Section 1 General Description

1-1 Introduction
This manual contains information and procedures for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Powerwave OS-1900-SA(X) and OS-1900-SB(X) Outdoor Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier (MCPA) System. The manual is organized into sections as follows: Section 1. Section 2. Section 3. Section 4. General Description Installation Operating Instructions Principles of Operation
Section 5. Section 6. Appendix A. Appendix B. Maintenance Troubleshooting Specifications Amplifier Power Setting Procedure
1-2 General Description

The OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier (MCPA) system is an AC powered, linear, feedforward power amplifier system that operates in the 60 MHz frequency band from 1930 MHz to 1990 MHz with an instantaneous bandwidth of 25 MHz. It consists of: One or more outdoor enclosure assemblies. SA(X) Three Models: SA1 one enclosure, one sector SA2 one enclosure, two sectors SA3 two enclosures, three sectors SB(X) Three Models: SB1 one enclosure, one sector SB2 two enclosures, one sector each SB3 three enclosures, one sector each One or more model G3S-1900-125 amplifiers. One or more model 930-00016-008, 125-Amp or 930-00018-005, 148-Amp rectifiers.
Designed for outdoor use, the NEMA 3R rated enclosure has a sturdy aluminum case with removable front and rear lock-down ventilating panels as shown in figures 1-1 through 1-6. The enclosures has six mounting brackets (three on each side) used to secure it to its predetermined location. Access to the RF, power, and alarm cabling is located at the lower rear of the enclosure. The enclosure protects the Powerwave equipment from outdoor elements as well as housing the alarm summary board and the electrical interface for the 125-Amp rectifier (or 148-Amp rectifier) and G3S-1900-125 MCPA(s). The OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) system is shown in figures 1-7 and 1-8.
1-2.1 SA(X) Models

For a single-sector SA1 model, the enclosure houses one G3S-1900-125 MCPA module. Two modules are required for a two-sector solution (SA2 with two MCPAs). A three-sector solution consists of one two-sector (SA2) enclosure and an additional enclosure containing one MCPA module with DC power supplied from the two-sector enclosure that includes an additional rectifier. Each enclosure can contain the following: Up to two MCPA modules. Up to two 125-Amp or 148-Amp rectifiers (not mixed). Four input duplexers. Two universal input assemblies with DC fans.
1-1
June 2004

Two universal controllers. Two integrated output duplexer/RX filter assemblies. Four bypass transfer switches. Four Bias-T units.
1-2.2 SB(X) Models

The SB(X) models are the same as the SA1 models except a third antenna configuration is incorporated that includes an additional duplexer, 2:1 splitter for Rx1 and Rx3, bypass transfer
switch, and Bias-T. The interface panel also includes additional connections for the third antenna. Each enclosure is identical therefore, a one-sector system consists of one single-sector enclosure, two sectors consist of two single-sector enclosures, and three sectors consist of three single-sector enclosures.
1-2.3 Amplifiers
The all solid-state G3S-1900-125 plug-in amplifier module, shown in figures 1-9 and 1-10, is designed to produce high-peak output power. The modular construction and Light Emitting Diode (LED) based operational status and fault indicators help minimize downtime. The turn-on and turn-off sequence of voltages are fully automatic, as is overload protection and recycling. Inadvertent operator damage from front panel manipulation is virtually impossible. A nominal 52 Amps DC of current is required for the G3S-1900-125 amplifier.
1-2.4 Universal Control Module

A universal control module (UCM), one for each sector, is connected to one UCM junction board, shown in figures 1-11 and 1-12. Each UCM provides system status LED indicators, configuration switches, RS232 PC port, and gain adjustment potentiometer.
1-2.5 Rectifiers
The 125-Amp and 148-Amp rectifiers and associated subracks shown in figures 1-13 through 116, require a primary input power between 176 to 264 VAC. The rectifier converts the AC input power to the +27 VDC for use by the system. The 125-Amp rectifier is rated up to 24 Amps AC at full load at 176 VAC and the 148-Amp rectifier is rated up to 25.5 Amps AC at full load at 180 VAC. The system is expected to draw a typical 17 Amps AC during normal operation with two amplifiers. For circuit breaker protection, refer to section 2 and appendix A - Specifications.
1-2.6 Alarms
The OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) MCPA system also provides four Form-C dry contact alarms per sector to report system status when the optional alarm board is installed. See section 2.
1-2.7 Functional and Physical Specifications

Functional and physical specifications for the OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) system components are listed in appendix A. Section 4 of this manual contains a functional block diagram that illustrates the systems operational layout for one sector.
1-2.8 Equipment Changes

Powerwave Technologies, Inc. reserves the right to make changes to the subject equipment, including but not necessarily limited to component substitution and circuits. Changes that impact this manual may subsequently be incorporated in later revisions.

