Powerwave Technologies Inc. reserves the right to make changes to documentation and equipment, including
but not limited to component substitution and circuitry changes. Changes that impact this document may be
subsequently incorporated in a later revision of this document.
This Powerwave product is designed to operate within the Normal Operating (typical operating) ranges or conditions specified in this document. Operation of this equipment beyond the specified ranges in this document
may cause (1) spurious emissions that violate regulatory requirements; (2) the equipment to be automatically
removed from service when maximum thresholds are exceeded; or (3) the equipment to not perform in accordance with its specifications. It is the Operator's responsibility to ensure this equipment is properly installed and
operated within Powerwave operating specifications to obtain proper performance from the equipment and to
comply with regulatory requirements.
The rated output power of a WRH-V it is for multiple carriers. As long as the composite power does not exceed
the rated power (20W for North America), derating is not required for multiple carriers. For situations where
regulatory requirements require reduced interference to adjacent band users, the rating would have to be
reduced by 3 dB. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. Input power is rated at 115/230VAC, 50/60Hz, and should be protected based
on the power and fuse specifications in Chapter 5 of this manual. Power strips should, at a minimum, conform
to this requirement to prevent equipment damage and possible overload.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
CRF47 part 15 of the FCC rules. This equipment is also certified to CRF47 part 22 (cellular), part 24 (PCS) and
part 90 (iDEN800 and iDEN900) of the FCC Rules depending on the band of operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Powerwave Technologies, Inc. for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate this equipment. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
Industry Canadian Requirements
All Powerwave apparatus introduced in the Canadian market meet all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. The -20dB bandwidth at 1900 MHz band is 80 MHz. The -20dB bandwidth at IDEN 900 MHz band is 20 MHz. The -20dB bandwidth at the 850 MHz is 34 MHz. The output
impedance of the unit referenced in this document is 50 Ohms. The -20dB bandwidth at IDEN 800MHz band is
26 MHz. The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations
when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced. For example, at IDEN 800MHz
band, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can
cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain
reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. The input signal is optical so input impedance
requirements are not applicable.
European Requirements
The Powerwave WRH-V apparatus introduced in EU markets are certified to ESTI EN 300 609-4 (GSM900 and
DCS1800) and ESTI EN 301 908-11 (WCDMA).

Introduction
This manual contains information and procedures for installation, operation, and maintenance of a High Power
Wideband Radio Head (WRH-V). The manual is organized into chapters as follows:
❑
Chapter 1 - Product Description
❑
Chapter 2 - Controls and Indicators
❑
Chapter 3 - Installation
❑
Chapter 4 - Maintenance
❑
Chapter 5 - Specifications
Scope of Manual
This manual is intended for use by service technicians familiar with similar types of equipment. It contains
service information required for the equipment described and is current as of the printing date. Changes which
occur after the printing date may be incorporated by a complete manual revision or alternatively as additions.
Safety
It is necessary that any personnel involved in installation, operation, or service of units included in a Powerwave
Distributed Antenna System (DAS) understand and follow the below points.
044-05251 Rev B
❑
Powerwave WRH-Vs are designed to receive and amplify signals from one or more
base stations and retransmit the signals to one or more mobile stations. And, also to
act the other way round, that is to receive signals from one or more mobile stations,
amplify and retransmit the signals to the base stations. Powerwave WRH-V systems
must be used exclusively for this purpose and nothing else.
❑
Units supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets and in conformity
with the local prescriptions.
❑
Power supply units supplied from the mains contain dangerous voltage that can cause
electric shock. Disconnect the mains prior to any work in such a unit. Local regulations
are to be followed when servicing such units. Authorized service personnel only are
allowed to service units while the mains is connected.
❑
The WRH-V cover must be secured in opened position, for instance by tying it up.
Otherwise, the cover can be closed by the wind and cause your fingers getting pinched
or your head being hit.
❑
When working on a WRH-V on high ground, for instance on a mast or pole, be careful
not to drop parts or the entire WRH. Falling parts can cause serious personal injury.
❑
All RF transmitting units, including WRHs, will generate radio signals and thereby give
rise to electromagnetic fields that may be hazardous to the health of any person who is
extensively exposed close to an antenna.
❑
A lithium battery is permanently mounted on the CU and FON PCBAs. Due to the risk
of explosion, this battery must only be removed from the board by a Powerwave
authorized service technician.
❑
NiCd batteries are mounted on the FON PCBA. These batteries contain environmental
poisonous substances. If replaced, the old batteries should be disposed of as stated in
the local prescriptions.

