RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFACE STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for an intentional radiator, pursuant to Part 15, Subpart C of the FCC Rules. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause interference to radio communications. The limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential situation. However, there is

61280004L2-1C Radio Frequency Interference Statement • The installed antenna must not be located in a manner that allows exposure of the general population to the direct beam path of the antenna at a distance less than 15 feet (4.6 meters). Installation on towers, masts, or rooftops not accessible to the general population is recommended; or • Mount the antenna in a manner that prevents any personnel from entering the area within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the front of the antenna. • It is recomm

SECTION 1 TRACER DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION The Dual E1 version of TRACER provides two, individual E1 transports via a 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz, direct sequence, spread spectrum microwave link. The transmitter output power is 20 dBm maximum while the receiver sensitivity is -89 dBm @ 2.4 GHz and -87 dBm @ 5.8 GHz. System performance is determined, in part, by the engineering of the microwave link. Each TRACER radio is comprised of two components – the baseband processor and the radio frequency conve

61280004L2-1C Section 1 TRACER Description Direct Sequence A direct sequence transmitter spreads the signal by mixing the data with the output of a pseudorandom number generator which changes state at a rate higher than the data rate. This rate is called the “chipping” rate. The TRACER chipping rate is twelve times the data rate. Coding Many different pseudorandom sequences exist. The sequences are called pseudorandom because, although they appear noise-like, they are determinant and repeat

61280004L2-1C Section 1 TRACER Description E1 Interfaces The E1 interfaces conform to the ITU G.703 and G.704 electrical and signaling interface recommendations. Two interfacing configurations are allowed - two pair of BNC coaxial connectors or two 15-pin sub-D connectors and RJ48 connectors. The coaxial connection provides a 75Ω unbalanced connection. The shield of the TX coaxial connection is attached to earth ground. A strap is provided to optionally connect the shield of the RX coaxial c

61280004L2-1C Section 1 TRACER Description The LEDs that indicate error conditions in the spread spectrum data pump and RFC are listed below. All of these LEDs are visible through the front panel. Any one of these LEDs indicates an error condition that precludes system operation. Link Down .............. Red if the RF link is not operational. E1 interfaces will transmit UA1 on the affected E1 to indicate an error. RF Low ................... Red if the received RF carrier level is below -80 dBm.

61280004L2-1C Section 1 TRACER Description Built-In Tests The TRACER has several features to aid in site setup and later debugging. These diagnostics include E1 loopbacks and a link test with BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) data. A link test is performed by pressing the test button. The remote unit will then send a pseudorandom data pattern, and the local end will compute a BER. After the conclusion of the test, the remote end will automatically be instructed to terminate the pattern generation. If

61280004L2-1C Section 1 TRACER Description Three SMA connectors, located on the RFC module, provide RF and IF connection points. A test point is provided for monitoring the received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The voltage (relative to the GND test point) present on this test point represents the level of the received signal. This signal is used to align the antenna when installing the system and to verify the link is performing as designed. NOTE The voltage level present at the RSSI test

Mastmount RFC Housing Antenna Selection TRACER is intended to be coupled with an antenna that is directional (thus providing signal gain). There are several reasons for this requirement: • TRACER operates in point-to-point applications so omnidirectional antennas cannot be used. • The low power transmitter is intended to be use
