Fusion SingleStar Installation Procedures
To prevent either of these conditions, use the following guidelines:
• In-band 800 iDEN intermodulation products < -90dBm
• Lower frequency 800 iDEN signals < –30dBm for Unison
Given a typical DAS configuration (4 iDEN carriers, omni-directional antennas, line
of sight), these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d1) of 6 – 9 meters.
850 MHz Cellular Downlink & 900 MHz iDEN Uplink
A 2 MHz frequency gap (896 – 894 MHz) separates the 850 Cellular downlink and
900 iDEN uplink frequency bands. Because of this narrow spacing, 850 Cellular
downlink intermodulation products may fall within the 900 iDEN uplink band. In
addition, 850 Cellular downlink signals near the upper edge of the band at 894 MHz
may cause the 900 iDEN uplink ALC to engage and thereby reduce uplink gain.
To prevent either of these conditions, use the following guidelines:
• In-band 850 Cellular intermodulation products < -90dBm
• Upper frequency 850 Cellular signals < –30dBm for Unison
Given a typical DAS configuration (6 CDMA carriers for Unison, omni-directional
antennas, line of sight), these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d2) of 8-14
meters.
Connecting the Antenna to the RAU
Connect a passive multi-band antenna to the N connector on the RAU using coaxial
cable with the least amount of loss possible.
CAUTION:
Firmly hand-tighten the N connector – DO NOT
over-tighten the connector.
Connecting the CATV Cable
Considerations:
• Verify that the cable has been tested and the test results are recorded. This informa-
tion is required for the As-Built Document.
• Verify that only captive centerpin F connectors are used on the solid copper center
conductor CATV 75 Ohm cable.
• Verify that the CATV cable is labeled with:
• Fusion SingleStar Hub port number being used
• RAU identifier
• Carrier (for multiple operator systems)
To connect the CATV cable:
