    1 RF Module and Remote Radio Headoperation and main blocks

    The RF Module and Remote Radio Head (RRH) are stand-alone fullyoperational transceiver modules with integrated antenna filters. The RF

    Module is able to support one to three sectors, whereas the RRH supports

    one sector in a Flexi WCDMA base station. The RF Module and RRH host

    the RF functionality and provide control and power supply to the Flexi

    Antenna Line. Radio-related signal processing is performed in the RF

    Module. The RF Module has integrated fans and Bias-Ts. The RRH does

    not have any fans.

    There are three types of RF Modules available:

    .

    Triple RF Module

    . Dual RF Module

    . Single RF Module

    For detailed information on delivery contents, see Contents of the RF

    Module Deliveryin the Installing Flexi WCDMA BTS Modules for Stack,

    Wall, and Pole Configurationsdocument.

    Caution

    Incorrect cables and seals may not provide secured weather protection.

    In outdoor installations, including the outdoor cabinet, use only tested,

    at least IP55 class outdoor antenna jumper cables provided by NokiaSiemens Networks. This is also recommended for indoor installations.

    The following versions of the RF Module and Remote Radio Head are

    available:

    . Transceivers with TX for two carriers (three transceivers in the Triple

    RF Module, two in the Dual and one in the Single RF Module). Transceivers with RX for two carriers with diversity (the carriers must

    be adjacent) (three transceivers in the Triple RF Module, two in theDual and one in the Single RF Module)

    . Linear power amplifiers (three in the Triple RF Module, two in the

    Dual and one in the Single RF Module)

    . RF filters with main and div branch (three in the Triple RF Module,

    two in the Dual and one in the Single RF Module)

    . 48 V DC input power supply

    . Masthead amplifier and 3GPP Antenna tilt power feed and control for

    up to three sectors

    . Interface to the System Module

    . Interface for chaining System Modules (Triple RF Module only)

    . Integrated fan assembly (two fans)

    . Full operational bandwidth support

    . Antenna connector interfaces

    .

    Prepared for AISG2.0

    The Triple RF Module has three independent transceivers each composed

    of one transmitter chain and two independent uplink chains to implement

    uplink diversity. The unit integrates an antenna filter unit that contains three

    filter blocks, each composed of one duplex filter (main antenna) and RX

    filter (diversity antenna), providing six antenna connectors for the BTS

    antenna line. The transceivers can be configured independently to dual or

    single carrier modes.

    The Dual RF Module has four dual carrier receivers that facilitate two dual

    carrier receivers with 2-way uplink diversity and it can therefore supportmultiple configurations.

    The Single RF Module is a half capacity version of the Dual RF Module. It

    has one TX/RX output that supports a maximum of two TX carriers (two

    carriers per TX chain). There is one RX output connector as well.

    The RF Module uses nominal 48 V DC for internal power supply. The

    FRGD can also use nominal 100/240 V AC (optional unit), which increases

    the power consumption by approximately 10 %.

    12/33

    The main and diversity branches include Bias-Ts with lightning strike

    protectors (Single and Dual RF Module). The main branch (Tx/Rx) Bias-Tis used for Flexi Antenna Line and MHA support. It supports Current

    Window Alarm (CWA) mode, and 3GPP and AISG 2.0 interfaces (the

    FRGJ and FRGK also support the proprietary AISG 1.1 interface for NBxx

    replacements). The diversity (Div Rx) branch Bias-T is only used for MHA

    support in Current Window Alarm (CWA) mode. The main branch also

    includes an Antenna Line VSWR Monitor (power meter for forward and

    reflected voltage ratio measuring). The operating voltages fed via main

    antenna line are 0 V DC/+12 V DC/+28.5 V DC and via diversity antenna

    line 0 V DC/+12 V DC.

