The maximum configuration of a system is one Main Hub, four Expansion Hubs, and 32 RAUs (1-4-32). Multiple systems can be combined to provide larger configurations.NOTE: The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub (PN: FSN-W1-MH-2-1P, FSN-W1-MH-3-1P,FSN-W2-MH-3-1P, FSN-W3-MH-1P, FSN-W4-MH-1P, and FSN-W5-MH-1P) configuration is a cost-reduced version of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub and supports only one Expansion Hub (up to 8 RAUs).CAUTION! The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub is “software locked” to 1 port 2 fiber ports. Additional ports are disabled internally. Do not attempt to remove the front panel fiber port plate, as doing so voids the product warranty.

Using AdminBrowser, you can perform the following from any standard web browser (such as Internet Explorer) running on your PC/laptop system:•configure a newly installed system•change system parameters•perform an end-to-end system test•query system status.Refer to the AdminBrowser User Manual (D-620607-0-20) for information about installing and using the AdminBrowser software.System Monitoring and ReportingEach Fusion Wideband Main Hub in the system constantly monitors itself, its Expansion Hubs, and their downstream RAUs for internal fault and warning conditions. 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 warning alarm. Faults are also indicated locally by red STATUS LEDs. Both faults and warnings are reported to the 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 monitored automatically (perform a System Test to retrieve status information about antennas).Using AdminBrowser, you can install a new system or new components, change system parameters, and query system status. Figure 4 illustrates how the system reports its status to AdminBrowser.Figure 4.

Fusion Wideband Main Hub  Page 30 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual© 2015 TE Connectivity D-620616-0-20 Rev K  •  TECP-77-044 Issue 9  •  March 2015FUSION WIDEBAND MAIN HUB OVERVIEWThe Fusion Wideband Main Hub (shown in Figure 8) distributes up to three individual (Band 1, 2, and 3) downlink RF signals from a Base Station, repeater, or FlexWave Focus system to up to four Expansion Hubs, which in turn distribute the signals to up to 32 Remote Access Units. The Main Hub also combines uplink signals from the associated Expansion Hubs.Fusion Wideband is a multi-band system. One RF source (Band 1 or RF1) goes to the 60 MHz band and the other RF source (Band 2 or RF2) goes to the 75 MHz band. Band 3 (or RF3) goes to a 25 MHz sub-band of the 60 MHz band and is functional only with the following RAUs: 800/850/1900, 700/AWS, 700/700 (Upper C) MIMO, 700/700 (Lower ABC) MIMO, 700 ABC/AWS HP/AWS HP, 700 UC/AWS HP/AWS HP, and 850/1900 HP/AWS HP RAU. The system installs in a 19”equipment rack and is usually co-located with the RF source in a telecommunications closet.Figure 8. Main Hub in a Fusion Wideband SystemFigure 9 on page 31 shows a detailed view of the major RF and optical functional blocks of the Main Hub.NOTE: The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub (PNs: FSN-W1-MH-2-1P, FSN-W2-MH-3-1P, FSN-W3-MH-1P, FSN-W4-MH-1P, and FSN-W5-MH-1P) is a cost reduced version of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub and supports only one Expansion Hub (up to 8 RAUs).Downlink Path: The Main Hub receives up to 3 individual (Band1, 2, or 3) downlink RF signals from a base station, repeater, or FlexWave Focus system using 50 Ohm coaxial cable. It converts the signals to IF then to optical and sends them to up to four Expansion Hubs using fiber optic cable.The Main Hub also sends OA&M communication to the Expansion Hubs using the fiber optic cable. The Expansion Hubs, in turn, communicate the OA&M information to the RAUs using CATV cable.Uplink Path: The Main Hub receives uplink optical signals from up to four Expansion Hubs using fiber optic cables. It converts the signals to IF then to RF and sends them to the respective Band1, 2, or 3 base station, repeater, or FlexWave Focus system using 50 Ohm coaxial cable.The Main Hub also receives status information from the Expansion Hubs and all RAUs using the fiber optic cable.RF1, 2, and 3Downlink to Main HubUplink from Main HubRF1, 2, and 3Downlink to Main HubUplink from Main HubFusion WidebandMain HubFusion WidebandMain Hub RAU

There are four fiber ports on the front panel of the Main Hub—one port per Expansion Hub. Each optical-fiber port has two female SC/APC connectors:•UPLINK Connector—receives the uplink optical signals from an Expansion Hub.•DOWNLINK Connector—transmits the downlink optical signals to an Expansion Hub.CAUTION!  To avoid damaging the Main Hub’s fiber connector ports, use only SC/APC fiber cable connectors when using either single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Additionally, it is critical to system performance that only SC/APC fiber connectors are used throughout the fiber network, including fiber distribution panels.Main Hub LED IndicatorsThe unit’s front panel LEDs indicate faults and commanded or fault lockouts. The LEDs do not indicate warnings or whether the system test has been performed. Use the LEDs to provide basic information only, or as a backup when you are not using AdminBrowser.Upon power up, the Main Hub goes through a 20-second test to check the LED lamps. During this time, the LEDs blink through the states shown in Table 31 on page 34, letting you visually verify that the LED lamps and the firmware are functioning properly. Upon completion of initialization, the LEDs stay in one of the first two states shown in Table 31 on page 34. The Main Hub automatically sends the program bands command to all connected RAUs. A mismatched band causes a fault message to be displayed in AdminBrowser and places the RAU in a disabled condition.NOTE: Refer to “Troubleshooting Using LEDs” on page 185 for troubleshooting using the LEDs.NOTE: AdminBrowser should be used for troubleshooting the system. Only use LEDs for backup or confirmation. However, if there are communication problems within the system, the LEDs may provide additional information that is not available using AdminBrowser.

It also supplies control signals and DC power to operate the RAUs, and passes status information from the RAUs to the Main Hub.Figure 10. Expansion Hub in a Fusion Wideband SystemFigure 11 on page 43 shows a block diagram for the Expansion Hub within a Fusion system.Downlink Path: The Expansion Hub receives downlink (Band 1, 2, and 3) optical signals from the Main Hub using fiber optic cable. It converts the signals to electrical and sends them to up to eight Remote Access Units (RAUs) using CATV cables. The Expansion Hub also receives configuration information from the Main Hub using the fiber optic cable and relays it to the RAUs using CATV cable.Uplink Path: The Expansion Hub receives uplink (Band 1, 2, and 3) IF signals from up to eight RAUs using CATV cables. It converts the signals to optical and sends them to a Main Hub using fiber optic cable.The Expansion Hub also receives RAU status information using CATV cable and sends it and its own status information to the Main Hub using the fiber optic cable.RF1, 2, and 3Downlink to Main HubUplink from Main HubRF1, 2, and 3Downlink to Main HubUplink from Main HubFusion WidebandMain HubFusion WidebandMain HubRAU

Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution  Page 62 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual© 2015 TE Connectivity D-620616-0-20 Rev K  •  TECP-77-044 Issue 9  •  March 2015DESIGN OVERVIEWDesigning a Fusion Wideband solution is a matter of determining coverage and capacity needs. This requires the following steps:1Determine the wireless service provider’s requirements; refer to “Downlink RSSI Design Goal” on page 64.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)The 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 equipment if possible.2Determine the downlink Power Per Carrier from the RF source through the DAS; refer to “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.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 carriers increases. 3Develop an RF link budget; refer to “Estimating RF Coverage” on page 83.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 a RAU’s antenna to the wireless handset.allowable path loss = Power Per Carrier + antenna gain – design goal Satisfactory performance can be expected as long as path loss is below this level.

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 cubicles).5Determine 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 “Estimating RF Coverage” on page 83.Use the Path Loss Slope (PLS), which gives a value to the RF propagation characteristics 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 Wideband equipment you need. The actual path loss slope that corresponds to the specific RF environment inside the building can also be determined empirically by performing an RF site-survey of the building. This involves transmitting a calibrated tone for a fixed antenna and making measurements with a mobile antenna throughout the area surrounding the transmitter.6Determine the items required to connect to the Base Station; refer to “Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station” on page 101.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 Station.The individual elements that must be considered in designing a Fusion Wideband solution are explained in the following sections.NOTE: Access the TE Customer Portal for on-line dimensioning and design tools; see “Accessing the TE Customer Portal” on page 230.

These two figures 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 process 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 multipath 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 Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) design goal calculations for the GSM protocol are shown below for a 95% area coverage confidence factor.Downlink 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.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 dB6 dBLog-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 CarrierInterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual Page 65D-620616-0-20 Rev K  •  TECP-77-044 Issue 9  •  March 2015 © 2015 TE ConnectivityMAXIMUM 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 attenuated 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.CAUTION! Exceeding the maximum input power may cause permanent 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).

