel information received from the TR41x Transceiver.  At power-up the Micro-Controller tunes the cavity to the upper mechanical end stop to know its exact position.  When receiving a channel command from the TR41x the MC calculates the required motor position and automatically tunes the cavity to the required position. The required motor position is calculated from a calibration table inside the MC, created when the TC411 is factory adjusted.  The channel command to the TCC411 is automatically generated in the TR41x when a channel change is done.  If the TR41x is powered off or removed, the TCC411 will automatically after about 30 seconds in brackets return the cavity to the upper end stop to avoid it to interference with other cavities.  The TCC411 is provided with an O&M interface and can be accessed from the BSC411.  The center frequency of the cavity can be fine adjusted with the 13 command in the TCC411. This is normally not needed but could be done if e.g. the BS is placed at a high altitude, where the air pressure is lower, which will increase the cavity frequency.

The Base Station is provided with two completely independent RX signal paths to connect the two RX antennas.  The use of two RX antennas in a diversity scheme gives a considerably improvement in sensitivity of the Base Station. The improvement is described in the Diversity Application Note.     In addition the use of two RX antennas with completely separate signal paths gives redundancy to the BS RX. If a fault occur in one leg of any of the components (antenna, feeder, amplifier etc.), the BS will still be able to operate with the other antenna, only loosing the sensitivity of the diversity gain.  The system includes as standard a Tower Mounted Amplifier to eliminate the sensitivity degradation normally caused of the RX feeder loss. The TMA can compensate for up to 8dB feeder loss with no change in RX sensitivity, allowing the use of thin feeders with a considerably saving in feeder expenses. See the Antenna application note for antenna and feeder configurations.  The Base Station is provided with an RF Test Loop feature, which allows a transmitter to generate a test signal for test of the complete RX section, including measurement of RX sensitivity at the TMA input and measurement of RX antenna return loss.  Dependent of the type of Base Station used, up to 16 TR41x can be connected to a single Radio Cell, and up to 4 Radio Cells can be configured in a BSC411 Base Station Controller.   4.3.2  RX signal path description  The RX signal normally comes from the RX antenna to the TMA input with a short jumper cable. The TMA is provided with an N-female connector.  Inside the TMA the signal first passes a dual directional coupler used to insert test signals in forward and reverse directions. This feature is described in the RFTL section. The signal then passes a big low-loss pre-selection filter. The input of the filter is DC grounded to ensure that no DC voltage can be build-up on the antenna feeder. The filter has the following specifications:  Parameter 400MHz 800MHz Pass-band width 5MHz 14MHz Guard-band width  5MHz 25MHz Out-band rejection 60dB min. 60dB min.  The high 60dB out-band rejection ensures proper duplex operation of the Base Station. With the required RX-TX antenna isolation of 30dB a total rejection of the TX signal of 90dB is

The filter also ensures good rejection of signals from other transmitters in the same mast.  The filter is followed of an LNA with a GaAs PHEMT transistor with simultaneous very low noise figure and high IM intercept point.  The amplifier output goes to the N-female output connector, where the DC-feed from the BS to supply the amplifier is extracted. An over-voltage arrestor is provided on the connector to protect the amplifier during lightning.   The RX signal is then going from the TMA to the RX input connector on top of the BS through the RX feeder, and further internally in the BS to the RM input of rear side of the AI411 Antenna Interface Unit.  The AI411 input is also provided with an over-voltage arrestor. After passing the DC insertion circuit, the RX signal passes a directional coupler, which can be used to provide a test input signal through the TNC connector on the AI411 front plate.  Afterwards follows the attenuator used to balance the RX feeder loss, adjustable through the hole in the front plate marked “Gain”.  The signal is amplified in a low-noise high dynamic range transistor to compensate for the following splitters. The AI411 is provided with two outputs coming from a 2-way Wilkinson splitter.  The two outputs can either feed up to eight TR41x through external splitters with 13dB insertion loss (used in 4- and 8-carrier BS versions) or feed two TR41x directly (used in the 2-carrier BS version).  A jumper internally in the AI411 changes the output level with 13 dB to compensate for the splitter. The actual setting of this jumper is marked outside the AI411 besides the type plate.   4.3.3  Supply and alarm circuits  Each RX path is provided with independent voltage regulators to feed the TMA and RM amplifiers.  The TMA DC feed is provided with circuitry to detect low-current alarm (no TMA connection) and low-voltage (TMA connection short-circuit).  Similarly the RM amplifier is provided with circuitry to detect low-current and high-current alarms.  The alarms are connected to the BSC and send to the TR41x’s assigned to the particular Radio Cell. If faults exist in one leg only, a warning alarm is generated. If alarms exist in both legs, a blocking alarm is generated.   4.3.4  RF Test Loop path description

