iii 1 . U S U M O D U L E S USU USER MANUAL Overview Theory Of Operation The USU RF to Fiber Modules provide a single-band link from a Head-End Distribution center to multiple local antennae. RF Signals are distributed over a pair of Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Distribution Lines to each USU Remote. Each Head-End Module can interface to multiple Remote Modules, the number depending upon the Head-End Model. The Head-End Modules do not transmit directly out into the air. Note that the Remote Module Fiber-Optic I/O's are band specific, but the Head-End Fiber-Optic I/O's are not; the Head-End I/O's may be used for any band.

The LNKFIB-H04 is identical, but with one Bank of 4 removed. Each of the Groups of four consists of a single RF Input feeding a single Laser Transmitter split optically to four Fiber-Optic Outputs. The four matching Fiber-Optic Inputs each go to their own Photodiode Receiver, followed by a 0 to -15dB digitally controlled attenuator providing Uplink Gain Control. The RF signals from the four digital attenuators are combined into a single RF Output. The Group-of-Four RF Input and Output combining inside the Module alleviates the need for external combining / splitting.

For the CAN Network connections please refer to DCM000000103. Fiber-Optic Connections
All Fiber-Optic Cabling must use 9/125 or similar Single-Mode (yellow jacketed) high-quality cable. This cable should typically have less than 0.5 dBo (optical dB) insertion loss per kilometer.
From the cable manufacturer's specification, minimum bend radius must be observed.
Most Kaval products use SC/APC connectors. Note that the "APC" is critical. These are angle-polished connectors and are required to reduce reflections.
Fiber-Optic Patchcords should be avoided; Fusion-Splices are preferred to reduce reflections.
Fiber-Optic Connectors, both on cables and equipment, should always have their dust caps in place when not in use. The connector tips must be kept clean and scratch free, and should always be cleaned properly before being connected.
Optical Reflections back into laser diodes cause a disturbance in the lasers gain cavity creating noise and distortion. An OTDR or other Fiber-
Optic Instruments should be used to check optical reflections. Fiber-Optic Return Loss should be less than -50 dBo.
There is a 2 to 1 Relationship between optical loss and RF loss. One dBo
(optical dB) of optical loss corresponds to 2 dB of RF loss. Power for the Remote Module The US Remote Module may be powered by any source of negative ground
+28VDC power capable of delivering 1 Ampere. This includes the optional single US Remote Module US-PS01 Power Supply... Battery Backup of Remote Module If the USU Remote Module is being used without a Battery it must be configured to NOT use a battery. Without a battery the USU will shut down or reset with any disruption to the AC power. When power is re-established the system will restart automatically. External batteries may be connected using the CAB000000055 Battery Cable. The USU has a built-in battery charger that will automatically recharge the attached battery.

Carrier De-Rating DCM000000104 All signals that fall within a given Pass-Band range will share power amongst them. A multiple channel effect is Intermodulation - signals produced from non-linear effects between the intended channel signals. This intermodulation may cause interference to receiving equipment. In order to minimize Intermodulation signals, Power de-rating must be applied. In the USA there are FCC Intermodulation Specifications published in the EIA Standard PN2009. Further de-rating is also required to maintain the integrity of complex digital communications signals. The Tables below gives the maximum per channel Output Levels allowed as a function of the number of channels. Note that depending on the actual input levels, the gain may need to be reduced to comply with the above regulations. The figures shown are to the nearest dB. iDEN / Cellular / Paging

Printed: 03.05.21,10:40 Revision Date:5/21/03 15 USU USER MANUAL Gain Adjustments Signal Level Adjustments DCM000000104 Gain Adjustment is necessary to compensate for the variations in the Fiber-Optic components of the Head-End and Remote Modules. This must be done after Modules are deployed in a System, and anytime a Module is replaced. The adjustments are on an individual RF Path basis, and each path is adjustable downwards in 1dB steps up to -15dB. It is recommended that these adjustments be performed with the aid of a Signal Generator and Spectrum Analyzer. Uplink Gain:
The Uplink Gain is adjusted at the Head-End Module on an individual RF path basis. Please refer to the Head-End DIGATTN Commands in the Configuration and PC Commands section. All DIGATTN Values are set to 0 (Maximum RF Gain). While monitoring the RF gain via measurements, the individual gain paths are adjusted downwards with the DIGATTN command to meet the Specified Gain. This will optimize / balance both gain and noise. Downlink Gain:
The Downlink Gain is adjusted at the Remote Module an individual RF path basis. Please refer to the Remote DIGATTN Commands in the Configuration and PC Commands section. All DIGATTN Values are set to 0 (Maximum RF Gain). While monitoring the RF gain via measurements, the individual gain paths are adjusted downwards with the DIGATTN command to meet the Specified Gain. This will optimize / balance both gain and noise. Signal Level Adjustment is necessary to ensure that the Downlink RF Carriers transmitted via the Remote Modules are not generating undesired intermodulation products, nor are they being distorted beyond use. Refer to the earlier section on Remote Module Per-Carrier De-Rating. It is recommended that these adjustments be performed with the aid of a Signal Generator and Spectrum Analyzer, and that they be done AFTER the Gain Adjustments. Adjust the Downlink Interface Amplifiers and/or attenuators between the Base Station (see the Typical Application drawing) to achieve the specified de-rated per-
carrier level. Uplink Signals should be monitored as they feed into the Base Station - this is usually a site specific requirement.
