Operating Instructions for the SpectraPoint CPE Roof Unit Transceiver (Stand-Alone
Configuration)
The SpectraPoint Wireless Customer Premises Equipment Roof Unit transceiver, under
operational conditions is under control of the SpectraPoint Element Controller and Network
Management software which automatically determines the operating frequencies and power
levels and monitors the performance of the system.
The User Manuals delivered with the SpectraPoint System describes the installation of the
entire system but does not include stand-alone operation of the individual components of the
system. Therefore, this document describes the equipment setup and operation employed for
stand-alone operation of the CPE Roof Unit transceiver, as applicable to compliance testing.
For stand-alone testing such as functional checkout or compliance testing, this user’s manual
provides the instructions so that the Roof Unit transceiver may be operated at maximum rated
output power with automatic power control disabled. In addition, the Roof Unit may be
commanded to various operating frequencies within the allocated band of operation and
modulated with actual or simulated IF input signals.

Instructions for Stand-Alone Operation
1.0 Scope
This document provides the instructions for operation of a single CPE Roof Unit
transceiver for test purposes (i.e., without the control of the SpectraPoint System).
2.0 Introduction
The CPE Roof Unit transceivers, when operating under control of the SpectraPoint
System, receive an RF reference tone and QPSK modulated RF signals (downstream
T1 telephony, digitized video or digital data) from one or more SpectraPoint Node
Transmitters (LMDS hub). The CPE Roof Unit likewise transmits a QPSK modulated RF
signal (upstream) from the CPE Network Interface Unit (NIU) to the SpectraPoint Node
Receivers (LMDS hub).
For test purposes, the QPSK modulated input signal to the Roof Unit transmitter, at the
appropriate center frequency, modulation, bandwidth and level must be provided by test
hardware and software which is defined in this document.

3.0 Interconnection of Support Equipment
The interconnection of the CPE Roof unit with the test fixture and support equipment is
shown in figure 8-1. The support hardware and software is shown in Table 8-1.
Using this support test equipment, the CPE Roof Unit will produce a single QPSK phase
modulated output at user-selected bandwidths (as in the SpectraPoint System).
4.0 Description of the Test and Support Equipment
The support equipment required to operate the CPE Roof Unit in a stand-alone mode is
shown in Figure 8-1 and consists of:
• DC power source for the Roof Unit electronics card
• transmit enable signal
• DC Blocks for both the transmit and receive cables to protect the signal sources and
test equipment
• source of the QPSK digitally-modulated signal (Rohde & Schwarz AMIQ Arbitrary
Waveform Generator and SMIQ Vector Signal Generator)
• Personal Computer with WinSim software to generate the QPSK I and Q Signals at
the AMIQ

4.1 Generation of QPSK Test Signals
Test signals for the CPE Roof Unit, simulating I/F input from the SpectraPoint Network
Interface Unit (NIU), are generated in the AMIQ and transferred by operator command to
the SMIQ.
The WinSim software program is launched by double-clicking on the WinSim icon or by
selection from the Windows Program Start menu. The modulation parameters may be
manually entered through the PC keyboard or recalled from predefined parameters
stored on disk.
The NIU is capable of generating QPSK-modulated signals ranging from
approximately1.5 MHz bandwidth to 14.5 MHz bandwidth depending on a variety of
operating rates and error correction schemes required for reliable operation of an
SpectraPoint LMDS installation. The CPE Roof Unit test and support equipment has the
capability to simulate these complex signals and provide the DC power and enable
command to operate the unit for test and analysis.
4.2 Test Signals
Two standard signals are stored as data files on disk, one having a low data rate
representing the narrowest bandwidth signal that will be produced by the NIU in
operation, and one having a high data rate representing the widest bandwidth signal that
will be produced by the NIU in operation. Refer to Table 8-1 for these parameters.