Each TR41x is provided with an RFTL output (BNC connector) on the front plate. The output can be activated with either a high level output (-40dB relative to the TX output connector), low level output (-50dBr) or turned off (<-80dBr).  The output signals are either combined in RFTL combiner modules and brought to the AI411 RFTL inputs (4- and 8-carrier versions) or brought directly to the AI411 inputs (2-carrier versions).  In the AI411 the two inputs are combined, followed of and attenuator/jumper to compensate for the loss of the external combiner. This setting always follows the similar settings in the RM.  Afterwards follows a variable attenuator adjustable through the AI411 front hole marked IN. This attenuator is used to compensate for output power selection of the TR41x.  The signal now enters a double balanced mixer, where the frequency is converted from the TX band to the RX band. A Crystal oscillator running on the RX/TX duplex frequency offset provides the injection signal.  The mixer is followed of a HPF and a buffer amplifier before it reaches the variable output attenuator, accessible from the front of the AI411 through the hole marked OUT. This attenuator is used to compensate for actual cable loss of the TEST feeder going to the TMA.  A combining circuit at the output connector allows the insertion of an external test signal from the BNC connector on the AI411 front plate marked TEST IN.  At the output connector a DC control signal insertion circuit is provided to the TMA, together with an over-voltage arrestor.  From the TNC output connector on the rear of the AI411 the test signal is connected internally in the BS to the N-female TEST connector on the BS top, from where it goes to the TMA in the top of the mast with a feeder similar to the RX feeders.   The TEST input in the TMA is also provided with an over-voltage arrestor and a DC separation circuit.  In the TMA the test signal is divided in two, one for the A-path and one for the B-path. The test signal is then inserted in either the forward direction of the two paths to the BS (-50dBr) or optionally in the reverse direction against the antennas (-40dBr).  The direction is controlled of the DC signal in the TEST feeder and reverse direction can be activated of each of the TR41x, when RX antenna return loss measurement is performed.

The TR412 is an upgraded plug-in replacement for the TR411.    The TR412 is able to run different modulation and protocol types depending on the actual software running on the DSP and controller. The standard TETRA version also support analogue PM modulation for testing purposes, to allow complete testing of a site with analogue test equipment.   4.4.2  Receiver  The receiver contains two completely independent signal paths for dual diversity reception as standard.  Each RX signal comes from the Receiver Multi-coupler system into the TR412 via the TNC connector on the front plate, and is amplified with about 17dB in the RF amplifier, followed of a 3-pole BPF.  The signal now enters 1st mixer, where it is converted down to 1st IF of 45MHz. 1st mixer is a high-level double balanced mixer running with an injection level of +17dBm to obtain a high dynamic range.  The 1st mixer is followed of a 4-pole 45MHz crystal filter, an IF amplifier with about 30dB gain and a second 2-pole crystal filter. The crystal filters are of linear phase type to avoid distortion of the digital modulation.  From the output of the second crystal filter the signal enters 2nd mixer, where it is converted down to 2nd IF of 144kHz. The signal is then amplified and balanced with op-amps before it goes from the RX Front End Board to the Main Board, where it is converted to digital.  The ADC samples the 2nd IF signal of 144kHz directly with a sampling frequency of 576kHz and a resolution of 16bit. The digital signal is going to the DSP on a serial interface.  In the DSP the signal is first down-converted to base-band and is then passing the channel definition filter, which determines the actual bandwidth of the receiver. In TETRA mode the filter is the root-raised cosine filter. Afterwards frame synchronization, diversity combination and demodulation takes place.  The Local Oscillators for the RX is generated on the RX FS board, locked to a 12.8MHz reference coming from the Main Board.  1st LO is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator running either 45MHz below or above the actual receiver frequency. The VCO is phase locked to the 12.8MHz reference with a fractional-N

