TheBirdFiber‐DASsystemisaflexibleandscalablesolution,meaningthesystemcanbetailoredforalmostany

requirement.Thisflexibilityprovidestheusertheabilitytoadjustmanyofthesystemsparameterstofittheir

specificneeds.

RF on fiber

Afiberdistributedantennasystem(Fiber‐DAS)isanefficientmethodoftransmittingradiosignalsoverlarge

distances.OurFiber‐DAScanprovideasmuchas30kmoffiberbetweenthehead‐endandtheremoteunit,

providingthattheradioaccesstechnologyusedintheRadioAccessNetwork(RAN)doesnotsuffertimingissuesand

thatthefiberlossiswithinthespecification.

TheFiber‐DASusesaninfra‐redlightsource,modulatedwiththecombinedradiosignalsthatneedtobe

propagated.Thefiberchannelsystemisultrawide‐band,rangingfrom88MHzupto2600MHz,thuscoveringmost

typesofradiocommunicationsystemsincludingasFMbroadcast,VHFcommunicationradios,LTE,TETRA,GSM,

CDMA,WCDMAandmanyotherradioaccesstechnologies.

MostlandmobileradioandcellularsystemsuseFrequencyDivisionDuplex(FDD)whichmeans:

Twoseparatefibers,onefortheuplink(signalsfromtheterminaltowardsthebasestation)andoneforthe

downlink(signalsfromtheradiobasestationtowardstheterminal)

Orasinglefiberandthesignalsmustbemultiplexedusingdifferentwavelengths.

Bird’sFiber‐DASuseswave‐lengthdivisionmultiplexing(WDM)asthestandardconfigurationfeaturingthe

following:.

Singlemodefiber

Angledconnectors

Upto15dBopticalloss

Note: SeparateUL/DLfiberscanbeusedifitisnecessaryordesired.

Thedynamicofthefiberisgoodenoughtotoleratemulti‐carrier,multi‐bandandmulti‐operatorsolutions,butthey

sharetheavailabledynamicsandifthereisalargenumberofcarriersthefiberattenuationneedstobeconsidered.

Becausethemodulationisanalogthesystemrequiresthefiberstobeofsinglemodetype.Allconnectorsusedin

Bird’sFiber‐DASequipmentareSC‐APCtypewitha7°angle.Itisimportantthatallconnectors(i.e.patches)

betweentheMasterUnit(MU)andtheRemoteUnits(RU)beangled,otherwisereflectionscouldresultcausing

problemswiththequalityofthesignalsthroughthesystem.

anditiseasiesttoconnectitintotheBIUport.Rememberthatwhenyoumeasurehere,thesignalshouldalsogo

throughtheBTScouplerbeforeitreachesthebasestationreceiverport.Thereforeyoushouldexpecttoreada

valuethatis

Yourexpectedgain+thelossinyourcoupler

Ifyouwantanetgainof‐5dBandyouhavea15dBcoupler,youshouldreadanetgainof+10ontheBIUport.This
