ATPC Automatic Transmit Power Control


The quality of radio communication between low Power devices varies
significantly with time and environment.
This phenomenon indicates that static transmission power, transmission range,
and link quality, might not be effective in the physical world.
Static transmission set to max. may reduce lifetime of Transmitter
Side-lobes may affect nearby Receivers (image)

ATPC Automatic Transmit Power Control


1. Enable ATPC on both sites
2. Set Input reference level (min. possible RSL to maintain the radio link)

3. ATPC on both ends establish a Feedback Channel through the radio link (1byte)
4. Transmitters will reduce Output power to the min. possible level
5. Power reduction stops when RSL in remote receiver reaches Ref. input level
6. ATPC is strongly recommended with XPIC configuration

ATPC Example when ATPC is OFF

Site A

FSL= -60 dB

Site B

MTPC

MTPC

TSL A = 30dBm
RSL A = ?

TSL B = 30dBm
RSL B = ?

RSL A = -30dBm (TSL B + FSL)

RSL B = -30dBm (TSL A + FSL)

Proprietary and Confidential

ATPC Example when ATPC is ON (One site ATPC, second site MTPC)

Site A

FSL= -60 dB

Site B

ATPC
IRLB (Input Ref. level on Site B) = -50dBm

MTPC

TSL A = ?
RSL A = ?

TSL B = 30dBm
RSL B =?

TSL A = 10dBm (IRLB-FSL)

RSL B = -50dBm (TSL A + FSL)

RSL A = -30dBm (TSL B + FSL)


You want -50dBm on Site B, so what is TXA in Site A?

ATPC Example when ATPC is ON (ATPC on both sites)

Site A

FSL= -60 dB

Site B

ATPC
IRLB (Input Ref. level on Site B) = -50dBm

ATPC
IRLA (Input Ref. level on Site A) = -50dBm

TSL A = ?
RSL A = ?

TSL B = ?
RSL B = ?

TSL A = 10dBm (IRLB - FSL)

TSL B = 10dBm (IRLA-FSL)

RSL A = -50dBm (TSLB + FSL)

RSL B = -50dBm (TSL A + FSL)

ATPC Example when ATPC is ON (ATPC on both sites), ATPC range


Max TSL is 30dBm
ATPC range is 20dB

Site A

Max TSL is 30dBm


ATPC range is 20dB

FSL= -60 dB

Site B

ATPC
IRLB (Input Ref. level on Site B) = -60dBm

ATPC
IRLA (Input Ref. level on Site A) = -50dBm

TSL A = ?
RSL A = ?

TSL B = ?
RSL B = ?

TSL A = 10dBm (IRLB-FSL)

TSL B = 10dBm (IRLA - FSL)

RSL A = -50dBm (TSL B + FSL)

RSL B = -50dBm (TSL A + FSL)

RSL B is -50dBm because typical ATPC range for TX level is 20dB (depend on RFU type)!!!
It means that TSL A cant be 0dBm because possible min is 10dBm (Max is 30dBm)
