1 System Overview
1.1 Summary DMW-P digital microwave communication system (hereinafter referred to as DMW-P system) is developed by our own R & D, in full compliance with the relevant recommendations of ITU-T, national standards, as well as the latest generation of industry-standards for digital microwave communication system products. The transmission capacity of the equipment is 4 × E1, which is widely used in the mobile communications field. Usually, a DMW-P system terminal consists of an indoor unit (IDU), an outdoor unit (ODU), an antenna and an IF cable for connecting IDU and ODU. DMW-P systems in a network can be managed through a network element management system (EMS). By running the server program, all the network units of the microwave system can be conveniently installed, monitored and maintained within its operations limits. There are two sub-series system of DMW-P system called 2101 system with LCD option (refer to chapter 7 for LCD) and DMW-P system without LCD option.

1.2 System Structure
The DMW-P digital microwave communication system terminal is composed of the IDU, the ODU, the antenna and the connecting cable between IDU and ODU.
Figure1-1 IDU
1.3 System principle
The DMW-P digital microwave communication system is composed of the IDU, the ODU, the antenna and the connecting cable between IDU and ODU.
The ODU is connected to the IDU through the IF cable. The power supply power, bidirectional IF signal, the control signal and the monitor signal are carried by the cable.
The DMW-P system can operate in the 7GHz ~23GHz microwave band with IDU shared between these frequencies. The operating frequency depends on the modules within the ODU, the different working frequency bands duplex filters, antennas and couplers. Network management software is suitable for all-band digital microwave equipment. The 10/100BASE-T EMS interface and auxiliary service channel are built into the IDU. After being processed, the main service data, and auxiliary data are sent to the QPSK modulator, the control and monitor signal are sent to the OOK modulator, the modulated signals and the power supply voltage are then multiplexed onto the IF cable for transmission to the ODU. After separating out the DC voltage, the transmitting module of ODU converts the IF signal to the microwave signal for transmitting through the antenna. After being received by the antenna ,the microwave signal will go through signal filtering, amplification, frequency down conversion and AGC processing; then the IF signal will be sent to the IDU for de-multiplexing and processing.
The main service data and auxiliary data will be separated in the QPSK demodulator of the IDU.
1.4 Features
The features of IDU are as described below: Universal product design: all ODU products in the frequency range from of 15GHz are based on the
same design architecture sharing same or similar IDUs Flexible interfaces: provided for multi-services connection The transmission bandwidth and capacity can be adjusted by software Use concatenation code technology (non-systematic convolution code, interleaving, RS code)and
Forward Error Correction Technology It can be configured as unprotected (1 +0) mode or hot standby (1 +1) mode with hitless switching Installation is convenient; it only needs a cable to connect the indoor and the outdoor units. The
maximum distance is 300m with RG8/U cable Powerful monitoring capabilities, a comprehensive status display and loop test functions The SNMP system is simple but effective and is suitable for a variety of network topologies. The number
of NEs being managed can be up to 255. Compact design, small size, suitable for various environment including harsh environment

2.3 IDU principle
Figure 2-3 IDU principle
Black real line: service data stream Red dashed: CPU configuration monitor and control signal The transmission capability of IDU is 4E1. The IDU consists of the service interface circuit, the auxiliary service circuit, the modulation module, Demodulation module, power supply, CPU and microwave frame MUX and DEMUX module. The main service data coming from the E1 interface circuit will be mixed with the EOW signal, auxiliary
15
signal, CPU EMS signal etc, and then they will be sent to the microwave frame MUX module. After Muxing the microwave frame signal, the QPSK modulation module will generate a 310MHz signal, which will be sent to ODU through the diplexer. The 70MHz IF signal coming from ODU will be sent to the demodulation module also through the diplexer. The microwave frame will be separated into the EOW signal, auxiliary data signal, CPU EMS signal and the main service data.

