A single SDR set with an all-inclusive softwarerepertoire can be used in any mode, anywhere in the world. Changing the service type, themode, and/or the modulation protocol involves simply selecting and launching the requisitecomputer program. A SDR PCIx Host Card is shown in Figure 1.Figure 1. SDR PCIx Host CardSoftware Defined Radio (SDR) allows a single device to adapt to different communicationsenvironments and systems by selecting the most appropriate protocol and frequency needed fora link. One device may work with a wireless local area network protocol in the city, and then bereconfigured to work with terrestrial and satellite protocols to deliver broadband applications torural and remote areas.SDR works much like desktop computing, where a single hardware platform carries out manyfunctions based on the software applications loaded. SDR uses software to perform radio-signalprocessing functions instead of using resistors, capacitors, feedback loops, or application-specific integrated circuits.19307-APIN1

ADCP-75-198 • Issue 1 • October 2005Page 9© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.3.3 Optical Cabling3.3.1 Optical Options and RequirementsEach SDR PCIx Host Card and its associated remote (radio head) unit is connected over a pair ofoptical fibers. One fiber transports the forward path optical signal and the other fiber transports thereverse path optical signal. When diversity is used a third fiber is connected to the REV DIV port. 9/125 single-mode optical fiber is used for the optical transport connection. With 9/125 single-modefiber, the optical path may be up to 10 kilometers in length. Optical fibers must be terminated withduplex LC connectors for connection with the SDR card. Remote unit has SC connectors.The maximum length of the optical links is dependent on the loss specifications of the opticalfiber and the losses imposed by the various connectors and splices. The system provides anoptical budget of 20dB (typical) when used with 9/125 single-mode fiber. Whenever possible, use conduit or a guideway to route optical fibers between the SDR PCIxHost card and the remote (radio head) unit. Avoid routing optical fibers through ladder typecable racks or troughs that do not provide sufficient support to limit bending or preventaccidental damage. Tie-wrapping is not recommended as a means of securing fiber optic cables.Provide sufficient slack at each unit for connecting each fiber to the required port. Fibers may bepre-terminated or terminated on-site using field-installable LC type connectors.3.3.2 Optical ConnectionsThe optical interface between the SDR PCIx Host card and the remote (radio head) unit issupported by two optical ports. Each of the SDR PCIx Host card optical ports provides a duplexLC-type optical transceiver which is mounted on the SDR PCIx Host card front. The remote(radio head) unit has SC connectors.The FWD and REV ports provide forward and reverse optical communications channels in anon-diversity system. The REV DIV port provides receive optics for a diversity system SeeTable 1 for transceiver port designations. See Figure 3 for port designations.Note: To insure that all optical connectors and transceivers remain dust-free duringinstallation, leave all dust caps and dust protectors in place until directed to remove themfor connection.Table 1.
