The RU performs the following functions:  Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband data to the BBU.  Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to intermediate frequency (IF) signals, amplifies the IF signals, and performs analog-to-digital conversion. The transmit (TX) channel filters downlink signals, performs digital-to-analog conversion, and up-converts RF signals to the TX band.  Multiplexes receive (RX) and TX signals on the RF channel, which enables these signals to share the same antenna path. It also filters the RX and TX signals.  Provides a built-in Bias Tee (BT). The built-in BT couples RF signals and OOK signals and transmits them through the TX/RX port A. The built-in BT also supplies power to the tower mounted amplifier (TMA).  The RU can be powered by the AC/DC power module. In this case, this RU is called AC RU. For details about the AC/DC power module, see the AC/DC Power Module User Guide or OPM15M User Guide. 2.3 RU Technical Specifications This section describes technical specifications of an RU, including supported modes, frequency bands, RF specifications, engineering specifications, and antenna capabilities.

A fixed-length RF jumper used by an RU is 2 m (6.56 ft), 3 m (9.84 ft), 4 m (13.12 ft), 6 m (19.68 ft), or 10 m (32.81 ft). A variable-length RF jumper used by an RU has a maximum length of 10 m (32.81 ft).   When the distance between an RU and an antenna is less than 10 m (32.81 ft), one end of the RF jumper is connected to the ANT-TX/RXA or ANT-TX/RXB port at the bottom of the RU, and the other end is connected to the antenna.  When the distance between an RU and an antenna is greater than 10 m (32.81 ft), one end of the RF jumper is connected to a feeder, and the other end is connected to the antenna.  If the customer prepares the RF jumper, the length of the RF jumper should be as short as possible and not exceed 2 m (6.56 ft.). Exterior An RF jumper has a DIN male connector at one end and a customized connector at the other end. Figure 3-9 shows an RF jumper with a DIN male connector at each end.

When the RU is connected to the RET antenna, an AISG multi-wire cable transmits RS485 signals. The length of the AISG multi-wire cable is 5 m (16.40 ft).  An RCU is a driving motor used for the phase shifter in the RET antenna. It receives control commands from a base station and runs the commands to drive the stepper motor. Using a gear, the stepper motor drives the adjustable phase shifter in the antenna and changes the downtilt angle. Exterior An AISG multi-wire cable has a waterproofed DB9 male connector at one end and a standard AISG female connector at the other end, as shown in Figure 3-10. Figure 3-10 AISG multi-wire cable  (1) Waterproofed DB9 male connector (2) Standard AISG female connector  Pin Assignment Table 3-6 describes the pin assignment for the wires of an AISG multi-wire cable.
