The typical structure diagram of three sector antenna system
RRU can be combined with LTE product features installed on the tower,
now in the actual project, when the feeder waiting longer than 19
meters, you can choose to install on the tower RRU, RRU their
respective sectors and antenna installed in the hold with a rod, when
Feeder length of less than 19 meters, they can choose to RRU installed
in the tower, these two cases do not need to use jumpers and lightning
arrester, in addition, most of the RRU installed outdoors, it is generally
no need to install feeder window The antenna is more than a single
dual-polarized directional antenna options installed, so, LTE system RF
master antenna system there are two cases, one for the RRU is installed
in the tower.
2.2 Antenna
2.2.1 Antenna Overview
Base station antenna radiation pattern can be divided in accordance
with omnidirectional antenna and directional antenna. Omnidirectional
antenna at the same level of radiation intensity in all directions are
equal for all the coverage to the community; directional antenna at the
same level with the direction of radiation, energy radiated more
concentrated, applied to fan-shaped area of coverage.
In the antenna horizontal (vertical) pattern, as opposed to the maximum
point of the main lobe 3dB power gain two points down the angle
between the sheets, defined as the level of the antenna (vertical) beam
width, also called the level of some of the literature (vertical) or
horizontal beam width (vertical) lobe angle. Antenna radiation, most of
the energy is concentrated within the beam width, beam width reflects
the size of the antenna radiation concentration. Horizontal
omnidirectional antenna beam width are 360, and the common level of
directional antenna beam width are
20 30 65 90 105 120 180other; vertical antenna beam width is
generally between 380 the base station antenna is used more between 5
18 antenna. Antennas and antenna gain is the horizontal and vertical beam
width is closely related, in general, the smaller the antenna beam width,
the greater the gain of the antenna, so when you set these three
parameters should be considered together.

treatment methods described below joints waterproof.
3.3.7 Main feeder of the deployment, fixed

1
The principle of laying the main feeder
Main feeder walking along the main feeder cabling rack line aircraft,
tower ladder laying the alignment should be no cross.
Before laying the main feeder be sure to understand the main feeder
route, it is best to go in the paper draw lines from the actual, so as to
avoid crossing the main feeder and rework.
The minimum bend radius of the main feeder of not less than 20
times the radius of the main feeder;
For 1 / 2''feeder, the one-time minimum bend radius bend 80 mm,
repeated bending of the minimum bending radius of 160 mm.
For 7 / 8 "feeder, the one-time minimum bend radius bend 90 mm.
Repeated bending of the minimum bend radius 250 mm, not more
than 15 times the number of bending.
For the 5 / 4 "feeder, the one-time minimum bend radius bend 150
mm. Repeated bending of the minimum bend radius 380 mm, not
more than 15 times the number of bending.
Feeder Card (HANGER) Pitch: In principle, the use of 1 / 2 "feeder,

the intervals of 1 meter installed a feeder card 7 / 8" feeder or 5 / 4
"feeder, the intervals of 1.5 meters installed a feeder card ; the local
wind speed is greater than 160 km / h, the appropriate spacing
decreases triple feeder card.
the steps of fixed the main feeder

1 Pre-alignment along the tower or rack about once every 1.5 m (7 /
8 "feeder circumstances) to install the main feeder triple feeder card,
on-site installation, according to the actual circumstances tower, but no
more than between the two feeder card 1.65 m; triple feeder card
installed, the spacing should be as even as possible, in the same
direction. in the same alignment of two rows of ladder feeder if installed
within the card, should take the line card to keep two parallel neatly.
triad shapes, such as feeder card plans
The main feeder from the antenna to the indoor before the preliminary
straightened out.
Fixed from the main feeder down, straighten out the border checkpoint into the
triple edge card feeder, feeder on the tight, after neat card, the main feeder to
26
keep straight and avoid feeder between the two feeder card uplift, not in the
feeder of fixed ends feeder.
4
Main feeder along the wall comes in from the roof, the network operators
should do the outdoor climbing wall alignment ladder, the main feeder line in the ladder
should be used to go triple feeder card holder.
3.3.8 Feeder Grounding card installation

1 The principle of laying the main feeder
Each main feeder communication systems typically to install feeder
lines should be grounded for at least three cards, location are as follows:
at the tower platform, the main feeder to leave the tower at the main
feeder into the RRU before.
Installed in the roof antenna system, antenna bracket, new cabling rack
are required to support rail welded to the building lightning online.
Feeders also need to have three grounding, location are as follows:
feeders out at the antenna pole, to leave the roof at the feeder, before
the feeder into the RRU.
Feeders from the roof along the wall indoor (RRU inside), the line
outdoor cabling rack that provided by network provider must be
grounded. Feeder common ground communications equipment as
shown below:
The scene with the actual installation RRU, RRU grounding principles are
described below:
The general principle: feeder length is less than 5 meters without
grounding; 5 meters -20 meters in one grounding; more than 20 meters
in two grounding. More than 60 meters increase one grounding every
20 m. Scenarios based on the recommended installation RRU (Tower,
simple roof tower, pole installation) standard are divided into the
following feeder ground varies in different situations, in particular:
RRU and antenna in the same metal rod: When the feeder when the
total length of less than 5m, RRU's feeder does not need the grounding,
when the feeder is equal to the total length of more than 5m, the
feeder's outer shield should be connected to the RF port RRU done
28
before ground processing, receives the nearest ground wire leads to the
ground point on the pole
2 RRU on
ground and antenna installed in the tower
Copper outdoor structures usually installed in the feeder outside the