    The VSWR monitoring system is used for producing alarms for the

    antenna line condition against alarm threshold (RRH, Single, Dual andTriple RF Module). As a default setting, the minor alarm will be generated

    when the VSWR is 1.9 and major alarm (cell down) will be generated when

    the VSWR is 2.6. However, it is possible to adjust both minor and major

    alarm threshold between 1.5-3.5. The antenna line does not provide any

    alarms without a valid licence (Line Supervision RAN907LK).

    AISG1.1 RET Antenna Line Device configuration is supported with the

    FRGG, FRGF, FRGJ, and FRGK.

    The Remote Radio Head hosts the RF functionality and provides control

    and power supply to Flexi Antenna Line. The Remote Radio Head has the

    following properties:

    . DC power supply for 48 VDC

    . Integrated Over Voltage Protection (OVP)

    . External alarms

    14/33

    The functionality of the RRH is similar to the functionality of the Single RF

    Module with the exception that the RRH does not have any fans. The RRHsupports the VSWR monitoring system and is AISG2.0 compatible. The

    RRH has one TX output that supports a maximum of two TX carriers (two

    carriers per TX chain). See the numbers of RF connectors and carriers in

    the following table.

    FRGG

    # TX/RX connectors 1

    # RX connectors 1

    # carriers 2 (3 HW prepared)

    Functional blocks

    The RF Module and RRH include the following functional blocks:

    . RF control block: There are interfaces from the RF control block

    towards the System Module through optical connection. Most unit

    internal connections are made from the RF control block. Signal

    processing and unit control functionalities are located in this block.

    . TX block: Analogue RF parts are located in the TX block.

    . PA block: The power amplifier block amplifies TX block output signal

    to a specified output power level.

    . RX block: In dual version, the RX block includes four 2-carrier

    receivers and in Single RF Module two 2-carrier receivers.

    . Antenna filter block: Antenna filtering for TX and RX signals is done

    in the Antenna filter block.

    In the Single version, there is only one TX block, PA block and Antenna

    filter block. In the RX block, only half of the blocks components are

    installed.

    RF Module versions FRGJ and FRGK support 2100 MHz band with high

    gain MHA. The FRGJ and FRGK can be used with NBxx replacements

    having 24 dB TMA installation, thus existing TMAs can be utilised.

    The FRGJ and FRGK support 2100 MHz band with high gain MHA from 0

    dB to 33 dB.

    The values are given for the 2.1 GHz radio frequency (RF) module. For

    other RF module variants, power consumption can increase by a

    maximum of 10 %.

    In case the Single RF Module uses an optional AC power supply (FPAB),

    the power consumption is 10% higher compared to the values in the table

    The values in the above table do not include the power consumption of the

    heater which is 80W in cold temperatures below 0C (32F). In case the

    Remote Radio Head uses an optional AC power supply, the power

    consumption is 10% higher compared to the values in the table above.

    Table 6. Power consumption of the Remote Radio Head (FRGG)

    RF load 60W mode100% 265 W

    50% 205 W

    10% 120 W

    Worst case 310 W

    Note that these values are applicable under normal operating conditions,

    in 1 carrier mode and in middle frequency.

    6 RF Module and Remote Radio Head LEDindications

    The RF Module and Remote Radio Head have two LEDs on the frontpanel to indicate the operational status of the module and all fault

    conditions during operation. Read the information on LED indications

    thoroughly. A blinking red LED does not always require removing the

    module.

    RF Module LED indications

    The RF Module LEDs are as follows:

    . one for the RF core functional block

    . one for the fans in the RF Module

    The LED indications of the RF Module are listed and explained in the

    tables below.

    Table 12. RF Module core LED indications

    Colour Explanation

    Red Module self test or reset (LED red for < 5

    second) or major alarm

    Red, blinking Minor alarm

    Yellow Module on and waiting or blocked

    Yellow, blinking SW download or configuration ongoing,

    module non-operational

    Green Module operational (cell can be locked in

    RNC)

    Green, blinking Module is loading software or parameters

    or local maintenance access when

    modules are operational