Section 2 Installation
2-1 Introduction
This section contains unpacking, inspection, installation instructions and recommendations for the OS-1900-SA(X) and OS-1900-SB(X) Outdoor Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier (MCPA) System. It is important to perform the following: 1. 2. 3. Carefully read all material in this section prior to equipment installation. Review any Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and local codes as they apply to your installation. Before operating, read the operating instructions in section 3.
2-2 Site Survey

Powerwave Technologies recommends that site surveys be performed by qualified individuals or firms prior to equipment ordering or installation. Performing a detailed site survey will reduce or eliminate installation and turn-up delays caused by oversights. Table 2-1 Site Preparation Description Measurement Width: 15.87 inches Height: 34 inches Depth: 34 inches Allow adequate clearances in the front and rear of the enclosure for cooling airflow. 120 lbs (without amplifiers) 231 lbs (45 lbs/amplifier, one 21 lb rectifier) 221.5 lbs (45 lbs/amplifier, one 13.5 lb rectifier)

2-3 Electrical Service Recommendations

Powerwave Technologies recommends that proper AC line conditioning and surge suppression be provided on the primary AC input to the +27 VDC power source. All electrical service should be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, any applicable state or local codes, and good engineering practice. Special consideration should be given to lightning protection of all systems in view of the vulnerability of most transmitter sites to lightning. Lightning arrestors are recommended in the service entrance. Straight, short ground runs are recommended. The electrical service must be well grounded. Each amplifier system should have its own circuit breaker, so a failure in one does not shut off the whole installation. Circuit breakers should be capable of handling the anticipated inrush current, in a load center with a master switch. A 30-Amp AC circuit breaker using 10 AWG power cable for each rectifier is recommended for 220 VAC input service.

According to the laws of probability used to formulate Erlang tables, rarely are all channels transmitting at the same time. We can use Erlang tables to predict typical maximum current usage. Table 2-2 describes the current load for a 3-sector (70%), 2-sector (80%), omni (90%), and typical (100%) site using G3S-1900-125 model amplifiers. Battery backup or UPS systems should be installed in remote sites or in sites which experience brownout conditions or generator switchovers. Adding this equipment should eliminate the need for site visits by technicians after brownouts or power outages. Battery backup systems also provide excellent DC filtering as a side benefit. Table 2-2 Averaged DC Current Load (Amperes; 125 Watt) (typical, based on % of output power @ 26 VDC) No. Of 3-Sector (70%) 2-Sector (80%) 1-Sector (90%) Amplifiers Averaged Current Averaged Current Averaged Current 142 3 94 99 102 2 47 49 51 1

2-4 Heat Disipation

Air conditioning of this Powerwave equipment is not required unless this equipment is installed in interior location (i.e. an equipment closet inside of a building). Each G3S-1900-125 amplifier generates 4364 BTUs typical (4364 BTUs max) of heat at full power. A fully populated OS-1900-SA2 enclosure (two-sectors) operating at full power generates 8,727 BTUs of heat typically. A single sector OS-1900-SB(X) enclosure operating at full power generates 4364 BTUs. Forced ambient air over the amplifier heat sinks dissipates the generated heat to the outside of the enclosure. To ensure the required airflow, the front and rear panel filter assemblies must be cleaned periodically (refer to section 6). Sufficient free space surrounding the enclosure is required to effectively cool the amplifiers (refer to table 2-1). In keeping with section 2-3, table 2-3 lists the heat loading for a 3-sector (70%), 2-sector (80%), omni (90%), and typical (100%) site using both G3S-1900-125 model amplifiers.

OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) Installation and Service Manual 2-6.1 Chassis Mounting Examples

The OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) enclosures can be installed in a variety of mounting configurations as shown in figure 2-2. Because of this, specific procedures are not provided herein. This general procedure assumes the enclosure is already sized and installed to accommodate the weight of the Powerwave and all other equipment contained therein. The following installation procedure assumes that you are using the rectifier supplied by Powerwave. If you choose to use your own rectifier system, do not connect the 220 VAC power to the Powerwave rectifier. Mount the enclosure onto its designated location. Verify that sufficient space to slide the modules in and out is available and that the air intake and exhaust vents are not blocked. The side located mounting bracket with bolt size requirements is shown in figure 2-1.

OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) Installation and Service Manual 2-6.2 Wind Loading

Wind resistance calculations are in accordance with the guidelines contained in Telecordia Technologies, Inc., Electronic Equipment Cabinets, Detailed Requirements Document GR-487-CORE, Issue 1, June 1996, and can be calculated using the following formula: P = 0.05 WH Where: P = force applied to cabinet, pounds W = cabinet width, inches H = cabinet height, inches The calculated wind loading on the OS 1900-SA(X)/SB(X) box with a wind speed of 100 mph and no form factor (FF) is the following: Side Load = 196 lbs. (392 lbs with FF) Frontal Load = 87 lbs. (174 lbs. with FF) When a form factor is accounted for, the worst case loading effectively doubles the above loadings. The form factor depends on mounting location, topography and drag coefficient of the equipment. According to the UBC (Uniform Building Code), the form factor must be accounted for.
2-6.3 RF Cable Connections

All cable connections are made on the bottom of the rear panel shown in figure 2-3. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Connect the duplexed RF in (BTS - TX1/RX1) cable on the OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) to the duplexed output of the host equipment. Connect the diversity RF in (BTS - TX2/RX2) cable on the OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) to the diversity output of the host equipment.

Warning Verify that the rectifier switch is in the off position. Turn off external primary AC power before connecting AC power cables.
1.
Insert the 125-Amp rectifier in the left rectifier slot. Secure the rectifier in place by latching the front panel lever on the lower front panel as shown in figure 2-9. This technique ensures that the locking mechanism catches against the enclosure frame. Check your work before applying AC voltage to the system. Make certain all connections are tight and correct. Turn on the AC power to the rectifier and measure the primary AC input voltage. AC input voltage should be 176 to 264 VAC, 24 Amps AC (when the rectifier is on). If the AC input voltage is above or below the limits, call and consult an electrician before you turn on your amplifier system. Turn on the rectifier and measure the primary DC output voltage for +27 VDC 1.0 VDC. If the DC output voltage is above or below the limits, use the front panel adjustment potentiometer to set the voltage (reference figure 1-13).

Warning Turn off external primary AC power before connecting AC power cables and installing the rectifier unit into the OS-1900 enclosure.
1.
Before installing rectifier, use flat head screw driver and turn locking screw, located in the upper right-hand corner, fully clockwise, so the latch is pointing down, as shown in figure 28, Example A. With the latch pointing down, insert the 148-Amp rectifier in the rectifier slot until it seats into its mating connectors. Using the flat head screwdriver, turn the locking screw counterclockwise until latch is in the fully locked position as shown in figure 2-8, Example B. This ensures that the locking mechanism catches against the enclosure frame. Check your work before applying AC voltage to the system. Make certain all connections are tight and correct. Turn on the AC power circuit breaker to the rectifier and measure the primary AC input voltage. AC input voltage should be 176 to 264 VAC, 24 Amps AC (when the rectifier is on). If the AC input voltage is above or below the limits, call and consult an electrician before you turn on your amplifier system. Measure the rectifier primary DC output voltage for +27 VDC 1.0 VDC. If the DC output voltage is above or below the limits, contact Powerwave for assistance.

1. 2. Turn off AC power to the enclosure. Inspect the 21-pin D-Sub male combo connector on the rear of the amplifier before installing it in the enclosure. Verify that all pins are straight, no pins are recessed, and that the alignment shield is not bent. Caution Do not slam the amplifier into the enclosure. Forcing the amplifier into the enclosure at too fast a rate may cause the pins on the 21-pin D-sub connector of the amplifier to become recessed or broken.
3.
After verifying that the front panel power RF OFF/ON/RESET switch is in the OFF position, gently install the plug-in amplifier module in the enclosure. Tighten top and bottom thumbscrews. Refer to section 3 of this manual for initial turn-on and checkout procedures. Do not install weatherproofing materials to the cables until after the power setting procedure is completed.
4. 5.
2-6.10 Air flow Panels

When removing or switching enclosure system components, ensure that the air flow panels shown in figure 1-8 and 1-9 are replaced or reinstalled in the empty spaces to maintain the proper cooling air flow for optimum system performance.
2-6.11 DC Power Connections for OS-1900-SA(X) Three-Sector System

Two examples of DC interconnections for a three-sector OS-1900-SA(X) system are shown in figure 2-9. Each example uses a different rectifier with the inch diameter +27 VDC and DC RETURN studs in different locations. It is recommended that a inch conduit be installed between enclosures and #6 AWG cable be used for the DC connections between enclosures. Each connection must be secured using the appropriate terminal lug and existing hardware. Also refer to figures 2-6 and 2-7 for location of the rectifier connections. When using two rectifiers in the same enclosure, the AC cable should be protected with a 50-Amp AC minimum circuit breaker. Caution The two rectifiers must be installed in the same enclosure that contains the two amplifiers (two sectors). Failure to do this could cause thermal problems resulting in system shutdown.