The VCO signal is amplified to about +23dBm and brought to the RX Front End via the attached cable. Here it is first filtered in a 3-pole ceramic filter before it is split into two +17dBm injection signals for the two 1st mixers.  2nd LO is a Voltage Controlled X-tal Oscillator running on 44.856MHz and this is also phase-locked to the 12.8MHz reference. The signal is amplifier to about +13dBm and brought in another cable to the RX Front End, where it is split into two +7dBm injection signals for the two 2nd mixers.   4.4.3  Transmitter  The transmitter of the TR412 is build around a Cartesian loop to meet the demanding TETRA linearity requirements. The TX signal is generated directly on the transmit frequency to optimize spurious and wide-band noise performance. The transmitter is able to deliver 60Wpep at the output connector of the TR412, equal to 25W TETRA.   The carrier frequency is generated of a Voltage Controlled Oscillator on the actual TX frequency. The VCO is phase locked to the 12.8MHz reference coming from the Main Board with a fractional-N PLL controlled through a serial interface from the MC. The VCO is running independent of whether the TX is keyed.  The output signal from the VCO is amplified to about +23dBm and split into two signals, a +11dBm signal for the I/Q modulator in the forward leg and a +21dBm signal for the I/Q de-modulator in the feedback leg.  The I/Q modulation signals are generated directly of the DSP and send on a serial interface to the dual 16-bit DAC with associated low pass filters. The I/Q signals acts as reference signals for the Cartesian feed-back loop.  After the comparator comes a variable phase circuitry to adjust for the Cartesian loop phase and the loop filter before the modulation is applied to the I/Q modulator. A linear amplifier increases the output level from the Exciter to +14dBm pep.  The Power Amplifier consists of one LDMOS driver and one output transistor, delivering 60W pep output power with good linearity. An attenuator in the input is used to fine adjust the total gain of the Power Amplifier. Both transistors are running in class AB for an optimum compromise between linearity and efficiency and are supplied with +26V DC.  After the PA four directional couplers are provided. A forward and a reverse coupler are used for the Power Meter to allow the display of forward and reflected power. One directional coupler is used to sample the output signal for the RFTL switch, and the last directional coupler is used to take a sample of the output signal for the Cartesian loop feedback.  The feedback signal is brought back to the Exciter in a thin cable. After passing an attenuator to adjust the level it enters the I/Q demodulator, where the signal is converted back to base-band. After the base-band feedback amplifier the signal is compared with the I/Q modulation reference signal from the two DAC.

The linearity is improved with the loop gain of about 40dB to reach the Adjacent Channel Power specification for TETRA of 60dB with good margin.   Hardware and software support is provided for open-loop operation with different modulation types to allow easy adjustment and test of the transmitter.  A dual RMS power detector is provided on the main board to permit the read-out of forward and reflected power from the controller as well as for alarm monitoring.  At the TX output the RF Test Loop switch unit is provided with a BNC connector on the front plate. This allows the controller to activate a test output from the TX with an accurately calibrated level of –40dBr and –50dBr relative to the TX output. In off state the maximum level of –80dBr.   4.4.4  Reference oscillators  The TR412 is normally running fully frequency and time synchronized with the BSC. The synchronization is done with the 2.048MHz, the 8kHz and the 1sec. hardware signals and the 1 sec. HDLC message, all coming from the BSC.  The TR412 contains a 12.8MHz VCXO, which is phase locked to the 2.048MHz input signal. This acts as reference for the RX and TX frequencies.  The TR412 also contains a 36.864MHz VCXO, which is phase locked to the 8kHz input signal. This acts as clock reference for the controller, the DSP and for the ADC and DAC and thereby the TETRA symbol-generation.  The TX and RX TETRA framing is normally time synchronized to the 1-second hardware input signal together with the information provided in the HDLC message. This ensures that all TETRA counters are running synchronized on the whole BS. If GPS synchronization is present on the BSC, it will also run synchronized with surrounding Base Stations.    4.4.5  DSP  The TR412 is provided with a single high performance DSP handling modulation and de-modulation task directly in software. This gives a high degree of freedom to adapt to any changes necessary. When running in TETRA mode the DSP also handles the LMAC and UMAC protocol parts.  The DSP is connected directly via its serial interface to the PCM highway on the back-plane. Four timeslots are reserved for each TR position. All circuit-mode communication is going this way to the PCM switch in the BSC.  The MC is connected to the DSP through its host port and controls its functionality, including software installation and booting. All packed-type communication also passes the host port of the DSP and goes to the BSC via the MC and the HDLC bus.

The MC is provided with 1024kByte segmented FLASH memory, containing all the code for the MC as well as for the DSP. One segment contains the boot program, which is used during start-up and software download from the BSC. A 50-pin connector inside the TR412 allows the insertion of an external boot card, which is needed to update the internal boot section. Two segments of the FLASH memory are used to save the factory and system configuration of the TR412.  One of the MC’s internal HDLC controllers is used to communicate with the BSC via the HDLC bus and carries all message type communication with the BSC, including TETRA messages, packed-type voice and date, O&M and house-keeping.  Its UART is connected to the UART bus giving an alternative way of O&M communication.  The MC is provided with a watchdog, which will make a restart of the TR at improper operation of the software.

The Base Station can run with only one antenna connected. Connecting a second antenna can however give a considerably improvement of the total BS sensitivity, especially under fading conditions. It is therefore highly recommended to make use of the dual diversity receiver feature.  The BS41x runs with a typical TX output power of about 10 W Tetra at the rack connector. Compared with the typical output power of 1W of a handheld mobile station, a difference of about 10dB in the link budget exists between down-link and up-link, if the same RX sensitivity is present.  Considerably effort has been made in the BS41x to improve RX sensitivity to compensate for the low output power of the handheld subscriber units.  The use of an RX Tower Mounted Amplifier removes the influence of the RX feeders, effectively improving the link balance with the loss of the TX feeder, which could be 2 dB for a typical system.  The use of a dual RX antenna diversity system (space diversity) can improve the sensitivity of BS receiver by up to 7 dB and thereby almost compensate for the remaining difference in the link budget.  This application note describes the implemented diversity scheme of the BS41x and gives typical measured sensitivities and diversity improvements under various conditions.    4.5.1  Diversity implementation  The dual diversity system is implemented with two completely independent receive sections from the RX antenna via the TMA, feeder and RX multi-coupler into the carrier unit. In the carrier unit two independent RX sections exists with first and second IF and two Analog-to-Digital converters connected directly to the DSP.  The DSP thereby receives two completely independent RX signals. First it tries to recover the timing synchronization independently of the two signals and to make a signal quality evaluation.  If the two signals are not very different in quality, they will be added and the combined signal will be used to improve the sensitivity.  If the two signals are very different in quality the best signal will be selected and the other signal will not be used. This is done when the addition of the bad signal to the good one reduces the sensitivity.

If the two received signals are close to being uncorrelated, the probability, that a low input signal level is present on both inputs simultaneously becomes low, effectively removing the fading.  The sensitivity will however also be improved under static conditions, when the two signals are fully correlated. Here close to a 3dB improvement in sensitivity is achieved. This is the same result as if the two antennas were combined directly, however without the problem in obtaining the correct phase of the combination.  The gain of combining under static conditions can also be seen from the result of the combining process. If two equal signals are added, the two input signals are added, effectively giving the double input voltage equal to an increase in input signal of 6dB. The noise is also added. However the two noise signals are fully uncorrelated, and adding the power of the two signals only gives an increase in noise of 3dB. The difference between the 6dB and the 3dB gives the resulting improvement of sensitivity under static conditions of 3dB.  The same improvement of 3 dB is achieved if two signals with fully correlated fading are present. When the two received signals become uncorrelated, the sensitivity improvement will increase.  In the following sections graphs are shown with typical measured RX sensitivity improvements under various conditions.                      4.5.2  Diversity gain versus correlation factor  This curve shows the diversity gain (RX sensitivity improvement) for an SCH/F channel (signaling channel) with TU50 fading profile and an MER (Message Error Rate) of 4.7%.

