This chapter describes the exterior and function of the RU as well as the ports and indicators
on the RU.
2.1 RU Exterior
This section describes the exterior and dimensions of an RU.
2 RU Introduction
2.2 RU Functions
This section describes the main functions of the RU.
2.3 RU Technical Specifications
This section describes technical specifications of an RU, including supported modes,
frequency bands, RF specifications, engineering specifications, and antenna capabilities.
2.4 RU Ports
This section describes ports on the RU panels. An RU has a bottom panel, cabling cavity
panel, and indicator panel.
2.5 RU Indicators
This section describes six indicators on an RU. They indicate the running status.
2.6 Optical Modules
An optical module transmits optical signals between an optical port and a fiber optic cable.
2.1 RU Exterior
This section describes the exterior and dimensions of an RU.
For details about the extension ports, see 2.4 RU Ports.
The RU performs the following functions:
Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband data to the
BBU.
Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to intermediate
frequency (IF) signals, amplifies the IF signals, and performs analog-to-digital
conversion. The transmit (TX) channel filters downlink signals, performs
digital-to-analog conversion, and up-converts RF signals to the TX band.
Multiplexes receive (RX) and TX signals on the RF channel, which enables these signals
to share the same antenna path. It also filters the RX and TX signals.
Provides a built-in Bias Tee (BT). The built-in BT couples RF signals and OOK signals
and transmits them through the TX/RX port A. The built-in BT also supplies power to
the tower mounted amplifier (TMA).
The RU can be powered by the AC/DC power module. In this case, this RU is called AC
RU. For details about the AC/DC power module, see the AC/DC Power Module User Guide or OPM15M User Guide.
2.3 RU Technical Specifications
This section describes technical specifications of an RU, including supported modes,
frequency bands, RF specifications, engineering specifications, and antenna capabilities.
For details about technical specifications of an RU, see section "Technical Specifications of
RUs" in the 3900 Series Base Station Technical Description.
