RET It is used to connect the RET port on the NMON through a cable and
transmit RET control signals.
TEST_TX/RXA It is a port for test. The coupling of TX signals from the port labeled
ANT_TX to this port is 45 dB. Therefore, you can monitor TX signals
at this port. The coupling of RX signals from this port to the RX main
diversity port is 45 dB.
RXA0/RXA1 They are output ports for the main diversity RX channels. They
correspond to the output end of the main diversity LNA and are
separated into two ports after being divided. The input end of the main
diversity LNA corresponds to the port labeled ANT_TX/RXA at the
top of the cabinet.
RXB It is the output port for the diversity RX channel. It corresponds to the
output end of the diversity LNA. The input end of the diversity LNA
corresponds to the ANT_RXB port.
TX It is the input port for TX signals. Signals transmitted from the MTRU
are sent to the MAFU through this port and then to the antenna through
the ANT_TX/RXA port.
PWR/COM It is the port for power and communication. It provides -48 V power
for the MAFU and achieves communication between the MAFU and
the MTRU.
Two antenna connectors labeled ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_RXB are located at the top of the
MAFU. The two connectors extend out of the cabinet and are directly connected to jumpers of
the antenna system.

UL signals and transmits DL signals.
l The port labeled ANT_RXB is an antenna connector at which the system receives UL
signals only.
l The MTRU consists of two RX channels in mutual diversity mode and one TX channel.
Each channel supports two adjacent carriers.
l The digital part of the MTRX performs combined clipping and baseband predistortion of
the two carriers and processes uplink and downlink digital IF signals. It also controls the
whole MTRU.
l The analog part of the MTRX performs downlink analog quadrature modulation,
amplification of small uplink signals, and down conversion.
l The MTRU includes an HPA, a power amplification module for downlink signals.
l The MTRU has an MPWR, a power supply module for the whole MTRU.

l Strips the 1-carrier or 2-carrier digital IQ signals from the interface module to reduce the
PAR of the downlink signals.
l The signal manipulation and the signal insertion.
l Sending the generated data to the DPD processor.
l The DPD chip compares input signals with feedback signals and performs pre-distortion
of the signals in the digital domain.
l The signals are divided into two IQ paths, and sent to the AQM modulator of the RF channel
from the DAC.
l Processing the digital intermediate frequency signals (on one or two carriers) from the
ADC, including the down conversion, the filtering extraction, the filtering matching, and
DAGC.

l Executes the RTWP measurement and the correction of the main signals after matching
the filtering and diverging the signals.
l Reports the result to the CPU.
RF Transceiver
The RF transceiver consists of an RF transmitter and an RF receiver.
The RF transmitter consists of the AQM, the amplifier, the numerically controlled attenuator,
the filter, and the digital transmitter.
l The digital transmitter outputs one-carrier or two-carrier signals. The signals combined
with IQ signals are modulated into RF signals in the AQM. The precision of the AQM
modulation can be set to very high by the DPD correction.
l The modulated signals are sent to HPA after amplification, gain adjustment, and filtered.
l Down converting the uplink signals from the MAFU through filtering to the intermediate
frequency. This intermediate frequency satisfies the ADC processing capabilities.
l The SAW filter filters the signals at this frequency twice to restrain out-of-band
interference.
l Because the RX channel is the two-carrier channel, it provides AGC simulation to expend
the dynamic range of the receiver. Therefore, the receiver can reach its highest performance
regardless of the interference.
HPA
The HPA amplifies weak RF signals from the RF transmitter. The maximum output power is
38 W or 50 W. It also provides forward coupling for the VSWR test, the DPD feedback and the
stabilization of the downlink-gain loop.
Feedback Channel
The feedback channel converts down the forward TX signals that are coupled by the HPA, and
sends to the DPD processing system through the ADC. The DPD compares feedback signals
with input signals in the digital domain to determine the pre-distortion parameter.
CPU
The CPU carries out the control and maintenance inside the MTRU board.

The 75-ohm E1 cable is a coaxial cable. The cable consists of eight micro coaxial wires and
every two micro coaxial wires constitute one E1. Therefore, each 75-ohm E1 cable provides
four E1s. One end of the 75-ohm E1 cable is a DB25 male connector, and the other end is bare,
as shown in Figure 5-10.
(4) Coaxial cable external conductor (ring, that is, the shielding layer)
The 120-ohm E1 twisted pair cable consists of four pairs of 120-ohm wires. Each pair of wires
constitutes one E1. Therefore, each 120-ohm E1 cable provides four E1s. One end of the 120-
ohm E1 cable is a DB25 male connector, and the other end is bare, as shown in Figure 5-11.
(3) Label
The number of E1 cables depends on the number of NUTIs/NDTIs configured in the NodeB.
Each NDTI can connect two E1 cables. Each NUTI without the E1 sub-board can connect two
E1 cables and each NUTI with the E1 sub-board can connect four E1 cables.

5.5.1 RF Cables Between the MTRU and the MAFU of a Macro NodeB
The RF cables between the MTRU and the MAFU have two types: the RF RX signal cable and
the RF TX signal cable. The RF RX signal cable connects the RX port on the MAFU to the RX
port on the MTRU and transmits uplink signals. The RF TX signal cable connects the TX port
on the MAFU to the TX port on the MTRU and transmits downlink signals.
5.5.2 RF Jumper of the BTS3812E
RF jumpers are used to connect the antenna system and the antenna port on the NodeB cabinet.
RF jumpers are used for signal interchanges between the NodeB and the antenna system.
Appearance
Figure 5-27 shows the RF cable between the MTRU and the MAFU.
(1) SMA elbow male connector (2) N-type elbow male connector
Installation Position
The RF RX signal cable and the RF TX signal cable of the MAFU are connected to the MTRU
to which the COM port on the MAFU is connected.
l One end of the RF RX signal cable connects the RX port on the MTRU and the other end
connects to the RX port on the corresponding MAFU.
l The RF TX signal cable connects the TX port on the MTRU to the TX port on the
corresponding MAFU.
NOTE
The connection of the RF RX signal cable depends on the configuration of the NodeB. If the configuration
is changed, the type of the connection must be changed accordingly.
The NodeB in 2-way RX and 3–4 carrier configuration is also applicable to the 2-way RX and 1–2
carrier configuration . In this case, comparing with the 2-way RX and 1–2 carrier configuration, the
2-way RX and 3–4 carrier configuration used for 1–2 carrier configuration has higher transmission
power and supports TX diversity.
Figure 5-28 shows the wiring between RF ports for each sector. The sector operates in 2-
way RX and 3–4 carrier configuration.
Figure 5-28 The configuration of the connection of RF cables between the MTRU and the
MAFU in 2-way RX and 3–4 carriers
l The configuration of the connection of RF cables between the MTRU and the MAFU in 2-
way RX and 1–2 carriers
In 2-way RX and 1–2 carrier configuration, one MTRU and one MAFU serve one sector.
Each sector can be configured with two adjacent carriers. In this situation, connectors
labeled ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_RXB at the top of the MAFU are connected to the
antenna. TX diversity is not supported in this configuration.
Figure 5-29 shows the wiring between RF ports for one sector. The sector operates in 2-
way RX and 1–2 carrier configuration.
Figure 5-29 The configuration of the connection of RF cables between the MTRU and the
MAFU in 2-way RX and 1–2 carriers
l The configuration of the connection of RF cables between the MTRU and the MAFU in 4-
way RX and 1–2 carriers
In 4-way RX and 1–2 carrier configuration, two MTRUs and two MAFUs serve one sector.
Each sector can be configured with two adjacent carriers. In this situation, connectors
labeled ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_RXB at the top of the MAFU are connected to the
antenna. TX diversity is supported in this configuration.
Figure 5-30 shows the wiring between RF ports for one sector. The sector operates in 4-
way RX and 1–2 carrier configuration.
Figure 5-30 Connection of RF cables between the MTRU and the MAFU in 4-way RX
and 1–2 carrier configuration
NOTE
In the previous three configurations, matched loads must be installed on the ports or connectors that are
not in use on the MAFUs to prevent power leakage.
Structure
Each end of an RF jumper is a DIN male connector, as shown in Figure 5-31.
Installation Position
l One end of the RF jumper is connected to the antenna port at the top of the MAFU.
l The other end of the RF jumper is connected to the feeder of the antenna system.
NOTE
The antenna ports at the top of the MAFU are labeled ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_RXB. The ANT_TX/
RXA port can both receive and transmit signals and the ANT_RXB port can only receive signals. The
connection is determined by the NodeB configuration.
