Microwave RF Repeaters
Overview
Ed Johnson
Vice President – Chief Engineer
Microwave RF Repeaters
 RF repeaters relay
microwave signals
over obstructions like
 Mountains
 Or buildings
 Or use high point to
reach distant towns
 Suited for fixed,
point-to-point
telephone, video,
circuit switched data
and IP packet data
networks
8 Confidential and Proprietary
Microwave RF Repeaters
 Designed for limited access,
remote locations and harsh
weather conditions.

 Economical solar electric


battery power is ideal for
operating repeaters

 5925 ~ 7125 MHz
 30 MHz Ch BW max
 EW: 40 MHz BW
 2 PA Levels
 Low DC Power
 < 30 W
 PA L1 DX Protected
 < 40 W
 PA L2 DX Protected

10 Confidential and Proprietary


Why are RF Repeaters
Needed?
 Microwave path
can not directly reach
the distant end.
 Path is too long, earth
curvature blocks path.
 Terrain between radio
ends is too high and
blocks path.
 New building blocks
the path.

11 Confidential and Proprietary


Why are RF Repeaters
Needed?
 Tall antenna towers
make project cost too
much.
 Long distance path
clearance requires
tall towers.
 Earth bulge, K factor
 High terrain obstruction
 Mid-path RF repeater
station costs less
than tall towers.

Upgraded from 2 GHz to 6 GHz,


Repeater and Feed Horn change
12 Confidential and Proprietary
Why are RF Repeaters
needed?
 Multipath fading
makes long path
unreliable.
 Outage time is
proportional to (path
length, D)3, two shorter
segments are up to
4 times more reliable.
 Direct = D3
 Mid Path Repeater
= (D/2)3 + (D/2)3
= 2D3/8
= D3/4
 Assumes equal
fade margins

Benefits of RF Repeaters
 Simplify radio relay route planning.
 Easy to engineer.
 Site selection is easier than for
back-to-back radios.
 Site engineering and installation requires less work than
for back-to-back radios.
 Improved system reliability.
 Simple equipment is field proven,
extremely reliable.
 Radio paths using RF repeaters are very reliable.
 Improve multi-hop packet data networks.
 Very low latency per RF repeater.
 Very low jitter per RF repeater.
14 Confidential and Proprietary
Benefits of RF Repeaters
 Reduced site costs.
 Outdoor mounted equipment eliminates shelter
requirements in most areas.
 Low maintenance eliminates need for frequent
road access.
 Low power operation reduces mains
power equipment needed.
 Inexpensive to operate.
 Solar and wind power use “free energy”.
 Few components, simple.
 Easy to maintain.
15 Confidential and Proprietary
When should RF Repeaters
be used?
 When the Microwave Path is obstructed or too long.
 When the Radio Relay Station does not require
circuit drops.
 RF Repeaters are “Through Repeaters”.
 When the Radio Relay Station requires simple and
reliable construction.
 Difficult mountain terrain
 No roads
 No electric power lines
 Rapid installation, quick in-service time
 When a remote, unattended station requires highly
reliable equipment and low maintenance.

Relocation and Migration from 2 GHz,
Considerations for RF Repeaters

 Existing path may use an RF repeater.


 Higher frequency band models may be used.
 Higher frequency bands may have worse
propagation.
 Narrower beamwidths are more prone to
decoupling, beam wander.
 Shorter hops work better.
 30 ~ 50 km, 20 ~ 30 mi in 4 to 8 GHz.
 Longer hops can become two shorter hops through
an RF repeater.

17 Confidential and Proprietary


Relocation and Migration from 2 GHz,
Considerations for RF Repeaters

 Higher frequency bands require solid reflector


antennas rather than grids.
 Narrower Beamwidths require stiffer towers.
 RF repeater site may use larger antennas for
isolation requirements and also reduce the
need for larger antennas at the radio terminal
sites.
 Reduce radio terminal site tower upgrade or
replacement costs.
 RF repeater high sites typically use shorter towers.

18 Confidential and Proprietary


Compatibility with radios
 MW RF Repeaters are generally compatible
with most available microwave radios.
Few limitations.
 Primary variables
 Frequency Band
 Point-to-point communications bands, USA, Int’l
 Occupied bandwidth
 Normal channel plans supported
 Modulation
 FM/FSK to 512QAM and COFDM
 Easily adapts to new modulations
 Channel Bandwidth and Linear Power Setting

19 Confidential and Proprietary


Compatibility with radios,
Modes and Functions supported

 Linear RF Repeaters are able to support a


wide range of modes and functions found in
modern radio equipment.
 Automatic Transmit Power Control, ATPC
 Adaptive Coding and Modulation, ACM
 Dual Polarization, Co-Frequency, XPIC
 Traffic modes: TDM, ATM, SONET, SDH, PDH, IP-Packet,
Mixed TDM & IP-Packet/Ethernet
 Video modes: Digital, Standard Definition, High Definition

20 Confidential and Proprietary


Packet Data, Ethernet and IP
Applications
 Linear RF Repeaters are compatible with
advanced microwave radio equipment
supporting packet data traffic. RF Repeater’s
“transparency” continues to maintain
compatibility as technology advances.
 Packet data is sensitive to network latency or
propagation delay.
 RF Repeaters offer very low latency.
 100 ~ 150 nanoseconds typical per repeater
 Equivalent to 0.150 microseconds or 0.00015 ms
