OVERVIEW OF RF MODULES FOR PRISM REMOTE UNITS
Figure 1 illustrates the Prism Remote Unit (PRU), which controls RF emissions, interfaces with the FlexWave
Prism Host Unit.
Single-Bay
Dual-Bay
Tri-Bay
Quad-Bay
Prism Remote Unit Prism Remote Unit Prism Remote Unit Prism Remote Unit
Figure 1. Prism Remote Units (PRUs)
The PRU has from one to four RF Module bays, depending on the PRU model. That is, the Single‐Bay PRU has one
RF Module bay, and the Quad‐Bay PRU has four RF Module bays. A PRU can support up to four RF Modules.
The function of the PRU RF Modules on the Forward Path is to:
•
convert the digitized RF transported from the Host to Analog RF
•
amplify the Analog RF signal
•
provide signal filtering.
The function of the PRU RF Modules on the Reverse Path is to:
•
convert the Analog RF from the handset to Digital RF for transport to the Host
•
provide signal filtering.
NOTE:
The RF Modules are field replaceable, but cannot be serviced in the field.

Duplexer and Low Noise Amplifier
The RF Module provides the PRU with an internal Duplexer that is optimized to provide the desired RF band‐pass
filtering and in‐band equipment isolation between FWD and REV paths. The Duplexer provides the filtering
necessary to the transmit and receive paths to and from the connected antenna.
The Duplexer for the Single‐ and Dual‐Bay RF Modules and the Legacy Dual‐Bay 40W RF Modules contains up to
two REV path Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA for PRI and/or SEC reverse paths).
The Duplexer for an HDM RF Module does not have a Low Noise Amplifier.
Duplexers are not field serviceable.
Digital Processing Module
The Digital Processing Module (DPM) is found only in the HDM RF Modules. The DPM provides the primary
processing and logic functions for the HDM RF Module. It also provides the primary power interface for the HDM
RF Module, and conversion of the native 28 Vdc voltage to lower voltages as necessary for functionality.
The DPM has a Transmit (Tx) Board and a Receive (Rx) Board:
•
Tx Board—provides band specific filtering for the intended Transmit path.
•
Rx Board—provides band specific filtering for the intended Receive path.

UNDERSTANDING THE RF MODULE CABLES
Before you install the RF Module cables, familiarize yourself with the rules that pertain to these cables, as defined
in the following sections.
Always provided at each RF Module shelf are five cables:
•
two High‐Speed Data Cables, which in this document are referred to as LVDS (Low‐Voltage Differential
Signaling) cables
•
two RF Cables (TX0/RX0) and (TX1/RX1)
•
one Power (PWR) Cable.
Power Cable Connection
Maintain adequate strain relief distances from the connection points to the module.
LVDS Cable Connections
•
LVDS cables labeled PRIM and DIV should always either be connected to a RF Module or strain relieved to
adjacent cables, as this protects the cable against damage through misplacement.
•
Align and fully insert the LVDS cable connectors into their respective connector cages. Full insertion is
identified by an audible click.
•
Ensure the two LVDS cables are fully seated and latched into their respective receptacles on the RF Module
by lightly pulling outward on the connectors. If fully seated and locked into position, the cable connectors will
not slide back out.
•
Maintain adequate strain‐relief distances from the connection points to the RF Module.
RF Cable Connections
The RF Module cables that are pre‐installed in the PRU connect to the corresponding connectors on the RF
Module. The RF Module cables correlate to the antenna connectors on the bottom of the PRU chassis.
RF Cable Rules
•
When installing a Diversity, MIMO or Dual‐Band RF Module, both RF cables labeled MOD N TX0/RX0 and
MOD N TX1/RX1 shall be connected to the N‐Style connections of the RF Module”
NOTE:
Older labeling schemes used “PRI” and “DIV”. To match old labeling schemes to current labeling:
•
•
•
TX0/RX0 = PRI
TX1/RX1 = DIV
When installing a Non‐Diversity or SISO RF Module, or an SMR 800/900 Dual‐Band Dual‐Bay RF Module:
– The MOD N TX0/RX0 cable shall be connected to the single available N‐Style RF Connection of the RF
Module.
– The MOD N TX1/RX1 cable shall be constrained to the existing cables using a tie wrap or similarly
accepted fastener so it cannot be pinched or prevent the PRU door from closing. Do not cut or attempt to
otherwise remove this RF Cable.

