1.3 Functions
The ODU, a microwave RF unit, has the function of frequency conversion and power
amplification. The ODU determines microwave frequencies of the transmitted and received
signals and is not affected by transmission service types such as the TDM Serivce and
Ethernet service.
Working Principles
Figure 1-5 shows the ODU principles.
The ODU is located between the IDU and the antenna system, implementing the functions of
frequency conversion and amplification of signals. The working principles of the ODU are as
follows:
l Processing of the signals to be transmitted
The multiplexer unit divides the input signals transmitted through the IF cable into the IF
TX signals, O&M uplink signals, and -48 V DC power signals.
The IF TX signals are processed as follows:
a. The IF TX signals are up-converted, filtered, and amplified to RF TX signals. Then,
the RF TX signals are sent to the AMP unit.
b. The AMP unit amplifies the power of the RF TX signals. The power of the RF TX
signals can be controlled by the IDU software.
c. The amplified RF TX signals are sent to the antenna through the duplexer isolation
unit.
The O&M uplink signals are the 5.5 MHz signals modulated in Amplitude Shift Keying
(ASK) mode. The signals are sent to the CTRL unit and demodulated.
The -48 V DC power signals are sent to the PWR unit. The PWR generates secondary
power supplies for each module of the ODU.
l Processing of the received signals
a. The duplexer isolation unit separates the RF input signals from other signals
received by the antenna.
b. The RF signals are amplified through the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) unit.
c. The amplified RF signals are down-converted, filtered, and amplified to IF RX
signals and transmitted to the multiplexer unit.
d. The multiplexer unit combines the IF RX signals and O&M downlink signals and
then transmits the combined signals to the IDU through IF cable.
The CTRL unit performs the ASK modulation on the O&M downlink signals to generate
10 MHz signals. The modulated signals are transmitted to the multiplexer unit. The
CTRL unit provides the RSSI interface and monitors the RX level through the RSSI
circuit.
NOTICE
Use a hybrid coupler adaptive to the XMC ODU if two ODUs are configured with only one antenna installed
in direct mounting mode.
If a single XMC-5D ODU is installed on an antenna in direct mounting mode, a hybrid coupler or an OMT
must be configured.
Figure 1-6 shows the direct mounting mode. In this document, XMC-3/XMC-3W/XMC-3H
ODU is used as an example.
If a single XMC-5D ODU is installed in split mounting mode, a flexible waveguide adapter and an
XMC-5D split mounting bracket must be configured.
Figure 1-7 shows the split mounting of a single-polarized antenna. In this document, XMC-3/
XMC-3W/XMC-3H ODU is used as an example.
1.6 Interfaces
ODU interfaces include the antenna interface, IF interface, RSSI interface, and grounding
screw.
Figure 1-9 shows interfaces on the XMC-2/XMC-2H ODU.
Figure 1-10 shows interfaces on the XMC-3 ODU and XMC-3W ODU.

Frequency Information
l Instead of the upper/lower limits of the central frequency of channels, the upper/lower limits of the
frequency that carries the TX signals are described as follows to indicate the scope of frequencies
supported by the ODU. The lowest central frequency of channels is higher than the lower limit
frequency by half of the channel spacing. The highest central frequency of channels is lower than the
upper limit frequency by half of the channel spacing.
l The T/R spacing values listed in the following tables are default values. In special application
scenarios and within the frequency range covered by the duplexer, the T/R spacing values within
each band are configurable.

l The channel spacings supported by XMC-3 ODU complies with the ETSI standard. In the ETSI
standard, the 18 GHz frequency band is planned based on the interval of 13.75/27.5/55 MHz, which
corresponds to 14/28/56 MHz in most application scenarios.
l The 3.5 MHz bandwidth can be implemented only when the IS3 mode of the intermediate frequency
(IF) board is supports the modulation mode of QPSK and 16 QAM.
l The 112 MHz bandwidth can be implemented only when the IS6/IS8 mode of the intermediate
frequency (IF) board is used in the 32 GHz working frequencies;The 112 MHz bandwidth supports
the modulation format of QPSK, QPSK Strong, 16 QAM, 16 QAM Strong, 32 QAM, 64 QAM, 128
QAM, 256 QAM, 512 QAM, 1024 QAM and 2048 QAM. The 1024 QAM requires the cable length
to be less than 12 m or greater than 30 m. The 2048 QAM supports only AM and does not support
ATPC. This format requires the cable length to be less than 12 m or greater than 60 m.
l When the IS6 mode of the intermediate frequency (IF) board is used in the 28 GHz, 32 GHz and 38
GHz. Channel spacing is 7 MHz, the modulation mode can be QPSK, QPSK Strong, 16 QAM, 16
QAM Strong, 32 QAM, 64 QAM, 128 QAM, 256 QAM, 512 QAM, 512 QAM Light and 1024

