WRFU
One WCDMA radio frequency unit (WRFU) supports 40 W (2 carriers) and 80 W (4 carriers) power outputs.

Function
The direct frequency conversion technique, which is directly implemented in the transmit channel, modulates the baseband signals to WCDMA RF signals. After being filtered and amplified, the RF signals are transmitted to the antenna for transmission through the duplex filter. The uplink RF signals received from the antenna go through down-conversion, amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, digital down-conversion, matched filtering, automatic gain control (AGC). Then, they are sent to the BBU for further processing. Power control and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) detection Reverse power detection Frequency synthesis and loopback test Generation of the CPRI clock, recovery of the CPRI clock of lost synchronization, and alarm detection The WRFU supports 40 W (2 carriers) and 80 W (4 carriers) power outputs.

The WRFU consists of the high-speed interface unit, signal processing unit, power amplifier, and duplex unit. Figure 2 shows the principle of the WRFU module. Figure 2 Principle of the WRFU

The functions of the high-speed interface unit are as follows: Transmitting the signals received from the BBU to the signal processing unit Transmitting the signals received from the signal processing unit to the BBU The signal processing unit consists of two uplink RX channels and one downlink TX channel. The functions of the uplink RX channels are as follows: Performing down-conversion of the RF signals to IF signals Amplifying the IF signals and performing IQ demodulation Converting analog signals to digital signals Sampling digital signals Performing matched filtering AGC Encapsulating data The functions of the downlink TX channel are as follows: Decapsulating the clock signals, control signals, and data signals from the BBU and sending them to associated units Shaping and filtering downlink signals Converting digital signals to analog signals and modulating IQ Performing up-conversion of IF signals to the transmit band The power amplifier amplifies the low-power RF signals from the signal processing unit. The functions of the duplexer are as follows: Multiplexing the RX signals and TX signals Enabling RX signals and TX signals to share one antenna channel Filtering the RX/TX signals