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 capacity growth needs:1Design the initial coverage with a maximum Power Per Carrier for four RF carriers. This will likely result in additional RAUs.2Design 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.

In addition, uplink and downlink gains of each RAU can be independently 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 69.Table 69.

Since in-building systems, such as the Fusion Wideband, are generally downlink-limited, this approach is applicable in the majority of deployments.Figure 15. Determining APL between the Antenna and the Wireless DeviceEquation 1Equation 1 is as follows:APL = (P – Lcoax + G) – RSSIwhere:•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 70 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 70.

Table 58 on page 75 indicates that Fusion Wideband can support eight carriers with a recommended maximum Power Per Carrier of 9.0 dBm. The input power should be set to the desired output power minus the system gain.3Building 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.4Link 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 propagation loss should be no more than 97.0 dB (9.0 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 signal 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 “Link Budget Analysis” on page 90.Table 80.

Estimating RF CoverageInterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual Page 89D-620616-0-20 Rev K  •  TECP-77-044 Issue 9  •  March 2015 © 2015 TE Connectivity5Path Loss Slope: For a rough estimate, Table 73 on page 85 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 97.0 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 “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84 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.6Equipment 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.•4 antennas per floor × 16 floors = 64 RAUs•64 RAUs ÷ 8 = 8 Expansion Hubs, as there is a maximum of 8 RAUs per Expansion Hub•8 Expansion Hubs ÷ 4 = 2 Main Hubs, as there is a maximum of 4 Expansion Hubs per Main HubCheck that the fiber and CATV cable distances are as recommended. If the distances differ, use the tables in “System Gain” on page 82 to determine 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, additional 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.

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 “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65. CAUTION! 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 could cause permanent damage to the Main Hub.NOTE: To obtain the on-line Link Budget Tool, go the TE Customer Portal; see “Accessing the TE Customer Portal” on page 230.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 analyzes 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 “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84.Table 81 on page 91 provides link budget considerations for narrowband systems.

Link Budget Considerations for Narrowband Systems Consideration DescriptionBTS Transmit Power The Power Per Carrier transmitted from the Base Station output.Attenuation between BTS and Fusion  WidebandThis includes all losses: cable, attenuator, splitter/combiner, and so forth. 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 “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65. 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 “Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station” on page 101 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 radiator) 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 effective noise floor plus a certain C/I ratio).Fusion Wideband Noise FigureThis 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 represents 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  MarginThis margin allows for a certain level of fading due to multipath interference. On the inside of buildings there is often one or more fairly strong signals and many weaker signals arriving from reflections and diffraction. 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.Log-Normal Fade  MarginThis 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 LevelThis is also referred to as the “design goal”. The link budget says that you can achieve adequate coverage if the signal level is, on average, above this level over 95% of the area covered, for example.Protocol Signal BandwidthThermal NoiseTDMA 30 kHz –129 dBmGSM 200 kHz –121 dBmiDEN 25 kHz –130 dBm

Unlike narrowband standards such as TDMA and GSM, CDMA signals are spread over a relatively wide frequency band. Upon reception, the CDMA signal despread. In the despreading 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 despread signal is higher than that of the CDMA signal before despreading. 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, of which Table 84 shows an example.Table 84 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 channels 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, for example, that you should not exceed 10 dBm for a CDMA signal, 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-handoff 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. The open-loop power control equations are as follows:where PTX is the mobile’s transmitted power and PRX is the power received by the mobile.Table 84. 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•for Cellular, IS-95: PTX + PRX = –73 dBm•for PCS, J-STD-008: PTX + PRX = –76 dBm

The difference between these power levels, ΔP, can be estimated by comparing the power radiated from the RAU, Pdownink, to the minimum received signal, Puplink, at the RAU:It’s a good idea to keep –12 dB < ΔP < 12 dB.Table 85 provides link budget considerations for CDMA systems.for Cellular:ΔP = Pdownink + Puplink + 73 dBmfor PCS:ΔP = Pdownink + Puplink + 76 dBmTable 85. Additional Link Budget Considerations for CDMA Consideration DescriptionMultipath Fade MarginThe 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 Carrier, downlinkThis 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 (representing how much signal a mobile will receive on the Walsh code that it is despreading) and the total power are used.The channel power is needed to determine the maximum path loss, and the total power is needed to determine 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 2Process Gain The process of despreading 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 Signal-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 multipath 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) – PG

The combined CDMA signals will interfere 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 important 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.CDMA Link Budget Analysis for a Microcell ApplicationNoise Rise On the uplink, the noise floor is determined not only by the Fusion Wideband system, but also by the number of mobiles that are transmitting. This is because when the Base Station attempts to despread a particular 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 86.

