2. Introduction Page 14 M0200A8C_uc_ION-U_H_7P_80-85P_17P_19P User’s Manual for ION®-U 2. Introduction 2.1. Purpose Mobile telephone 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. 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. RF signals are transported to and from the Remote Units via optical fibers. 2.2. ION-U High Power Remote 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 remotes units and SISO and MIMO operation. The ION-U H 7P/80-85P/17P/19P is a multi-band, multi-operator Remote Unit used in conjunction with a Master Unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports up to five frequency bands simultaneously (700 MHz, 800/850 MHz, 1700/2100 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 other OFDM modulations. Furthermore it is provisioned for future modulation scheme evolutions. These Remote 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.
3. Functional Description M0200A8C_uc_ION-U_H_7P_80-85P_17P_19P User’s Manual for ION®-U Page 15 The unit utilizes a single fiber to support multiple bands in both the uplink and downlink directions. WDM (Wave Division Multiplex) filters are integrated in the optical modules. For the UL, a wavelength within 1546 nm – 1550 nm is used. For the DL, a wavelength of 1310 ±10 nm is used. The maximum optical output power for the UL and DL is 6.7 mW. 3. Functional Description figure 3-1 ION-U High Power RU block diagram In the Downlink (DL) path, the Remote Unit provides: • Optical to RF conversion of the input optical signal • Automatic Gain Control (AGC) of each converted signal to compensate for optical losses • RF amplification of the converted RF signal for transmission while maintaining an excellent signal-to-noise ratio • RF filtering to reject spurious emissions In the Uplink (UL) path, the Remote Unit provides: • RF amplification to boost the signals received by the antennas to maintain an excellent signal-to-noise ratio • RF filtering to reject spurious emissions • Automatic Level Control (ALC) to adjust the RF signal level to meet blocking requirements • RF-to-optical conversion of the signal, which is conveyed to the optical port The Remote Unit can be paired with further EUs (Extension Unit) to provide additional bands. oeoeWDM DLULUL/DL700 MHz800-850 MHz1900 MHzUL AmpFrom / ToMobile StationFrom / ToMaster Unit LC/APC 8°Optical Transceiver (OTRx)Power Amplifier Duplexer Unit4.3-10 ConnectorFrom / ToExtension Unit2100 MHzUL AmpDiplexer Unit

Optical-fiber cable connection Main optical system parameters: Fiber: • Single mode fiber, type is E9/125 µm • Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm / <0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm • Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm / <18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm • Fiber-cable connectors LC/APC8° • The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must have a sufficient length. Protection for the optical fibers must be provided where the fibers feed into the units. • The system attenuation of the optical fibers, including the connectors, must not exceed 10 dB for optimal performance. Up to 20 dB optical loss can be compensated by the system, but with impact on the performance. System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This can be achieved by measuring attenuation and reflection with an appropriate measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of <0.4 dB (measured to a reference plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fiber, at the input and output of the device which has to be measured. Fiber-System Installation: Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (LC/APC8°) as the connectors used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Notice: Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors. Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care: Ø Remove fiber-optic protective caps. Ø Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (<4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission. Ø Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fiber-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. Use a fiber end-face inspection tool to scan both, the class fiber and its surrounding area. Ø Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches.
4. Commissioning Page 40 M0200A8C_uc_ION-U_H_7P_80-85P_17P_19P User’s Manual for ION®-U Ø Connect the fiber-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot. Ø Do not use any index-matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors. Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field. Notice: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fiber-optic cables - use the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fiber-optic connectors not in use. Cleaning Procedure for Fiber-Optical Components: Any contamination in the fiber connection results in additional optical transmission loss which could cause whole system failure. It is thus recommended that every fiber connector be inspected and cleaned prior to mating. The goal is to eliminate any dust or contamination and to provide a clean environment for the fiber-optic connection. When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully: Caution: Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the beam; do not view it directly or with optical instruments. 1. Turn off the ION system (laser sources) before you inspect fiber connectors. 2. Check the connectors or adapters with a fiberscope before cleaning. 3. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a lint-free wipe (dry cleaning). 4. Inspect the connector. 5. If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique. 6. Inspect the connector. 7. If the connector is still dirty, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol (wet cleaning) followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on the end face. 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until end face is clean. Note: For a more detailed description, please refer to: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml
