IRF-800
1. Overview
The IRF-800 (High Power RF Repeater), a system for solving the areas where
wireless phone calls are impossible, is a RF-type repeater that is designed to
cover radio shaded area such as wide-open areas and large underground
shopping centers.

HPA IF-Module LNA

Basically, the Forward Path and Reverse Path are configured with same blocks as
you can see above block diagram.
For Forward Path, the input RF signal received from donor antenna passes through
ARR (Arrestor) and DPX (Duplexer), reaches to the LNA (Low Noise Amplifier)
where the signal is amplified with low noise figure.
The output signal from LNA is sent to the IF-Module that amplifies and attenuates
signal to get proper drive output power and also provides sharp other band
rejection with SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filter.
After IF-Module, signal goes to the HPA (High Power Amplifier), which is to provide
enough high output power level.
This output power passes through DPX and ARR, and final RF output is emitted to
the air via service antenna.
A 30dB coupling port is provided to monitor output power.
The process of Reverse Path is same as that of Forward Path except frequency
difference.
2.1 Forward Path
① Donor Antenna Port
Forward path signal is comes from antenna via Donor Antenna.
② Donor Lightning Arrestor
Arrestor is used for lightning protection of repeater. Loss of arrestor
is about 0.2dB below.
③ Donor Duplexer
Loss of this module is about 0.8dB. This can combine Tx (Forward)
and Rx (Reverse) signal for one antenna use. Also, Isolation between
two signals is about 110dB above.
④ TX-LNA
Received signal is amplified 40dB with low noise at this module. So,
output signal level will be –11dBm in case of –51dBm input level.
(P1dB=+21dBm, IP3=+36dBm, NF=1dB)
⑤ TX_IF-Module
Max Gain Setting is 12dB. If output power level of LNA is –11dBm,
Gain should be set to 7dB (Total Gain of Repeater=90dB). So, output
will be -4dBm. Also, if the output power of LNA module is –61dBm,
then, the output power of Tx_IF-module will be –49dBm, Gain=12dB
(Total Gain of Repeater=95dB).
⑥ 16Watt HPA Module
The gain of HPA is 45dB. Actually, 16Watt (+42dBm) HPA will be
used for 10Watt (+40dBm) output at service output port of repeater.
Also, the output power at the HPA is -4dBm for –49dBm input.
⑦ Service Duplexer
Loss of this module is about 0.8dB. This can combine Tx (Forward)
and Rx (Reverse) signal for one antenna use. Also, Isolation between
two signals is about 100dB above.
⑧ Service Lightning Arrestor
Arrestor is used for lightning protection of repeater. Loss of arrestor
is about 0.2dB below.
⑨ Service Antenna Port & Monitoring Port
Max Output RF power of repeater at service antenna port is 10Watt.
Also, 30dB Monitoring port is equipped for Tx signal monitoring.
2.2 Reverse Path
① Service Antenna Port
Reverse path signal is comes from antenna via Service Antenna.
② Service Lightning Arrestor
Arrestor is used for lightning protection of repeater. Loss of arrestor
is about 0.2dB below.
③ Service Duplexer
Loss of this module is about 0.8dB. This can combine Tx (Forward)
and Rx (Reverse) signal for one antenna use. Also, Isolation between
two signals is about 100dB above.
④ RX-LNA
Received signal is amplified 40dB with low noise at this module. So,
output signal level will be –11dBm in case of –51dBm input level.
(P1dB=+21dBm, IP3=+36dBm, NF=1dB)
⑤ RX_IF-Module
Max Gain Setting is 12dB. If output power level of LNA is –11dBm,
Gain should be set to 4dB (Total Gain of Repeater=87dB). So, output
will be -7dBm. Also, if the output power of LNA module is –71dBm,
then, the output power of Rx _IF-module will be –59dBm, Gain=12dB
(Total Gain of Repeater=95dB).
⑥ 8Watt HPA Module
The gain of HPA is 45dB. Actually, 8Watt (+38dBm) HPA will be
used for 5Watt (+37dBm) output at service output port of repeater.
Also, the output power at the HPA is -14dBm for –59dBm input.
⑦ Donor Duplexer
Loss of this module is about 0.8dB. This can combine Tx (Forward)
and Rx (Reverse) signal for one antenna use. Also, Isolation between
two signals is about 110dB above.
⑧ Donor Lightning Arrestor
Arrestor is used for lightning protection of repeater. Loss of arrestor
is about 0.2dB below.
⑨ Donor Antenna Port & Monitoring Port
Max Output RF power of repeater at donor antenna port is 5Watt.
Also, 30dB Monitoring port is equipped for Rx signal monitoring.
