DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONS 2.4.1 General information The function of the IDR IDO 3G is to set up communications between TETRAPOL radio terminals placed under its radio coverage, referred to as a radio cell. The cell depends on the antenna, the transmission power and the frequency used. To communicate, the IDR IDO 3G and the terminals must first be configured (manufacturer procedure): •...
(Plate 6.V) 2.4.2 Repeater chain 2.4.2.1 Overview The function of the repeater chain is to transmit signals sent by the transmission terminal to other terminals under the coverage of the IDR IDO 3G. The repeater chain comprises a transmission and a reception chain. Certain sub-assemblies are used for both transmission and reception mode.
The amplified RF signal is then transmitted to the insulator. The function of the insulator is: • to transmit the incoming power to the duplexer, with a minimum of loss, • to direct the reflected power to the 50 Ω load of the 3G PA-TRX module. The duplexer then routes the RF signal to the antenna which transmits it to the terminals.
2.4.3.2 Distribution From the power supply source, the primary convertor generates the + 48 V and + 12V regulated voltages: • AC sources : 100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz voltage, • external DC source : 12 or 24 V DC voltage (limits 10.8 to 31.2 V DC). 2.4.3.2.1 + 12 V distribution The primary convertor's + 12 V voltage is provided as soon as it is powered up.
2.4.3.3 Monitoring The self-protective actions of the sub-assemblies are as follows: • for the primary converter: in case of excess temperature (> + 95 °C), the converter switches off automatically. • for the synchronisation board: ⇒ - collects the fan alarms FAN alarm, ⇒...
