Chapter 1: Installation
General
This guide provides insta llation procedures for the following GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP systems:
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP 1+0/1+1 configuration
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP 2+2 XPIC configuration
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP N+1 configuration
Abou t GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP
The GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP supports multiple capacities, frequencies, modulation sc hemes, and configurations
for various network re quirements. Its RF transceiver units operate in the fr equency range of 6-11 GHz.
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP capacities can be upgraded from 45 Mbps up to N x 155 Mbps.
For long distance links and bac kbone requirements, GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP offers Space Diversity functionality.
Each transceiver can contains two receivers and one transmitter, which enable built-in diversity capa bility.
Built in Diversity in each transceiver increases the reliability of the link. In a 1+1/2+2 Hot Standby or N+1
configuration w ith Space Diversity, if a hardware failure occurs, the Diversity will not be affected.
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP is installed in a Split-Mount configura tion, as shown in the following example
illustration.
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP Installation Guide 1-1
2+0 Confi gurati on
The GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP RFU works together with Intrepid-HC, Intrepid-HC HP/T, and Intrepid-HC 64P,
which are modular network connec tivity IDUs designed to meet growing market demands for increased spectralefficient systems.
GE MDS Intrepid-HC is designed to deliver double the ca pacity using a single 28 MHz wide channel. The system
is easy to install, offers a variety of interface possibilities, and represents a cost-effective alternative to fiber.
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP/T (all indoor, trunked unit) is a high capacity N+1 trunk radio system that was designed
to support multiple capacitie s, frequencies, modulation schemes, and configurations for various network
requirements.
GE MDS Intrepid-HC 64P is a high capacity PDH radio designed for seamless upgra de from medium to high
capacity, with a built-in Fast Ethernet port and switch.
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP RFUs together with the different GE MDS IDUs provide a powerful, reliable, a nd
comprehensive solution for a variety of wireless network scenarios and requirements.

About the GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP OCBs
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP RFUs and OCBs (Outdoor Circulator Blocks) can be chained in different ways for
different configurations.
Two types of OCBs can be used:
Type1 OCB
Type2 OCB
The main difference between the tw o types are the cir culator directions. Depending on the configur ation, OCB Type
1 or Type 2 are used together with waveguide shorts, waveguide loads, U Bends, C Bends, or couplers.
Each OCB has four waveguide access points: two in the front, and two at the rear. The diversity access point is
optional.
If the system is not configured f or diversity, all the relevant access points on the OCB must be terminated using
waveguide shorts
.

N+1 Split Mount Installation
This section describe s the installation procedure for GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP in an N+1 split mount configuration,
where N is less than or equal to 5.
A split mount N+1 configuration is achieved using Type-1 and Type-2 OCBs alternatively.
Two Type 1 a nd Type 2 OCBs are interconnected via U bends at the rear extension ports. The third OCB is chained to
the second OC B through the main and diversity ports, using a flexible waveguide.
Each OCB is conne cted to the relevant IF ca ble from the Intrepid-HC HP /T Baseband Indoor.