Additional considerations for such an application of Fusion Wideband are: •sizing the gain and output power requirements for a bi-directional amplifier (repeater)•ensuring that noise radiated on the uplink from the in-building system does not cause the outdoor Base Station to become desensitized to wireless handsets in the outdoor network•filtering out signals that lie in adjacent frequency bands. For instance, if you are providing coverage for Cellular B-band operation it may be necessary to filter out the A, A’ and A” bands which may contain strong signals from other outdoor Base Stations.Further information on these issues can be found in TE application notes for re-radiation applications.

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 single-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 be used throughout the fiber network, including fiber distribution panels.
Connecting a Main Hub to a Base StationInterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual Page 101D-620616-0-20 Rev K  •  TECP-77-044 Issue 9  •  March 2015 © 2015 TE ConnectivityCONNECTING A MAIN HUB TO A BASE STATIONThe Fusion Wideband system supports up to three RF sources: one for Band 1, one for Band 2 and one for Band 3. 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•connectors. In addition, use the following considerations to achieve optimal performance:•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 “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.•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 attenuation 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 provide 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.
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution  Page 102 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual© 2015 TE Connectivity D-620616-0-20 Rev K  •  TECP-77-044 Issue 9  •  March 2015Uplink 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 RAU inputs to the Base Station inputs. This SNR cannot 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 so that the noise level out of Fusion Wideband is within 10 dB of the Base Station’s sensitivity.RAU Attenuation and ALCThe RAU attenuation and ALC are set using the AdminBrowser Edit Unit Properties 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 following sequence describes the operation of the ALC circuit, as illustrated in Figure 16 on page 103.1The RF signal level into either Band of the RAU rises above the activation threshold (–30 dBm), causing that ALC loop to enter into the attack phase.2During 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.3After 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.4The RF signal level drops below the release threshold (–45 dBm) and the ALC loop enters the release phase.5During 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.

ALC OperationUsing the RAU 10 dB Attenuation SettingEach RAU band can, independently of the other RAUs in a system, have its uplink or downlink gain attenuated by 0 or 10 dB for each RAU band (1, 2 or 3). This is accomplished 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 a RAU band. For instance, this could be for a 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 sensitivity is reduced and mobile phones in the area of that RAU band will have to transmit 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 a RAU band located in an area where heavy electrical machinery is operating. 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 a RAU band located in areas of high electrical noise helps preserve the sensitivity of the rest of the system.AttackPhaseReleasePhaseHoldPhaseOutput SignalLevelActivationLevel-30 dBmInput SignalLevelReleaseLevel-45 dBmTime11523
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution  Page 104 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual© 2015 TE Connectivity D-620616-0-20 Rev K  •  TECP-77-044 Issue 9  •  March 2015The 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 factor 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).Using the Uplink ALC SettingUplink Automatic Level Control (UL ALC) circuitry for each band within the RAU provides ALC on high-power signals in the uplink path. This functionality 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 frequency bands. This setting is seldom used.

Do not compromise the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment.2If you are removing the system, turn it off and remove the power cord first. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the components.3The internal power supplies have internal fuses that are not user replaceable. Consider the worst-case power consumption shown on the product labels when provisioning the equipment’s AC power source and distribution.4Verify that the Hub is grounded properly using the AC power cord third wire ground.CAUTION! Be careful with the mechanical loading of the rack mounted hub. Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous condition, due to uneven mechanical loading, does not result.General Safety PrecautionsThe following precautions apply to TE products:•The units have no user-serviceable parts. Faulty or failed units are fully replaceable through TE, see “Appendix D: Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 229.•When you connect the fiber optic cable, clean all optical fiber SC/APC connectors according to the cable manufacturer’s instructions.•When you connect a radiating antenna to a RAU, firmly hand-tighten the N connector. DO NOT over-tighten the connector.CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. The components are intended for indoor use only. Do not install the RAU outdoors. Do not connect a RAU to an antenna that is located outdoors where it could be subject to lightning strikes, power crosses, or wind.•The Expansion Hub and RAU units are designed for intra-building cabling only. Outdoor routing of any cabling to these units shall not exceed 140 feet.CAUTION! Outdoor cables farther than 140 feet must be installed with proper lightning protection.

