ADCP-75-348 • Issue 1 • 04/2008

The FlexWave URH product family of products is intended as a “next generation” distributed antenna system (DAS). DAS products provide bidirectional transport of digitized RF spectrum. Each link consists of a host unit (providing the interface between the base station RF ports and the optical fiber) and at least one remote unit (providing the interface between the optical fiber and the remote antenna). The difference in this product is the high-speed digitalization of a wideband portion of spectrum, that allows for transport of RF signals over extended distances, without the RF degradation that normally results when analog systems are impacted by optical effects.

The basic function of the FlexWave URH platform is to transport via fiber optic cable RF signals form a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to an antenna interface allowing communication to a mobile device. Multiple BTS communication paths are allowed over a single URH system. Diversity receive is supported. A block diagram of the system is shown in

Figure 1.

Figure 1. FlexWave URH Block Diagram

The basic function of the FlexWave URH simulcast (point-to-point) platform is to transport, via fiber optic cable, RF signals form a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to multiple antenna interfaces allowing communication to a mobile device. Up to 8 simulcast remotes are supported.

2 INTRODUCTION

The front access URH Host Unit interfaces with the BTS and performs the analog to digital and electrical to optical conversions for transport to the URH Remote Units. A typical URH system consists of a Host Unit (HU) and a Remote Unit (RU).

The HU is designed for maximum RF flexibility to address Carriers changing and evolving spectrum needs, making the most use of cost efficient resources for serving multiple remotes such as simulcast architecture and sharing of common functions such as power, control and management over multiple host units. These features are designed into a compact package that reduces the amount of overall rack space required within a BTS Hotel. Each host chassis can support up to eight RUs.

The HU is a three rack-unit high single-unit assembly that mounts in a standard equipment rack. The RU consists of an outdoor enclosure that houses various electronic components. The RU is a modular self-contained enclosure. Together the HU and the RU together comprise an URH system. Various accessory items are also available for use with each system. All items referenced as “accessory items” are not furnished and must be purchased separately.

3 HOST UNIT DESCRIPTION

A front view of the HU, shown in fan assembly that are mounted within a powder-paint coated sheet metal enclosure. The enclosure provides a mounting point for the circuit board and fan assembly and controls RF emissions. Fan assembly can be replaced in the field. Host Unit may be upgraded once it is installed to support additional URH Remote Units. This can be performed without disrupting service.

The HU is designed for use within a non-condensing indoor environment such as inside a wiring closet or controlled environment cabinet. All controls, connectors, and indicators (except the grounding point) are mounted on the HU front panel. Current versions of the HU allow vertical cable guides to be installed over the mounting brackets on either side of the HU.

6.5 HU Mounting Procedure

The HU may be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. Both US standard and metric machine screws are included for rack mounting the HU. When loading the HU in a rack, make sure the mechanical loading of the rack is even to avoid a hazardous condition such as a severely unbalanced rack. The rack should safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it holds. In addition, maximum recommended ambient temperature for the HU is 55º C (131º F). Allow sufficient air circulation or space between units when the HU is installed in a multi-rack assembly because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient.

ADCP-75-348 • Issue 1 • 04/2008

6.7 Coaxial Cable Connections

The RF interface between the HU DART card and the EBTS/BTS is supported through two type QMA female connectors mounted on each DART front panel. One connector provides the coaxial cable connection for the forward path (downlink) signal and the other connector provides the coaxial cable connection for the reverse path (uplink) signal.

In most installations, it is usually necessary to insert an

external attenuator

into the forward path link between the HU and the BTS. A signal level that is greater than –9 dBm will overdrive and possibly damage the HU receiver. Before completing the forward path connection at the BTS, verify that the composite forward path RF signal level at the HU is between

–25 and +5 dBm

The HU should be mounted as close as possible to the EBTS/BTS to minimize cable losses. Use the following procedure to route and connect the forward and reverse path coaxial cables to the HU DART cards:

1. Obtain the required lengths of high performance, flexible, low loss 50-ohm coaxial communications cable (RG-400 or equivalent) for all coaxial connections.

2. Route the forward and reverse path coaxial cables between the HU and the BTS interface (per system design plan) and cut to the required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and organizing cables at the HU and for installing an external attenuator in the forward path link.

3. Terminate each cable with an QMA-Type male connector following the connector supplier’s recommendations.

4. If required, install an external attenuator in the forward path.

Note: The composite forward path RF signal level at the HU must be between –25 and +5 dBm. Do not connect the forward path cable until the composite forward path RF

signal level is measured and the amount of external attenuation required is determined.

5. Connect the forward path cable to the FWD RF IN connector on the HU DART front panel as shown in

6. Connect the reverse path cable to the REV RF OUT connector on the HU DART front panel (see

7. Repeat this procedure for the remaining DART cards in the HU.

8. Dress and secure cables at the right side of the HU.

9. Complete all remaining coaxial connections as specified in the system design plan.

Figure 12).

ADCP-75-348 • Issue 1 • 04/2008

6.8 Optical Connections

The optical interface between the HU and the RU is supported by optical ports. Each optical port consists of an SFP with LC optical transceivers mounted on the SeRF card front panel. Each FWD port provides an optical connection for the forward path (downlink) signal. Each REV port provide an optical connection for the reverse path (uplink) signal. Each REV port can also provide the optical connection for the diversity reverse path (uplink) signal.

The optical connections are dependent on whether or not a WDM host module (accessory) is installed:

• If the installation does not include a WDM module, proceed to Section 6.8.1 for the

optical connections procedure.

• If the installation includes a WDM module, proceed to Section 6.8.2 for the optical

connections procedure.
