All events occurring in a system, defined as a Fusion Wideband Main Hub and all of its associated Expansion Hubs and Remote Access Units, are automat-ically reported to the Main Hub. The Main Hub monitors system status and communi-cates that status using the following methods:• Normally closed (NC) alarm contact closures can be tied to standard NC alarm monitoring systems or directly to a base station for basic alarm monitoring.• Connection Methods:• The Main Hub’s front panel RJ-45 port connects directly to a PC (for local Ethernet access). • The Main Hub’s front panel RS-232 serial port connects directly to a modem (for remote access). • Remote access is also available with an optional 100BASE-T LAN switch con-nections to the RJ-45 port.Figure 2-3 Three Methods for OA&M CommunicationsAdminBrowser OA&M software runs on the Fusion Wideband Main Hub micropro-cessor and communicates to its downstream Expansion Hubs and associated RAUs.

The results of this monitoring are stored in memory and compared against new results.When a Main or Expansion Hub detects a change in status, it reports a fault or warn-ing alarm. Faults are also indicated locally by red status LEDs. Both faults and warn-ings are reported to AdminBrowser software and displayed on a PC/laptop connected to the Main Hub’s RJ-45 port. Passive antennas connected to the RAUs are not moni-tored automatically. Perform a System Test to retrieve status information about antennas.Using AdminBrowser, you can install a new system or new components, change sys-tem parameters, and query system status.

This requires the following steps:1. Determine the wireless service provider’s requirements: Refer to Section 6.2, “Downlink RSSI Design Goal,” on page 6-3.The following information is typically provided by the service provider:• Frequency (for example, 1900 MHz)• Band (for example, “A-F” band in the PCS spectrum)• Protocol (for example, CDMA, GSM, 1xRTT, GPRS, and so on)• Number of sectors and peak capacity per sector (translates to the number of RF carriers that the system will have to transmit)• Downlink RSSI design goal (RSSI, received signal strength at the wireless handset, for example, –85 dBm)

Overview6-2 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev CThe design goal is always a stronger signal than the mobile phone needs. It includes inherent factors which affect performance.• RF source (base station or bidirectional amplifier or repeater), type of equip-ment if possible.2. Determine the downlink power per carrier from the RF source through the DAS: Refer to Section 6.3, “Maximum Output Power per Carrier,” on page 6-4.The maximum power per carrier is a function of modulation type, the number of RF carriers, signal quality issues, regulatory emissions requirements, and Fusion Wideband’s RF performance. Power per carrier decreases as the number of carri-ers increases. 3. Develop an RF link budget: Refer to Section 6.5, “Estimating RF Coverage,” on page 6-14.Knowing both the power per carrier and RSSI design goal, you can develop an RF downlink link budget which estimates the allowable path loss from an RAU’s antenna to the wireless handset.allowable path loss = power per carrier + antenna gain – design goalSatisfactory performance can be expected as long as path loss is below this level.4. Determine the in-building environment: Refer to Section 6.5, “Estimating RF Coverage,” on page 6-14.• Determine which areas of the building require coverage (entire building, public areas, parking levels, and so on.)• Obtain floor plans to determine floor space of building and the wall layout of the proposed areas to be covered. Floor plans are also useful when you are selecting antenna locations.• If possible, determine the building’s construction materials (sheetrock, metal, concrete, and so on.)• Determine the type of environment:– Open layout (for example, a convention center)– Dense, close walls (for example, a hospital)– Mixed use (for example, an office building with hard wall offices and cubi-cles)5. Determine the appropriate estimated path loss slope that corresponds to the type of building and its layout, and estimate the coverage distance for each RAU: Refer to Section 6.5, “Estimating RF Coverage,” on page 6-14.Use the path loss slope (PLS), which gives a value to the RF propagation charac-teristics within the building, to convert the RF link budget into an estimate of the coverage distance per antenna. This helps establish the quantities of Fusion Wide-band equipment you need. The actual path loss slope that corresponds to the spe-cific RF environment inside the building can also be determined empirically by performing an RF site-survey of the building. This involves transmitting a cali-

Determine the items required to connect to the base station: Refer to Section 6.8, “Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station,” on page 6-35.Once you know the quantities of Fusion Wideband equipment to be used, you can determine the accessories (combiners/dividers, surge suppressors, repeaters, attenuators, circulators, and so on.) required to connect the system to the base sta-tion.The individual elements that must be considered in designing a Fusion Wideband solution are explained in the following sections.NOTE: Access the ADC Customer Portal at adc.com for on-line dimen-sioning and design tools.6.2 Downlink RSSI Design GoalWireless service providers typically provide a minimum downlink signal level and an associated confidence factor when specifying coverage requirements. These two fig-ures of merit are a function of wireless handset sensitivity and margins for fading and body loss. Wireless handset sensitivity is the weakest signal that the handset can pro-cess reliably and is a combination of the thermal noise in the channel, noise figure of the handset receiver front end and minimum required SNR. Fade margins for multi-path fading (fast or small-scale) and log-normal shadow fading (slow or large-scale) are determined by the desired confidence factor, and other factors. Downlink RSSI design goal calculations for the GSM protocol are shown below for a 95% area cover-age confidence factor.Noise Power10 Log (KT)+10 Log (200 KHz); K=1.38X10–23, T=300 degrees Kelvin–121 dBmWireless Handset Noise Figure 8 dBRequired SNR 9 dBMultipath Fade Margin95% Reliability for Rician K=6 dB6dBLog-normal Fade Margin95% Area/87% Edge Reliability for 35 dB PLS and 9 dB Sigma10 dBBody Attenuation + 3 dBDownlink RSSI Design Goal (PDesignGoal)Signal level received by wireless handset at edge of coverage area–85 dBm

Maximum Output Power per Carrier6-4 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev CDownlink design goals on the order of –85 dBm are typical for protocols, such as GSM. Wireless service providers may choose a higher level to ensure that in-building signal dominates any macro signal that may be leaking into the building.6.3 Maximum Output Power per CarrierThe following tables show the recommended maximum power per carrier out of the RAU 50 Ohm Type-N connector for different frequencies, protocols, and numbers of carriers. These maximum levels are dictated by RF signal quality and regulatory emissions issues. In general, as the number of RF carrier increases, the maximum power per carrier decreases. If these levels are exceeded, signal quality will be degraded and/or regulator requirements will be violated. The maximum input power to the Hub is determined by subtracting the system gain from the maximum output power of the RAU. System gain is software selectable from 0 dB to 15 dB in 1 dB steps. Additionally, both the uplink and downlink gain of each RAU can be attenu-ated 0 or 10 dB.When connecting a Hub to a base station or repeater, attenuation on the downlink is typically required to avoid exceeding Fusion Wideband’s maximum output power recommendations.WARNING: Exceeding the maximum input power may cause perma-nent damage to the Hub. Do not exceed the maximum composite input power of 1W (+30 dBm) to the Hub at any time.NOTE: These specifications are for downlink power at the RAU output (excluding antenna).

Help Hot Line (U.S. only): 1-800-530-9960 6-11D-620616-0-20 Rev C CONFIDENTIALMaximum Output Power per CarrierDesigning for Capacity GrowthFusion Wideband systems are deployed to enhance in-building coverage and/or to off-load capacity from a macro cell site. In many instances, subscriber usage increases with time and the wireless provider responds by increasing the load on the installed Fusion Wideband system. For example, the initial deployment might only require two RF carriers, but four RF carriers may be needed in the future based on capacity growth forecasts. There are two options for dealing with this scenario:1. Design the initial coverage with a maximum power per carrier for four RF carri-ers. This will likely result in additional RAUs.2. Design the initial coverage for two RF carriers, but reserve RAU ports on the Hub for future use. These ports can be used to fill potential coverage holes once the power per carrier is lowered to accommodate the two additional carriers.

System Gain6-12 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev C6.4 System GainThe system gain of the Fusion Wideband defaults to 0 dB or can be set up to 15 dB in 1 dB increments. In addition, uplink and downlink gains of each RAU can be inde-pendently attenuated by 0 or 10 dB using AdminBrowser. The recommended maximum lengths of CATV cable are as follows:• For RG-59 cable 130 meters for CommScope PN 2065V. • For RG-6 cable 140 meters for CommScope PN 2279V.• For RG-11 cable 235 meters for CommScope PN 2293K.If the maximum distance is not required, then copper-clad over steel center-conductor cable may be use to reduce cable costs.If the CATV cable is longer than the recommended distance per cable type, the gain of the system will decrease, as shown in Table 6-9.

Estimating RF Coverage6-14 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev C6.5 Estimating RF CoverageThe maximum output power per carrier (based on the number and type of RF carriers being transmitted) and the minimum acceptable received power at the wireless device (that is, the RSSI design goal) essentially establish the RF downlink budget and, con-sequently, the maximum allowable path loss (APL) between the RAU’s antenna and the wireless device. Since in-building systems, such as the Fusion Wideband, are gen-erally downlink-limited, this approach is applicable in the majority of deployments.Figure 6-1 Determining APL between the Antenna and the Wireless DeviceAPL = (P – Lcoax + G) – RSSI (1)where:• APL = the maximum allowable path loss in dB• P = the power per carrier transmitted by the RAU in dBm•Lcoax = the coaxial cable loss between the RAU and passive antenna in dB• G = the gain of the passive antenna in dBiCoaxial cable is used to connect the RAU to an antenna. Table 6-10 lists coaxial cable loss for various cable lengths.You can calculate the distance, d, corresponding to the maximum allowable path loss using equations introduced in the following sections.Table 6-10 Coaxial Cable Losses (Lcoax)Length of Cable(.195 in. diameter) Loss at 850 MHz (dB) Loss at1900 MHz (dB)0.9 m (3 ft) 0.6 0.81.8 m (6 ft) 1.0 1.53.0 m (10 ft) 1.5 2.3RAUP = power per Distance = dG = Antenna GainRSSI = power at thewireless devicecarrier from the RAULcoax = Coaxial cable loss

Design goals:• PCS (1920 MHz = average of the lowest uplink and the highest downlink fre-quency in 1900 MHz PCS band)• CDMA provider• 8 CDMA carriers in the system• –85 dBm design goal (to 95% of the building) — the minimum received power at the wireless device• Base station with simplex RF connections2. Power Per Carrier: The tables in Section 6.3, “Maximum Output Power per Car-rier,” on page 6-4 provide maximum power per carrier information. The 1900 MHz CDMA table indicates that Fusion Wideband can support eight carriers with a recommended maximum power per carrier of 6.5 dBm. The input power should be set to the desired output power minus the system gain.3. Building information:• 16 floor building with 9,290 sq. meters (100,000 sq. ft.) per floor; total 148,640 sq. meters (1,600,000 sq. ft.).• Walls are sheetrock construction, suspended ceiling tiles.• Antennas used are omni-directional, ceiling mounted.• Standard office environment, 80% hard wall offices and 20% cubicles.4. Link Budget: In this example, a design goal of –85 dBm is used. Suppose 3 dBi omni-directional antennas are used in the design. Then, the maximum RF propa-gation loss should be no more than 94.5 dB (6.5 dBm + 3 dBi + 85 dBm) over 95% of the area being covered. It is important to note that a design goal such as –85 dBm is usually derived taking into account multipath fading and log-normal shadowing characteristics. Thus, this design goal will only be met “on average” over 95% of the area being covered. At any given point, a fade may bring the sig-nal level underneath the design goal.Note that this method of calculating a link budget is only for the downlink path. For information to calculate link budgets for both the downlink and uplink paths, refer to Section 6.6 on page 6-22.5. Path Loss Slope: For a rough estimate, Table 6-13, “Estimated Path Loss Slope for Different In-Building Environments” on page 6-16, shows that a building with 80% hard wall offices and 20% cubicles, at 1920 MHz, has an approximate path loss slope (PLS) of 38.1. Given the RF link budget of 94.5 dB, the distance of coverage from each RAU will be 30.2 meters (99 ft). This corresponds to a coverage area of 2,868 sq. meters (30,854 sq. ft.) per RAU (refer to Section 6.5.1 for details on path loss estimation). For this case we assumed a circular radiation pattern, though the actual area covered depends upon the pattern of the antenna and the obstructions in the facility.