•
RF cables are hand‐formable; however, cables must adhere to a minimum bend radius of 1‐inch from the
outlet of the integrated cable guide to the respective N‐Style RF connection on the RF Module.
RF Module Cables for Single‐Card, Dual‐Card, and HDM RF Modules
The RF cable and connector labels also correspond to the RF Module bays in the PRU chassis, where MOD A is the
bottom bay and MOD D is the top bay. In the installation steps, the RF cables and connectors are referred to as
MOD N TX0/RX0 and as MOD N TX1/RX1 where N equals A, B, C, or D.
The cables and connectors have corresponding labels as shown in Table 10 for Single‐Card, Dual‐Card, and HDM
RF Modules.

INSTALL THE RF MODULE(S)
The following sections guide you through the installation of an RF Module into a PRU chassis. The process to
install the four different types of RF Modules is basically the same; however, differences are noted and should be
followed.
NOTE:
In the following steps, the RF cables and connectors are referred to as MOD N TX0/RX0 and as MOD N
TX1/RX1 where N equals A, B, C, or D.
NOTE:
When installing RF Modules, populate the RF Modules from highest frequency band to lowest within the
PRU. Likewise for power output, populate from the bottom bay to the top; higher output to lower
output. That is, for a deployment with 2100 40W, 1900 40W, 850 20W and 700 20W MIMO, install the
RF Modules as follows:
•
•
•
•
2100 40W RF Module in Bay A
1900 40W RF Module in Bay B
850 20W RF Module in Bay C
700 20W MIMO RF Module in Bay D.
Safety Precautions
CAUTION!
This is restricted access equipment and only qualified service personnel should service and operate this equipment
using appropriate tools.
CAUTION!
Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using
electrically‐powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet
location or during a lightning storm.
CAUTION!
Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtails without severe bends. Fiber optic
patch cords or pigtails may be permanently damaged if bent or curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (5.1 cm).
CAUTION!
Exterior surfaces of the Prism Remote Unit may be hot. Use caution during servicing.
CAUTION!
Service personnel must confirm that the perimeter gasket and door‐to‐door gaskets are in place when closing the
Prism doors after servicing.
CAUTION!
This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation can seriously damage the retina
of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical transceiver of any
digital unit or exposure to laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers.
A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to
avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from
entering the adapter or connector.
CAUTION!
This system is an RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain 3 foot (91.4 cm) minimum clearance
from the antenna while the system is operating. Wherever possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the
antenna.

Guard against Damage from Electro‐Static Discharge
CAUTION!
Electro‐Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear an ESD
wrist strap when working with a Prism Remote Unit or when handling any of its components—including the RF
Modules. Connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the Prism
Remote Unit or any of its components. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the Prism Remote
Unit and its components.
CAUTION!
Place Prism RF Modules in anti‐static packing material when transporting or storing them.
Unpack and Inspect the RF Module
Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the
components in the container.
Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip.
If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify TE Customer
Service (see “Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 48). Save the damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier.
Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a future date.
CAUTION!
Handle the RF Module with care during installation. Be especially careful to not damage the thermal‐interface
material (TIM), which is attached to the LPA. If the TIM is damaged, the LPA can overheat. Before installing the RF
Module, check to see if the heatsink material is gouged or cracked. If the TIM is damaged, do not install the RF
Module and contact TE Connectivity for assistance (see “Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 48 for contact
information).
CAUTION!
If the thermal‐interface material is damaged, the installation and use of the RF Module may void the warranty of
the RF Module.