It can run from either mains AC directly, run from a DC battery source or a combination hereof with battery charging.  The different BS versions have space for from 2 to 4 PS411 Power Supply units running in parallel with full power share on all sections. Redundant n+1 operation is provided as all Base Stations can run with full specification with one PS411 out of operation.  All the variants can be connected with an external –48V lead-acid battery and has all the needed circuitry to charge the battery  The PS411 Power Supply contains 4 major parts:    AC Rectifier providing –48V DC   DC/DC converter providing +26VDC (for the TX PA)   DC/DC converter providing +14V DC (for all other BS parts)   Microprocessor (for charging control, monitoring and alarm generation)   The following number of PS411 is needed depending on the number of carriers installed in the Base Station:  Carriers No redundancy N+1 redundancy 1 carrier 1 x PS411 2 x PS411 2 carriers 1 x PS411 2 x PS411 3 carriers 2 x PS411 3 x PS411 4 carriers 2 x PS411 3 x PS411 5 carriers 2 x PS411 3 x PS411 6 carriers 3 x PS411 4 x PS411 7 carriers 3 x PS411 4 x PS411 8 carriers 3 x PS411 4 x PS411    4.6.2  Rectifier  The Rectifier section converts the mains AC input to –48VDC, which can charge the battery and feed the two DC/DC converters. The connection of the battery is optional.  The Rectifier accepts a wide voltage input range, supporting the 3 different standards used worldwide, namely 100V, 115V and 230V. It also accepts both 47Hz and 63Hz. No jumper or setting changes are needed to switch between the variants. However a change of the size of the fuse mounted from the front of the PS411 is needed when changing from 230V to 100/115V. The values are marked on the front plate.  The –48V DC output is fed to a common –48V power rail on the back plane of the cassette. A power sharing circuit ensures close to equal load on all inserted PS411.

When battery charging is active, the delivered output voltage will vary around 54V, controlled of the micro-controller. The accurate value is determined of the charging voltage setting, consisting of a fixed voltage part and an associated temperature compensation setting.  When charging is not selected or the external temperature sensor is not working, the rectifier will deliver 48.0V fixed.  Two different connections are provided on the back plane:   –48V Battery connection  –48V DC external load  The –48V battery connection is provided with a current sensor to measure the actual battery charge/discharge current.  The –48V DC external load connection allows the Base Station to drive external units, e.g. Ethernet switches, E1 modems etc.    4.6.3  +14V and +26V DC/DC converters  The PS411 Power Supply contains two independent DC/DC converters providing +14V and +26V respectively from the –48V DC input.  The outputs are fed to two power rails on the back plane. Independent power-share circuits on each converter ensures about equal load on all inserted PS411.   The input to the two converters comes from the external –48V rail. An internal feed is also provided allowing the converters to run even if the external –48V rail is short-circuiting to ground.  The DC/DC converters are able to run on –48V as provided of the rectifier or an external battery.   The input of the DC/DC converters are provided with an under-voltage detector to turn off the load on the battery when nearly discharged to prevent deeply discharge of the battery, which could affect its lifetime.  The turn-on voltage is about 45V DC and the turn-off voltage about 40V DC. The 5V hysteresis is provided to prevent oscillations between on and off.           4.6.4  Micro-controller

In addition the micro-controller also controls the battery charging voltage.  The PS411 is connected to HDLC-bus in the Base States as well as the serial UART interface. O&M communication is possible on both interfaces.  The PS411 is provided with internal resident settings to hold the charging configurations etc. When used in a BS41x these settings will normally be overwritten of the common configuration received from the active BSC at power-up. The yellow power led on front of the PS411 will flash until the configuration from the BSC is received.
