INTRODUCTION
+

NECs new PASOLINK series; 6-38 GHz 155 Mbps Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) microwave radio systems are designed to transmit one synchronous transport module (STM1, 155 Mbps). They operate at the 6-38 GHz radio frequency band using quadrature amplitude modulation (32-QAM or 128-QAM), and have a transmission capacity of OC3 or STM-1. In + addition to the PASOLINK systems for short distance links, NEC offers a complete product line of STM-1 radio systems that includes the 4, L6, 7, 8, 13 GHz 155 Mbps 128 QAM and 4, 5, U6, 8, 11 GHz 155 Mbps 64 QAM systems for long distance use. For those systems, please refer to the other technical descriptions. The PASOLINK radio systems are fully compatible with SDH Network Elements (NE). The systems consist of antennas, outdoor units (ODU), and indoor units (IDU). They are connected through a coaxial cable for each radio channel. Available configurations are nonprotection type (1 + 0) and protection type (1 + 1). The protection type is available for twinpath type and hot-standby type. Regarding antenna configurations there are two types available. There is a one-antenna system employing hybrid (HYB) RF combiner and divider, and a two-antenna system method using each antenna for two ODUs independently. The hybrid is the passive device that combines and divides the signals between two ODUs and an antenna. Therefore, the oneantenna system requires only a single antenna, however, additional loss between ODUs and antenna have to be considered. On the other hand, the two-antenna system has high system gain as same as non-protection type. STM-1 interface can be selected for electrical or optical. Therefore, PASOLINK systems are useful in fiber optical transport system (FOTS). Additionally, Fast Ethernet interface can be selected for IP network. The PASOLINK employs a full digital MODEM using enhanced signal processing techniques and forward error correction (FEC). Moreover, the bit-error-rate characteristics against receiver input signals are excellent for applying FEC (32-QAM System: MLCM (multi-level code modulation) and RS (Reed Solomon method), 128-QAM System : QAM and RS). The equipment can be installed easily and quickly using a PC (as Local Craft Terminal), and as a maintenance tool.

2.1

FEATURES
Advanced Technologies and Superb Performance

Throughout the SDH radio system, NECs own advanced technologies are used. Intensive use of Microwave Integrated Circuits (MICs) and Hybrid ICs (HICs) make the TRP durable and compact. Also, custom made large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs) are applied. For example, a new digital MODEM is incorporated in a single LSI chip, specially developed by NEC for the radio equipment. Furthermore, low-power high-speed complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) LSIs are extensively used, making the equipment more compact and reducing the power consumption.

2.2

High System Gain

Multi-Level Coding Modulation (MLCM) is applied to ensure a better error performance (32 QAM System). Forward Error Correction (FEC) with Reed-Solomon coding is equipped to improve BER performance.

2.3

Easy and Quick Installation

Interconnection: Only one coaxial cable and automatic equalization (up to 450 m by using 12D-FB cable) Compact and Light Various mounting methods for IDU, ODU, and antenna

2.4

Common platform architecture

The ODU of 128 QAM type can be used for 32 QAM type.

2.5

Frequency Agility and Easy Tuning

Field tunable local-oscillator (Synthesizer) RF point frequency can be changed through LCT (Local Craft Terminal, except 6 8 GHz) Frequency Tunable without changing RF FIL on Subband basis.

2.6

TX Power Control

ATPC (Automatic Transmitter Power Control) reduces interference to neighboring systems, improves residual BER performance, alleviates upfade problems. The adjustable range of ATPC is -20 dB to 0 dB (128-QAM) and 23 dB to 0 dB (32-QAM). MTPC (Manual Transmitter Power Control) is also available through LCT. The adjustable range of MTPC is 20 dB to 0 dB (128-QAM) and 23 dB to 0 dB (32-QAM) at 1 dB step.

2.7

System Flexibility

(1 + 0) Unprotected (1 + 1) Hot-standby (1 + 1) Hot-standby with Space Diversity (1 + 1) Twin-path (Hitless switching) IDU is commonly used for all frequency bands.

