Purpose Mobile telephone and public safety systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area to carry voice and data traffic. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distributed antenna system (DAS). Office buildings, sports arenas, college campuses, industrial parks, and other areas of high demand require the specialized capacity boost that an optical DAS can provide to meet increasing customer demands for voice and data. An optical DAS contains optical Master Units and a sufficient number of Remote Units to provide the necessary coverage. The number of the Remote Units depends on the coverage requirements of the DAS. The Remote Units are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. The Master Unit is the connection to the Base Transceiver Stations. The configuration of a Master Unit depends on the number of the Remote Units and the frequency range. RF signals are transported to and from the Remote Units via optical fibers. The ION-U system includes high power and low power Remote Units designed to meet the specific requirements of a given DAS. An ION-U Master Unit can support both high power and low power RUs simultaneously. 2.2. ION-U Low Power Remote/Extension Units The ION-U Low Power Remote Units are scalable and integrated with up to:
5-band (Cell700, LMR800, Cell850, PCS1900, AWS 1700/2100) or 6-band with additional Extension Unit (WCS2300 MHz) SISO capability. Two RUs can be operated as a pair for MIMO operation. These units are compatible with analog, GSM, EDGE, IS-95, CDMA2000, EVDO, W-CDMA, HSDPA, LTE and iDEN modulation standards. These Remote Units feature independent downlink and uplink gain adjustments and an integrated channel power detector for in-band spectrum and PIM analysis and end-to-end auto leveling.

SISO and MIMO Operation The architecture of the ION-U low power supports both SISO and MIMO operation. MIMO operation is achieved by pairing two RUs. The following figures show views of a single Remote Unit for SISO applications and two Remote Units paired for MIMO applications. figure 3-1 Remote Unit, SISO figure 3-2 Remote Unit, MIMO two units paired The ION-U EU L 23/23 Extension unit with integrated antenna port combiner together with ION-U L 7/80-85/17P/19P allows for further options.

General Read and observe chapter 1.2 Health and Safety. Note:
The Extension Unit does not require preventative maintenance measures. Maintenance of the ION-U Low Power units should be performed by replacing only components that are described in this chapter. In order to maintain the warranty, avoid unintentional damage to the seals on the modules. The spare parts list includes only units that can be replaced in the field without tuning or soldering work. Please contact your CommScope sales representative or DCCS Technical Support for a current ION-U LP EU parts list. Note: When sending back the unit, use appropriate packaging. Use of the Note:
Note:
original packaging for shipping the unit is strongly recommended. Defective parts should only be replaced by original parts from the supplier. All service work performed inside the housing is performed at the users own risk. Label any unlabelled cables before disconnecting them to ensure correct reconnection. For most maintenance procedures, appropriate tools are required to ensure correct handling. All of these tools can be ordered from the supplier. Note: All unit screws have a right-hand thread, and are tightened by turning the screws clockwise and loosened by turning them counter-clockwise with an appropriate tool. Due to the design of the Extension Unit, the power supply is the only component that should be replaced in the field. Please contact the supplier for replacement of any other components.