Equipment Required: Since you know the building size, you can now estimate the Fusion Wideband equipment quantities needed. Before you test any RF levels in the building, you can estimate that four antennas per level will be needed. This assumes no propagation between floors. If there is propagation, you may not need antennas on every floor.a. 4 antennas per floor × 16 floors = 64 RAUsb. 64 RAUs ÷ 8 (maximum 8 RAUs per Expansion Hub) = 8 Expansion Hubsc. 8 Expansion Hubs ÷ 4 (maximum 4 Expansion Hubs per Main Hub) = 2 Main HubsCheck that the fiber and CATV cable distances are as recommended. If the dis-tances differ, use the tables in Section 6.4, “System Gain,” on page 6-12 to deter-mine system gains or losses. The path loss may need to be recalculated to assure adequate signal levels in the required coverage distance.The above estimates assume that all cable length requirements are met. If Expansion Hubs cannot be placed so that the RAUs are within the distance requirement, addi-tional Expansion Hubs may need to be placed closer to the required RAUs locations.An RF Site Survey and Building Evaluation is required to accurately establish the Fusion Wideband equipment quantities required for the building. The site survey measures the RF losses within the building to determine the actual PLS, used in the final path loss formula to determine the actual requirements of the Fusion Wideband system.

Link Budget Analysis6-22 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev C6.6 Link Budget AnalysisA link budget is a methodical way to account for the gains and losses in an RF system so that the quality of coverage can be predicted. The end result can often be stated as a “design goal” in which the coverage is determined by the maximum distance from each RAU before the signal strength falls beneath that goal.One key feature of the link budget is the maximum power per carrier explained in Section 6.3. While the maximum power per carrier is important as far as emissions and signal quality requirements are concerned, it is critical that the maximum signal into the Main Hub never exceed 1W (+30 dBm). Composite power levels above this limit will cause damage to the Main Hub.WARNING: Exceeding the maximum input power of 1W (+30 dBm) could cause permanent damage to the Main Hub.NOTE: Visit the ADC customer portal at adc.com for the on-line Link Bud-get Tool.6.6.1 Elements of a Link Budget for Narrowband StandardsThe link budget represents a typical calculation that might be used to determine how much path loss can be afforded in a Fusion Wideband design. This link budget ana-lyzes both the downlink and uplink paths. For most configurations, the downlink requires lower path loss and is therefore the limiting factor in the system design. It is for this reason that a predetermined “design goal” for the downlink is sufficient to predict coverage distance.The link budget is organized in a simple manner: the transmitted power is calculated, the airlink losses due to fading and body loss are summed, and the receiver sensitivity (minimum level a signal can be received for acceptable call quality) is calculated. The maximum allowable path loss (in dB) is the difference between the transmitted power, less the airlink losses, and the receiver sensitivity. From the path loss, the maximum coverage distance can be estimated using the path loss formula presented in Section 6.5.1.Table 6-21 provides link budget considerations for narrowband systems.

On the downlink, attenuation must be chosen so that the maximum power per carrier going into the Main Hub does not exceed the levels given in Section 6.3. On the uplink, attenuation is chosen to keep the maximum uplink signal and noise level low enough to prevent base station alarms but small enough not to cause degradation in the system sensitivity.If the Fusion Wideband noise figure minus the attenuation is at least 10 dB higher than the BTS noise figure, the system noise figure is approximately that of Fusion Wideband alone. Refer to Sec-tion 6.8 for ways to independently set the uplink and downlink attenuations between the base station and Fusion Wideband.Antenna Gain The radiated output power includes antenna gain. For example, if you use a 3 dBi antenna at the RAU that is transmitting 0 dBm per carrier, the effective radiated power (relative to an isotropic radi-ator) is 3 dBm per carrier.BTS Noise Figure This is the effective noise floor of the base station input (usually base station sensitivity is this effec-tive noise floor plus a certain C/I ratio).Fusion Wideband Noise Figure This is Fusion Wideband’s uplink noise figure, which varies depending on the number of Expansion Hubs and RAUs, and the frequency band. Fusion Wideband’s uplink noise figure is specified for a 1-1-8 configuration. Thus, the noise figure for a Fusion Wideband system (or multiple systems whose uplink ports are power combined) is NF(1-1-8) + 10*log(# of Expansion Hubs). This repre-sents an upper-bound because the noise figure is lower if any of the Expansion Hub’s RAU ports are not used.Thermal Noise This is the noise level in the signal bandwidth (BW). Thermal noise power = –174 dBm/Hz + 10Log(BW).Required C/I ratio For each wireless standard, a certain C/I (carrier to interference) ratio is needed to obtain acceptable demodulation performance. For narrowband systems, (TDMA, GSM, EDGE, iDEN, AMPS) this level varies from about 9 dB to 20 dB.Mobile Transmit Power The maximum power the mobile can transmit (power transmitted at highest power level setting).Multipath Fade Margin This margin allows for a certain level of fading due to multipath interference. Inside buildings there is often one or more fairly strong signals and many weaker signals arriving from reflections and dif-fraction. Signals arriving from multiple paths add constructively or destructively. This margin accounts for the possibility of destructive multipath interference. In RF site surveys the effects of multipath fading are typically not accounted for because such fading is averaged out over power level samples taken over many locations.Protocol Signal Bandwidth Thermal NoiseTDMA 30 kHz –129 dBmGSM 200 kHz –121 dBmiDEN 25 kHz –130 dBm$

Link Budget Analysis6-24 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev CLog-normal Fade Margin This margin adds an allowance for RF shadowing due to objects obstructing the direct path between the mobile equipment and the RAU. In RF site surveys, the effects of shadowing are partially accounted for since it is characterized by relatively slow changes in power level.Body Loss This accounts for RF attenuation caused by the user’s head and body.Minimum Received Signal Level This is also referred to as the “design goal”. The link budget says that you can achieve adequate cov-erage if the signal level is, on average, above this level over 95% of the area covered, for example.Table 6-21 Link Budget Considerations for Narrowband Systems (continued)Consideration Description

Unlike narrowband standards such as TDMA and GSM, CDMA signals are spread over a relatively wide frequency band. Upon recep-tion, the CDMA signal is de-spread. In the de-spreading process the power in the received signal becomes concentrated into a narrow band, whereas the noise level remains unchanged. Hence, the signal-to-noise ratio of the de-spread signal is higher than that of the CDMA signal before de-spreading. This increase is called processing gain. For IS-95 and J-STD-008, the processing gain is 21 dB or 19 dB depending on the user data rate (9.6 Kbps for rate set 1 and 14.4 Kbps for rate set 2, respectively). Because of the processing gain, a CDMA signal (comprising one Walsh code channel within the composite CDMA signal) can be received at a lower level than that required for narrowband signals. A reasonable level is –95 dBm, which results in about –85 dBm composite as shown below.An important issue to keep in mind is that the downlink CDMA signal is composed of many orthogonal channels: pilot, paging, sync, and traffic. The composite power level is the sum of the powers from the individual channels. Table 6-24 shows an example.This table assumes that there are 15 active traffic channels operating with 50% voice activity (so that the total power adds up to 100%). Notice that the pilot and sync chan-nels together contribute about 25% of the power. When measuring the power in a CDMA signal you must be aware that if only the pilot and sync channels are active, the power level will be about 6 to 7 dB lower than the maximum power level you can expect when all voice channels are active. The implication is that if only the pilot and sync channels are active, and the maximum power per carrier table says that you should not exceed 10 dBm for a CDMA signal, for example, then you should set the attenuation between the base station and the Main Hub so that the Main Hub receives 3 dBm (assuming 0 dB system gain).An additional consideration for CDMA systems is that the uplink and downlink paths should be gain and noise balanced. This is required for proper operation of soft-hand-off to the outdoor network as well as preventing excess interference that is caused by mobiles on the indoor system transmitting at power levels that are not coordinated with the outdoor mobiles. This balance is achieved if the power level transmitted by the mobiles under close-loop power control is similar to the power level transmitted under open-loop power control. Table 6-24 Distribution of Power within a CDMA SignalChannel Walsh Code Number Relative Power LevelPilot 0 20% –7.0 dBSync 32 5% –13.3 dBPrimary Paging 1 19% –7.3 dBTraffic 8–31, 33–63 9% (per traffic channel) –10.3 dB

Link Budget Analysis6-28 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev CThe open-loop power control equation isPTX + PRX = –73 dBm (for Cellular, IS-95)PTX + PRX = –76 dBm (for PCS, J-STD-008)where PTX is the mobile’s transmitted power and PRX is the power received by the mobile.The power level transmitted under closed-loop power control is adjusted by the base station to achieve a certain Eb/N0 (explained in Table 6-25 on page 6-28). The differ-ence between these power levels, ΔP, can be estimated by comparing the power radi-ated from the RAU, Pdownink, to the minimum received signal, Puplink, at the RAU:ΔP = Pdownink + Puplink + 73 dBm (for Cellular)ΔP = Pdownink + Puplink + 76 dBm (for PCS)It’s a good idea to keep –12 dB < ΔP < 12 dB.Table 6-25 provides link budget considerations for CDMA systems.Table 6-25 Additional Link Budget Considerations for CDMAConsideration DescriptionMultipath Fade Margin The multipath fade margin can be reduced (by at least 3 dB) by using different lengths of optical fiber (this is called “delay diversity”). The delay over fiber is approximately 5µS/km. If the difference in fiber lengths to Expansion Hubs with overlapping coverage areas produces at least 1 chip (0.8µS) delay of one path relative to the other, then the multipaths’ signals can be resolved and processed independently by the base station’s rake receiver. A CDMA signal traveling through 163 meters of MMF cable is delayed by approximately one chip. Power per car-rier, downlink This depends on how many channels are active. For example, the signal is about 7 dB lower if only the pilot, sync, and paging channels are active compared to a fully-loaded CDMA signal. Furthermore, in the CDMA forward link, voice channels are turned off when the user is not speaking. On average this is assumed to be about 50% of the time. So, in the spreadsheet, both the power per Walsh code channel (rep-resenting how much signal a mobile will receive on the Walsh code that it is de-spreading) and the total power are used.The channel power is needed to determine the maximum path loss, and the total power is needed to deter-mine how hard the Fusion Wideband system is being driven.The total power for a fully-loaded CDMA signal is given by (approximately):total power = voice channel power + 13 dB + 10log10 (50%)= voice channel power + 10 dBInformation Rate This is simply 10log10(9.6 Kbps) = 40 dB for rate set 110log10(14.4 Kbps) = 42 dB for rate set 2