QAM, 512 QAM Light, 1024 QAM and 2048 QAM. 2048 QAM supports only the AM.
l The 4096 QAM can be implemented only when the IS6 mode of the intermediate frequency (IF)
board is used and under the normal temperature condition in the 7 GHz, 8 GHz, 11 GHz, 13 GHz,
15 GHz, 18 GHz, 23 GHz, and 26 GHz working frequencies; 4096 QAM supports only Channel
spacing is 28 MHz, 40 MHz and 56 MHz; 4096QAM is supported only when the AM function is
supported. ATPC is not supported.
l The cable length requirements for the 4096 QAM in the 26 GHz working frequencies are as follows:
If the Channel spacing is 28 MHz, the cable length must be less than 30 m or greater than 40 m; If
the Channel spacing is 40 MHz or 56 MHz, the cable length must be less than 30 m or greater than
80 m.

NOTE
l The channel spacings supported by XMC-3W ODU complies with the ETSI standard. In the ETSI
standard, the 18 GHz frequency band is planned based on the interval of 13.75 MHz, 27.5 MHz and
55 MHz, which corresponds to 14 MHz, 28 MHz and 56 MHz in most application scenarios.
l The 3.5 MHz bandwidth can be implemented only when the IS3 mode of the intermediate frequency
(IF) board is supports the modulation mode of QPSK and 16 QAM.
l The 4096 QAM can be implemented only when the IS6 mode of the intermediate frequency (IF)
board is used and under the normal temperature condition; 4096 QAM supports only Channel
spacing is 28 MHz, 40 MHz and 56 MHz; 4096QAM is supported only when the AM function is
supported. ATPC is not supported.
l The cable length requirements for the 4096 QAM in the 7 GHz, 8 GHz, 13 GHz, 15GHz, 18 GHz,
23GHz working frequencies are as follows: If the Channel spacing is 40 MHz or 56 MHz, the cable
length must be less than 30 m or greater than 80 m.
l The XMC-3W ODU supports channel spacings that comply with the FCC standard when working at
the 15 GHz frequency band. In addition, only the ISM6/CSHR board provides this support working
in IS3 mode.

standard, the 18 GHz frequency band is planned based on the interval of 13.75 MHz, 27.5 MHz, 55
MHz and 110 MHz, which corresponds to 14 MHz, 28 MHz, 56 MHz and 112 MHz in most
application scenarios.
l The 3.5 MHz bandwidth can be implemented only when the IS3 mode of the intermediate frequency
(IF) board supports the modulation mode of QPSK and 16 QAM.
l The 112 MHz bandwidth can be implemented only when the IF board works in IS6 mode or IS8
mode at the 18 GHz, 23GHz, 28 GHz or 38 GHz working frequency.
l When the IF board works in IS6 mode at the 15 GHz, 18 GHz or 23 GHz working frequency,
mapping between the channel spacing and supported highest modulation mode is as follows: 7 MHz
– 1024QAM; 14 MHz – 2048QAM; 28 MHz to 56 MHz – 4096QAM; 112 MHz – 2048QAM.
Both 4096QAM and 2048QAM support only the AM and do not support the ATPC.
l When the IF board works in IS6 mode at the 28 GHz or 38 GHz working frequency, mapping
between the channel spacing and supported highest modulation mode is as follows: 7 MHz –
1024QAM; 14 MHz to 112 MHz – 2048QAM. The 2048QAM supports only the AM and does not
support the ATPC.
l When the IF board works in IS8 mode at the 15 GHz, 18 GHz, 23 GHz, 28 GHz or 38 GHz working
frequency, mapping between the channel spacing and supported highest modulation mode is as
follows: 7 MHz – 1024QAM, the 1024QAM@23GHz supports only the AM and do not support
the ATPC; 14 MHz – 2048QAM, the 2048QAM supports only the AM and do not support the
ATPC; 28 MHz to 56 MHz – 8192QAM, the 4096QAM and 8192QAM support only the AM and
do not support the ATPC; 112 MHz – 4096QAM, the 4096QAM supports only the AM and do not
support the ATPC.
l A 4096QAM cable used by an extended ISM6 board works in IS6 mode must be shorter than 30 m
or longer than 80 m when the channel spacing is 40 MHz or 56 MHz.
l A 2048QAM cable used by an extended ISM6 board works in IS6 mode must be shorter than 12 m
or longer than 60 m when the channel spacing is 112 MHz.

NOTE
l The channel spacings supported by XMC-5D ODU comply with the ETSI standard. In the ETSI
standard, the 18 GHz frequency band is planned based on the interval of 13.75 MHz, 27.5 MHz, 55
MHz and 110 MHz, which corresponds to 14 MHz, 28 MHz, 56 MHz and 112 MHz in most
application scenarios.
l When CA is configured for the XMC-5D ODU, the same bandwidth, modulation format, and
transmit power must be configured for the sub-carriers of a single-channel CA. Only the
14/28/40/56 MHz at 13/15 GHz support CA.
l Non-CA configuration: In IS3 mode at 13/15 GHz frequency band, when the channel spacing is 7
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 256QAM. When the channel spacing is 14 MHz, the
maximum modulation format is 1024QAM Light. When the channel spacing is between 28 MHz
and 56 MHz, the maximum modulation format is 2048QAM.
Non-CA configuration: In IS6 mode at 13/15 GHz frequency band, when the channel spacing is 7
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 256QAM. When the channel spacing is 14 MHz, the
maximum modulation format is 2048QAM. When the channel spacing is between 28 MHz and 56
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 4096QAM. The 4096QAM supports only the AM
function, but does not support the ATPC function.
Non-CA configuration: In IS8 mode at 13/15 GHz frequency band, when the channel spacing is 7
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 256QAM. When the channel spacing is 14 MHz, the
maximum modulation format is 2048QAM. When the channel spacing is between 28 MHz and 56
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 4096QAM. The 4096QAM supports only the AM
function, but does not support the ATPC function.
l Non-CA configuration: In IS3 mode at 18 GHz frequency band, when the channel spacing is 7
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 256QAM. When the channel spacing is 14 MHz, the
maximum modulation format is 1024QAM Light. When the channel spacing is between 28 MHz
and 56 MHz, the maximum modulation format is 2048QAM.
Non-CA configuration: In IS6 mode at 18 GHz frequency band, when the channel spacing is 7
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 256QAM. When the channel spacing is 14 MHz, the
maximum modulation format is 2048QAM. When the channel spacing is between 28 MHz and 112
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 2048QAM. The 2048QAM supports only the AM
function, but does not support the ATPC function.
Non-CA configuration: In IS8 mode at 18 GHz frequency band, when the channel spacing is 7
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 256QAM. When the channel spacing is 14/28/40/56/112
MHz, the maximum modulation format is 2048QAM. The 2048QAM supports only the AM
function, but does not support the ATPC function.
l CA configuration: In IS8 mode, when the channel spacing is 14/28/40/56 MHz, the maximum
modulation format is 2048QAM. The 2048QAM supports only the AM function, but does not
support the ATPC function.
l A 4096QAM cable used by an extended ISM6 board works in IS6 mode must be shorter than 30 m
or longer than 80 m when the channel spacing is 40 MHz or 56 MHz.
l A 2048QAM cable used by an extended ISM6 board works in IS6 mode must be shorter than 12 m
or longer than 60 m when the channel spacing is 112 MHz.
l For details about the CA, see the CA User Guide.

A hybrid coupler is short for RF signal combiner/divider. Dual coupler provides the coupler
function for two channels, which are independent of each other. For each channel, the coupler
function is implemented between two XMC-5D ODUs. A dual coupler and a flat
coupler/OMT can be used to implement direct mounting of two XMC-5D ODUs on one
antenna.

