MU
Antenna
RU
Figure 3: System Diagramc
On the DL, signals from the BTSs or BDA are converted into optical signals after amplification in the
MU.Then the optical signals are transmitted to the RU via optical fiber. The Optical TX/RX Module of RU
converts the DL optical signals into RF signals. After amplification, the signals are transmitted from RU
ANT port to the service antenna using 50Ohm coaxial cable.
On the UL, the signals transmitted by the mobile are converted into optical signals, and then via the UL
optical fiber, the signals are transmitted to MU, which then converts the optical signals back to RF signals
and send to BTS or BDA via 50Ohm coaxial cable.

Note:
As the system calibration process is calibrated for single channel, so if there is more than one same band
input, because of the power superposition, the band total output power will higer than target DL output
power after the calibration is complete.
The calibration work is mainly to set device to reach it’s theoretical gain, so when there are two or more
same bands access into and they have the same input power level, each channel will reach it’s rated
power, so the total output power will be (input A+gain) + (inputB+gain)+…+(inputN+gain). For example, if
there are two 1900MHz bands acess to MU, each has 10dBm input power, the total output power of RU
1900MHz will be 46dBm+46dBm=49dBm.
For Multi-channel same band access, 800+850 (which share the same PA) access and 700 Uper C +
LowerABC (also shared PA), they all will have power superposition. In this situation, users need to adjust
system gain manually; otherwise, the output power will be higher than 48dBm which will trigger alarms
(See Chapter 6 for details).
Refer to the method below for the gain adjustment:
Suppose a band with N independent inputs, each input signal power are all X dBm. Apparently, there
exists the following relationship between input and output after finished auto communication on WEB GUI:
X dBm + Gain = 46dBm, then the total output power for N channels access is X dBm + Gain + 10*Log(N)
= 46 + 10*Log(N), so Users need to set 10*Log(N) RFU ATT on WEB GUI for each channel.

Optical RX Alarm
Diagnosis
DL Input Power
Overload Alarm
Check device temperature on WEB GUI
If device temperature is over threshold, make sure environment temperature
is within the envireonment temperature range that MU supported (0~40℃).
Apply climatic protection to the system under severe environment.
Test MU transmit optical power
Replace FOU if transmit optical power is less than -7dBm
Use Optical Power Meter to test received optical power
If received optical power is lower than -10dBm, test whether RU transmit
optical power is normal (3~5dBm)
Check if optical loss of fiber link is higher than 6.5dBo
Clean fiber connector with absolute ethanol
Test DL input power of MU, if it is higher than +33dBm, choose proper coupler to
ensure the input power to MU is lower than +33dBm.
