C-QPSK is an O-QPSK (offset QPSK) modulated signal where the signal has
been given a constant envelope. This modulation technique is unique as it
combines the properties of constant envelope with high interference
discrimination, and is optimized for high frequency efficiency.

Note that the occupied bandwidth is not the same as channel spacing. The

related to some kind of acceptable interference resistivity of the equipment.
ITU and ETSI give the requirements for interference resistivity and MINI-LINK

2.36 Tx - Rx separation
The isolation is defined as the attenuation between point A and point B in the
figure above. The attenuation is the sum of the gain of the antenna sidelobes
in the actual directions plus the attenuation due to propagation.
fsep is defined as the distance between the center frequency of the interfering
Tx signal and the center frequency of the nearest possible Rx channel in the
actual user band.
If there are more than one interfering signal, the isolation shall be icreased to
keep the power sum of the interfering signals constant.
Two RAU:s connected to the same antenna via a power splitter must have the
same index. This is a special case of 2.36 since the sum of the isolation in the
Branching Units of the RAU:s and the Power Splitter is > 75 dB.
The image frequency is defined as the frequency located 2*fIF1 relative to the
actual receive frequency. fIF1 is the frequency of the first IF in the receiver.

Typical receiver base band filter 2x2 Mbit/s. Y-axis (dB) X-axis (Hz)
There are different receiver base band filters for the different bit rates (2x2, 8,
2x8, 34+2 Mbit/s). The shape of the filters is the same but the bandwidth is
different. If the composite bit rate is higher the filter will be wider.
The bandwidth of the base band filter for the other bit rates can be calculated
based on the 2x2 Mbit/s filter.
The bandwidth depends on the composite bit rate of the MMU.
For instance this means that the base band filter for 2x8 Mbit/s is 3,8958
times wider than the 2x2 Mbit/s filter but with the same shape.

Issue1, October 1989. The Bellcor dispersive fade margin FdB is also

The input to the evaluation is the measurement of bit errors on the traffic
signal by using eight parallel independent and interleaved parity check
counters. The parity check is made on blocks, 100 to 200 bits long. The
number of parity errors is accumulated until read from supervisory circuitry.
The number of errored bits measured as described above are read once
every 4 ms. This number is converted to Errored Blocks (EB) by adding one
bit to the number of errored bits and then divided by 2 and using the integer
value of the result. Assuming even distribution of errors, this gives the
maximum number of errored blocks with block lengths etc. according to the
table below.
QAM
The result from the division is truncated to 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 for 2, 2x2, 8, 2x8
and 34+2 Mbit/s respectively, ensuring that the number of errored blocks (EB)
does not exceed the number of blocks.

The standard antenna mounting kit (for 0.3m and 0.6m antennas) consists of
two rigid, extruded aluminum profiles connected with two stainless steel
screws along the azimuth axis. The profiles are black anodized and have
through holes and holes with thread inserts to provide adjustment of the
antenna in azimuth and elevation.
All screws and nuts for connection and adjustment are in stainless steel.
NORD-LOCK washers are used to secure the screws.

The elevation can be adjusted by +15 degrees. The azimuth can be changed
through 0-360 degrees with fine adjustment of +40 degrees.
7 Interconnection IDU-ODU
7.1 Interconnection Cable
One single coaxial cable is used for interconnection between the Modem Unit
and Radio Unit. Three different cables are available:

7.2 IF frequencies
MINI-LINK E features two different IF frequencies, 140 MHz for the receiver
and 350 MHz for the transmitter.

A Netman server failure does not affect the services provided by the MINI-
LINK network, i.e. transparent transmission of nxE1. Only the supervision of
network status is affected. Should a MINI-LINK equipment failure occur while
Netman is out of order, this will still be indicated indirectly by higher-level
network applications (e.g. BSC) that use the transmission services provided
by the MINI-LINK network. Hence, a Netman server failure is not in any way
critical to the end-user services provided by the network operator.
MINI-LINK Netman does not support hot stand-by. Ericsson recommends the
use of high-availability servers that offer mirrored disks and memory
protection. For large MINI-LINK networks we recommend a cold stand-by
configuration with one redundant server running MINI-LINK Netman and an
updated database, preferably in a separate building. In this case it is
important that back-up procedures are performed regularly. Note that a
changeover to the stand-by server involves some manual reconfiguration of
e.g. IP addresses.

Surcharge:
No internal fuses, over-current protection or surcharge protection in the
Modem Unit. However external surcharge protection is available by over-
current tripped electronically fuses (6A) when using the a DDU ( See MINI-
LINK Product Catalog).
The Radio Unit is DC supplied from the Modem Unit by the coaxial cable. This
Output DC Power port from the Modem Unit has non-latched over-current
limiting and short-circuit protection.

Where is the failure rate for the unit and t is the time period.
MTBF = 1/
The individual failure rates for all components in a sub unit are summed. This
means that all components are considered to be in a serial configuration.
The sum of the failure rates gives the failure rate for the sub unit.
The inverse of the failure rate for the sub unit gives the MTBF.

Typical Tx spectra for different transmission rates are given below. The 0 dB
level relates to the peak of the modulated spectrum disregarding residual
carrier. The spectrum is measured with the following analyzer settings:
IF bandwidth 100 kHz for 34+2 Mbit/s, 30 kHz at lower traffic rates
video bandwidth is 300 Hz, except for 12 and 22 where it is 100 Hz