3.4 ODU principle
Figure 3-4 ODU principle diagram
ODU works in a full-duplex transceiver mode.
23
When the signal is transmitted, the OOK signal from IDU will be separated by a low pass filter and sent to
the OOK circuit for communications between IDU and ODU.
After amplified by AGC circuit, up converted by mixers, filtered by filters and isolated by an isolator, the
310MHz signal multiplexed onto the microwave carrier. The carrier is then transmitted to the remote station
through the antenna.
When the signal is received, the microwave signal will be filtered, amplified, down de-multiplexed
converted to 70 MHz IF signal. The signal will be demodulated and unframed, and then the main service data
and the auxiliary service data will be separated.

4 Antenna
4.1 Overview
The three most important antenna considerations are size, polarization, and location.
4.2 Size
The gain of the antenna is proportional to the area of the antenna. Antenna gain is a measure of how well an antenna focuses a signal for transmission or reception as compared with a point isotropic source. The larger is the antenna, the narrower is its beam width and the higher the resulting gain. Narrower beam widths increase the gain reduces the multi-path, lowers the unwanted interference and enhance the received signal required to link up. However, the trade off is that it is harder to align and heavier. When placing an antenna in an urban environment, a slightly larger antenna may be needed than in a rural environment even if the distance between antennas is the same, due to more interference and multi-path issues.
4.3 Link calculation
Microwave propagation loss in free space(Non-stop, barrier-free) is: Ls(dB)=92.4+20lgF+20lgD namely: F:transmit power, unit is GHz D:transmit distance, unit is KM(km) For example, 15GHz frequency signal is transmitted to 20km,the loss is : Ls=92.4+23.5+26=141.9dB System gain equipment system gain is : Gs=Pt-Pro namely: Pt is equipment RF output power Pro is system receive sensitivity For example, Pt=19dBm,Pro=-87dBm so ,the equipment system gain is : Gs=106dB Link total gain Gl=Gs+Gt+Gr namely: Gt is transmit antenna gain(dB) Gr is receive antenna gain(dB),generally, the size of transmit and receive antennas are the same. In such situation, Gt=Gr For example, transmit and receive port are both 0.6m antenna, the gain is Gt=Gr=36.8dB for high performance antennas,so the link gain is, Gl=106+36.8+36.8=179.6dB
25
link total loss Lt=Ls + Lft + Lfr namely: Lft is the loss between transmit ODU and antenna Lfr is the loss between receiver ODU and antenna Example, the loss is 0.1dB,so the link total loss is: Lt=141.9+0.1+0.1=142.1dB Link reserve margin microwave link reserve margin is: Margin=Gl – Lt For example, for above microwave link,the link reserve margin is: Margin=179.6-142.1=37.5dB For enough field margin, we adjust the antenna size, according to the transmission distance and operation frequency. Figure4-1 defines different gain and loss factor during one microwave link.

4.3 Polarization
Another important characteristic of antenna is polarization. Polarization refers to the direction in which the electrical field (i.e., wave) of a signal is oriented. Normally, horizontal or vertical polarization is used. The
26
antenna at each end of the link must take the same polarization. Sometimes, changing the polarization is used to reduce interference.
4.4 Installation position
Each antenna may be mounted on a roof, on a tower, or positioned behind a non-metalized glass window. Weight, wind resistance, grounding and the integrity of the bracket must be considered. The most important requirement for antenna location, however, is a clear line-of-sight (LOS) to the receiving antenna. Clear LOS means that, ideally, the remote antenna location is visible (i.e., no buildings, trees, hills, etc. are blocking the path).Generally, to go farther the antennas must be mounted higher. Locating antennas on buildings or hills is a good start.

5.4 Equipment Installation
Equipment installation includes antenna installation, ODU installation and IDU installation.
5.4.1 Antenna Installation Overview
Just the qualified and experienced engineers are allowed to install and maintain the antenna system. The vendor is not responsible for any damages caused by incorrect or unsafe installation.
The antenna provides the Rx/Tx function of RF, usually installed on the tower or top of building. There are 0.3m, 0.6m and 1.2m types of antenna, which will be selected according to the circumstance. The antennas of both ends should adopt the same polarization, usually vertical polarization. To check the accessories of antenna and pole for their installation, see Appendix B and Appendix C.
33
5.4.2 Pole Installation
Pole installation must be done before antenna installation. The pole can select hollow steel tube whose diameter isΦ76~Φ127mm with the length 1.5m~2m. It must endure the wind speed 50m/s. The pole and antenna should be spray-painted with antirust material to prevent corrosion. There are following ways to install pole, and in all cases ensure the pole is vertically oriented as much as possible:
Fix the pole onto the high tower. Fix the pole onto the low self-support tower on the top of the building. Enough loading capability of
building-top is required and groundsill must be firmed, usually, adopting pouring cement groundsill and embedding foot screws to fix antenna pole.
Fix the pole onto the parapet wall of the building (the parapet wall must be armored concrete construction and can bear enough resistance).Erect a ф120mm pole (with less than 8m height). The depth of embedding should be longer than 2m, being poured with block cement around 1m2. There should be treads on the pole.
The above installation ways would be selected depending on the circumstance. All of them need to abide by the lightning proof standard and grounding must be well done.

5.4.6 ODU Installation
The location for ODU installation should be correctly chosen so that the adjustment and maintenance can be convenient. Pay attention to the polarization and grounding while installing.
40
There are two kinds of connections between ODU and the antenna. 1. Connect the ODU to the antenna directly for 1+0 mode. 2. Install two ODUs on the combiner and then connect the combiner to the antenna for 1+1 mode.
Figure 5-161+0/1+1 ODU and antenna installation
If you do not follow the ODU installation procedures, not only the antenna accessories will be damaged, the equipment will not work also. It is advised that read the manual carefully before
the installation. When the problem occurred, please contact our Technical Support.
41
The installation steps: 1. Confirm that the local ODU and remote ODU are correctly matched, one side high band and the other side
low band. Rotate the four fixed nuts of ODU to move them to the top end of the screws. .Remove the protective shield of waveguide, and uniformly smear the lubricating grease around the waveguide.
Figure 5-17 Preparation for installation
2. Insert the four fixed screws of ODU into the four gourd-shaped holes of the antenna flange. Make sure the directions of the antenna flange waveguide and the ODU waveguide are consistent. Rotate the ODU counter-clockwise until the four screws stop at the end of the corresponding mounting slots Fix the four nuts by screwing down with the wrench on a progressive basis to ensure the ODU is mounted symmetrically onto the antenna.
3. Install the N-type male connector to the one end of the coaxial cable (for example, type 8DFB Installation materials and other accessories pack list). It is recommended that the maximum cable length is less than 300m although the cable length is typically 75 m or so
4. Tie the coaxial cable to the equipment along the pole in a stress reducing manner to avoid too much tension on the subsequent cable interface connectors.
5. Connect the coaxial cable and ODU with the N type male connector, then use the waterproof tape to cover connector interface to prevent water from entering the connector. The tape should be layered in a water skirting direction (rather than water trapping direction)
6. Connect the grounding cable to the grounding bolt of ODU, and then connect the other end of the cable to the ground point.

