1. Introduction
1.1
Fiber Fed Repeater
The JF43 FFR provides a cost effective solution for cell extension coverage and
increased call quality in shadow areas. It is a RF signal transport system that
provides long range RF coverage where it is impractical to install a BTS.
The JF43 FFR is designed to be strategically placed to overcome difficult zoning
issues by allowing the base stations to remain at a central location while placing
antennas at remote locations. RF signals can be transported to remote locations to
expand coverage into areas not receiving service or to extend coverage into difficult
to reach areas such as canyons, tunnels and underground parking lots and roadways.
The JF43 FFR provides a high-tech, highly-efficient service system which enables
high quality communication at low cost, due to the system’s utilization of one optical
fiber core between the DHU and RU supporting full duplex transmission of signals for
both the DL and UL.

Advantages
There are many advantages to deploying a FFR.
•
Supports adjacent block interference protection which allows just one model of the
FFR to cover the entire PCS frequency range. The FFR is settable to allow a
combination of 85 different frequencies to be serviced. This advanced filtering
personality prevents interference from adjacent frequency blocks.
•
Allows for versatile deployment architectures. Extra optical transceiver modules
can be added to the DHU to increase service coverage. A flexible RF splitter unit
can also be implemented to combine multiple RF ports supported by newer BTS.
•
The slim and sleek appearance of the RU allows it to be installed and deployed in
difficult zoning areas.
•
Its water and moisture resistant NEMA 4X structure make it reliable and durable.
•
The FFR system is monitored and controlled from a central remote location by
making use of a CDMA wireless modem via the SNMP protocol.
•
Operation and maintenance and repair is simple. The system provides alarms and
information on the repeater gain settings, output level control, HPA on/off, internal
temperature monitoring and problems concerning the optic module. The system is
designed to operate with a comprehensive network management system.
•
The system uses only one optical fiber core for transmission and reception of
signals. To achieve this, WDM is implemented which enables multiple wavelengths (FWD: 1550nm, REV: 1510nm) to be simultaneously transmitted and
received through the one optical fiber core.

General Safety Precautions
This equipment contains components that emit laser radiation which can
seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any
optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit
or exposure to laser radiation may result. An optical power meter or
reflectometer should be used to verify active fibers. Place a protective cap or
lid immediately over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to
avoid potential damage caused by radiation exposure. This practice also
prevents dirt particles entering the openings.
The optical fiber emits radiation. Do not look directly into the ends of an
optical fiber. This may result in exposure to radiation. Do not assume laser
power is turned off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Wet locations and conditions will increase the risk of electrical shock when
installing or using electrical powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock,
never install or use electrical equipment in wet locations or during lightning
storms.
The DHU is powered by 50-88VAC. To prevent electrical shock when
installing or maintaining the DHU, disconnect the wiring at the power source
before working with un-insulated wires or terminals.
The RU is powered by 115VAC. To prevent electrical shock when installing
or maintaining the RU, disconnect the wiring at the power source before
working with un-insulated wires or terminals.
Always consider and allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing or patch

3.5.2 Cautions during Installation
1. Caution when connecting the optic cable:
●
Clean the connection part of connector using an industrial tissue and 99.9% pure
alcohol.
●
After connecting the optic jumper cable, the residual section should be set in a
large circular form to prevent it from folding.
2. Caution when setting the repeater :
●
Do not power on the system while the output port of the system is not connected.
●
Before connecting the DHU input from the BTS, measure and confirm the DHU
input level is within the DHU input dynamic range.
●
Confirm the connections of the cables and connectors are tight.
●
Confirm the ground connection complies with the safety specifications for
protection against thunderstorms.
3.5.3 Optical Fiber Jumper Cable Assembly
An Optical Fiber Jumper Cable assembly is available from Juni America, Inc. to
facilitate connection from a single-mode optical fiber transmission facility (dark fiber)
to the DHU or RU. The Optical Fiber Jumper Cable assembly is shown in the figure
below. It has an overall length of approximately 100 feet. It includes a weatherproof
“boot” assembly which serves to seal the circular opening (in the DHU or RU), where
the optical fiber jumper cable enters and connects to the FFR subsystem, via the
FC/APC connector provided.
Only one optical fiber core is required for the optical fiber connection between the
DHU and RU, and a second optical fiber core is provided within the jumper cable
assembly as a “spare”. Should one of the fiber cores fail, ensure the system is turned
off by following the “Replacement of faulty units” section. Unplug the problematic fiber
core from the DHU and RU and plug the spare jumper cable into the unit. This will

Connection to perform optic cable loss test
Check optic cable loss by using an optic power meter or reflectometer
1. With the DHU on, connect the power meter to the optic module of the RU and
measure the Forward (1550nm) output level. If the optic input level exceeds +6dBm,
check the DHU optic module.
2. If the optic loss is larger than –6dBo (on the basis of 1510nm, optic loss = donor
output optic power – remote input optic power) through calculating with measured
optic power and if the optic cable length between the DHU and RU is less than 15
miles, check if there is a fault in the PD (Photo Diode) or check the optic cable.
3. If a PD fault has occurred inspect the optic input level and check the optic line. Clean
the optic connector and if a fault is still existent, send the repeater back to Juni for
repair.
* Reference
a. Optic cable loss is 0.25dB/km at 1510nm, and connection loss is 0.4dB/connector.
The total optic deviation of connector is about 1to2dB. (0.4dB ×2 (connector) =
about 1dB)
b. At the time of delivery, the Gain is set to be about 38dB (Tx), 20dB (Rx) as a default
on the basis of optic cable length being 15 miles.
3.5.14 Setup Procedure for DL/UL Path Gain

From the Donor-0 Status (Figure 4.7) or the Remote-0 Status (Figure 4.9), click the
“CHG” check box next to the desired control items that you wish to change, then
modify the values and click the “Update” button to allow the changes to take affect.
To set up the system so that the RU RF output of 20 watts is not exceeded, enter a
value of 43dBm into the upper limit. Under certain circumstances where the output
power exceeds this value, the AGC function will provide attenuation so as not to
damage the unit. The lower power limit can be set as 17dBm.
Please note that the power level readings on the LMT versus the actual RF power
can differ by up to 1dB. For this reason the offset feature is included in the LMT.
The initial attenuator settings on the LMT should be as follows:

SNMP Operation
4.3.1 Introduction
The DHU utilizes a wireless CDMA modem connected to the SNMP agent to transmit
SNMP traps and informs to a central Sprint EMS (Element Management Server) on
the Sprint private network. The traps, or commonly referred to as a heartbeat, are
sent at an interval of every 20 minutes and it a method of notifying the EMS that the
repeater is still connected to the network and is functioning correctly. Informs are
transmitted when an alarm at a RU occurs. The inform is sent to the EMS providing
information on the type of alarm that has occurred and which repeater it originates
from.

5. System Maintenance
This section explains the JF43 FFR system fault detection and alarm reporting
system, and provides a method for determining troubleshooting faults.
Maintenance also includes diagnosing and correcting service problems as they occur.
When an alarm is reported, it will be necessary to follow a systematic troubleshooting
procedure to determine the problem. Once the problem has been isolated, the
appropriate corrective measures must be taken to restore service. The only internal
components that can be replaced are the cooling fans which are mounted in the DHU
and RU. All other failed internal components will require Juni engineers to replace and
test the units.
5.1
Periodic Maintenance
The JF43 FFR requires minimal regular maintenance to insure continuous and
optimal operation and performance. However, it is advised that the DHU and RU are
checked often. Components that require regular replacement, cleaning, or testing
include the DHU and RU fans and backup battery. The NEMA 4X enclosure ensures
that the JF43 FFR can withstand all environmental influences. The following two
procedures can also be followed when a fan fails and needs to be replaced.
5.1.1 Donor Unit Fan Maintenance
1. The fan is located above the MCU and is labeled ‘Fan Control Unit’.
2. Unplug the 24V power cable feeding the Fan Control Unit.
3. Unscrew the two multi-turn fasteners on each side of the compartment.
4. Pull out the Fan Control Unit completely from its position.
5. One fan is used to cool the DHU which will require regular maintenance by
Version 1.17
ⓒ Juni America Inc.
Page 68 of 88
JUNI JF43-E1900/CFN03
CDMA FIBER FED REPEATER OPERATIONS MANUAL
cleaning and/or dusting.
6. Once maintenance is complete, return the Fan Control Unit back into its space
and tighten the multi-turn fasteners.
7. Plug the power cable back into the Fan Control Unit.
5.1.2 Remote Unit Fan Maintenance
1. The fan compartment is located at the top of the RU.
2. Turn off the fan at the fan controller.
3. To perform maintenance on the fan for the RU, turn the eye bolts at the top of the
RU a quarter turn to unlock the fan compartment and then slide it out of the RU.
The fan compartment has a draw stud which latches onto a predefined hole to
prevent the fan compartment from falling out.
4. Pull out the fan compartment firmly to release the stud from its hole. Do not pull
on it too hard as a 24V power cable is directly connected to the fan compartment.
5. There are two fans in the compartment which is required to be cleaned and
checked regularly to ensure proper operation of the fan and allow the fan to
perform its duty in cooling the RU.
6. At the completion of the maintenance, return the fan compartment by sliding it
back into its designated placement.
5.2
Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The JF43 FFR on board embedded software detects various unit and system faults
which generate either a Major or Minor alarm. A major alarm indicates that the
repeater has failed in a way that directly affects RF transport performance. When a
major alarm occurs, all RF functions are affected and will cause the system to be out
of service. A minor alarm means that the system performance is not affected, or in
some cases, that the performance may no longer be optical. When a minor alarm
occurs, RF functions continue and the system remains in service.
