Duplexer and Low Noise Amplifier
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 Prism Remote Unit Single‐ and Dual‐Card RF Modules and the Dual‐Slot 40W
RF Modules contains up to two REV path Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA for PRI and/or SEC reverse
paths). Each LNA provides the Prism reverse path with nominal 30 dB REV gain and system NF of
5 dB per RX path.
The Duplexer for an HDM RF Module does not have a Low Noise Amplifier.
Duplexers are not field serviceable.
Linear Power Amplifiers
The Linear Power Amplifier (LPA) is a high quality broadband RF amplifier used for achieving
Prism product‐rated power for the PRU Tx forward path spectrum RF. The PAs are pass‐band
specific, with the maximum composite Tx power levels, and >10 dB instantaneous peak power
rating listed in:
•
Table 5 for Single‐Card, Dual‐Card, and HDM RF Modules
•
Table 6 on page 14 for Dual‐Slot 40W RF Modules.
The LPA is housed within the RF Module, and is 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:
•

Power Cable Connection
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.

Understanding the RF Module Cables
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.
•
When installing a Non‐Diversity or SISO 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 slots in the PRU chassis,
where MOD A is the bottom slot and MOD D is the top slot. In the installation steps, the RF cables
and connectors are referred to as MOD N TX0/RX0 and as MOD N TRX1 where N equals A, B, C, or D.
The cables and connectors have corresponding labels as shown in Table 7 for Single‐Card,
Dual‐Card, and HDM RF Modules.

Safety Precautions
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 TRX1 where N equals A, B, C, or 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.

Install the RF Module(s)
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 the IRU or when handling any of its
components. Connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before
touching the IRU or any of its components. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work
with the IRU and its components.
CAUTION!
Place the 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 46). 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 46 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‐Slot 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 15.
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.
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 MOD N TX0/RX0 cable to the RF Module.
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 LVDS Cables to the RF Module.
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
Connect the MOD N PRIM LVDS Cable to the PRIM connector, following the same steps
as above.
NOTE:
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 until fully seated.
NOTE:
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.

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 15.
Follow the rules listed below that pertain only to Dual‐Slot RF Modules.
•
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 slot will need to be connected to the
MOD N TX0/RX0 N‐Style RF connection of the Dual‐Slot 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 Power (PWR) cable and two LVDS cables of the upper RF Module slot are not used
when installing a Dual‐Slot RF Module.

Install the RF Module(s)
Connect the LVDS Cables to the RF Module.
If available, connect the MOD N DIV LVDS Cable to the DIV receptacle of the lower RF
Module by inserting and sliding in until fully seated. If DIV receptacle is not available,
constrain the MOD N DIV LVDS Cable to accompanying cables using a tie wrap so it
cannot be pinched or prevent the PRU door from closing.
ii If available, connect the MOD N PRIM LVDS Cable to the PRIM receptacle of the lower
RF Module by inserting and sliding in until fully seated. If DIV receptacle is not
available, constrain the N PRIM LVDS Cable to accompanying cables using a tie wrap
so it cannot be pinched or prevent the PRU door from closing.
iii If available, connect the MOD N DIV LVDS Cable to the DIV receptacle of the upper RF
Module by inserting and sliding in until fully seated. If DIV receptacle is not available,
constrain the MOD N DIV LVDS Cable to accompanying cables using a tie wrap so it
cannot be pinched or prevent the PRU door from closing.
iv If available, connect the MOD N PRIM LVDS Cable to the PRIM receptacle of the upper
RF Module by inserting and sliding in until fully seated. If DIV receptacle is not
available, constrain the N PRIM LVDS Cable to accompanying cables using a tie wrap
so it cannot be pinched or prevent the PRU door from closing.
NOTE:
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 to the RF Module.
Connect the Power Cable Connector to the PWR receptacle of the lower RF Module by
inserting and sliding in until fully seated.
ii If available, 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.
NOTE:
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.
