ADCP-75-348 • Issue 1 • 04/2008 • Preface
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation may
result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood
MUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoid
the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt
particles from entering the adapter or connector.
Caution: This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain 3 foot
(91.4 cm) minimum clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Wherever
possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the antenna.
Caution: Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtails

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.

3.1 Mounting
The HU is intended for rack-mount applications. A pair of reversible mounting brackets is
provided that allow the HU to be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO
equipment rack. When installed, the front panel of the HU is flush with the front of the rack.
Screws are provided for securing the HU to the equipment rack.
3.2 SeRF Card
3.2.1 Network Interface Connection
SeRF front panel has an Ethernet port allowing interface communication with the internal
processor and transfer of data to the optical protocol allowing IP transport between the HU and
the remote(s). The network interface allows the HU to be controlled through a network.
Network interface connection between the HU and the network is supported by a RJ-45 jack 10/
100Base-T (IEEE802.3 compliant) with integrated green ACTIVITY and LINK LEDs. The
Ethernet port supports a maximum cable length of 100 meters (328 feet) to a hub or back-toback nodes. CAT5 or better cable should be used when making this connection. The Ethernet
connection should not be connected to an Ethernet circuit used outside the building.

information.
The following features and capabilities are available on the DART Card:
• Amplifies, down-converts, filters and digitizes from a 1.5MHz to 35MHz band of the
incoming RF signal
Page 4
© 2008, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
• Converts incoming digital signal to analog, filters, amplifies and up-converts
• Provides bi-directional interface between parallel digital RF (to D/A and from A/D) and
Serial RF (SeRF) to/from SeRF board
• Performs digital up/down conversion and adjustable delay processing
• Non-contiguous bands and receive diversity is implemented with multiple DART Cards
3.3.1 RF Signal Connections
The RF signal connections between the HU DART cards and the BTS are supported through
two (FWD RF IN and REV RF OUT) QMA-Type female connectors. One connector is used for
the forward path RF signal. The other connector is used for the reverse path RF signal. In some
installations, it may be necessary to install a Conditioning Panel and/or Duplexing Panel
(accessory items) to support the interface between the HU and the BTS. The HU should be as
close as possible to the BTS to minimize cable losses.
3.4 System Card
ADCP-75-348 • Issue 1 • 04/2008
The System Interface Card gives additional front panel space for the SeRF card. The System
Card front panel also provides connections for alarm outputs, 10 MHz output, and status LEDs.
This card may be used to provide a 10 MHz clock reference to which the SeRF's Master clock is
frequency locked from the internal crystal oscillator. When the internal clock is not used the
clock can be obtained from an external 10 MHz input.
3.5 Power Supply
HU is powered by a modular DC to DC power supply located on the lower left side of the
chassis. An On/Off switch is provided on the HU power supply module front panel.
HU is powered by ± 20 to ± 60 VDC power (nominal ± 24 or ± 48 VDC), power is fed to the HU
through a connector located on the front of the module. Power to the HU must be supplied
through a fuse panel (available separately). Each HU must be protected with a fuse.
3.6 User Interface
The HU user interface consists of the various connectors, switches, terminals, and LEDs that are
provided on the HU front panel. The HU user interface points are indicated in
described in Tabl e 2.

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.

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.

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.

Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transmitter of any unit or exposure to laser radiation may result.
An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST
be immediately placed over any radiating transmitter or optical fiber connector to avoid the
potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles
from entering the connector.
6.8.1 Optical Connections Without WDM System
Use the following procedure to connect the optical fibers when there is no WDM installed with the HU:
1. Obtain two patch cords that are of sufficient length to reach from the HU to the fiber distribution panel.
2. Designate one of the patch cords as the forward path link and the other as the reverse path link and attach an identification label or tag next to the connector.
3. Remove the dust caps from the HU SeRF SFP optical ports and from the patch cord connectors that will be connected to the SeRF SFP optical ports.
4. Clean each patch cord connector following the patch cord supplier’s recommendations.
Note: To protect the optical receivers, insert a 15 dB attenuator in each optical path. When
the system is turned-up and tested, the attenuator may be resized or removed.
5. Insert each patch cord connector into the appropriate optical port as shown in Figure 13 and as specified by the following:
PORT 1 FWD - Forward path patch cord
PORT 1 REV - Reverse path patch cord
Caution:
Improper handling can damage fiber optic cables. Do not bend fiber optic cable more
sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer. Do not
apply more pulling force to the cable than specified.
6. Route the patch cords from the HU to the fiber distribution panel.
Note: The HU optical adapters are angled to the left. Therefore, always route patch cords
to the HU from the left side of the rack. Routing patch cords to the HU from the right may
exceed the bend radius limitations for the optical fiber.
7. At the fiber distribution panel, identify the OSP cable optical fiber terminations that correspond to the forward and reverse paths.
8. Remove the dust caps from the OSP cable optical fiber adapters and from the patch cord connectors.
9. Clean each patch cord connector (follow patch cord supplier’s recommendations) and then mate the connector with the appropriate OSP cable adapter.