Help Hot Line (U.S. only): 1-800-530-9960 6-29D-620616-0-20 Rev C CONFIDENTIALLink Budget AnalysisOther CDMA Issues• Never combine multiple sectors (more than one CDMA signal at the same fre-quency) into a Fusion Wideband system. The combined CDMA signals will inter-fere with each other.• Try to minimize overlap between in-building coverage areas that utilize different sectors, as well as in-building coverage and outdoor coverage areas. This is impor-tant because any area in which more than one dominant pilot signal (at the same frequency) is measured by the mobile will result in soft-handoff. Soft-handoff decreases the overall network capacity by allocating multiple channel resources to a single mobile phone.Process Gain The process of de-spreading the desired signal boosts that signal relative to the noise and interference. This gain needs to be included in the link budget. In the following formulas, PG = process gain:PG = 10log10(1.25 MHz / 9.6 Kbps) = 21 dB rate set 1PG = 10log10(1.25 MHz / 14.4 Kbps) = 19 dB rate set 2Note that the process gain can also be expressed as 10log10 (CDMA bandwidth) minus the information rate.Eb/No This is the energy-per-bit divided by the received noise and interference. It’s the CDMA equivalent of sig-nal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This figure depends on the mobile’s receiver and the multipath environment. For example, the multipath delays inside a building are usually too small for a rake receiver in the mobile (or base station) to resolve and coherently combine multipath components. However, if artificial delay can be introduced by, for instance, using different lengths of cable, then the required Eb/No is lower and the mul-tipath fade margin in the link budget can be reduced in some cases.If the receiver noise figure is NF (dB), then the receive sensitivity (dBm) is given by:Psensitivity = NF + Eb/No + thermal noise in a 1.25 MHz band – PG= NF + Eb/No – 113 (dBm/1.25 MHz) – PGNoise Rise On the uplink, the noise floor is determined not only by the Fusion Wideband system, but also by the num-ber of mobiles that are transmitting. This is because when the base station attempts to de-spread a particu-lar mobile’s signal, all other mobile signals appear to be noise. Because the noise floor rises as more mobiles try to communicate with a base station, the more mobiles there are, the more power they have to transmit. Hence, the noise floor rises rapidly:noise rise = 10log10(1 / (1 – loading))where loading is the number of users as a percentage of the theoretical maximum number of users.Typically, a base station is set to limit the loading to 75%. This noise ratio must be included in the link budget as a worst-case condition for uplink sensitivity. If there are less users than 75% of the maximum, then the uplink coverage will be better than predicted.Hand-off Gain CDMA supports soft hand-off, a process by which the mobile communicates simultaneously with more than one base station or more than one sector of a base station. Soft hand-off provides improved receive sensitivity because there are two or more receivers or transmitters involved. A line for hand-off gain is included in the CDMA link budgets worksheet although the gain is set to 0 dB because the in-building system will probably be designed to limit soft-handoff.Table 6-25 Additional Link Budget Considerations for CDMA (continued)Consideration Description

The connector losses associated with mating to these connectors is accounted for in the design and should not be included as elements of the optical power budget. The reason is that when the optical power budget is defined, measurements are taken with these connectors in place.The Fusion Wideband optical power budget for both multi-mode and sin-gle-mode fiber cable is 3.0 dB (optical).The maximum loss through the fiber can not exceed 3 dB (optical). The maximum lengths of the fiber cable should not exceed 500m (1,640 ft) for multi-mode and 6 km (19,685 ft) for single-mode. Both the optical budget and the maximum cable length must be taken into consideration when designing the system.NOTE: It is critical to system performance that only SC/APC fiber connectors are used throughout the fiber network, including fiber distribution panels.

This section explains how each band can be connected to its associated base station.Each Fusion Main Hub band has separate system gain parameters. For example, Band 1 can be set for +5 dB of downlink system gain while Band 2 can have +15 dB of downlink system gain. Thus, each band can be configured as a separate system to allow for full integration to its associated base station.When connecting each of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub bands to its base station, the following equipment may be required: circulators, filter diplexers, directional couplers, combiner/splitters, attenuators, coax cables, and connectors. In addition, use the following considerations to achieve optimal performance:1. The downlink power from the base stations must be attenuated enough so that the power radiated by the RAU does not exceed the maximum power per carrier listed in Section 6.3, “Maximum Output Power per Carrier,” on page 6-4.2. The uplink attenuation should be small enough that the sensitivity of the overall system is limited by Fusion Wideband, not by the attenuator. However, some base stations trigger alarms if the noise or signal levels are too high. In this case the attenuation must be large enough to prevent this from happening.CAUTION:The UPLINK and DOWNLINK ports cannot handle a DC power feed from a BTS. If DC power is present, a DC block must be used or the Fusion Wideband Main Hub may be damaged.If, in an area covered by Fusion Wideband, a mobile phone indicates good signal strength but consistently has difficulty completing calls, it is possible that the attenua-tion between Fusion Wideband and the base station needs to be adjusted. In other words, it is possible that if the uplink is over-attenuated, the downlink power will pro-vide good coverage, but the uplink coverage distance will be small.When there is an excessive amount of loss between the Fusion Wideband Main Hub uplink and its associated band’s base station, the uplink system gain can be increased to as much as 15 dB to prevent a reduction in the overall system sensitivity.6.8.1 Uplink AttenuationThe attenuation between the Main Hub’s uplink port and the associated band’s base station reduces both the noise level and the desired signals out of Fusion Wideband. Setting the attenuation on the uplink is a trade-off between keeping the noise and maximum signal levels transmitted from Fusion Wideband to the base station receiver low while not reducing the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of the path from the

Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station6-36 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev CRAU inputs to the base station inputs. This SNR can not be better than the SNR of Fusion Wideband by itself, although it can be significantly worse.A good rule of thumb is to set the uplink attenuation such that the noise level out of Fusion Wideband is within 10 dB of the base station’s sensitivity.6.8.2 RAU Attenuation and ALCThe RAU attenuation and ALC are set using the AdminBrowser Edit Unit Proper-ties screen.Embedded within the uplink RF front-end of each Fusion Wideband RAU band is an ALC circuit. This ALC circuit protects the Fusion Wideband system from overload and excessive intermodulation products due to high-powered mobiles or other signal sources that are within the supported frequency band and are in close proximity to the RAU.Each individual Band (1or 2) of a Fusion Wideband RAU has an uplink ALC circuit that operates as a feedback loop. A power detector measures the level of each band’s uplink RF input and if that level exceeds –30 dBm, an RF attenuator is activated. The level of attenuation is equal to the amount that the input exceeds –30 dBm. The fol-lowing sequence describes the operation of the ALC circuit, as illustrated in Figure 6-2.1. The RF signal level into either Band of the RAU rises above the activation thresh-old (–30 dBm), causing that ALC loop to enter into the attack phase.2. During the attack phase, the ALC loop increases the attenuation (0 to 30 dB) until the detector reading is reduced to the activation threshold. The duration of this attack phase is called the attack time.3. After the attack time, the ALC loop enters the hold phase and maintains a fixed attenuation so long as the high-level RF signal is present.4. The RF signal level drops below the release threshold (–45 dBm) and the ALC loop enters the release phase.5. During the release phase, the ALC loop holds the attenuation for a fixed period then quickly releases the attenuation. An important feature of the ALC loop is that in Step 3, the attenuation is maintained at a fixed level until the signal drops by a significant amount. This prevents the ALC loop from tracking variations in the RF signal itself and distorting the waveform modulation.

This is accom-plished by selecting the appropriate UPLINK and/or DOWNLINK attenuation for each RAU band in the Edit Unit Properties screen of AdminBrowser for the selected RAU.•Downlink Attenuation: The downlink attenuator provides a mechanism to reduce the signal strength from an RAU band. For instance, this could be for an RAU band located near a window in a tall building that is causing excessive leakage to the macro-network. In such a case it is important to attenuate the downlink only. The uplink should not be attenuated. If the uplink is attenuated, the uplink sensitiv-ity is reduced and mobile phones in the area of that RAU band will have to trans-mit at a higher power. This would increase interference to the outdoor network from such mobiles.•Uplink Attenuation: The uplink attenuator attenuates environmental noise picked up by an RAU band located in an area where heavy electrical machinery is operat-ing. In such environments the electrical noise can be quite high and it is useful to reduce the amount of such noise that gets propagated through the distributed antenna system. Attenuating the uplink of an RAU band located in areas of high electrical noise helps preserve the sensitivity of the rest of the system.The effect of activating the uplink or downlink attenuators is to reduce the coverage area of the adjusted RAU band. The coverage radius will be reduced by roughly a fac-tor of 2. More specifically, if d is the coverage distance without attenuation and d’ is the coverage radius with the attenuation, thenwhere PLS is path loss slope (dBm).Input SignalLevelActivationLevel-30dBmReleaseLevel-45dBmOutput SignalLevelTimeHoldPhaseReleasePhaseAttackPhase12345PLSdBdd/1010'=

Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station6-38 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev C6.8.2.2 Using the Uplink ALC SettingUplink automatic level control (UL ALC) circuitry for each band within the RAU provides automatic level control on high-power signals in the uplink path. This func-tionality is required to prevent RF signal compression caused by a single or multiple wireless devices in very close proximity to the RAU band. Compression causes signal degradation and, ultimately, dropped calls and data errors, and should be prevented. Two settings are available to optimize UL ALC performance:•Multiple Operators: Use when more than one operator and/or protocol is present in the Fusion Wideband system’s band frequency or adjacent frequency bands. This setting is most commonly used.•Single Operator and Protocol: Use when only one operator and protocol is on-the-air within the Fusion Wideband system’s configured and adjacent fre-quency bands. This setting is seldom used.

Do not con-nect an antenna that is installed in an outdoor location to an RAU. For outdoor installations, a protective enclosure is required.Installing RAUsMount all RAUs in the locations marked on the floor plans.Considerations:• You can place the unit, without its fastening hardware, on a flat surface, such as a shelf, desk, cabinet, or any other horizontal surface that allows stable placement with the mounting base facing down to the mounting surface. For mounting to other locations (that is, walls, ceilings, poles) the RAU must be securely mounted using the 4 slotted mounting holes provided with #6 diameter fasteners. This method of mounting must securely hold a minimum of 7 lbs. load.• Attach the RAU securely to a stationary object (that is, a wall, pole, or ceiling tile).• For proper ventilation:• Keep at least 76 mm (3 in.) clearance around the RAU to ensure proper venting.• Do not stack RAUs on top of each other.• Always mount the RAU with the solid face (containing the mounting holes) against the mounting surface.• For the 800/850/1900 MHz RAU (P/N: FSN-W2-808519-1), make sure the 800 MHz iDEN antenna and the 850/1900 MHz antenna are separated by enough space to reduce signal interference between the 800 and 850 MHz bands. Refer to “800/850 MHz Isolation Requirements” on page 7-33 for the recommended dis-tance between antennas.Installing Passive AntennasRefer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions to install passive antennas.LocationPassive antennas are usually installed below the ceiling. If they are installed above the ceiling, you must consider the additional loss due to the ceiling material when estimating the antenna coverage area.

Typically, sharp filters in the receiver front-end will reduce the interfering transmitters to tolerable levels. In select cases, the interferers may occupy a frequency band that is directly adjacent to the receiving band and cannot be adequately rejected by filtering. The only recourse in these situations is to provide sufficient isolation by physically separating the interfer-ing transmitters and receivers.iDEN occupies spectrum at both 800 MHz and 900 MHz (Tx:851–869/Rx:806–824 and Tx:935–941 /Rx:896–902), while the Cellular A and B carriers share a single 850 MHz block (Tx:869–894/Rx:824–849). The combination of these frequency bands, 800/900 MHz iDEN and 850 MHz Cellular, result in uplink (BTS receive) bands that are adjacent to downlink (BTS transmit) bands. Figure 7-19 depicts these nearly con-tiguous bands, with arrows indicating the interfering downlink and receiving uplink bands.Figure 7-19 800/850 MHz SpectrumInstallation of an in-building distributed antenna system (DAS) to provide coverage for both 800/900 MHz iDEN and 850 MHz Cellular must account for these down-link-to-uplink interference issues and provide adequate isolation. ADC offers the following guidelines toward achieving the proper amount of isolation when deploying ADC Fusion DAS products.Figure 7-20 Fusion Wideband 800/850/1900 MHz RAU Antenna Placement Guideline850 850896-902>dBand 1800 MHz Band 2/3850/1900 MHz

Because of this narrow spacing, 800 iDEN down-link intermodulation products may fall within the 850 Cellular uplink band. In addi-tion, 800 iDEN downlink signals near the lower edge of the band at 851 MHz may cause the 850 Cellular uplink automatic level control (ALC) circuitry in the RAU to engage and thereby reduce uplink gain.To prevent either of these conditions, use the following guidelines:• In-band 800 iDEN intermodulation products < -90dBm• Lower frequency 800 iDEN signals < –30dBm for FusionGiven a typical DAS configuration (4 iDEN carriers, omni-directional antennas, line of sight), these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d) of 6 – 9 meters.850 MHz Cellular Downlink and 900 MHz iDEN UplinkA 2 MHz frequency gap (896 – 894 MHz) separates the 850 Cellular downlink and 900 iDEN uplink frequency bands.

Splicing Fiber Optic Cable7-44 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev CNOTE: ADC equipment is designed to operate in the licensed frequency bands of mobile operators. In the USA, the EU, and most countries this equipment may only be used by the licensee, his authorized agents or those with written authorization to do so. Similarly, unauthorized use is illegal, and subjects the owner to the corresponding legal sanctions of the national jurisdiction involved. Ownership of ADC equipment carries no automatic right of use. 7.5 Splicing Fiber Optic CableThe fiber cable must have SC/APC connectors for the entire run. If it does not, you can splice a pigtail, which has SC/APC connectors, to the fiber cable.ADC offers two pigtails: one for single-mode fiber (PN 4013SCAPC-3) and one for multi-mode fiber (PN 4012SCAPC-3).ADC recommends fusion splices because they have the lowest splice loss and return loss. Mechanical splices have higher losses and higher back reflection than fusion splices and are not recommended.Using a fusion splicer involves fusing together two butted and cleaved ends of fiber. The fusion splicer aligns the fibers and maintains alignment during the fusion pro-cess. fusion splices have very low loss (typically less than 0.05 dB) and very low back reflection (return loss). Fusion splices should be organized in a splice tray designed to store and protect the splices.Fusion Splicing of Fiber and PigtailBefore you begin, make sure the fusion splicer is set to the proper mode (that is, single- or multi-mode).To fusion splice the fiber optic cable to the SC/APC pigtail: Option A1. Secure both the fiber cable and the SC/APC pigtail in a splice tray that is installed immediately adjacent to the Hub.2. Prepare the fiber end by cutting back the polyethylene jacket, the kevlar or fiber-glass strength members, the extruded coating, and the buffer coating in order to expose the “bare fiber” – cladding plus core.Ensure that sufficient slack is maintained in order to be able to reach the fusion splicer.3. Clean the unclad fiber core using isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.4. Cleave the unclad fiber to the length prescribed by the fusion splicer’s specifica-tion sheets.

These contacts are normally-closed (NC) and will open when an inter-nal alarm is detected.NOTE: The contact can be changed to normally-open (NO) with Admin-Browser. This is not recommended since no alarm would be sent if power to the Fusion Wideband Main Hub fails.• Fault is activated when any faults or disconnects are detected.• Warning is activated when any warning conditions are detected except lockout or when the end-to-end system test is not valid.• Alarm Sense (refer to Section 7.7.2 on page 7-60)The Fusion Wideband Main Hub can monitor 3 external alarm contacts. Each port can be configured for normally-open (NO) or normally-closed (NC) contacts. The interface expects a set of floating contacts, and an external voltage source is not required for this interface. Use AdminBrowser to monitor the port status.Table 7-8 lists the alarm types, equipment to which the Fusion Wideband Main Hub is connected, cable(s) used, and the faults and warnings that are detected.Table 7-8 Alarm TypesNote that FlexWave Focus supports only faults (major errors).Alarm TypeFusion Wideband Connected to Cable(s) Used Errors DetectedSource FlexWave 5-port Alarm Daisy-Chain Cable FaultsSource BTS 5-port Alarm Daisy-Chain Cable Faults and WarningsIn addition, a custom daisy-chain cable-to-BTS interface cable is required.

