Description 

 

The repeater works on the principle of receiving the handset signal 

through a subscriber (indoor) antenna, amplifying or ‘boosting’ its 

signal level, and then passing it on to the donor (outdoor) antenna 

located outside the building.  Signals from the cellular tower 

(downlink) are also amplified and passed to the subscriber antenna.

 CR300 in-building repeater is a Class B 

Broadband device, and processes the iDEN/SMR 806-825/851-870 

MHz band.  Input and output duplexers and band pass filters in the 

downlink and uplink path provide the repeater’s filtering and 

isolation.  The maximum gain in each of the downlink and uplink 

path is 60dB.  Both the downlink and uplink paths incorporate 

automatic gain control, to ensure that downlink and uplink power 

amplifiers operate free of distortion.  The CR300 has primary and 

secondary subscriber ports, allowing the repeater to expand the in-

building coverage area without degrading repeater performance.
