Figure 2.1-1 System Composition of RS-5180 
Transmission of uplink and downlink signals: RF Master Unit receives the downlink signal from 
the BTSs of CDMA800 and CDMA1900. After combines, they are then changed to optical 
signals through the optical interface unit and transmitted to the Remote Unit through optical 
fiber. After changed to RF signals through Remote Unit, they are finally transmitted to Mobile 
handsets by antenna. Vice versa, the uplink signal from user mobile is received by antenna. The 
RF signals is then changed to optical signal by Remote Unit and transmitted to the master unit 
through optical fiber. The optical signal then is changed to RF signals by the optical interface 
unit of the master unit. Finally, after the CDMA800 and CDMA1900 dual band signals are

1800  >0dBm. When one of them is off, it means that the input level of the 
correspondent one is smaller than this normal value.   
If only GSM 900MHz or CDMA1900Hz needs to be opened, 50standard load 
should be connected with the RF connector not in use. Then, the correspondent 
uplink gain adjustment thumb wheel does not function and the correspondent 
downlink RF power LED indicator is off.   
4.1.2  Uplink Level Adjustment 
Uplink level adjustment is a quite important step in the optimization of 
system operation. If uplink level is too high, it may have impact on high drop 
call rate of BTS (including GSM BTS and 1800 BTS), or even block BTS. If it 
is too low, it may reduce the uplink sensitivity at the remote coverage area. In 
practice, uplink attenuation should be determined according to the signal 
coupling way and coupling degree of BTS. In general, the noise level of signal 
input into BTS antenna port should be ≤ -125dBmBW300KHZ. On the panel, 
for GSM, UP ATT manual attenuation adjustmentfigure 4.1-1: 16 and 17can 
provide the maximum adjustment range of over 30dBm with step of 2dB, and 
the correspondent attenuations are  2, 4, 8, 8, and 16dB when DIP code 1, 2, 3, 
4,  and 5 are at the “ON” position. For 1800, it provides the maximum 
adjustment range of over 25dBm with step of 1dB., and the correspondent 
attenuations are  1, 2, 4, 8, and 16dB when DIP code 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are at 
the “ON” position.

4.1.3 RF Connection Between Master Unit and Interface Unit 
RF connection between Master Unit (figure 4.1-1: 1) and Interface Unit 
(figure 4.1-1: 2 ) should be done with upper and lower parts corresponding with 
each other: 6 with 7 and 5 with 8.  4 pairs of fiber-optic connectors (SC 
optical flange)-EOWN OPOUT (figure 4.1-1: 9)/UP OPIN (figure 4.1-1: 10) are 
on the panel of the Interface Unit. Connect the uplink and downlink optical 
fibers from the coverage end with these fiber optic connec\ctors. In connecting 
fiber optic connector, never face it toward people’s eyes and skin since laser 
beam may hurt people’s eyes and skin. 
4.1.4 Check Ports 
There are two pairs of RF connectors on the panel of the Master Unit: 
One pair is GSM TEST (figure 4.1-1:23-uplink RF output, 22-downlink RF 
input) and the other is 1800 TEST (figure 4.1-1:21-uplink RF output, 
20-downlink RF input).  They are the check ports for GSM and 1800 uplink 
and downlink RF signal debug.

are at the bottom of cabinet, fiber-optic connector is SC fiber-optic adapter. 
4.2.2 Check of Input and Output Optical Power 
Measure the receiving power of downlink optical fiber with optical power 
meter. The value should be around -5dBm. Actual loss can be taken into 
account according to the length of cable connecting master unit and Remote 
Unit. Measure the output power of uplink optical fiber with optical power meter 
and the value should be around 0-3dBm.
