4. Major Function
Auto Level Control
Adjust Max gain level to make Downlink Output level is not over +20dBm 1dB,
Control MAX Gain value 45 ~ 75dB.

AGD Mode
-. FWD Gain is linked to RVS Gain
-. If ON : FWD/RVS gain is linked
-. If Off : FWD/RVS gain is not linked
AGD Offset
- Difference between FWD Gain and RVS Gain

4. Major Function
Automatic Shutdown

If Downlink/Uplink Output level is over +22dBm1dB for 5 sec, Repeater

Downlink and Uplink is Shutdown for 5 sec .
This auto-shutdown algorithm can repeat 3 times
Operator can adjust the times of ASD algorithm and duration of overpower shutdown
period.

5. Coverage Simulation

- Define : The distance of -65dBm received signal

power to mobile handset
- Coverage area: Total 1,000m2 (at WCMA 850)
- Connectable 2~4 service antennas
- Considered -15dB as barrier loss
- Typically received signal sensitivity of mobile
handset is -104dBm
(GSM, DCS, CDMA, WCDMA)
- Coverage can be expanded with more service antenna
