E1 Spread Spectrum Radios 1-1 1 Introduction E1 Spread Spectrum Radios has been developed in these recent ten years to a high frequency microwave, digital de/modulation, integrated digital multiplexing, computer control and signal communication technique wholly into Wireless Digital Telecommunication. E1 Spread Spectrum Radios has been extensively use in post and telecommunication service, electric power, military affairs, various specialized network especially in the interconnection between base stations of mobile communication, large enterprises, schools and universities network connection. It is regarded as one of the quickest linkage method and has been largely used in incidental and urgent telecommunication needs.
E1 Spread Spectrum Radios 2-1 2 Features 2.1 E1 Spread Spectrum Radios E1 Spread Spectrum Radios is different from the traditional microwave equipment in smaller size, lighter weight, easy set up and can be conveniently moved from place to place. The main characteristics lie in its advantageous use of high frequency band microwave transmission, digital process, concise structure, quick connection and adapt to complex topographical structure. Extensively use in nested mobile phone base station’s interconnection and signal transmission, short distance local connection and urgent communication. Public and specialized network has large application as well. The present wireless low frequency band is jam-packed and with the demand to build a quicker communication network, the use of high frequency band E1 Spread Spectrum Radios becomes especially meaningful. 2.2 Core Technology The technologies incorporated in E1 Spread Spectrum Radios include: (1) High frequency microwave RF unit and other related RF components design technique (PA, LNA, MIX, DUX etc.) (2) High frequency Synthesizer (3) High amplifier gain control technique（ALC & ATPC） (4) Advanced QPSK de/modulation (5) Microwave frame multiplexer (6) Digital equalizer (7) Forward Error Correction (8) Random N*E1 multiplexer, where N=1~16 (9) Digital cross-connection (10) Computer monitors and relays (11) Network management (12) Digital service (13) Highly efficient and improved overall design Audio frequency: Each voice signal is 64kbps. It has 8kHz sample, 8bits※-per-sample, A/D and D/A conversions. E1 is European Standard. 1*E1 ※is 30 voice channels, plus a frame control and a signaling i.e. 32*64kbps = 2.048Mbps
E1 Spread Spectrum Radios 2-2 2.3 Composition and Principle 2.3.1 System Composition E1 Spread Spectrum Radios is composed of the Outdoor Unit (ODU) and the Indoor Unit (IDU). Other accessories include the antenna systems and terminals. ODU is the Rx/Tx unit of microwave signal. It is composed of microwave components (amplifier, LNA, up/downconverter, frequency synthesizer etc.), duplexer, IF unit (include dual converter, local oscillator, IF processing segment etc.), monitor unit, remote unit, and power processing board. IDU mainly comprised of QPSK modulator, multiplexer, monitor unit, NMS, digital service, power system, other interfaces etc. Antenna systems include antenna, connectors and other installation accessories for fixing to the pole or stand. ODU and IDU are connected by an IF cable. Figure 2-1 E1 IDU Block Diagram 2.3.2 System Principle N number of E1 signals, digital service, 9600bps system net control and 9600bps data relays multiplexed in a multiplexer to a specific microwave frame code. After QPSK modulation, the system sends the transmission to the ODU through an IF cable. It enter the ODU IF upstream balance circuit, upconverter, power amplifier, filter,
E1 Spread Spectrum Radios 2-3 duplexer and are then transmitted out through the antenna system. The opposite terminal’s antenna system receives the microwave signals and passed on to the multiplexer, LNA, downconverter, filter, dual conversion and the IDU. In the IDU, it passes through the QPSK demodulator to recover the microwave frame signal. This frame signal is then processed through demultiplexer to recover the N number of E1 signal and other service signal. The monitor unit of the equipment is controlled by the CPU (central processing unit) to function as: monitoring, controlling, dispatching, alarming, processing and signaling etc. Based on the statistical result of BER test in the multiplexer, we have 10-3BER, 10-6BER and frame loss signals. Digital service adopts the Analog rule of 64kbps and PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) for service relay, complete address selection and full address function. Simulating transfer completes the multiple categorized public affairs connection. The dialing mode adopts DTMF system. System network management uses PC machine of Intel Pentium II and above operating system. Under Microsoft Windows environment’s using Arbeit NMS, it is possible to relay between equipment, collect all the equipment’s status in the network and select records for printing. The introduction of animation design makes the network topology and selected equipment’s status crystal clear.
E1 Spread Spectrum Radios 3-1 3 Technological Characteristics Traditional digital microwave equipment generally transmits E1 signal only, so there is always the need to apply for frequency channel use because of technological limitations. In recent years, there is a dramatic change in the structure, composition and application of digital microwave communicative equipment.

E1 Spread Spectrum Radios 5-6 Display the number of E1 capacity. If it displays 4XE1, it means that the equipment has four E1 interface. In this manual, we have taken 4E1 equipment as an example for easy explanation. Figure 5-10 IDU Type: nXE1 A4. Code: AMI/HDB3 (as in A3 display, press ► ) Display the code used. After pressing the OK button, use the Right/Left button to choose either of the two codes: AMI or HDB3.  Note: AMI Code→ AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion) is a synchronous clock encoding technique which uses bipolar pulses to represent logical 1 value. A logical 0 is represented by no symbol and a logical 1 by pulses of alternating polarity. Example of AMI encoding: The pattern of bits " 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 " encodes to "+ 0 0 0 0 - +  Note: HDB3→ HDB3 (High Density Bipolar Order 3 Encoding) is based on Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI), but extends this by inserting violation codes whenever there is a run of 4 or more 0's. This and similar (more complex) codes have replaced AMI in modern distribution networks. The purpose of this is to prevent long runs of 0's in the data stream, sometimes called a "run length limited" code. Encode any pattern of more than four bits as B00V, where B is a balancing pulse. The value of B is assigned as + or - , so as to make alternate "V"s of opposite polarity. The receiver removes all Violation pulses, but in addition a violation preceded by two zeros and a pulse is treated as the "BOOV" pattern and both the violation and balancing pulse are removed from the received bit stream. This restores the original bit stream. HDB3 is one of CCITT’s recommended uses. For example: switching E1 transmitted HDB3 code to AMI code 1. Enter IDU Info/Code: sub-menu. Press OK.