For information about system compliance with safety standards, refer to “Appendix B: Compliance” on page 203. CAUTION! Observe the following warning about viewing fiber ends in ports. Do not stare directly into a fiber port. Do not stare with unprotected eyes at the connector ends of the fibers or the ports of the hubs. Invisible infrared radiation is present at the front panel of the Main Hub and the Expansion Hub. Do not remove the fiber port dust caps unless the port is going to be used. •Test fiber cables: When you test fiber optic cables, connect the optical power source last and disconnect it first. Use Class 1 test equipment.•Fiber ends: Cover any unconnected fiber ends with an approved cap. Do not use tape.•Broken fiber cables: Do not stare with unprotected eyes at any broken ends of the fibers. Laser light emitted from fiber sources can cause eye injury. Avoid contact with broken fibers; they are sharp and can pierce the skin. Report any broken fiber cables and have them replaced.•Cleaning: Be sure the connectors are clean and free of dust or oils. Use only approved methods for cleaning optical fiber connectors.•Modifications: Do not make any unauthorized modifications to this fiber optic system or associated equipment.•Live work: Live work is permitted because TE equipment is a Class 1 hazard.•Signs: No warning signs are required.•Class 1 laser product: The system meets the criteria for a Class 1 laser product per IEC 60825-1: 1993+A1:+A2:2001 and IEC106825-2.Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated July 26, 2001.The hazard level at all locations within the equipment is Hazard Level 1.CAUTION!

Observe all Fiber Port Safety Precautions listed in “Safety Precautions” on page 109.Prepare the Fiber CablesDo the following before connecting the fiber cables:1Confirm that their optical loss does not exceed the 3 dB optical budget.2If using fiber distribution panels, confirm that the total optical loss of fiber cable, from the Main Hub through distribution panels and patch cords to the Expansion Hub, does not exceed the optical budget.3Make sure the fiber cable’s connectors are SC/APC (angle-polished). Using any other connector type will result in degraded system performance and may damage the equipment. (You can use an SC/APC pigtail if the fiber cable’s connectors are not SC/APC. Refer to “Splicing Fiber Optic Cable” on page 146. Or, you can change the fiber’s connector to SC/APC.)Clean the Fiber PortsYou can clean the Hub’s fiber ports using canned compressed air or isopropyl alcohol and foam tipped swabs.•If using compressed air, the air must be free of dust, water, and oil, and hold the can level during use.•If using isopropyl alcohol and foam tipped swabs, use only 98% pure or more alcohol.Using Compressed Air1Remove the port’s dust cap.2Spray the compressed air away from the unit for a few seconds to clean out the nozzle and then blow dust particles out of each fiber port.Using Isopropyl Alcohol1Remove the connector’s dust cap.2Dip a 2.5mm lint-free, foam-tipped swab in isopropyl alcohol and slowly insert the tip into the connector.3Gently twist the swab to clean the port.4Insert a dry swab into the port to dry it.5Additionally, you can use compressed air after the alcohol has completely evaporated.

You need lint-free cloths, isopropyl alcohol, and compressed air.1Moisten a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol.2Gently wipe the fiber end with the moistened cloth.3Using a dry lint-free cloth, gently wipe the fiber end.4Spray the compressed air away from the connector for a few seconds to clean out the nozzle and then use it to completely dry the connector.Testing the Fiber CablesPerform cable testing and record the results. Test results are required for the final As-Built Document.Connecting the Fiber CablesThe fiber cable is labeled with either 1 or 2, or is color-coded. In addition to these labels, you should add a code that identifies which port on the Main Hub is being used and which Expansion Hub the cables are intended for. This differentiates the connectors for proper connection between the Main Hub and Expansion Hubs.For example:First pair to Main Hub port 1: 11 (uplink), 12 (downlink);  Second pair to Main Hub port 2: 21 (uplink), 22 (downlink);  Third pair to Main Hub port 3: 31 (uplink), 32 (downlink); and so on.NOTE: The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub (PN: FSN-1-MH-1P and FSN-2-MH-2-1P) configuration is a cost reduced version of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub and supports only one Expansion Hub (up to 8 RAUs).If the fiber jumper is labeled with 1 or 21Connect 1s to UPLINK ports on the Main Hub.2Connect 2s to DOWNLINK ports on the Main Hub.3Record which cable number and port number you connected to UPLINK and DOWNLINK. (This information is needed when connecting the other end of the fiber cable to the Expansion Hub’s fiber ports.)The fiber port LEDs should be off, indicating that the Expansion Hub(s) are not connected.

