1 Description
The TB8100 is a software-controlled base station system (BSS) which is
designed for operation on most standard frequency ranges
1
. It makes
extensive use of digital and DSP technology. Many operating parameters
such as channel spacing, audio bandwidth, signalling, etc. are controlled by
software. It is also capable of generating alarms for remote monitoring.
The TB8100 BSS comprises a number of separate modules. Each module
is inserted into the TB8100 4U subrack from the front and is secured at the
front with a metal clamp. Both clamp and module are easily removed for
rapid module replacement. The modules are secured laterally with plastic
guides which clip into the top and bottom of the subrack. These guides can
be easily repositioned to change the configuration of a subrack. The heavier
modules are also secured laterally by metal tabs at the rear of the subrack.
All modules are interconnected at the front of the subrack. The only
connections at the rear of the subrack are:
■ RF input from and output to the antenna
■ external frequency reference input
■ AC and/or DC power supply input
■ auxiliary DC output (optional)
■ system inputs and outputs (via the optional system interface board fitted
to the reciter).
The TB8100 BSS features rugged construction with generous heatsinks and
fan-forced cooling for continuous operation from –30°C to +60°C (–22°F
to +140°F). Several different configurations are possible. The most
common are:
■ one 5W or 50W base station plus accessory modules or extra receivers
■ two 5W or 50W base stations
■ one 100W base station plus accessory modules or extra receivers.
