EECL was commissioned by the University of Surrey to design and deliver a precision test box for deployment on an operational mobile phone base station. The system was required to enable high-speed multiplexing across multiple antennas with timing precisely synchronized to GPS.
The project presented several demanding technical requirements. The unit needed to be fully waterproof for outdoor installation, deliver ultra-low signal loss and high isolation, and remain remotely controllable when mounted approximately 30 meters high on a mobile mast. It also had to operate from a −48V power supply and be designed, built, and delivered within an ambitious three-week schedule.
To meet these challenges, EECL developed an innovative solution using low-loss PIN diode switching, a microprocessor for precise timing control, and a custom power supply compatible with the base station’s −48V infrastructure.
All components were integrated into a robust, weatherproof enclosure engineered specifically for outdoor mast installation. Following design and fabrication, the test box was successfully installed and commissioned on-site, meeting all operational and performance requirements.