Connecting Cables in a Single‐Bay RF Module Installation
Position the cables so that they are under the right edge of the RF Module, pointing up.
Follow the rules listed in “Understanding the RF Module Cables” on page 14.
Connect the RF Module cables, in the following order:
a Connect the MOD N TX0/RX0 cable to the RF Module.
i Insert the N‐Style Plug of the MOD N TX0/RX0 cable into the TX0/RX0 N‐Style Jack of the RF Module.
ii Turn the coupling nut of the plug clockwise to thread onto the jack and finger‐tighten.
iii Torque coupling nut to 8 ±1 in‐lbs to ensure full connection.
NOTE:
Insufficient torque applied to RF Module connections can result in elevated insertion/return loss and
higher than normal VSWR reported by the system.
Connect the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable to the RF Module.
i If a TX1/RX1 RF Module connection is available, insert the N‐Style Plug of the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable
into the TX1/RX1 N‐Style Jack of the RF Module. If RF Module connection is not available, constrain
the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable to accompanying cables using a tie wrap so it cannot be pinched or prevent
the PRU door from closing.
ii Turn the coupling nut of the plug clockwise to thread onto the jack and finger‐tighten.
iii Torque coupling nut to 8 ±1 in‐lbs to ensure full connection.
NOTE:
Insufficient torque applied to RF Module connections can result in elevated insertion/return loss and
higher than normal VSWR reported by the system.
Connect the LVDS Cables to the RF Module.
i Connect the MOD N DIV LVDS Cable to the DIV receptacle of the RF Module by inserting and sliding
in until fully seated.
NOTE:
Always connect the Diversity LVDS Cable with the RF Module.
ii
NOTE:
NOTE:
Connect the MOD N PRIM LVDS Cable to the PRIM connector, following the same steps as above.
Full insertion can be recognized by an audible click as the LVDS Cable Connector locks into the RF
Module Receptacle. This can be verified by lightly pulling back on the LVDS connector while making sure
not to depress the release trigger. When fully inserted, the cable should not be able to be removed from
the receptacle.
Connect the Power Cable Connector to the PWR receptacle of the RF Module by inserting and sliding in

A Dual 20W SMR800 / PCS1900 RF Module (FWP‐441T841MOD) requires a FlexWave Notch Filter
(FWP‐SPRINTFILTER) between the PRU and the antenna to provide protection from spurious emissions
in the Public Safety band below 861.35 MHz and the Cellular band above 869.5 MHz. Information on
how to install the Notch Filter is provided in “FlexWave Notch Filter (FWP‐SPRINTFILTER)” on page 44.
•
The upper RF Module shelf will either not be present (factory installed module) or will be removed prior
to installation (field installed module).
•
The MOD N TX0/RX0 cable for the lower RF Module bay will need to be connected to the MOD N TX0/RX0
N‐Style RF connection of the Dual‐Bay RF Module.
•
Constrain the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable to the existing cables using a tie wrap such so it cannot be pinched
or prevent the PRU door from closing. Do not cut or attempt to otherwise remove this RF cable.
•
The RF cables and two LVDS cables of the lower RF Module bay are not used when installing a Dual‐Bay
RF Module.
Working from the bottom connector up, connect the RF Module cables, as follows:
a Connect the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable to the RF Module.
i Constrain the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable of the lower RF Module bay to accompanying cables using a tie
wrap so it cannot be pinched or prevent the PRU door from closing.
ii Connect the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable to the TX1/RX1 or N/C, N‐Style Jack of the upper RF Module bay.
iii Turn the coupling nut of the plug clockwise to thread onto the jack and finger‐tighten.
iv Torque coupling nut to 8 ±1 in‐lbs to ensure full connection.

sliding in until fully seated.
ii Connect the Power Cable Connector to the PWR receptacle of the upper RF Module by inserting and
sliding in until fully seated. If PWR receptacle is not available, constrain the Power Cable to
accompanying cables using a tie wrap so it cannot be pinched or prevent the PRU door from closing.
Full insertion can be recognized by an audible click as the Power Cable Connector locks into the RF
Module Receptacle. This can be verified by lightly pulling back on the Power Cable Connector while
making sure not to depress the release triggers on the ends of the connector. When fully inserted, the
cable should not be able to be removed from the receptacle.
