Distributed Antenna System (DAS)Passive

Passive DAS

In a passive DAS, coaxial cable is used to distribute the RF signals tocoverage antennas. The RF signal is obtained from an off-airrepeater or base station. Couplers/splitters are then used to divert afraction of RF signal along the horizontal floors of the building viacoaxial cabling.

Active DAS

Distributed Antenna System (DAS)Active

An active DAS resolves the signal attenuation problem caused by thelossy coax cable. This is done by adding distributed fiber-opticamplifiers and fiber-optic cable to the passive DAS. It is scalable andcan support multi-bands of services, i.e. cellular, PCS, public safety.

6/60

Base Station- Instead of using the nearby cell tower as a signalsource, the wireless carriers may provide a base station onpremise, which generates the RF signals. The base station is

connected via T-1 lines back to the carriers MSO.

Deployment Process


44/60

1. Site Survey- Initial survey of floor plans, equipment locations & specialconsiderations (This is often done off the floor plans.)

2. Preliminary Design- Preliminary RF link budgets, initial antenna and cable layouts,BOMs, etc

3. RF Survey- Perform interference & propagation measurements

4. Detailed Design- Revise preliminary design based on RF survey results.

5. Pre-Construction Survey- Installer walk through- validate cable routes andequipment locations

Deployment Process


. na es gn- ev se es gn ase on c anges o ns a a on es gn necessary

7. Carrier Approval- Seek design approval from carriers and authorization to connectto networks

8. Order Equipment- Order active equipment following carrier approval

9. Installation- Install cables, antennas and active equipment following carrierapproval. Perform routine quality control checks

10. Commissioning- Verify RF & optical cable performance; set system gains; &measure levels

11. System Acceptance- Connect RF signal source and measure RF coverageperformance