Safety
High Power Wideband Radio Head (WRH-V)
❑
The FON unit contains a Class 1M laser transmitter that emits 2—4 mW of invisible
laser radiation at 1550 nm during operation and is intended for a restricted location.
Avoid direct exposure from a disconnected laser transmitter or fiber cord. For example,
do not view directly with optical instruments (magnifiers) and do not view directly with
non-attenuating optical instruments.
❑
The FON unit has this warning label attached:
❑
See page 3-5, Fig. 3-6 for the location of laser apertures on the FON.
❑
Do not power up the FON unit if a fiber cable is not connected to the fiber output UL
port, or if a fiber cable is connected to the port but disconnected at the other end.
❑
Never look at the end of a fiber cable. The 1310nm and 1550nm laser light is not
visible. Always use an instrument, such as a power meter, to detect signaling.
Human Exposure of RF Radiation
Safe distances must be kept when working around antennas. The following paragraphs describe the cautions
to be aware of during the installation and maintenance of antenna systems and how to calculate safety
distances needed for RF radiation at different antenna power and frequencies.
Antennas
To be able to receive and transmit signals, a WRH-V is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the
base station and a service antenna directed towards the coverage area. A fiber optic cable from the base
station might, however, be substituted for the donor antenna.
Installation and Maintenance of Antenna Systems
Installation and maintenance of all antenna systems must be performed with respect to the radiation exposure
limits for public areas. The antenna radiation level is affected by WRH-V output power, antenna gain, and
transmission devices such as cables, connectors, splitters and feeders. Also have in mind the system minimum
coupling loss, typically between 25dB and 35dB, is determined by a standard with the purpose to protect base
stations from noise and other performance dropping effects.
Radiation Exposure
The World Health Organization (WHO) and International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) have determined recommendations for radiation exposure. ICNIRP recommends not to exceed the
following radiation power for public exposure:
Frequency Radiation power
800/900 MHz
1800/1900 MHz
2100 MHz
4.5W/m²
9.0W/m²
10.0W/m²
For antennas larger than 20cm the maximum radiation power can be calculated by using the following formula:
S= P/(4πr2)
1-2
S = Radiation power in W/m²
P = Output power in W
r = Distance between antenna and human in meters

High Power Wideband Radio Head (WRH-V)
Overview
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
ESD can severly damage essential parts of the equipment if not handled carefully. Parts on
printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) as well as other parts in the equipment are sensitive
to ESD. Never touch the PCBA or uninsulated conductor surfaces unless absolutely
necessary.
If you must handle the PCBAs or uninsulated conductor surfaces, use ESD protective
equipment or first touch the chassis with your hand. Never let your clothes touch PCBAs or
uninsulated conductor surfaces and always store PCBAs in ESD-safe bags.
Overview
Figure 1-1 Powerwave Wideband Radio Head (WRH)
Powerwave WRH-Vs work as bi-directional on-frequency amplifiers used to extend coverage into uncovered
areas in wireless mobile systems such as base station fringe areas, tunnels, convention centers, airports and
buildings. It receives, amplifies, and transmits signals to/from a base transceiver station (BTS) to/from mobile
stations (MS) with both directions being served simultaneously. Connections to the WRH-V are made with Ntype or 7/16" male connectors.
WRH-Vs are microprocessor controlled with alarm and operational status LEDs visible on the front cover.
Cooling is provided through convection heat dissipation. Operational parameters, such as gain and power
levels are set using a PC running Powerwave OM-Online software which communicates with the WRH-Vs
either locally or remotely via modem. Remote operation can be performed via PSTN or a GSM net. The
Operation and Maintenance System (OMS) provides for Network Operations Center (NOC) configuration and
alarm monitoring.
WRH-Vs can be configured in many combinations depending on the wireless system, single or double system
operation, and output power. The following paragraphs provide a description of the different models of WRHVs available.
The WRH-V is a fiber fed system designed to provide a high output power level and comes equipped with a
MCPA in the downlink path. The MCPA restricts the number of bands to one in the cabinet and one additional
band if a high cover is used. The MCPA is located in the cabinet and is supplied from the existing PSU.

