  • Page 129: Base Station And Cell

    System Introduction Base Station and Cell A base station is able to communicate with any mobile telephone within a certain area close to it. This area is called a cell. The base station contains channel units. Each channel unit is equipped with a radio transmitter, a radio receiver, and a control unit.
  • Page 130: Radio Coverage

    System Introduction Radio Coverage The coverage (or the transmitting power) of the base station is adjusted to the amount of traffic, so less power is used in cities and other areas where the traffic is heavy. The covered area in these cases may be limited to about two kilometers. More power is permissible in less populated areas.
  • Page 131: Transmission Control And Communication

    System Introduction In order to reduce the risk of interference still further, and to remove noise, the sys- tem uses the compander technique. Basically, this method improves the signal/noise ratio of the radio channel by compressing the signal before transmission, and expanding the signal on reception.
  • Page 132: Quality Control

    System Introduction If the mobile telephone makes a call, a call request will be sent to the area base sta- tion, which will select a voice channel and direct the mobile to the selected channel. As in the previous case, the call will be transmitted over the selected voice channel, until a zone boundary is passed.

The 900MHz band has been divided into an upper and a lowerband. The lower sub- band, 872.0125 - 904.9875MHz, covers the 1320 transmitting channels in the hand- held telephone, while the upper sub-band, 917.0125 - 949.9875MHz, covers the corresponding 1320 receiving channels.

    Technical Description Hard Limit A +13.5 dB gain hard limit follows the pre-emphasis block in the transmit audio path in order to limit the maximum audio level out of the ASIC and into the modula- tor block. Transmit Lowpass Filter A 3 kHz lowpass filter follows the hard limit to filter out the harmonic components caused by clipping in the hard limit.
  • Page 175 Technical Description RX and TX Sat Circuits RX SAT Filter A 6 kHz bandpass filter is included to capture the received SAT tone from the com- posite received audio signal RX SAT Schmit Trigger The filtered SAT signal is then amplified and routed to a schmit trigger circuit in ANTON where it is squared up and driven to GUSTAV as a digital signal.
  • Page 176 Technical Description Software Design Power Down Control All voltage regulators are on all the time when in SLEEP, STAND BY and TRANS- MIT mode. The operation modes of ANTON and BERTINDY are software control- led directly from GUSTAV through the serial interface. Timing and Operation In the ETACS system it is most important that a well working sleep function can be implemented as this will increase the standby time by several hours.
