2. Introduction Page 14 User’s Manual for ION®-U 2. Introduction 2.1. Purpose Mobile telephone and public safety systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area to carry voice and data traffic. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distributed antenna system (DAS). Office buildings, sports arenas, college campuses, industrial parks, and other areas of high demand require the specialized capacity boost that an optical DAS can provide to meet increasing customer demands for voice and data. An optical DAS contains optical Master Units and a sufficient number of Remote Units to provide the necessary coverage. The number of the Remote Units depends on the coverage requirements of the DAS. Extension Units can be connected to Remote Units to provide coverage for further bands. The Remote Units are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. The Master Unit is the connection to the Base Transceiver Stations. The configuration of a Master Unit depends on the number of the Remote Units and the frequency range. 2.2. ION-U High Power Remote and Extension Units The ION-U is an optical fiber based DAS system that efficiently takes the outputs of multiple Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) sectors and converts those RF signals to optical to send them over fiber optic cables to Remote Units to provide coverage in indoor and outdoor locations. The system supports both low power and high power Remote Units and SISO and MIMO operation. The ION-U EU H 7P/80-85P/17(E)P/19P is a multi-band, multi-operator Extension Unit used in conjunction with a Remote Unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports up to five frequency bands simultaneously (700 MHz, 800/850 MHz, and 1900 MHz), providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. It has been specifically tested and optimized for GMSK, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS, HSPA+, LTE, and OFDM modulations. Furthermore it is provisioned for future modulation scheme evolutions. These Remote and Extension Units feature independent downlink and uplink gain adjustments and an integrated channel power detector for in-band spectrum and PIM analysis and end-to-end auto leveling.
