DSPbR Series – User’s Manual 2. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION. 2.1 Application The RF Industries DSPbR (Digital Signal Processor based Repeater) Series is designed as a multi-channel, multi-band expandable rebroadcast repeater/booster used for extending network coverage in either outdoor or indoor applications.
Page 11
DSPbR Series – User’s Manual that the gain through the repeater can be considerably increased and the cell extension afforded greater coverage and signal strength. A useful feature using this technology is the choice of setting receiver gating on a respective channel. This can be set to open above a fixed dBm input level, or at a pre-determined level above a dynamic input noise level or simply disabled keeping the receiver channel open.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual Modular Construction The DSPbR hardware is modular in construction and designed to provide exceptional installation and channel expansion efficiency, allowing hot-swappable hardware upgrades to increase the number of repeater channels up to a maximum of eight bi-directional channels or up to 16 separate transmitters in a single 19” 4RU sub rack frame.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual Each RFBE and corresponding BPFM module is internally partitioned into Side “A” and Side “B”, effectively providing two RFBE’s per RFBE module. The BPFM must correspond in terms of frequency compatibility with the RFBE. Fitting both sides of the module with RFBE’s is optional and dependent on the required configuration and prospect of future expandability and upgradability.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual This allows for various options of combiners to be selected and optimised for the frequency combinations in use. A Through Line Module (TLM) can be used to extend the output of a RFBE to the rear of the sub rack frame without incurring the additional loss of a BPFM.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual 2.3 Product Specifications The DSPbR Series repeater is designed for configuration in a number of popular bands. RFFE and RFBE modules with corresponding BPFM’s for both up and downlinks are currently available in the following RF bands; 400-420MHz, 450-470MHz, 470-490MHz, 805-825MHz and 850-870MHz RF Industries will be adding bands to the current list during our program of continued development.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual 3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION. 3.1 General The DSPbR Series repeater is based on the use of a DSP engine to provide unprecedented flexibility in providing software defined channel specific filter profiles, channel characteristic parameter configuration and alarm reporting.
Page 19
DSPbR Series – User’s Manual Please note that there will be a state change on start-up as the relays are energised and held. Relay “1” is activated on notification of any major alarm and relay “2” is activated on notification of any minor alarm.
Appendix “A” Slot Architecture - Typical Configurations. 3.3 Modules The DSPbR Series repeater has been designed on a modular level and as such the modules are configurable to essentially cater for power supply and band options with channel expandability.
