1.5 System Description
The MobileAccess™ system can interface to up to three Base Stations (BTS) or
repeaters. Connections to the Base Units (BUs) can be implemented either via
passive interface or via active interface using the Radio Interface Unit (RIU). The
RIU significantly simplifies the process of performing the adjustments required
between the Base Station and BUs and in addition, provides enhanced monitoring
and control capabilities.
The RIU supports up to three modular adapters referred to as BTS Conditioners.
Each BTS Conditioner enables the support of a different service.

The downlink RF signal is converted at the Base Units to a robust optic signal that is
driven over a single mode fiber to the Remote Hub Units (RHU) – where each BU
can support up to eight RHUs. At the RHU end, the optic signal is converted to RF
and distributed to the corresponding antennas – where each RHU can support up to
four antennas.
In the uplink path, the signal is received at the RHUs antennas, converted to an
optical signal at the RHU, and transmitted to the Base Unit where it is converted
back to RF.

Each MobileAccess 1000 RHU can support up to two frequency bands (according to
the specific model). A third band may be added using the MobileAccess 1200 add-
on unit that is assembled onto the MobileAccess 1000 RHU.
MobileAccess 1200 is also available as a

Wireless LAN services can also be added to the MobileAccess 1000 RHU by
connecting the
MobileAccess 840
add-on module. This provides wireless LAN
signals to the antennas connected to the MobileAccess 1000 RHU.
Monitoring and control functionality for all system elements are provided by the
MobileAccess 410/430 controller.
The Base Units and controller (along with the power supplies and other elements
required for interface) are usually installed in the same rack in the communication
room, while the RHUs are distributed throughout the locations to be covered. In the
communication room located next to the BTS or repeater, the RIU is also installed in
the rack.

Chapter 2. Module Description
The MobileAccess™ 1000/1200 system consists of four major components:
• Radio Interface Unit (RIU)
• Base Units (BU)
•
Remote Hub Units (RHU) 1000/1200
•
Controller 410/430
The number and type of modules vary in each system according to the configuration:
2.1 Radio Interface Unit (RIU)
2.1.1 General
The Radio Interface Unit ensures optimal signal level between the RF source and
MobileAccess 1000 Base Units.
The RIU includes the following features:
•
Support for both Simplex and Duplex connectivity to BDA/BTS
• Each RIU can simultaneously support up to three RF sources
• Programmable parameter for reduction of Noise Level injected to macro
network in a BDA (or BTS) configuration
• RF source - Automatic gain setting in a BDA configuration to compensate for
changes in the macro network topology
Each RIU includes up to three BTS Conditioner (BTSC) units, each providing
interface to a BTS unit. The model of the BTSC unit corresponds to the BTS carrier.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) maintains a stable power level and invokes event
traps when the defined limits are exceeded.
In the downlink, the BTS conditioner attenuates the signals to the level required by
the Base Units for optimal Fiber Optic conversion. The output signals are summed
(note the front panel wiring) to a single output that is allocated to each of the
connected Base Units.
In the uplink, the BTSC provides the attenuation of the signal that is fed to the BTS,
minimizing the noise level of the signal.
The RIU may be monitored and controlled by direct connection to the RS232 frontpanel connector or via the MobileAccess 410/430 controller (along with all other
system elements).