4.2 Functions
A dual coupler provides the coupler function for two independent channels. For each channel,
the two channels of RF signals are combined and divided between two XMC-5D ODUs.
The functions and features of dual couplers are as follows (assume that the two XMC-5D
ODUs are ODU A and ODU B):
l In the transmit direction, the RF signal of the RF1 port of ODU A and the RF signal of
the RF1 port of ODU B are combined into one channel of RF signals. At the same time,
the RF signal of the RF2 port of ODU A and the RF signal of the RF2 port of ODU B are
combined into one channel of RF signals. The two channels of signals need to be
combined or adapted and then transmitted to the antenna through a flange adapter, a flat
coupler, or a flat OMT.
l In the receive direction, after the RF signals received from the antenna are adapted or
divided by the flange adapter, flat coupler, or flat OMT, the dual coupler divides these
signals into four channels of RF signals and transmits them to the ODUs.
The waveguide cavity is the main component of the dual coupler. It has three interfaces:
common interface, main tributary interface, and extension tributary interface.
The working principles of one waveguide cavitie on the dual coupler are as follows:
l In the TX direction, the RF signals received from the main tributary interface and
extension tributary interface are combined into one route in the waveguide cavity and
transmitted from the common interface.
l In the RX direction, the RF signals received from the common interface are divided into
two routes in the waveguide cavity and transmitted from the two tributary interfaces.

The orthogonal mode transducer (OMT) is the short name for the polarized hybrid coupler.
The OMT is used when two ODUs with different polarization directions need to be installed
on the same antenna.
l In the transmit direction, the OMT combines two ODU RF signals into one RF signal
which is then transmitted to the antenna.
l In the receive direction, the OMT divides the RF signal received from the antenna into
two RF signals which are then transmitted to the ODUs.
5.3 Interfaces
The OMT has three types of interfaces: antenna interface, V-polarized ODU interface, and H-
polarized ODU interface.
l The antenna interface of the OMT is a round recessed waveguide interface.
l The ODU interface of the OMT is a rectangular protruding waveguide interface.
OMT is short for orthogonal mode transducer. The flat OMT is used to combine the signals of
two interfaces in different polarization directions of an XMC-5D ODU into one channel of
signals. You can use a flat OMT to install an XMC-5D ODU on one antenna in direct
mounting mode.
Flat OMTs can be used with UHP S2D antennas or UHP modular antennas.
l In the transmit direction, the flat OMT performs conversion between a rectangular
waveguide cavity and a round waveguide cavity, so that V/H-polarized waves separately
from two rectangular waveguide cavities can be transmitted in the round waveguide
cavity and then sent to free space by means of an antenna with a round waveguide
interface.
l In the receive direction, the flat OMT receives V/H-polarized waves from the round
waveguide interface of an antenna, separates V-polarized waves from H-polarized
waves, and transmits the separated waves to appropriate rectangular waveguide cavities.
6.3 Interfaces
The flat OMT has three types of interfaces: antenna interface, V-polarized ODU interface, and
H-polarized ODU interface.
l The antenna interface of the flat OMT is a round recessed waveguide interface.
l The ODU interface of the flat OMT is a rectangular protruding waveguide interface.

7 Dual-Polarized Coupler
A dual-polarized coupler helps install four ODUs directly on one dual-polarized antenna.
The OMT combines H-polarized and V-polarized waves into dual-polarized waves in
transmission direct, and splits dual-polarized waves into H-polarized and V-polarized waves
in receive direct, by performing conversion between a rectangular waveguide cavity and a
round waveguide cavity. Either hybrid coupler combines/splits H- or V-polarized signals
using the coupler in the rectangular waveguide. Figure 7-1 illustrates the working principle of
a dual-polarized coupler.
7.3 Interfaces
The Dual Polarized Coupler has three types of interfaces: antenna interface, V-polarized ODU
interface, and H-polarized ODU interface.
l The antenna interface of the Dual Polarized Coupler is a round recessed waveguide
interface.
l The ODU interface of the Dual Polarized Coupler is a rectangular protruding waveguide
interface.
Take waterproof and dustproof measures when the ODU interface is not used.
The XMC-3/XMC-3W/XMC-3H ODU antenna port is of I-shaped and therefore can be interconnected to
either the horizontal or vertical interface.