Overview
High Power Wideband Radio Head (WRH-V)
Chassis Design
The WRH-V is housed in a cast aluminium waterproof chassis, class NEMA4 / IP65, approved for outdoor use
but is also suited for indoor installations. The chassis consists of a cabinet and a cover attached with hinges.
The cabinet contains the WRH-V circuitry. The cover comes as either a low or high version. The high cover can
be used as an empty cover or be equipped as a part of the WRH-V or an independent WRH-V unit. A WRH-V
with a high cover that is equipped as two independent units can, for example, be equipped for channel selective
operation in the cabinet and band selective operation in the cover.
Inside the WRH, a number of amplifier PCBAs are individually shielded and located under a metal cover that
can be opened outward. These PCBAs are of different types depending on the supported system.
Sub Unit Overview
A number of amplifier PCBAs are individually shielded and located under a metal cover inside the WRH-V. This
cover can be opened outward for access. These amplifier PCBAs are of different types depending on the
supported system. All of the WRH-Vs are built up with a number of sub units which are described in the
following sections.
Wideband Amplifier PCBA (WBA)
WRH-Vs can handle multiple carriers over a wide band. Each band requires one WBA for the uplink and
downlink, and one associated PA or MCPA for the downlink. The cabinet can be equipped with up to two WBAs
along with two PAs supporting two bands or one MCPA supporting one band. Positions 1 and 3, shown in
Figure 1-6, are assigned for a WBA.
Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier PCBA (MCPA)
The MCPA is used to amplify the output signal from the WBA. Each MCPA can handle one band in the downlink
direction. It requires an extra heat sink element on the outside of the cabinet or high cover to dissipate the heat
generated. The MCPA occupies positions 2 through 4 in the cabinet and 6 through 8 in a high cover, as shown
in Figure 1-6.
Distribution PCBA (DIA)
The DIA is the core distribution PCBA to which all other PCBAs and units connect in the cabinet with the
exception of the PA. Figure 1-2 shows a DIA PCBA. A shielded metal frame on the DIA provides the mounting
location for the CU, ALI and RCIs, if used.

Overview
Control Unit PCBA (CU)
Figure 1-3 shows the CU, which is the core microprocessor controller in the WRH-V and is connected to P2 on
the DIA. The CU contains a microprocessor, main memory, flash memory for the CU software, EEPROM
memory for parameters, memory for the event log and statistics, a REFO reference oscillator, ports for local
and remote communication, a battery powered real-time clock, and a MAC identity circuit. It supervises and
controls operational parameters such as gain control and channel handling, alarms, the event log, the
password and the logon. The CU is also a control interface for OM-Online and OMS. Software for the CU can
be downloaded from OM-Online, either locally or remotely. It is located in the lower right part of the shielded DIA
frame.
Figure 1-3 CU PCBA
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
LNAs are used on the uplink and are located at the top of the cabinet and the high cover, if equipped. An
example of an LNA is illustrated in Figure 1-4. All of the coaxial connectors are SMA-type. Signals from the DPX
output are fed to the LNA input connector (IN). The OUT1 and OUT2 outputs feed the WBAs in the UL direction.
The signal level at these connectors is +20dB referenced to the antenna input. The other output, OUT LOW, is
an expansion output for an additional LNA if the WRH-V is equipped with a unit in the cover part of the chassis.
The gain to this connector is +2dB. The +7V input is used for +7V supply from the DIA PCBA and the ATT
connection is for the control signal for a controllable attenuator in the LNA.