Name RF ON Switch Three-position switch: Off (down position) - Turns off amplifier module. On (center position) - Normal amplifier on position. Reset (up position) - When toggled to reset position, all red LED indicators turn on one at a time in sequence followed by all the green indicators one at a time in sequence; this also resets the fault latches. If the switch is held in the reset position, a microcontroller reset occurs and is verified by the LEDs toggling state again. When released, the spring-loaded switch returns to the normal ON position. If a fault occurs and the MCPA is disabled, a reset clears the alarms and enables the MCPA. The functions of the switch are disabled for five seconds after a power-up condition. Function

OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) Installation and Service Manual 3-3.3 Dip Switch Functions

The dip switches for the LNA, Fans, and Rectifier cause the UCM to monitor each of these components for fault alarms when the switch is in the On position (right-most position) See figure 3-2. In addition, the LNA switch controls whether the LNA port voltage is on or off. The LNA port can source either 12 or 15 VDC (factory programmed) and 150 mA of current. Note that third-party LNAs may be installed in the system, and are not monitored or controlled by the UCM. For this system, Fan0 and Fan1 switches are set to Off. The Bypass switch allows manual bypass of the MCPA when the switch is in the right-most position. When the switch is in the left-most position (Off), the UCM controls operational mode of the MCPA bypass relays, based on the MCPAs operational status.
3-3.4 TX Gain Adjust

The UCM controls the transmit gain of the system via the voltage variable attenuator in the UIA module. The UIA provides from 45 to 65 dB of attenuation to the applied signals, therefore, providing 20 dB of dynamic range. Transmit gain is at minimum when the front panel potentiometer is fully counter-clockwise.

4-1 Introduction
This section contains a functional description of the Powerwave OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) Indoor/Outdoor Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier (MCPA) System. Refer to figures 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3 for the system and amplifier module block diagrams. A complete OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) system consists of a one, two, or three-sector configuration that includes up to three G3S-1900-125 MCPA, 125-Watt amplifiers and up to two 125-Amp or 148-Amp, 220 VAC AC to +27 VDC rectifiers, and one or two indoor/outdoor enclosures. RF Input is from the BTS to the BDA Tx and Rx ports. Transmit is separated from receive, then all transmit signals are combined, amplified, duplexed, then transmit and receive are combined and provided to the antenna port. The control assembly monitors the MCPA, TMA, and rectifier, and reports alarms via the Form-C interface. The interface point for the RF IN, RF OUT, AC input power and monitor (I/O) cables are located at the enclosure bottom rear. The amplifier module is provided with a separate DC input line via an internal wiring harness. The rectifier requires a 30 Amp AC breaker (minimum), even though the rectifier is expected to draw 17 Amps AC nominal during normal operation with two 125-Watt amplifiers.
4-2 RF Input Signal

One to 10 CDMA carriers compliant with ANSI-J-STD-019. The maximum input power for all carrier frequencies should not exceed the limits specified in appendix A. The input VSWR should be 2:1 maximum (or better).
4-3 RF Output Load

The load impedance should be as good as possible (1.5:1 or better) in the working band for good power transfer to the load. If the amplifier is operated into a filter, it will maintain its distortion characteristics outside the signal band even if the VSWR is infinite, provided the reflected power does not exceed one watt. A parasitic signal of less than one-watt incident on the output will not cause distortion at a higher level than the normal forward distortion (i.e. -63 dBc).
4-4 System Functional Description

The G3S-1900-125 amplifier is a linear, feedforward power amplifier that operates in the 60 MHz frequency band from 1930 MHz to 1990 MHz. It is designed to operate in two continuous frequency blocks in the PCS band or an instantaneous bandwidth of 20 MHz. A typical one-sector system is shown in figure 4-1 and 4-2. The power output specification is listed in appendix A. Each amplifier is a self-contained plug-in module and is functionally independent of the other amplifier module. The amplifier modules are designed for parallel operation to achieve high peak power output, and for redundancy in unmanned remote locations. Each amplifier in the system can simultaneously transmit multiple carrier frequencies at 90 watts per sector Each amplifier output is an amplified composite signal of approximately 125 watts before losses. All phase and gain corrections are performed on the signal(s) in the individual amplifier modules. Each amplifier module has alarm and display LEDs that display the amplifier performance. If a failure or fault occurs in an amplifier module, it is displayed on the individual amplifier front panel.

4-5 G3S-1900-125 Amplifier Module

The amplifier module, figure 4-3, has an average output of 125 watts power (1250 watts peak power) with intermodulation products suppressed to better than -63 dBc below carrier levels. The amplifier provides an amplified output signal with constant gain and phase by adding approximately 25 dB of distortion cancellation on the output signal. Continuously comparing active paths with passive references, and correcting for small variations through the RF feedback controls maintain constant gain and phase. All gain and phase variations, for example those due to temperature, are reduced to the passive reference variations. The amplifier module is comprised of: Preamplifiers: Two feedforward loops with phase-shift and gain controls
Main amplifier: DC/DC power regulator Error amplifier: Alarm monitoring, control, and display panel
The main amplifier employs class AB amplification for maximum efficiency. The error amplifier and feed forward loops correct signal nonlinearities introduced by the class AB main amplifier. The error amplifier also operates in class AB mode. The RF input signals are amplified by a preamp and coupled to an attenuator and phase shifter in the first feedforward loop. The main signal is phase shifted by 180 degrees and amplified in the premain amplifier. The output from the premain amplifier is fed to the class AB main amplifier. The output from the main amplifier is typically 180 watts. The signal is output to several couplers and a delay line.
Figure 4-3 G3S-1900-125 Power Amplifier Module Functional Block Diagram The signal output from the main amplifier is sampled using a coupler, and the sample signal is combined with the main input signal and input to the second feedforward loop. The error signal is attenuated, phase shifted 180 degrees, then fed to the error amplifier where it is amplified to a level identical to the sampled output from the main amplifier. The output from the error amplifier is then coupled back and added to the output from the main amplifier. The control loops continuously make adjustments to cancel out any distortion in the final output signals. The 2nd loop control section obtains a sample of the distortion added to the output signals by the main amplifiers, phase shifts the signals by 180 degrees, then feeds it to the error amplifier. There it is amplified to the same power level as the input sample and coupled onto the main output signal. The final output is monitored by the 2nd loop and adjusted to ensure that the signal distortion and IMD on the final output is canceled out.

OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) Installation and Service Manual 4-5.1 Main Amplifier

The input and output of the main amplifier employs two-stage, class AB amplifiers, to provide approximately 25 dB of gain in the 60 MHz frequency band from 1930 to 1990 MHz. The amplifier operates on +27 VDC, and is mounted directly on a heat sink, which is temperature monitored by a thermal sensor. If the heat sink temperature exceeds 85C, a high temperature fault occurs. The alarm logic that controls the transistor bias voltage, shuts down the amplifier.
4-5.2 Error Amplifier

The main function of the error amplifier is to sample and amplify the signal distortion level generated by the main amplifier, to a level that cancels out the distortion and IMD when the error signal is coupled into the main signal at the amplifier output. The error amplifier is a balanced multistage class AB amplifier with 75 dB of gain to produce over 100-watts peak output. The amplifier operates on +27 VDC and is mounted directly on a heat sink.
4-5.3 Amplifier Monitoring

In the main and error amplifier modules, all normal variations are automatically compensated for by the feed forward loop control. However, when large variations occur beyond the adjustment range of the loop control, a loop fault occurs. The alarms are displayed on the front panel indicators and output via the 21-pin connector located on the rear of the module to the subrack summary board for subsequent remote monitoring via the ALARMS connector. Refer to section 2 for a description of the ALARMS connector.
4-5.4 Amplifier Module Cooling

Each amplifier module contains its own heat sink and heat is drawn out of the amplifier by cooler air flowing over the heat sink fins. Four fans provide forced air cooling and redundancy. The fans, which are field replaceable, are located on the front and rear of the amplifier module. Cooling air is drawn in through the front of the amplifier and the hot air is exhausted out the back of the module.
4-5.5 Power Distribution

The OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) enclosure uses an AC power source from the BTS. The AC powered enclosure contains either a 125-Amp or 148-Amp rectifier that supplies each amplifier module with a +27 VDC operating voltage. The amplifier module has an internal DC/DC converter that converts the +27 VDC to +15 VDC, +5 VDC and -5 VDC for use by other functions within the module.
4-5.6 Intermodulation
The G3S-1900-125 amplifier is designed to deliver a 125-watt composite average power, multicarrier signal, occupying a bandwidth less than or equal to 25 MHz, in the bandwidth from 1930 to 1990 MHz. The maximum average power for linear operation, and thus the amplifier efficiency, depends on the type of signal amplified.
4-5.7 Two-Tone Intermodulation

When measured with two equal CW tones spaced from 30 kHz to 20 MHz apart, and at any power level up to the average power, the 3rd order intermodulation products are below -63 dBc.
4-4
June 2004
OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) Installation and Service Manual 4-5.8 Multitone Intermodulation

Adding more tones to the signal lowers individual intermodulation products. If the frequencies are not equally spaced, the level of intermodulation products gets very low. When the frequencies are equally spaced, those products fall on top of each other on the same frequency grid. The average power of all intermodulation beats falling on the same frequency is called the composite intermodulation; it is -63 dBc or better.
4-5.9 Amplifier Monitoring

In the main and error amplifier modules, all normal variations are automatically compensated for by the feedforward loop control. However, when large variations occur beyond the adjustment range of the loop control, a loop fault occurs. The alarms are displayed on the front panel indicators and output via the 21-pin connector located on the rear of the module to the subrack summary board for subsequent remote monitoring.

4-5.10 Pilot Tone Control

For the OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) system G3S-1900-125 MCPAs, the pilot tone is preset at the factory to 1964.5 MHz. The pilot tone frequency selection is based on the intended operational band of the amplifiers as listed in table 4-2. Table 4-2 Pilot Frequency Setting Based on PCS Frequency Block of Operation
Block Designator Bandwidth Pilot (MHz) A 15 1945.5 (A) D 5 1950.5 (D) B 15 1965.5 (B) E 5 1964.5 (E) (default) 5 5 1970.5 (5) F 5 1969.5 (F) C 15 1974.5 (C) Block Pairs A-D 1930-1950 20 1950.5 (D) D-B 1945-1965 20 1965.5 (B) B-E 1950-1970 20 1970.5 (5) E-F 1965-1975 10 1964.5 (E) F-C 1970-1990 20 1969.5 (F) E-C Excluding F 1965-1990 Excluding: 1970-1975 25 1974.5 (C) (1) If the Block Designator has not been previously selected through serial communication, pilot defaults to 1964.5 on the G3S-1900-125 amplifier. (2) If the Block Designator is selected through serial interface, pilot frequency is moved to the appropriate spot and is stored permanently into the microprocessor until another band is changed. (3) 5 Pilot Frequency requires firmware update from rev. 3.C and greater. Transmit Frequency Band (MHz) Base Station 1930-1945 1945-1950 1950-1965 1965-1970 1965-1970 1970-1975 1975-1990
If the pilot tone is not moved and signals are transmitted in B-band, some traffic channels may transmit directly on the pilot tone. The pilot tone requires a guard band of 60 KHz for TDMA, 270 KHz for CDMA (IS-95), and 400 KHz for GSM. Transmitting on the pilot tone causes the amplifier to go into Loop Fail. This will not damage the MCPA. However, CDMA customers will experience a Loop Fail in every sector where the amplifiers are installed. TDMA and GSM customers will experience intermittent Loop Fails in the sectors that use these frequencies. On the other hand, if the pilot tone is not moved and signals are transmitted in A-band (19301945) or C-band (1975-1990), the instantaneous bandwidth of the amplifier will be exceeded. This will cause equipment operated in the outer bands of the PCS band to experience higher intermodulation distortion, which may in turn cause them to exceed FCC emission limits. The lower end of the PCS band presents the farthest frequency span from the default pilot tone, which begins at 1930 MHz, 34.5 MHz away from the pilot tone of the G3S-1900-125 amplifier. The amplifier may be operated in bandwidths wider than 20 MHz and still meet FCC rules, however the amplifier specifications are based on a 20 MHz bandwidth nearest the pilot tone. Refer to section 3-3.2 for actual Pilot frequency selection. The pilot frequency is set from the UCM, which also stores this setting in memory. If an amplifier fails, the UCM programs the pilot frequency of the replacement amplifier to that of the other installed amplifier.

OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) Installation and Service Manual 4-5.11 Alarm Interface

The amplifier has an RS-485 alarm port. The amplifier reports its status as faults occur, to the UCM. The alarm signals are converted to Form-C, then routed from the UCM to an internal terminal board mounted on the right side at the rear of the enclosure. The signals are then routed through the I/O port of the to the alarm monitor station (refer to section 2).
4-5.12 Plug-In Rectifiers

The system currently employees two different rectifiers (930-00016-008 or 930-00018-05) that are not interchangeable because of different subrack designs (refer to table 1-1). The function of the rectifier is to convert the AC voltage input from the BTS to the +27 VDC used by the OS-1900 system. In a one-rectifier system, if a failure occurs and replacement is required, the system would already be in bypass mode and the rectifier could be removed and replaced with the AC power still applied to the system. In a two-rectifier system, a failure of one rectifier would not place the system into bypass mode and the failed rectifier could be hot swapped with a new unit.

This section contains problems based on the G3S-1900-125 front panel indicators and a few suggested actions that may correct these problems should they occur. If the suggested corrective action does not eliminate the problem, please contact your Powerwave field representative or the factory for further instructions. Note Check your sales order and equipment warranty before attempting to service or repair the unit. Do not break the seals on equipment under warranty or the warranty will be null and void. Do not return equipment for warranty or repair service until proper shipping instructions are received from the factory.

Troubleshooting
The OFF/ON/RESET switch can clear many alarm faults. It is located on the front panel of the faulted amplifier module. An attempt to reset the fault should be your first course of action. 24 Hour technical support service is available at our main phone number 888-797-9283 or 714-4661000; select the "System Operator Technical Support" option to receive assistance from Powerwave's Applications Support Group. The following are general guidelines established to aid Field Engineers or Cell Site Technicians in the proper method of Powerwave equipment fault resolution by fault mode.
6-2.1 DC Voltage Indicators Not Illuminated

1. 2. 3. Check the front panel ON/OFF switch. Check the power plant circuit breaker. Check for +27 + 1.0 VDC at the amplifier subrack input. A. B. If the voltage is low, verify that all DC connections between the power plant and the amplifier subrack are tight. If the voltage is correct, (1). Remove the amplifier from the subrack slot and move the amplifier to another amplifier subrack slot. (2). Check the voltage on the power pins of the mating amplifier and amplifier subrack connector. Verify that the amplifier DC connections are not damaged (see figure 61 and table 6-1). (3). If voltages are correct and connections are secure, return the amplifier to the factory for repair.

Description
6-2.2 OVER PWR Illuminated

1. If all the amplifiers in a given amplifier enclosure are in Over Pwr and the LPA Disable LED is illuminated, then the input RF power level is too high and the amplifiers have been turned off. This could be the result of RF power being incorrectly set during equipment commissioning or a faulty jumper cable. Verify the amplifier enclosure output cables transmit filter, and directional coupler are in proper working order. The loss between the amplifier enclosure and the hatch plate is typically less than 2.0 dB. If the amplifier is in Over Pwr, then the input RF power level is too high. The amplifier is attempting to maintain a safe power output level. This could be the result of RF power being incorrectly set during equipment commissioning or a faulty jumper cable. Verify the amplifier output cables, duplexers, and attenuators are in proper working order.
2.
6-2.3 HIGH TEMP Illuminated

1. If an amplifier is in HIGH TEMP and the LPA Disable LED is illuminated, then the amplifier heat sink temperature is too high. This may be due to: A. B. C. 2. High ambient temperature. Fan failure. Insufficient air-volume capacity. Most of Powerwaves amplifiers require a certain amount of free-space to allow proper airflow.
Correct the heat problem, then reset the amplifier by momentarily pressing up on the amplifier front panel Off/On/Reset switch.
In hot climate environments, shading of the equipment cabinet is recommended to reduce the equipment cabinets heat load.
6-2.4 VSWR Illuminated

1. If the amplifier is in VSWR and the LPA Disable LED is illuminated, then the output RF reflected power level is too high and the amplifier has been turned off. This may be due to a faulty jumper cable or transmit filter. Verify the amplifier output cables, duplexers, and attenuators are in proper working order. This fault normally occurs during site or just following site power setting and normally takes about 10 to 15 minutes to appear. This fault may not occur at low power levels (i.e. when just one or two channels are up). If the amplifier is in VSWR and the LPA Disable LED is illuminated, then the output RF reflected power level is too high for that amplifier. This may be due to: A. B. A damaged or recessed amplifier RF output connector. Return the amplifier to the factory for repair. Mishandling of the amplifier can cause recessed pins. Before installing an amplifier, look at the D-sub connector to ensure none of the pins are recessed, bent, or that the outer connector shield is not damaged. When installing the amplifier, do not force the amplifier into the slot. Gentle even pressure is all that is needed to properly seat the amplifier.

C. Improper seating of the amplifier. (1). Ensure the amplifier thumbscrews are properly tightened. (2). Try seating the amplifier in another slot. (3). Try seating the amplifier in another sector.
6-2.5 DC FAIL Illuminated

If an amplifier is in DC FAIL and the LPA Disable LED is illuminated, then one of the amplifier DC voltages is either out of tolerance or not present. Return the amplifier to the factory for repair.
6-2.6 FAN FAIL Illuminated

If an amplifier is in FAN FAIL, then an amplifiers cooling fans has failed. Replace the fan. In the G3 model amplifiers, fan failure does not cause the amplifier to shut down; this is determined by the heat sink temperature, as previously mentioned.
6-2.7 LOOP FAIL Illuminated

LPA Disable LED illuminated always accompanies Loop Fail. This may be due to: 1. 2. Inability of the amplifier to maintain a 180 phase shift between the first and second loops. A damaged error amplifier. This can be caused by: A. B. Out of band spurious or intermods being applied at too high of a level at the amplifier input port. An input band-pass filter may be necessary to correct this problem. Disconnecting amplifier RF output cables while the amplifier is still turned on. Always turn the amplifier off when moving output RF cables from the hatch plate to test equipment and back again.
3. 4.
Operating the Pilot tone within the base stations designated frequency band. Program the UCM for a Pilot tone in a neighboring frequency band. Refer to section 3, paragraph 3-3.2
6-2.8 LOW PWR Illuminated

The LPA Disable LED being illuminated always accompanies Low Power. This is due to the gain of either the internal preamplifier or main amplifier being 0.5 dB (typically) or more below the amplifier specification. The amplifier should be returned to the factory.
6-2.9 LPA DISABLE Illuminated

1. LPA Disable LED illuminated indicates that the amplifier RF section is turned off. This may be due to: A. B. 2. 3. 4. An accompanied alarm indicating a critical amplifier fault (i.e. Loop Fail fault). Improper seating of the amplifier in the enclosure.
Ensure the amplifier thumbscrews are properly tightened. Reset the amplifier by momentarily pressing up on the amplifier front panel Off/On/Reset switch. Try seating the amplifier in another enclosure slot. Try seating the amplifier in another enclosure, if available.

Appendix B. Power Setting Procedures

B-1 Power Setting Calculations:
1. 2. 3. Ensure the composite input power to the Powerwave amplifier is < -11 dBm. Determine the required output level at the hatch plate per carrier (Analog, Digital, CDPD, and Setup Channel). Determine the amount of loss between the amplifier output and the hatch plate. A. B. Either the calculated value, or Measure the loss: (1). Key one radio and make a measurement in dBm at the back of the amplifier with a HP EPM-441A or equivalent power meter. Write the value down: _____ dBm. (2). Unkey the radio and move the power meter to the hatch plate. (3). Key the same radio and make a measurement in dBm, and write it down: _____ dBm. The difference between the two measurements is the loss. 4. Determine the amount of power output at the rear of the amplifier per carrier. Multiply the number of carriers times the output power level per carrier at the rear of the amplifier. A blank worksheet is provided on page B4 for you to record your desired power levels.

2. Reduce the number of input radios until the amplifier power rating is met. CDMA carriers are normally set with only pilot page and sync signals up. These represent approximately 15% of the overall maximum average channel power. Therefore, Powerwave normally multiplies CDMA power by a factor of 7 when CDMA power is given under 7 Watts.
B-2 Power Setting Procedure:

Note The amplifiers must be warmed up for a minimum of 20 minutes prior to setting power levels. Failure to properly warm the amplifiers may result in lower output power, once the amplifiers reach operating temperature.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Set the UCM TX to minimum gain (fully counter-clockwise; factory default). Ensure all radios are unkeyed. Turn the amplifier off. Connect the power meter with appropriate attenuators as necessary to the duplexer output port of the OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X). Turn the amplifier on. Set the base station radio output to +45 dBm. Set the OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) output power level using the TX gain potentiometer on the UCM. Key the same radio. Monitor the output power at the antenna port of the output duplexer and according to the calculations made in the first section above. Do not readjust the radio output level unless the gain adjust on the amplifier is set to fully clockwise (maximum gain) and the desired output power is still not attained. Unkey the radio. Key one radio at a time and set the power level of each individual radio at the hatch plate according to the calculations made in the first section above. Do not readjust the gain adjust on the UCM. All subsequent adjustments must be made at the radio.
8. 9.
10. Unkey all radios. 11. Key all the radios and measure the total maximum power. This power level should not exceed the rating for the amplifier. If the power rating for the amplifier is exceeded, the Inter Modulation Distortion performance of the amplifier suffers. Note Each amplifier will shut down at 158 W, which will cause the sector to be off the air.
12. Unkey all the radios. 13. Turn the amplifier off. 14. Reconnect the RF output coax cable to the Powerwave amplifier. 15. Install weatherproofing material on OS-1900-SA(X)/SB(X) external connections per the manufacturers instructions. 16. Turn the amplifier on. 17. Place the site in service.
