Description

2 Overview

2.1 Overview of Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE RF Module

(FXxx)
The Flexi Multiradio Radio Frequency Module (FXxx) or RF Module, is a 3-branch multi-
carrier, multi-standard radio transceiver module. The module consists of three indepen-
dent branches, capable of transmitting and receiving signals of multiple radio technolo-
gies concurrently:
• up to 6 GSM carriers with 400 KHz minimum carrier separation
• up to 4 WCDMA carriers with 4.6 MHz minimum carrier separation
• multi-carrier LTE signal with 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, and 20 MHz
carrier bandwidth
• multi RAT operation with combination of GSM, WCDMA, and LTE
Each branch consists of a transmitter, two receiver chains, and front end software
tunable filters (STuF). FXxx is a 3U high module with an integrated, replaceable 3-fan
assembly for module cooling. The supported functions are:
• chaining up to three RF Modules with OBSAI RP3_01
• 2-way receive diversity in the receiver chains
• integrated antenna line supervision
• MHA, EGPRS2, and VAMOS support
• digital and control circuitry, optical interface, DC/DC power conversion, and other
necessary functionalities
Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE modules are equipped with an integrated air guide
plate providing full thermal compliance without casings. This allows installation of the
modules without casings in Flexi cabinets and enclosed 19" racks. Casings and covers
are recommended in standalone 19" racks (no cabinet) for safety reasons. Casings are
not part of the FXxx delivery package. If the configuration requires casings, Flexi BTS
Module Casing (EMHA) kits must be ordered.
The Flexi Multiradio RF Module variants are:

Version Description
FXDA GSM 900 full band (E-GSM)
FXDJ GSM 900 J-band (P-GSM for CDMA co-siting)
FXEA GSM 1800 full band
FXCA GSM 850 full band
FXFA GSM 1900 full band

Table 1 Flexi Multiradio RF Module variants

g The FXFA and FXCA variants have extra QMA connectors for E911 positioning
systems.

2.2 Software tunable filters (STuF)

STuF is a mechanical filter which is tuned with a small step motor, controlled automati-
cally by the BTS software. There is one STuF on each branch of the RF Module. STuF
has specific bandwidth on both RX and TX bands. The STuF tuning range covers the
whole band, therefore a tuning window can be allocated anywhere within the band.
When STuF is tuned, both RX and TX are tuned at the same time as RX and TX sides
are mechanically coupled together. STuF is tuned only when the carrier allocation
requires this. STuF center frequency is determined from TX & RX main frequency
requests and also from diversity frequency requests when diversity sharing is used
between the branches.

2.3 Digital predistortion (DAPD)

The reference signal for digital predistortion and RF power control is provided by predis-
tortion RX path (PDRX). The power amplifier delivers the coupled and attenuated TX
signal to the PDRX. For digital pre-distortion and RF power control, this signal is atten-

Description

7 RF Module (FXxx) LED indications

The Flexi Multiradio RF Module (FXxx) has two tricolour LEDs on the front panel to
indicate the operational status of the module and all fault conditions during operation. A
blinking red LED does not always require removing the module. See the LED status indi-
cations tables for information of LED status.
The Flexi Multiradio RF Module LEDs are:
• Module Status - indicates the status of the RF Module core functional block
• Fan/TX Status - indicates the fan and TX status
See Figure 1 RF Module (FXxx) front panel connectors and labels for position of the
LEDs on the RF Module.
f A Red, blinking LED does not necessarily mean hardware failure. Always perform
troubleshooting before replacing the module.

Description

9 Appendix A: RF Module connector pin

assignments

9.1 EAC connector pin assignments

The EAC connector on the RF module is an RJ45 connector with 4 input lines. It is typ-
ically used for monitoring local alarms when the RF Module is located far away from the
System Module. The EAC connector can also be used for monitoring FPMA or FPDA
alarms when these modules are used for supplying power to the remote RF Module. The
EAC alarm lines are configured with the 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager during commission-
ing. They cannot be configured with the BSC. The cable connected to the EAC connec-
tor is not auto-detected.
Alarms are monitored by the RF Module and reported to the System Module via the
optical cable. Alarm lines must be grounded to test the alarms (if configured as “Closed
when active”).