Install RAUs in indoor locations only. Do not connect an antenna that is installed in an outdoor location to a RAU. For outdoor installations, a protective enclosure is required.NOTE: The following procedures assume that the system is new from the factory and that it has not been programmed with bands. If you are replacing components in a pre-installed system with either new units or units that may already be programmed (for example, re-using units from another system), refer to “Replacing Fusion Wideband Components” on page 175.RAU Installation Notes•Mount all RAUs in the locations marked on the floor plans.•Install 800 iDEN and 850/1900 MHz RAUs so that their antennas will be separated by enough space to reduce signal interference between the 800 and 850 bands. Refer to “800/850 MHz Isolation Requirements” on page 134 for recommended distance between antennas.•You can place a RAU 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. •To mount a RAU to a location such as a wall, ceiling, or pole, the RAU must be securely mounted using the four slotted mounting holes on the #6 diameter fasteners. The mounting location must be able to securely hold a minimum 7-pound load. •For proper ventilation:–Keep at least 3-inch clearance (76 mm) 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.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 interfering transmitters and receivers.iDEN occupies spectrum at:•800 MHz –Tx is 851–869–Rx is 806–824 •900 MHz–T is 935–941–Rx:896–902).The Cellular A and B carriers share a single 850 MHz block:•Tx is 869–894•Rx is 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 19 depicts these nearly contiguous bands, with arrows indicating the interfering downlink and receiving uplink bands.Figure 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 downlink-to-uplink interference issues and provide adequate isolation (Figure 20 on page 135). 824 849 851 869 894 896 - 902800/iDEN Uplink 850 Cellular Uplink 800/iDEN Downlink 850 Cellular Downlink 900/iDEN Uplink

Fusion Wideband 800/850/1900 MHz RAU Antenna Placement GuidelineTE offers the following guidelines toward achieving the proper amount of isolation when deploying TE Fusion Wideband DAS products.800 MHz iDEN Downlink and 850 MHz Cellular UplinkA 2 MHz frequency gap (851 – 849 MHz) separates the 800 iDEN downlink and 850 Cellular uplink frequency bands. Because of this narrow spacing, 800 iDEN downlink intermodulation products may fall within the 850 Cellular uplink band. In addition, 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 Fusion WidebandGiven a typical DAS configuration (four iDEN carriers, omni-directional antennas, line of sight), these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d1) 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. Because of this narrow spacing, 850 Cellular downlink intermodulation products may fall within the 900 iDEN uplink band. In addition, 850 Cellular downlink signals near the upper edge of the band at 894 MHz may cause the 900 iDEN uplink ALC to engage and thereby reduce uplink gain.To prevent either of these conditions, use the following guidelines:•In-band 850 Cellular intermodulation products < -90dBm•Upper frequency 850 Cellular signals < –30dBm for Fusion WidebandGiven a typical DAS configuration (six CDMA carriers for Fusion Wideband, omni-directional antennas, line of sight), these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d2) of 8-14 meters.Spacing between RAUs FSN-8519-1 and FSN-809019-2 should be in a range of from 8 to 14 meters.Band 1800 MHzBand 2/3850/1900 MHz>d