Fiber Optic Distribution Networks
Fiber optic networks are setup identically to data networks. WRH-Vs are connected in a star configuration as
illustrated in Figure 1-7. In this example, a Base Station Master Unit (BMU) is fed by a BTS via an RF cable. An
Optical Converter Module (OCM) could also be used depending on the system configuration. The BMU or OCM
contain three FONs and provide continuity to the FONs in the four WRHs. By using WDMs and Optical Splitters
(OSPs) in the WRHs, the distribution net can be built up with a combination of star and daisy-chain connections
using double or single fiber.

Installation
Introduction
This chapter contains unpacking, inspection and installation instructions for installing and powering up the
WRH.
Site Survey
Powerwave recommends that a site survey be performed prior to equipment ordering or installation.
Performing a detailed site survey reduces or eliminates installation and turn-up delays. Pay particular
attention to power plant capacity, cooling needs, floor space, and RF/DC cabling/breaker requirements.
Cabinet dimensions and weights are listed in Chapter 5.
Unpacking and Inspection
This equipment has been operated, tested, and calibrated at the factory. Carefully open containers to remove
equipment. Retain all packing material that can be reassembled in the event unit must be returned to the
factory. Perform the following steps:
❑ Visually inspect equipment for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If possible, in the
presence of the delivery person.
❑ Check for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or extraneous
packing material in connectors.
If equipment is damaged, file a claim with the carrier once the extent of any damage is assessed.
If equipment must be returned to factory, please contact factory for a Return Material Authorization (RMA),
see Chapter 4.
WRH-V Location
The WRH-V is designed with a weather proof outdoor cabinet that can be mounted without any kind of shelter
from rain, snow or hail. The same unit can be installed indoors. A preferable site for the WRH-V is a location
free of obstructions, easily accessible and allows for proper air-flow and ventilation.
If a WRH-V is installed outdoors and can be exposed to direct sunshine, it is essential that air circulates
around the WRH-V with no obstacles. The operating temperature must not exceed 131°F (55°C). A shelter
can be used to shade the WRH-V from direct sunshine.
Never open a WRH-V when rain, snow, hail, high humidity or high winds are present unless some kind of
temporary shelter can be erected.
Mounting
The WRH-V is easy to mount using the provided mounting bracket, which has 9/16-inch (14mm) holes for 3/8inch (10mm) or 1/2-inch (12mm) fixing screws. Clamps with C-C measurements of 3.5-inch (90mm), 5.3-inch
(135mm), 5.7-inch (144mm), 8.1-inch (205mm), 9.8-inch (250mm), and 11.8-inch (300mm) can be used as
well. The vertical C-C measurement for these is 16.2-inch (411mm). There is a 9/16-inch (14mm) single hole
in the middle of the mounting bracket, marked ‘A’ in the figure, which is intended for a locking screw to lock the
bracket into place.

Figure 3-5 Attaching the WRH-V to the Bracket
Connections
This section describes general examples of how to connect the input and output ports on the WRH.
Main Power and Grounding
Local regulations need to be followed for the main power connection. WRH-Vs are approved in accordance
with EN and UL/cUL regulations. This is, however, only valid if a classified power cord is used. For the WRHV to meet these regulations you must select one of the following classified and approved cord types:
❑ EN – H 05 W5 - F HMR
❑ UL – AWM Style 2587
❑ CSA– AWM 1 A/B 11 A/B
For outdoor use, the power cord should meet at least IP65 encapsulation requirements. Do not turn the main
power on until you are ready to commission the WRH.
WARNING: For WRH-Vs supplied from the main power source, the main outlet must be
grounded.
Fiber Optic and RF Connections
Fiber optic and RF cable connections should be verified both internally and externally before powering up the
equipment. This section illustrates the general internal connections of the WRH-V. Verify these connections
with the as-built drawings and documents for your specific system configuration. Table 3-1 lists the steps to
add the external connections to the WRH-V.

Alarms
Alarm signals from external sensors are received by an ALI or RCI which forwards them to the CU. The RCI is
used if the WRH-V has an RCU, otherwise the ALI is used. The software on the CU can activate acoustic or
visual alarms or direct the alarm to the P33 alarm port for forwarding via an RCU through OM-Online. Alarms
can also be handled by the FON. Alarms are configured through OM-Online.
External Alarm
Burglary, fire or other external alarms can be handled by the WRH-V. External alarm sensors and alarm
signals are connected to the P33 alarm port located to the left in the cabinet, as illustrated in Figure 3-7. The
P33 alarm port is described in Chapter 2. The cable for this installation is taken through a strain relief bushing
at the bottom of the WRH-V cabinet.
Door Open Alarm
A door open alarm can be configured and installed in the WRH. This is arranged with a door switch connected
to pin 8 (AI4) on P28, as described in chapter 2. The location of P28 is shown in Figure 3-7.

Commissioning
Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Testing
PIM is the non-linear effect of passive RF components in a desired RF transmission band. As higher percarrier transmit power levels are applied to duplexed passive RF networks, PIM becomes an increasingly
significant factor in potential receiver desensitization. A PIM tester may be used on the RF network prior to
turn-on and commissioning of the unit, but if a PIM tester is not available, the following may be used:
The following equipment is required to test for PIM:
❑
❑
❑
❑
Anritsu Site eMaster or equivilent RF Spectrum Analyzer
Agilent ESG4432B or equivilent Multi-Signal Generator (or commissioned BTS)
Guarateed/calibrated PIM load capable of handling 20W composite power
Low-PIM RF cable adaptors such as N-N female, Din male to N femaile, DIN-DIN, SMA-SMA
female, and N male to SMA female
❑ Installed and operational WRH-V unit
❑ Installed passive RF network under test
❑ Torque wrenches for DIN and N connectors
Two different types of setup are available, depeding on equipment availability and testing methods.
Figure 3-10 shows PIM testing with two carriers over one WRH-V, and Figure 3-11 shows PIM testing with
one carrier over each of two WRH-Vs.

