8.1 Module features, alarms and troubleshooting
8.1.1 CORE module - CORE
The CORE module, for its versatility and potentiality, is the core of ECOS-D RBS.
This module is equipped with devices for numerical computation (DSP, FPGA) and
control (microprocessor).
The primary functionalities of the Core Module are:
 MMI (Man Machine Interface) to allow an operator to interact with the
device
 Main Simulcast Management, implementing the voting algorithm,
equalization and a matrix of AF signals.
 local and remote management of the device.
The module is able to receive the input reference source from multiple clock signals:
 Internal GPS receiver (up to 2)
 AF tone (eg, tone at 3400 Hz via from an external source through LIF or DIF module)
 2,048 MHz (G.703)
The choice of input clock signal is performed according to a configurable logic that normally assigns
higher priority to the GPS signal.
The module provides as its output the following clock signals to all the other modules of the RBS:
 RBS main reference clock (26 MHz)
 PPS main and / or spare
Selex ES S.p.A.
Information contained in this document may not be used, applied or reproduced for any purpose unless agreed

The CORE module can accommodate also two option boards:
 The SoIP piggy back (Simulcast over IP) that allows the CORE module to manage IP link
towards other RBS
 The Vocoder piggy back, that allows the CORE module to manage the digital voice
The CORE MMI makes available to a technical operator the following functionalities.
 Radio frequencies settings (RX e TX);
 RF transmission power settings (Hi / Low);
 Enable / disable of input/output lines (radio and wired);
 Speak and listen on selectable interfaces;
 Measures:
power supply (V);
RSSI (dBm);
RF transmit power (dBm);
 voted signal;
 Selection and management of Audio Frequency (AF) signals for test purposes;
 Lock / unlock of voice in local speaker (radio squelch or criterions);
 Speaker volume setting;
 Display brightness setting;
 Menu language setting;
The MMI is composed by a 8 characters display (each character is 5 x 7 pixels) and a Keypad
The keypad is composed by 16 buttons: SQ (Squelch), Fn (Function), +, -,
, C (cancel) and 0 ÷ 9. In
the following a brief summary of their use is given.
SQ
Use it to open/close the analog squelch of the device
Fn
Use it to switch between stand-by mode and menu mode.
+/-
These are multi-function buttons: they are used for navigation in menu, to up and down

8.1.3 Digital Interface module – DIF
The "Digital Interface” (DIF) module is the module that is able to manage up to 4 digital E1
streams. This module is equipped with devices for numerical computation (DSP, FPGA) and
control (microprocessor) combined with the electrical interfaces for the E1 streams.
The DIF module is also able to provide cross-connect and add / drop functionality over the 4
E1 streams.
The DIF module is the digital interface of the RBS with the outside world. As already said it
handles the digital aggregated flows (compliant to E1 G.703/G704 standard). These link are
used to carry voice and data information to / from other RBS to build a Simulcast network.
The device makes use of one of the 30 channels (64 kbit/s) available in a 2,048 Mb/s E1 for
communications with other RBS and makes them available inside the station. The module
has also the cross-connect and add / drop functionalities, being able to redirect all the 120 channels
according to a predetermined matrix.

8.1.5 Switch module – SWITCH
The Switch module realizes a "solid state" switch (MOSFET) device for the distribution of the
power necessary for the proper working of all the modules of the ECOS-D RBS. In particular
its primary task is to distribute the 13.2 Vdc nominal voltage (Master voltage) and 7 Vdc
nominal voltage (Slave voltage).
The 7 Vdc Slave voltage is used by all the other modules to power their logic. It is generated
by the switch module for direct conversion from the 13.2 Vdc Master voltage.
The switch module provides:
 ON / OFF of all the modules on the same RBS
 Protection against Extra Current (short circuit or overload > 22 A ± 5%)
 Protection against Extra voltage (maximum input voltage equal to 30 Vdc ± 5%)
 Protection against voltages outside the guaranteed operating range [10.8  15.6 Vdc].
 Protection against reverse polarity input voltage.
 Protection against over temperature inside the module itself (≥ 100 ° C ± 1%).

8.1.8 Power Amplifier module – PA
The “Power Amplifier” (PA) module is a wide band RF amplifier in UHF
frequency band: 806 ÷ 894 MHz.
Their time of TX ramp up/down is less than 1200 μsec. This makes the module
compatible with the stringent demands of digital transmission.
Thanks to a microprocessor mounted on board, the module is able to implement
the PUFF technology (Powerful Universal Forming Function) for the shaping of
transient power in order to obtain compliance with the rapid transient rules of
ACP (Adjacent Channel Power).
The microprocessor also manages completely the operation of the module: this
would remove any calibration procedures. All configuration changes are performed via software.
Other main functionalities are:
 continuous transmitter’s operations (100% duty cycle).
 Output power selectable between two values (Phi and Plo), each of which can be SW set to
a nominal value between 10 and 110 Watts.
 final stage protected against excessive mismatching output power. In the case that VSWR
remains above a set threshold (eg ReturnLoss = 5dB) for more than a fixed time, the
module is able to send an alert and the output power will not exceed a safety value (eg ≤
10watt).
 temperature threshold alarm: if the temperature remains above a set value for more than a
fixed time, the module is able to send an alert and will ensure that the RF output power will
not exceed a predetermined safe value.