If it does not, you can splice a pigtail, which has SC/APC connectors, to the fiber cable.TE offers two pigtails: •one for single-mode fiber (PN 4013SCAPC-3)•one for multi-mode fiber (PN 4012SCAPC-3).TE recommends Fusion Wideband splices because they have the lowest splice loss and return loss. Mechanical splices have higher losses and higher back reflection than Fusion Wideband splices and are not recommended.Using a Fusion Wideband splicer involves fusing together two butted and cleaved ends of fiber. The Fusion Wideband splicer aligns the fibers and maintains alignment during the Fusion Wideband process. Fusion Wideband splices have very low loss (typically less than 0.05 dB) and very low back reflection (return loss). Organize Fusion Wideband splices in a splice tray designed to store and protect the splices.NOTE: The following procedures assume that the system is new from the factory and that it has not been programmed with bands. If you are replacing components in a pre-installed system with either new units or units that may already be programmed (for example, re-using units from another system), refer to “Replacing Fusion Wideband Components” on page 175.Complete one of the following procedures as appropriate to the system design:•“Option A: Fusion Wideband Splice the Fiber-Optic Cable to the SC/APC Pigtail” on page 146•“Option B: Fusion Wideband Splice the Fiber-Optic Cable to the SC/APC Pigtail” on page 147.Option A: Fusion Wideband Splice the Fiber-Optic Cable to the SC/APC Pigtail1Make sure the Fusion Wideband splicer is set to the proper mode (that is, single- or multi-mode).2Secure both the fiber cable and the SC/APC pigtail in a splice tray that is installed immediately adjacent to the Hub.3Prepare the fiber end by cutting back the polyethylene jacket, the kevlar or fiberglass strength members, the extruded coating, and the buffer coating in order to expose the “bare fiber” (cladding plus core).4Ensure that sufficient slack is maintained that can reach the Fusion Wideband splicer.5Clean the unclad fiber core using isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.6Cleave the unclad fiber to the length prescribed by the Fusion Wideband splicer’s specification sheets.7Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 for the SC/APC pigtail.8Pass the splice sleeve onto the fiber strand.9Position both fiber ends in the Fusion Wideband splicer and complete the splice in accordance with the Fusion Wideband splicer’s operation instructions.

These contacts are normally-closed (NC) and will open when an internal alarm is detected. For further information, see “Alarm Source” on page 157.NOTE: The contact can be changed to normally-open (NO) with AdminBrowser, however, 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—The Fusion Wideband Main Hub can monitor three 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. For further information, see “A la r m   S en s e ”   o n   p age   1 6 0 .Table 95 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.NOTE: FlexWave Focus supports only faults (major errors).Table 95.

An interface cable is required between the daisy-chain cable and the BTS. Because BTS alarm interface pinouts and Fusion Wideband-to-BTS distances vary, this cable is often custom and wired on-site. Refer to “Uplink/Downlink Optical-Fiber Ports” on page 33 for Alarm Contact details (Normally Closed).Figure 28.

This gives the present status of the system, which is dependent on the 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 component commands.NOTE: This RAU icon   indicates there is fault on the RAU. This icon   indicates a disconnected device. You cannot request status on a disconnected device.Troubleshooting RecommendationsSome actions that you can take, depending on the device fault or warning include, are as follows:•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 “Cleaning the Fiber Ports” on page 182.–Power cycle the Expansion Hub.•In AdminBrowser, under Alarms, click CLEAR ALL DISCONNECTS at the Fusion Main Hub.•Power cycle the Fusion Main Hub.•For RAU hardware faults, try moving a working CATV to the suspect port and verifying that the RAU comes up OK.•Try isolating the system components:–Check to see if the whole system is effected or a portion of the system.–If the whole system is effected, disconnect the DAS system from the RF source and see if the RF source is working.–Continue to isolate by disabling portions of the system. In AdminBrowser, under System Configuration, click Show System Tree, select a component, and then click Set Out of Service/Set in Service.

Start with the Fusion 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: Faults, Warnings, Status Tables for Fusion, Fusion Wideband, Fusion SingleStar” on page 209 for tables containing Fault, Warning, and Status messages and their meanings.Troubleshooting Using LEDsThe following troubleshooting information is from the perspective that all Fusion equipment is installed, their cables are connected, and they are powered on. It is also assumed that the system was operating normally before the problem to be diagnosed occurred. NOTE: Always use AdminBrowser, if possible, to troubleshoot the system. The Fusion Main Hub and Expansion Hub LEDs are for backup troubleshooting. The RAU LEDs probably will not provide additional information for troubleshooting.Troubleshooting Main Hub LEDs During Normal OperationAll of the Main Hub’s LEDs should be green during normal operation. If any LEDs are red, get status using AdminBrowser to determine the exact cause and recommendations.

Appendix B: Compliance  Page 208 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual© 2015 TE Connectivity D-620616-0-20 Rev K  •  TECP-77-044 Issue 9  •  March 2015HUMAN 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. TE products fall in the category of fixed equipment; products intended to be permanently secured and exposures are evaluated for distances 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 exposure 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, referenced in FCC OET Bulletin 65 “Evaluation Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency for Electric Fields”.TE 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/cm2PG, the transmitted power from the antenna identified as EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically 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 distance 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 “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65, 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

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.NOTE: If you have a red STATUS LED without a fault message, it probably indicates that the unit is locked out.Table 103.