(In case of 1+1 Hot-standby or twin-path system, either one antenna system with hybrid combiner or two antenna system excluding hybrid combiner is chosen. Please refer to Fig. 3 (a), (b).) 1 + 1 Hybrid combiner: NEC provides 3 dB balance-type hybrid combiner.

5. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Protection Capability
PASOLINK provides a protection switching system of Hot-standby protection (1 + 1), and twin-path protection (1 + 1). 1. Non-Protection System Non-protection system consists of one ODU, one IDU for 1 + 0 System, and one antenna. 2. Hot-Standby System Hot-Standby system consists of two ODUs, one IDU for 1 + 1 system, and one or two sets of antennas. The protection switch of this systems is performed by the TX switches on the ODUs at the transmitting end and Hitless switch on the 150 M INTFC (or OPT INTFC) module in the IDU at the receiving end. 3. Twin-path System Twin-Path system consists of two ODUs, one IDU for 1 + 1 System, and two sets of antennas. The protection switch of this system is performed by the Hitless switch on the 150 M INTFC (or OPT INTFC) module in the IDU at the receiving end.
+

5.2 Antenna
The complete menu of PASOLINK antennas includes diameters of 0.3m to 1.8m. They are designed to meet stringent requirements on mechanical rigidity. Antennas with diameters of 0.3m to 1.8m can be mounted directly to the ODU, making waveguides obsolete. This has relevant cost and reliability merits and makes the installation quicker and easier. The + PASOLINK pole mounting structure is designed in a way that the ODU can be replaced while keeping the antenna and mounting bracket, including orientation, in place. The reflectors of the antennas are covered with white diffusive paint and the mounting structure is hot-dip galvanized. In the 6 - 8 GHz band, coaxial or waveguide cable with transducer is used for connecting between the ODU and IDU.
+

5.3 Transmitter-Receiver (ODU)

A block diagram is shown in Figure 4-5. The transmitter-receiver is designed to handle a STM-1 signal in 6-38 GHz bands. The equipment is designed to withstand severe weather conditions. 32/128-Quadrature amplitude modulation (32/128 QAM) is applied. Local Oscillator is employed for APC (Automatic Phase Control) loop circuit at the transmitter and receiver.

5.4 Indoor Unit (IDU)

The IDU consists of six (6) panels that have following functions. (Figure 4-1) 1. ODU INTFC Performing the multiplexing/demultiplexing of the transmitting signal, receiving signal, SV and EOW signal Compensating the signal loss depending on IF cable length Automatic Gain control

7. DC-DC CONV Converting 48 VDC (option 24 VDC) input voltage to several internal utilizing voltages

5.5 Other Tools and Materials

1. LCT

Local Craft Terminal (LCT) is the simple provisioning and maintenance terminal for + PASOLINK system. LCT connects to the IDU. The LCT can control all functions and measures all monitor levels. 2. PNMS

NEC can provide an Element Network Management tool (PNMS: PASOLINK Network Management System). These tools can be used for maintenance and performance monitoring. These tools consist of software for UNIX or WINDOWS NT OS. 3. Coaxial Cable (Interconnection between IDU and ODU)

The 5D-FB, 8D-FB, 10D-FB or 12D-FB coaxial cable (Low loss 50 ohms) serves as the interconnection between the transmitter-receiver (ODU) and baseband unit (IDU). The cable exchanges I/O data signals, DC power, alarm signals, control signals for frequency and TX power, RX level and ODU primary voltage monitoring signals and a pair of orderwire signals. Due to the use of different IF (Intermediate Frequency) for TX and RX, a single coaxial cable is sufficient. This results in faster and easier installation. 4. Power Supply Voltage

The nominal power supply voltage is 48 VDC. The guaranteed range of the same unit is sufficient for nominal voltage of 36 to 60 V (48 V) as well. In this way, commonality between modules is achieved throughout the network even if different DC voltages are applied at different locations. (24 VDC power supply is available as an option.) 5. PASOLINK MONITOR (OPTION)

PASOLINK MONITOR is used for receiving signal level monitor and ODU-IDU/ODU-ODU EOW system. This is an installation tool for antenna direction pointing. (Receiving level can be measured as voltage by voltmeter without PASOLINK MONITOR.) 6. Head set

Head set is used for EOW system.