10 Antennas
The microwave device uses the parabolic antennas to transmit and receive electromagnetic
waves. The antennas described in this document are the parabolic antennas adaptive to the
RTN XMC ODUs.
The UHP S2D antenna is a multifunctional antenna that converts the default single polarized
antenna into a bipolar antenna by modification.
The UHP SDB antenna is a dual-frequency antenna that transmits both traditional band and E-
band signals at the same time. Each frequency band can be single-polarization or dual-
polarization.
The UHP modular antenna is a new type of combinatorial antenna. It can be switched from
traditional band to E-band or from a traditional frequency to another by replacing the feed.
The antenna can be switched between single-polarized antenna and dual-polarized antenna by
replacing parts.
Figure 10-1 Feed boom of the single-polarized antenna with the diameter less than or equal to
1.8 m
Figure 10-2 Feed boom of the single-polarized antenna with the diameter greater than 1.8 m
There are two kinds of UHP SDB antennas. Figure 10-5 and Figure 10-6 show the
appearance of antennas.
10.2 Functions
The microwave antenna is used to convert between the RF signals transmitted from the ODU
and electromagnetic waves radiated in the air.
l In the TX direction, the antenna converts the RF signals transmitted from the ODU into
directional electromagnetic waves and then radiates electromagnetic waves in the air.
l In the RX direction, the antenna receives and assembles electromagnetic waves from the
air, converts electromagnetic waves into the RF signals, and then transmits the RF
signals to the ODU.
This section takes the single-polarized antenna as an example to describe the working principles of
antennas. The dual-polarized antenna has two feed boom interfaces and thus can transmit and receive
electromagnetic waves in the vertical and horizontal polarization directions at the same time. The
working principles of each component of the dual-polarized antenna are similar to the working
principles of each component of the single-polarized antenna.
You can change the polarization direction of the antenna by rotating the feed boom. The
polarization direction of the antenna is the polarization of electromagnetic waves
radiated by the antenna. The polarization direction of electromagnetic waves is the
direction of the electrical field. Figure 10-9 shows the polarization directions supported
by the rectangular waveguide.
The polarization direction of the antenna must be the same as the polarization direction of the
ODU or hybrid coupler. The feed booms of certain types use the round waveguide. In this case,
see installation instructions of the antenna to adjust the polarization direction of the antenna
according to the polarization identifier.
l Reflector
Normally, the reflector of the microwave antenna is a rotatable paraboloid. The reflector
is mainly used for reflecting electromagnetic waves and providing the directive gain.
– In the TX direction, the reflector reflects electromagnetic waves radiated from the
feed boom so that electromagnetic waves are directional.
– In the RX direction, the reflector reflects electromagnetic waves received from a
wider space, and then assembles electromagnetic waves to the output interface of
the feed boom.
l Radome
The radome protects the antenna from damages caused by the wind, rain, and ice.
Electromagnetic waves can be radiated through the radome.
l Shield
The shield is installed on the HP antenna. The shield is mainly used for suppressing the
radiation of the side lobes.
l Mounting bracket
The mounting bracket is used for fixing the antenna onto the pole and for adjusting the
azimuth and elevation slightly. In addition to the mounting bracket, a reinforcing rod is
required for fixing the antenna with a larger diameter. For details, see the instructions for
the antenna.
10.4 Interfaces
The feed boom interface of the single-polarized antenna in direct mounting mode is a
waveguide interface. The feed boom interfaces of the single-polarized antenna in separate
mounting mode and of the dual-polarized antenna are flange interfaces.
Table 10-1 lists the specifications for the feed boom interface of the antenna adaptive to the
XMC ODU.

The IF cable can be categorized into three types: 5D cable, RG-8U cable, and 1/2-inch cable.
l If the distance between the IDU and the ODU is shorter than 120 m, the 5D cable is
used. The 5D cable has an N-type connector at one end connected to the IF interface of
the ODU and a TNC connector at the other end connected to the IF interface of the IDU.
l If the distance between the IDU and the ODU is from 120 m to 180 m, the RG-8U cable
is used. The RG-8U cable has an N-type connector at each end. One end is connected to
the IF interface of the ODU and the other end is connected with the IF jumper of the
IDU.
l If the distance between the IDU and the ODU is from 180 m to 300 m, the 1/2-inch cable
is used. The 1/2-inch cable has an N-type connector at each end. One end is connected to
the IF interface of the ODU and the other end is connected with the IF jumper of the
IDU.
When the ISM8 board works with the XMC-3H ODU, if the distance between the IDU and the ODU is
from 220 m to 300 m, the 1/2-inch common cable is used.

l The XMC-3W ODU is a wide-band ODU. The first columns in Table 13-3 and Table 13-4 list T/R
spacing and sub-bands supported by the same ODU. For example, 154A/161A/168A/196X indicates
that four T/R spacing and sub-bands are supported by one hop of ODU.
l The XMC-3W ODU T/R spacing and sub-band is newly defined. The mapping between T/R spacing
and sub-bands of XMC-3W ODU and XMC-3 ODU is listed in the second and third columns of
Table 13-3 and Table 13-4.
Table 13-3 shows the information about sub-band combination of 7 GHz frequency band.