The following PIM test uses the receive sensitivity and gain of the WRH-V under test to verify that the receive
path is free of PIM noise. For PIM to be a problem at a particular site, TX signals must exist such that their
products fall into the RX band using the formulae:
3rd order product = (2 * f1) - f2
and
rd
3 order product = (2 * f2) - f1
044-05251 Rev B
3-9
Commissioning
High Power Wideband Radio Head (WRH-V)
Where f1 and f2 are two TX signals entering a WRH-V. The specification for the maximum allowed PIM is -115
dBm per 100 kHz resolution bandwidth at rated output power. To test for PIM follow the steps listed in
Table 3-4.
Table 3-4 PIM Testing Procedure
Step
3-10
Action
If BTS signals are present, continue with step 2. Otherwise, connect two signal generators to OCM
and set frequencies such that products are in relevent receive band (see equations above)
Set WRH-V UL gain to 60 dB and DL gain such that desired per carrier power is presented at output
port
Set Spectrum Analyzer to 100 kHz resolution bandwidth and view RX band at 3rd order product
frequency calculated in step 1
Loosen fastening screw in each corner on front cover of WRH-V under test, and open cover
Verify the noise floor specification for the Spectrum Analyzer. If the noise floor is higher than or equal
to -85 dBm/100 kHz, locate FON, disconnect UL cable from port P101 and connect
SpectrumAnalyzer to the cable using an SMA female - female connector (noise limit becomes -115
dBm + 60 dB = -55 dBm). Continue with step 7.
If noise floor is lower than -85 dBm/100 kHz, locate the FON card and connect the Spectrum Analyzer
to P117 (noise limit becomes -115 dBm + 60 dB - 30 dB = -85 dBm). If the FON only has three RF
ports on the left side, port P117 will not be available, so follow instructions listed in step 5.
Enable WRH-V TX signal. For details on using OM-Online, see OM-Online user manual
Using Spectrum Analyzer, measure noise level. If no noise exists above calculated limit in step 5
(-55 dBm) or step 6 (-85 dBm) above, as appropriate, then test is passed and no other action is
necessary
If a higher level of noise exists, disable the WRH-V TX signal and disconnect cable to DAS at bottomleft outside corner
10
Connect low PIM load onto WRH-V Service antenna connector at bottom-left outside corner. Tighten
connectors securely
11
Remeasure noise level. If no noise exists above calculated limit in step 5 (-55 dBm) or step 6 (-85
dBm) as appropriate, then DAS has a PIM issue. Tighen all connections in DAS with torque
wrenches, replace any cripmed or severely bent cables, and retest. Repeat until all issues are solved
12
Otherwise, if noise is higher than limit, WRH-V is defective and must be replaced. See Chapter 4 for
Replacement procedures

RCU for Radio Communication
The RCU antenna for a radio modem is connected to the BS antenna via the uplink DC, provided the RCU
and the WRH-V operate in the same cell system. Otherwise, the modem must have a separate antenna. Data
is transferred between the WRH-V and the RCU via the P130 modem port on the RCI or FON. The RCU is
also powered via the same port and has a battery with enough capacity to send a number of alarms if a main
power failure occurs.
RCU for Telephone Line Communication
The land line version uses a telephone line connected to a terminal block on the RCU. A free strain relief
bushing at the bottom of the WRH-V is used for the external telephone line cable.
Return For Service Procedures
When returning products to Powerwave, the following procedures will ensure optimum response.
Obtaining an RMA
A Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained prior to returning equipment to the factory
for service. Pease contact our Repair Department at +1-714-466-1000 to obtain this number, or FAX your
request to +1-714-466-5800. Failure to obtain this RMA number may result in delays in receiving repair
service.
Repackaging for Shipment
To ensure safe shipment of the unit, it is recommended that the original package designed for shipping the
unit be reused. If it is not available, contact Powerwave’s Customer Service Department at 1-800-797-9283,

Block Diagrams
Introduction
This appendix describes the main signals paths for the WRH.
Non-Diversity
Figure A-2 shows the non-diversity block diagram configuration of the WRH-V. The WRH-V is always fed by a
BTS via either a BMU or an OCM. The TX signal from the BTS is converted to an optical signal in a BMU or
OCM and fed to the WRH-V via a fiber optic cable. The optical signal is then received by the FON and
converted to an RF signal. The FON supervises the signaling and reports errors via the RCU connected to the
CU.
The RF signal enters the WBA, is amplified, and further amplified in amplifier stages followed by controllable
attenuators. The signal exits the WBA and enters the MCPA where it is amplified and fed to the DPX. The
amplified output signal passes the DPX before it is fed to the service antenna.
The uplink signal path is located on the same WBA but goes through an LNA before entering the WBA.

Diversity
Figure A-2 illustrates the diversity block diagram configuration of the WRH-V. With diversity installed, there
are two paths on the UL instead of one. This requires an additional FON for the added receive path signal.
Signal flow is identical to the non-diversity version with the MCPA on the DL and LNAs on the UL providing
the additional amplification out of and into the WBA.
