Chapter 1 Chapter 2 General Description with Specifications Installation and Operation 1-2 General Description The PARM is designed as an integrated subassembly unit mounted in a Radio Module (RM) closed metal housing fitted with a heat sink and connected by RF coaxial and DC connectors. The PARM use a common DC/DC converter for operating power. Up to three PARM can be mounted in one RM. The PARMs basic function is amplifying two 60 MHz band modulated RF input signals (1850-
1910 MHz and 1930-1990 MHz) from the TX driver subassembly, up to the level of the whole transmitter, as defined in GSM 05.05, class 1 (20 watts minimum and 40 watts maximum). The main characteristics of the PARM are:
GMSK compliant 8-PSK compliant The PARM is rated for an average output power of 30 watts with an EDGE signal and 30 watts with a GMSK signal. The electrical specifications are also designed to be in compliance with the requirements of GSM 05.05. 1-3 Specifications Specifications for the PARM are listed and described in table 1-1.