Troubleshooting9-4 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev C9.3.1 Troubleshooting Using AdminBrowserUse AdminBrowser software to determine the current faults and warnings for all of the units in the system. To troubleshoot, start with the Fusion Wideband Main Hub’s faults AND warnings, then proceed to each of the Expansion Hubs, finishing with each of the RAUs.NOTE: AdminBrowser v1.00 displays events (faults, warnings, or status messages) depending on your view preference. To change your view prefer-ence, refer to Section 3.3.2, “View Preference,” on page 3-10.System TroubleshootingUsing AdminBrowser, click SYSTEM INFORMATION, then click GET FAULTS, WARNINGS AND STATUSES. This gives the present status of the system, depending upon View Preferences for all components.Faults usually impact service; warnings may impact service; status messages contain information that should not be ignored, but indicate conditions that do not generally impact service.NOTE: System commands can take longer to execute compared to compo-nent commands.NOTE: This RAU icon indicates there is fault on the RAU. This icon indicates a disconnected device. You cannot request status on a discon-nected device.9.3.1.1 Troubleshooting RecommendationsSome actions that you can take, depending on the device fault or warning include, are as follows:a. Hardware faults on Expansion Hub. – Try swapping fiber with another Expansion Hub at the Main Hub. – Try cleaning the fiber and the fiber ports with alcohol foam tip swab and compressed air. See Section , “To clean the fiber ports:,” on page -2.– Power cycle the Expansion Hub.

Under System Con-figuration, click SHOW SYSTEM TREE and select a component. Then click SET OUT OF SERVICE/SET IN SERVICE.9.3.1.2 Fault/Warning/Status IndicationsOnce all of the units are powered on and the cable connections are made, the faults from each unit can be requested using AdminBrowser. Start with the Fusion Wide-band Main Hub and work downstream.Resolve all faults first and then check the warnings. Take appropriate action to resolve the faults, as indicated in the following tables. In cases where there is more than one possible cause, they are listed from the “most likely” to the “least likely” cause. Actions are listed in the order that they should be performed; not all actions may need to be done.NOTE: If you have a red STATUS LED without a fault message, it probably indicates that the unit is locked out.Refer to Appendix C for tables containing Fault, Warning, and Status messages and their meanings.9.3.2 Troubleshooting Using LEDsThe following troubleshooting guide is from the perspective that all Fusion Wideband equipment is installed, their cables are connected, and they are powered on; it is assumed that the system was operating normally before the problem to be diagnosed occurred. Always use AdminBrowser, if possible, to troubleshoot the system. The Fusion Wideband Main Hub and Expansion Hub LEDs are for backup troubleshooting. The RAU LEDs probably will not provide additional information for troubleshooting.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harm-ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.B.2 Human Exposure to RFThe U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed guidelines for evaluation of human exposure to RF emissions. The guidelines incorporate limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) for power density of transmitters operating at frequencies between 300 kHz and 100 GHz. Limits have been set for portable, mobile, and fixed equipment. ADC products fall in the category of fixed equipment; products intended to be permanently secured and exposures are evaluated for dis-tances greater than 20cm (7 7/8”). Portable devices fall into exposures of less than 20cm, are SAR evaluations are used.Antenna gain is restricted to 1.5 W ERP (2.49 W EIRP) in order to satisfy RF expo-sure compliance requirements. If higher than 1.5 W ERP, routine MPE evaluation is needed. The antennas should be installed to provide at least 20 cm from all persons to satisfy MPE requirements of FCC Part 2, 2.1091.Basic MPE evaluation is performed by taking the maximum power output of the equipment, the gain of the antenna to be used, and distance from the antenna, refer-enced in FCC OET Bulletin 65 “Evaluation Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency for Electric Fields”.ADC products transmit well below the FCC power density limits. FCC defines power output limits at 20cm distance for various frequency ranges:• Over 300 mHz to 1.5 GHz the limit is determined by frequency/1500• Above 1.5 GHz the limit is 1mW/cm2The basic equation for determining power density is:S = PG / 4πR2Where S is power density in mW/cm2

B-4 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference ManualCONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev CPG, the transmitted power from the antenna identified as EIRP (Equivalent Isotropi-cally Radiated Power), is the product of power output of device and antenna gain, in mW.R is the distance of interest from the antenna.Typical Installation Example:Assuming an antenna is placed on a 10 foot ceiling, for a person 6 feet tall, the dis-tance from antenna to body is 4 feet (112 cm.).For a PCS 1900 remote unit, the maximum power output, according to the power table in Section 6.3 Maximum Output Power per Carrier on page 6-4, is 16.5 dB.Assuming a 7 dBi antenna is used, PG in the equation is equal to 23.5 dB (224 mW) EIRP.Using S = PG/4πR2S = 224/(4x3.14) x (122)2 = 0.001 mW/cm2Also, assuming a minimum distance of 20 cm according to FCC regulations”S = 224/(4 x 3.14) x (20)2 = 0.04 mW/cm2

C-19The following tables contain messages for all versions of firmware, but all messages are not displayed by a given firmware version.C.1 Faults Reported by Main HubsFaults indicate service-impacting conditions and should be given immediate atten-tion.Once all of the units are powered on and the cable connections are made, the faults from each unit can be requested using AdminBrowser. Start with the Fusion or Fusion Wideband Main Hub and work downstream.Resolve all faults first and then check the warnings. Take appropriate action to resolve the faults, as indicated in the following tables. In cases where there is more than one possible cause, they are listed from the “most likely” to the “least likely” cause. Actions are listed in the order that they should be performed; not all actions may need to be done.