window wall, the best location for the feeder below the window, or roof
rain wall feeder wells. In principle, appropriate to close the window
away from the feeder. Actual installation in the field, the first should be
based on engineering design drawings to determine location of the
outdoor installation of copper, and then use expansion bolts installed in
the outdoor copper wall.
To network and
outdoor ground copper bars normally are responsible for the installation
by the network provider.

Ground card installation steps

1
Ready tools: Cutter, screwdriver, wrench and needle nose pliers and
so on.
2
Select the appropriate location of the grounding card installed, in
accordance with the grounded card size cut 1 / 2 "cable feed the skin.
3
Card feeder ground will lead to net direction of ground wire, not reverse.
Grounding line and the angle between the main feeder of not more than 15
degrees is appropriate, non-folding back phenomenon occurs.
Antenna system when installed in the tower, the grounding wire should
be along the tower card down.
Antenna system installed on the roof, the ground hard ground floor
should be toward the direction where the lightning network connection.
4 And the use of copper ground wire feeder outer conductor clamping retainer, so
that copper ground clamps and feeder outer conductor a good slot.
5 Cards on the ground and feeder connections to waterproof.
6 Grounding the card can be connected to ground or rooftop outside the main
body of the tower alignment rack (frame and the building alignment lightning
network connection), in the joints within a radius of about 13 mm of paint and
30
oxides to be removed cleanly and Antioxidant cream coated with a clean area, to
ensure good electrical contact. Connected, the last and then cover a layer of anti
rust paint.
7 Ground in front of the main feeder burglary, receiving the card
grounding outside rafts. (Usually installed in outdoor ground feeder
ranked just below the window on the wall or roof rain wall feeder wells.
In principle, appropriate to close the window away from the feeder.)
3.3.9 Main feeder penetration room

In the LTE system will generally be installed in the interior of the case RRU little
room feeder penetration is rarely the case, described below is for general
reference:
1 The notes of main feeder penetration room
the following picture drawn the ordinary situation of feeder into

equipment room, feeder into the room, to ensure that rain water into the
engine room feeders will not be necessary to be done to drip bend.
Feeder by feeder window into the room, indoor and outdoor part of
the frame must have cabling rack.
2 The installation steps of main feeder into the equipment room

1 Loosen the fastening feeder hose clamps on the window to the appropriate
location, disconnect the feeder holes need to wear closures.
2 feeder will be pulled into the equipment room: feeders from the outside into the
interior support rail alignment rack, you need two people with indoor and
outdoor; to avoid damage the equipment when the main feeder into the room
interior equipment, to avoid undue force during the installation process, leaving
the external feeder damaged. Feeder screw firmly fixed in place pull hose
clamps.
3 Accurate measurement, were cut with a saw cut on the feeder.

Before cut the feeder, to ensure temporary tags complete, after the cut
pieces still have tags on the feeder. It is very important, otherwise likely
to cause confusion.
Determine the cut position
The cut position should be based on the installation location of RRU,

feeder wiring bend radius requirements and aesthetic requirements of
selected feeder cutting position. After accurate reduction of feeder,
another joint production of feeder, feeder after the first production, for
the antenna system VSWR test.

3.4 Test VSWR

After installation, must verify the VSWR of every feeder, the limit of VSWR is 1.5,
if the value more than 1.5, we should check the RF system:
1 Check the connector of feeder;
2 Check the antenna
3 Check the interface of feeder, make sure without any damage
and check the bending radius suit the request or not.
3.5 Waterproof connector

The steps of 1/2jumper and feeder connection are as follow:
1 Jumper with the main feeder to the antenna connector and tighten the
connection.
2 Waterproof on the joints were sealed.
1 Connector connected, in accordance with the joint direction of tightening the
connector half-way overlapping layer of electrical insulation tape on the
winding, winding length of the tail beyond the joint 10 mm, winding should be
subjected to sufficient tension.
2 When winding waterproof self-adhesive tape, start at the lower
joint connecting place to start, filled with a small amount of lowlying part of the part.
3
Winding process need to be stretched to twice the length of

adhesive tape, each joint using duct tape 60cm long, requiring
winding layers. Direction and the feed head wound to be
tightened in the same direction, makes the connection to avoid
the winding course of the first loose feed.
