Each FRM consists of the following maincomponents: duplexer pre-selector module (DPM) or triplexer module, transmit receivemodule (TRM), power amplifier module (PAM) and fan/plenum assembly. The alarmindicator module (AIM) is located within the fan unit housing. The PAM, TRM, and fanunit have the same mechanical dimensions for both 800 MHz and 1900 MHzconfigurations. The 800 MHz DPM is taller than the 1900 MHz DPM.The minimum requirement (1 carrier) is 2 antennas per sector, one for the main path (Tx and one diversity path) and one for the other diversity path. A two carrier system can also be supported with two antennas. In this case, each antenna carries one carrier on the Tx side and one diversity path on the Rx side. With a three carrier system, a third antenna is added to carry just the Tx of the third carrier6.1 Cable ConnectionsThe optical link cable, SFRM DC power cable and the GPS antenna cable have a provisionablelength. When ordering, the length must be specified and fall below the maximum lengthspecifications indicated.The quantity of inter-DFRM cables required depends upon the application. In a single carriersystem, no inter-SFRM cables are required. In 2 or 3 carrier systems, inter-SFRM cables arerequired.Two sample configurations will be considered for illustrative purposes. These are:i) a basic system with no redundancy;Table 6.1:  Number of CarriersNumber of Antennas per Sector122233

One or two GPS antennas may be connected. The GPSantenna receives the signals from multiple satellites, and the signal is supplied to the GPSreceiver in the Metrocell via a coaxial cable. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the GPSantenna is clear of obstructions and interference.The antenna should be installed to provide the best view of the entire sky. A complete view ofthe sky from horizon to horizon will enable the receiver to observe as many GPS satellites aspossible. This allows the GPS receiver to select the best combination of GPS satellites for bestperformance. If the GPS antenna must be installed with a limited view of the sky, it may not beable to track a sufficient number of satellites to determine its position. The GPS receiver musttrack at least 4 satellites simultaneously for some period of time in survey mode. Once the GPSreceiver has an accurate fix on its location, it can maintain accurate timing signals to the BTSwhile tracking only one satellite.The maximum distance between Metrocell and GPS antenna is set by the maximum allowablecable loss of? dB. The cable length and type is required by the GPS receiver for determining thedelay from antenna to the receiver.

All T1/E1s connected to each DCG need to have thesame timing reference at the BSC. Each link requires 2 twisted pairs.There are two ways of connecting T1/E1 to the Metro Cell. The T1/E1 cables can bedirectly brought into the DEI or they can be connected to a RJ48H connector whichinterfaces with the DEI. The RJ48H connector cable NTGS0106 is provisionable. In theDEI T1/E1 connections are done on the middle and lower blocks among the threeTelephone/Data Line Protection blocks as shown in Figure 87. The RJ48H connector isshown in Figure 88 and the pinout is shown in Table 30.The number of T1/E1s that need to be connected to the Metro Cell depends on the callcarrying capacity of the T1/E1s and the number of calls that a Metro Cell has to make.The number of T1/E1 that need to be provisioned for a Metro Cell can be determinedfrom Ref [10].The two modes of operation of Metro Cell are regular (or non-split) mode or split mode.In the regular mode only one DCG is active, the other DCG may not be provisioned or isa redundant DCG. In the split mode both DCGs are provisioned and are active. EachDCG in the split mode is a logical BTS. The T1/E1 connections of the Metro Cell in theregular and split mode are done as shown in Table 27.The T1/E1 lines are connected to one of the two BTSI cards in the control module (CM)Table 27: T1/E1 Connections of Metro Cell without Daisy Chaining

The connections are controlled by relays and are exclusiveto one DCG. Therefore if T1/E1 #1 is connected to the first DCG then the same linescannot be connected to the other DCG. This is true in regular as well as split mode. Inregular mode since only one DCG is active, therefore, all the T1/E1s are connected tothe active DCG. When the redundant DCG takes over then the connections are switchedto it by closing the relays on this new active DCG and opening them on the previouslyactive DCG. The middle column of Table 27 shows how the T1/E1 connections are donefor the active DCG in regular mode. In the split mode each DCG is active and is part ofthe logical BTS. Therefore, each DCG has its own independent T1/E1 connections. Theright column of Table 27 shows how the T1/E1 connections are done for the two logicalBTSs in the split mode. It is clear from [1] that a single DCG, supporting a maximum oftwo carriers, does not need more than 3 T1/E1 connections. So, the connections shownin Table are reasonable and will provide for a redundant T1/E1 link per logical BTS inmost cases (keeping in mind the number of T1/E1 links needed for 2 carriers asmentioned in [10]).The Metro Cell can be configured for a shorthaul link or a longhaul link. In case of ashorthaul configuration the Metro Cell should be within 655ft of the last repeater while fora longhaul link the Metro Cell should be within 6000ft of the last repeater using 22 gaugeunshielded twisted pair cable i.e. 100 ohm 22 gauge cable. The shorthaul and longhaullink is configured using software. The distance of the Metro Cell from the last repeaterhas to match the software configuration.
