D&W Double System Opctic Repeater User’s Manual Version: 1.0

Figure 3-10 Query Downlink Output Power


Cautions: Repeater comes with power detection function, without spectrum analyzer and other equipment
can be relatively accurately measure the uplink and downlink power. The downlink input and output power is be
detected actually. Uplink output power due to the general case will be relatively small and is burst signal, the
power value be queried may be an indeterminate value.

3.2.7 Adjust the Uplink and Downlink Gain(remote1 set)

Before setting the uplink and downlink attenuation values, it is best to perform query operations uplink
and downlink attenuation value, to provide data reference for the next setting.( The greater the attenuation
values is, the lower the gain is).
To set up the uplink and downlink attenuation value, firstly select the check boxes of “UL ATT value” and
“DL ATT value” on “parameter settings” tab, and then input attenuation value in the "Set value" column after
the "UL ATT value" and "DL ATT value"(As shown in Figure 3-11), then click the "Set" button.(Unit of
attenuation value is: dB)

Figure 3-11

16
D&W Double System Opctic Repeater User’s Manual Version: 1.0

Adjusted Downlink Attenuation Values


According to querying results of "downlink output power", adjusted downlink attenuation values. If the
output power is high, then increase in downlink attenuation values, if the output power is low, and then
reduce downlink attenuation values. Output power relate to power level of equipment and the base station
carrier frequency number. For example: When a set of 10W Repeater work with a set of four carrier
frequency base station, when the four-carrier frequency are all working, Repeater output power is the
maximum——10W, if only one carrier frequency is working, the results of the query should be
2.5W——34dBm, if it is higher than this number should increase downlink attenuation values.

Factory settings: The downlink attenuation value is 0dB.


Adjust Uplink Attenuation Values
After the Repeater power on, check whether the uplink signal interfere with the base station signals, if
so, increase in uplink attenuation values. Test Call quality in not interfere with the base station, if the call is
not good, you can try to reduce the uplink attenuation value to increase the uplink receiver sensitivity. The
premise is not interfering base station.
Factory settings: The uplink attenuation value is 0dB.

abnormal working; Use "Test Phone" and "Dedicated Test Line" measure the received signal strength of
"donor antenna", if it is very small, then the donor side may change or feed source has been broken.
2. Failure phenomenon: Weak signal in coverage area, but monitoring software displays "downlink
power" is the full power.
Processing steps: There are two reasons for analysis: First is, receives the downlink signal is too strong,
and then adjust the angle of the "outdoor antenna" to decrease the strength of received signal. Second is,
donor and transponder antenna isolation is not enough cause that Donor Antenna and Transponder Antenna
signal mutual channeling each other, in this case, you should change the difference in height between the
donor antenna and transponder antenna, or increase the distance between the donor antenna and the
transponder antenna, achieve the purposes of increasing isolation between donor antenna and transponder
antenna. If the above methods do not solve the problem, you need to add an attenuator between the
"Repeater " and "outdoor antenna", or reduce the equipment gain.
