Prism System Overview Page 4 FlexWave Prism Element Management System 7.1 User Manual© 2011 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-177 • Issue 1 • July 2011PRISM SYSTEM OVERVIEWADC’s FlexWave® Prism is a compact radio head utilized for precision and macro gap coverage, which supports up to four frequency bands, while delivering high-performance coverage with end-to-end management. FlexWave Prism is ideal for enhancing outdoor and indoor coverage in urban, suburban, canyons, tunnels, campuses, stadiums and other public venues.A Prism system offers the following features:•ADC’s patented RF-over-fiber transport eliminates installation-dependent gain or fiber length adjustments •Improved manageability for installation and upgrades •Smaller size to ease placement and zoning approvals •4G readiness with Four Band remote, which is ideal for incorporating 2G and 3G services with needs of 4G technologies such as LTE •The unique capability to support digital RF as well as baseband compatibility into a single fiber pair and remote radiating point •Support for millimeter wave backhaul •With its unique use of wideband digital RF transport, FlexWave Prism delivers reliable and consistent performance in all environments. Signals are not affected by reflection, dispersion, or frequency attenuation over fiber. FlexWave Prism delivers a reliable signal at every remote location. The ADC FlexWave Prism family of products is a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) that provides ADC’s patented technology—bidirectional transport of digitized RF spectrum over fiber. The high-speed digitalization of a wideband portion of spectrum allows for transport of RF signals over extended distances, without the RF degradation that normally results when analog systems are impacted by optical effects. The basic function of the FlexWave Prism platform is to transport via fiber optic cable RF signals from a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to an antenna interface allowing communication to a mobile device. Multiple BTS communication paths are allowed over a single Prism system. A very basic Prism system consists of a Host Unit (Host) and a Prism Remote Unit (PRU).•The Host is a three rack unit high chassis with multiple cards that mounts in a standard equipment rack.•The PRU consists of multiple electronic and optical modules mounted in an outdoor enclosure. On an optional basis, the Prism system supports reverse path diversity. In addition, various accessory items such as a passive Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) system and a Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM) system are available as accessories.Control and monitoring functions are provided by the FlexWave Element Management System (EMS).

Fiber Optic Transport Page 10 FlexWave Prism Element Management System 7.1 User Manual© 2011 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-177 • Issue 1 • July 2011FIBER OPTIC TRANSPORTIn a FlexWave Prism system, each BTS provides the RF channel inputs and outputs for a designated sector. Each Host may be interfaced with one or more Base Transceiver Station (BTS). On the forward path, the Host receives Analog RF signals from the BTS, digitizes the designated RF bands, and then transports them over single-mode fiber to up to 8 Remote Units. The Remote Unit(s) receives the digitized spectrum from the Host and converts the spectrum back into an analog RF signal to be distributed via an externally mounted antenna system.On the reverse path, the Remote Unit digitizes the designated RF spectrum and digitally transports it over single mode fiber or Millimeter Wave (MMW) to the Host. The Host receives the digitized RF signals from the Remote Unit and converts them back to Analog RF for the BTS.In a typical Prism system the Host is connected to the Remote using two single-mode optical fibers. One fiber is used to transport the forward path optical signal and a second fiber is used to transport the reverse path optical signal. Because the optical signal is digital, the input and output RF signal levels at the Host or the Remote are not dependent on the level of the optical signal or the length of the optical fiber. A diagram of the standard fiber optic transport system for both a non-diversity and diversity system is shown in Figure 6. Figure 6. Standard Fiber Optic Transport ApplicationThe maximum length of the optical links is dependent on the loss specifications of the optical fiber and the losses imposed by the various connectors and splices. The system provides an optical budget of 25 dB (typical) when used with 9/125 single-mode fiber. There must be at least 10 dB of optical loss to prevent over-driving and possible damage to the optical receiver. NOTE: The RF modulation used determines the maximum fiber length between the Host and Remote units, which is dependent on how much delay that modulation type will handle.77073-008RemoteUnitForward PathReverse PathNon-Diversity Fiber Optic LinkForward PathDiversity Fiber Optic LinkReverse PathAndDiversity Reverse PathHostUnitRemoteUnitUp ToEight

The Host is DC powered and supports up to eight BTS interfaces through DART (Digital/Analog Radio Transceiver) cards. (For further information on DART Modules, see “DART Modules” on page 24.)The Host is designed for use within a non-condensing indoor environment, such as inside a base-station shelter, Central Office, wiring closet, or a controlled-environment cabinet. It is installed into a 19- or 23-inch, rack-mounted chassis, that is 9-inches deep and can hold up to three units. All controls, connectors, and indicators, except for the grounding point, are accessible on front of the Host. Figure 7 shows the main elements of the Host.Figure 7. Host Front PanelNOTE: The Host comprises a Fan Assembly, a SeRF II Board Module, a Host System II Module, and a DC Power Module. These modules are pre assembled in the Host chassis at the factory. This document describes them as separate modules for reference only. Fan ModuleThe Fan Module, mounted on the left side of the Host, continuously blows cool air into the Host enclosure, and vents hot air out of the chassis on the right. An alarm is generated if a high-temperature condition occurs. The Fan Module is field replaceable (see the Prism Host Unit Installation Guide, ADCP-77-089).FanAssemblySeRF IIModuleSystem IIBoard ModuleDC PowerModuleSlots 1 - 8 for DART cards(Slots 1 - 4 are occupied)

