Installation Manual Issue 3
The Remote Units may consist of combinations of 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz and 2100MHz
frequencies and are available in either a 20 Watt or 40 Watt output configuration. Each RU is designed to
support a Single Frequency Band. For multi-frequency use, the system can be configured as multiple
Master/Slave Remote Units. Each Master Unit can support a maximum of two slave RUs with a maximum
of three RUs supported per fiber connection. The primary transport between the HU and the RU is fiber
optic. The Fiber Optic also provides the RU alarms and configuration communication between the NMS
and the Remote Unit. The downlink and uplink optical signals are duplexed so only one fiber is required.
3.1.1 Host Unit
The Host Unit provides a multiple slot assembly, consisting of 9 slots numbered from left to right: 1
through 9. Slots 7 through 9 are used and specifically keyed for the Remote Control Unit (RCU) and two
redundant Power Supply Units (PSU) only. The Host Unit also houses the Base Station Interface Units
(BIU) and Fiber Interface Units (FIU), Figure 3-2. The BIU comes in Diversity (BIU-D) and Non-Diversity
(BIU-ND) and the FIU comes in Simulcast (FIU-S) and Non-Simulcast (FIU-NS) modules. The HU allows
multiple combinations of BIU and FIU modules with up to 3 band downlink and uplink RF signals per BIU
from the BTS and converts them to analog over RF for fiber transport.
The Host Unit, through interface combinations, provides the following functions:
• Converts the BTS RF signal to fiber signal.
• Supplies connectivity between the BTS and the Remote Unit.
• Manages and monitors the system alarms and configurations.
• Supports 1 to 3 Sectors system configurations.
• Supports a single sector with 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 Simulcast configuration.
• Supplies fiber connectivity to the Remote Unit with in-band message signaling.

3.1.3 Remote Unit
The Single-Band Master Remote Unit, shown in Figure 3-4a, b and c, consists of an optical module
(O/E), a downlink power amplifier, an LNA, and duplexer. The Optical module converts the downlink
optical signal from the FIU module in the HU and splits the RF signal into 3 RUs. It also converts the
uplink RF signal to an optical signal and simultaneously sends it to the FIU module in the HU for
distribution to the BIU modules. Each optical module can support 3 RUs in any combination of different
bands.
The Single-Band Master Remote Unit provides the following functions:
• Converts the forward optic signal to RF signal.
• Boosts the forward RF signal from the HU to a higher power level (max output:40W).
• Amplifies the uplink signal from the antenna to improve the system receive sensitivity.
• Supplies in-band messaging between the HU and RU for RU Alarms and configuration.

3.2.3 Remote Unit Interface
The interface of the Remote Unit consists of connectors and LEDs that are located on the bottom of the
RU enclosure. The Master RU user interface points are indicated in Figure 3-8 and Table 3-3. The Slave
RU user interface points are indicated in Figure 3-9 and Table 3-4.
Remote Units are classified as either MASTER or SLAVE. Master and Slave Units have exactly the same
mechanical dimensions. Functionality is the main difference as the MASTER Remote Unit has the
connection for the fiber optic cable. For supporting multiple bands, only the MASTER Remote Unit needs
to have the fiber optic connection with the Host Unit. Other Remote Units are interfaced with SLAVE ports
for receiving RF downlink signal and sending RF uplink signal with the Master Remote Unit.
•
MASTER Remote Unit:
• Has the Fiber Optic Cable connection with the Host Unit
• Provides the RF downlink signal to the SLAVE Remote Unit through “TX_IN” or “TX_OUT” port.
• Receives the RF uplink signal from the SLAVE Remote Unit “RF_IN” or “RF_OUT” port.
