4.1.4.2.3.1.4 UPEU
The Universal Power and Environment Interface Unit (UPEU) for the BBU3900 converts -48 V DC or +24
V DC power into +12 V DC.

Panel

The UPEU is classified into three types: Universal Power and Environment Interface Unit Type A
(UPEUa), Universal Power and Environment Interface Unit Type B (UPEUb), and Universal Power and
Environment Interface Unit Type C (UPEUc). The UPEUa and UPEUc convert -48 V DC power into +12 V
DC, and the UPEUb converts +24 V DC power into +12 V DC. Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 show the
panels of the UPEUa, UPEUb, and UPEUc, respectively.

Figure 2 UPEUb panel

(1) BBU power switch (2) 7W2 connector

Figure 3 UPEUc panel

NOTE:
The UPEUc has a silkscreen "UPEUc" indicating its board type on it, whereas the UPEUa and UPEUb do
not have such a silkscreen indicating their board types. The UPEUa and UPEUb, however, can be
distinguished by the silkscreens "-48 V" and "+24 V" on them.

Functions

The UPEU performs the following functions:

 Converts -48 V DC or +24 V DC power into +12 V DC, which is the operating voltage of the
boards.

 Provides two ports with each transmitting one RS485 signal and two ports with each transmitting
four Boolean signals. The Boolean signals can only be dry contact or Open Collector (OC) signals.

Table 1 describes the specifications of the UPEU.

Table 1 Specifications of the UPEU

Board Output Power Backup Mode

UPEUa The output power of a UPEUa is 1+1 backup

300 W.
Table 1 Specifications of the UPEU

Board Output Power Backup Mode

UPEUc The output power of a UPEUc is 1+1 backup

360 W, and the output power of
two UPEUc boards is 650 W.

UPEUa+UPEUc The total output power of a -

UPEUa and a UPEUc is 360 W.

NOTE:
After the UPEUc is replaced by the UPEUa, the base station power consumption data monitored by the
network management system will change. The power consumption data does not only depend on the
output power but also on the data collection method. The UPEUc and UPEUa use different methods for
power consumption data collection. Therefore, the decrease in the power consumption shown in the
network management system after the UPEUc is replaced by the UPEUa does not necessarily reflect the
actual decrease of power consumption.

Indicator

The UPEU has one indicator, which indicates the operating status of the UPEU. Table 2 describes the
indicator.

4.1.4.2.3.2 DRFU
Double radio frequency unit (DRFU) is an RF unit of GSM radio filter and applies to GSM only scenario.

Panel

Figure 1 shows the DRFU panel.

Figure 1 DRFU panel

Function
The DRFU performs modulation, demodulation, data processing, and combining and dividing for
baseband signals and radio frequency (RF) signals.

In addition, the DRFU provides the following functions:

 Converts the direct frequency conversion technology, modulates the baseband signals for the
GSM TX band. After filtering and amplification, the baseband signals are transmitted to the antenna
system through the duplexer.

 Receives uplink RF signals from the antenna system and then down-converts the received
signals to intermediate frequency (IF) signals. After amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, digital
down-conversion, matched filtering, automatic gain control (AGC), the IF signals are sent to a
baseband unit (BBU) for further processing.

 Performs power control.

 Performs reverse power detection.

 Synthesizes frequencies and tests loops.

 Generates the common public radio interface (CPRI) clock, recovers the CPRI clock from loss of
synchronization, and detects alarms.

A DRFU consists of a high-speed interface unit, signal processing unit, power amplifier, and dual-
duplexer. Figure 2 shows the logical structure of the DRFU.

 Provides Voltage Standing Wave Ration (VSWR) detection.

 Supplies power to the tower mounted amplifier (TMA) and controls the remote electrical tilt (RET)
antenna.

 Controls Digital Predistortion (DPD) based on feedback signals.
