  • Page 5: Chapter 1. Overview

    General Information The Peninsula Engineering Solutions’ RF-7000E and RF-7000EL Microwave RF Repeaters, hereafter referred to as the RF-7000E (or the repeater), is a linear, bi-directional, on-frequency RF repeater for microwave point-to-point networks. The RF-7000E may be used with any manufacturer's compatible 7-GHz radio operating in the 7.1-7.9 GHz frequency range to provide an intermediate...
  • Page 6: Functional Description

    Functional Description 1. The RF-7000E assembly is an RF through repeater designed for remote locations. Little alignment is required, and the use of highly reliable components and minimum active circuitry eliminates most subsequent maintenance. The repeater assembly consists of an equipment mounting panel, contained in an aluminum, weatherproof, enclosure.
  • Page 7: Directional Couplers

    Power Supply 12. The only active element in each frequency channel of the RF-7000E assembly is the amplifier which operates from a +13.5 VDC source. Current requirements are 1.15 Amperes maximum per standard power Level 1 amplifier and 1.95 Amperes maximum for higher power Level 2 amplifiers.
  • Page 8: Alarms

    Primary cell batteries capable of powering an RF-7000E repeater in excess of a year may be used. In such applications, the battery installation should be given an environmental shelter according to the manufactures’...

  • Page 15: Table 4 Transmit Power Backoff Per Modulation Type

    For Example: Level 2 Amplifier Power Output = +30 dBm without backoff reduction, Modulation is 256QAM, therefore backoff = 13.0 dB, RF-7000E-41 Tx Branch Loss = 2.6 dB,. Output power at antenna port flange = +30.0 – 13.0 – 2.6 = +14.4 dBm.