The PRU is an IP-65 rated enclosure that houses the electronic assemblies such as the RF Module Group, SeRF assembly and AC/DC power supplies, and seals out dirt and moisture. The PRU uses fans located on the top of each unit to cool the chassis. The antenna cable connectors, fiber connectors, AC power connector, and the unit status indicator are located on the bottom of the unit.Figure 8. Prism Remote Units (PRUs)The FlexWave Remote receives on the forward path the digitized spectrum from the Host and converts the spectrum back into an RF signal to be distributed via an externally mounted antenna system. On the reverse path, the Remote digitizes the designated RF spectrum and digitally transports it over single-mode fiber or Millimeter Wave (MMW) to the Host. The PRU also provides RF interface (antenna port) for the antennas, and accepts AC power input.Single-BandRemoteDual-BandRemoteTri-BandRemoteQuad-BandRemote77152-007

The protocol provides you with full access to the 100BASE-T (Ethernet) connection between the Host and each Remote, and the ability to provision the RF spectrum of the DARTs. The digitized RF portion of the SeRF protocol is divided into 12 timeslots, with each timeslot representing roughly 5 MHz of digitized RF spectrum. Utilizing the full 12 timeslots yields between 60 and 75 MHz of total digitized RF on each SeRF Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) laser connection (single fiber pair).The available RF bandwidth per timeslot is shown in Table 5.For example, a user who wishes to transport PCS A block, Cellular A, and AWS B block, the system would require the following:PCS A 15MHz, 3 timeslotsCellular A 10MHz, 2 timeslotsAWS B 10MHz, 2 timeslots__________________________Total = 35MHz, 7 timeslotsEach fiber pair supports 12 timeslots, or up to 75 MHz of bandwidth. Table 5 shows the maximum bandwidth versus the number of timeslots.If more than 70 MHz is required per Remote, up to three additional fiber pairs can be brought to the Remote to get up to up to 280MHz per Remote (or 300MHz if all four are GSM-1800).Table 5.

DART Modules Page 30 FlexWave Prism Element Management System 7.1 User Manual© 2011 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-177 • Issue 1 • July 2011Simulcast GroupsSimulcast combining occurs when more than one Remote DART is linked to the same Host DART. The gains of the reverse signals are reduced before summation to prevent over-flow when the digital signals are added together. This simulcast gain reduction is accomplished as a function of the number of Remote DARTs linked to the Host DART (N) and the selected Reverse Gain Mode:•Mode 1 (Noise Floor Matching)—uses an algorithm that normalizes the noise floor of all Remote Units.•Mode 2 (Legacy Prism/URH)—reduces the gain by 20*log10(N).•Mode 1 (Noise Floor Matching) uses an algorithm that normalizes the noise floor of all Remote Units. •Mode 2 (Legacy Prism/URH)—reduces the gain by 20*log10(N). Table 6 illustrates gain reduction for Mode 1 and Mode 2.Simulcast groups are restricted to using the same timeslots on the fibers to each Remote. For example, if the first link established in a simulcast group is using timeslots 1-3 on a fiber for the PCS A passband, timeslots 1-3 must be used for that passband on each of the other Remotes in the simulcast group. If timeslots 1-3 are not available on a Remote's fiber, the Remote cannot be added to the simulcast group.To minimize timeslot conflicts, simulcast groups should be configured before other passbands. If a conflict occurs while attempting to link a DART, an error message displays indicating that the DART linking failed. The DART using the conflicting timeslots must be unlinked to allow the DART in the simulcast group to be linked.Table 6.

Prism System OverviewFlexWave Prism Element Management System 7.1 User Manual Page 31ADCP-77-177 • Issue 1 • July 2011 © 2011 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Use of Multi FibersThe EMS provides the ability to install “multi fibers” between a Host and Remote. This means that, in addition to the minimum single fiber pair (RX and TX) in the Host to Remote connection, one or more additional fiber pairs are installed. This is done to increase the bandwidth or number of timeslots between the Host and Remote. Each fiber pair can handle approximately 75 MHz of RF bandwidth and each fiber is capable of supporting 12 timeslots, as described in “DART Modules” on page 24.When a Host DART is linked to a Remote DART in a multi-fibers configuration, the EMS uses the first fiber (in numerical order) on which the required number of timeslots is available for the passband being linked. The EMS will not divide up the timeslots between two fibers. So, for example, if the passband requires eight timeslots, and only six timeslots are available on the first fiber, the EMS will bypass the first fiber and assign all eight timeslots to the second fiber, leaving four timeslots unused on the second fiber.

Remote simulcasting in this configuration requires analog splitting and combining to and from the individual Host DARTs. External analog splitting/combining ensures that the E911 system receives uplink signals from each Remote location before they are combined with uplink signals from the other Remotes in the simulcast.Figure 14. 8:1 Analog Simulcast U-TDoA E911 Support DiagramNOTE: When external E911 equipment is required, simulcasting must be accomplished via external RF splitting and combining.