the parameters. The message indicates where and why the error occurred while user can take simple
troubleshooting.
If there is any problem that cannot be solved, refer to Chapter 9 for help.
6.2.3 Field installation
You can start the installation on site after the equipment setup. Check the Rxl after finishing the installation by LCT. If the Rxl is too low pls refer to 6.2.4
6.2.4 Antenna alignment
If RSSI is quite different from the link budget or even no receiving signal, the antennas must be aligned. In general, the
alignment is indispensable after installation. It contains horizontal adjustment, pitch angle adjustment and polarization
adjustment, seeing Section 5.4.4 for specific methods.
To align the antennas:
1. Verify that both antennas have the same polarization (horizontal/vertical).
2. Check the connections of the cables are correct and reliable.
3. The line of sight must be ok while there is no obstruction between the two sites.
89
4. Slowly move the local antenna elevation axis (the azimuth axis should be locked) until you get the best signal in local
(monitor the RSSI or the voltage with a multi-meter).Lock the elevation axis.
5. Slowly move the remote antenna elevation axis (the azimuth axis should be locked) until you get the best signal in local
(monitor the RSSI or measure the voltage with a multi-meter) .Lock the elevation axis.
6. Slowly move the local elevation azimuth axis (the elevation axis should be locked) until you get the best signal in local
(monitor the RSSI or measure the voltage with a multi-meter) .Lock the azimuth axis.
7. Slowly move the remote elevation azimuth axis (the elevation axis should be locked) until you see the best signal in local
(monitor the RSSI or measure the voltage with a multi-meter) .Lock the azimuth axis.
8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 until the RSSI is equal or as close as possible to the calculated receive signal.
9. Tighten the antenna azimuth axis and elevation axis.
10. If the alignment cannot achieve the desired RSSI, reduce the distance of the link.
11. If the distance cannot be reduced, consider the replacement of a larger-diameter antenna.
12. Fix the waveguide interface cable connector and etc.
6.2.5 Further Configuration

Method 1 and 2 can be implemented without configuration, but need to be operated at both ends.
Method 3 and 4 need to set up the loopback state of E1 interfaces locally, but the operation can be
completed at one end。
Test Integrity:2>4>1>3. Method 2 can test all the signal channels.
Method 4 can test all the signal channels, without the duplex channels between the remote
E1 interfaces and the external equipment.
Method 1 can test the channels between the local external equipment and the remote
external equipment.
Method 3 can only test the duplex channels between the local E1 interfaces and the local
external equipment.
A reasonable choice of test methods can quickly complete the installation and commission. Using method 3+4 can ensure the Integrity and convenience.
If the BER testing result can not satisfy the requirement, refer to troubleshooting.

6.3.2.2 1+1 Configuration
In this mode the master link is switched to the standby link if abnormity is detected by one of the two master IDUs. After switching, the standby will continue to operate even if the original abnormity has cleared. Manual intervention is needed to switch back to the original master link. Upon detection of abnormity by one of the two master IDUs meeting switching to the standby link criteria, the two master IDUs will: set their own ODUs transmit to mute, inform their respective counterpart standby IDUs to activate their standby ODUs and start transmitting, and switch both data paths from master IDUs to standby IDUs. Configuration steps:
1.Ensure that all connections are correct. 2. Power on all the IDUs. 3.Set Host A IP address Local configure panel, enter configure->General Settings->Change IP

8.EMS System
8.1 Overview
DMW-P system can be set up according to the demand as a large or medium-sized network. EMS is the
network element management software used to monitor the status of various network elements.EMS can
adjust parameters of network elements according to the actual needs in order to ensure the smooth conduct of
communications. It can also show the network elements and their attributes.
Through EMS, manager can configure the DMW-P system, monitor and analyze the performance, adjust
parameters according to the displayed information and report network events.
EMS adopts an operating environment which is similar with Microsoft Windows, a simple network
management protocol to carry out communications and a platform based on TCP/IP for link management.
EMS for DMW-P system has two parts:
EMS,installed on PC.
SNMP agent, embedded in IDU.
EMS and agent use SNMP to communicate with each other on TCP/IP. The SNMP agent includes a standard
database and more than one SNMP Management Information Databases (MIBs).EMS communicates
databases of the agent in order to obtain NE information. Therefore, from the functional point of view, EMS is
regarded as a MASTER and agent is regarded as a SLAVE.
For this master-slave relationship, there is an exception when dealing with the alarm information reported
from the slave. These information or alarms that are sent to EMS from slaves are called traps.
EMS cannot receive traps directly until the destination IP of these traps has been user-defined..
8.2 Features
EMS has features as follows:
WINDOWS-based graphical environment for user interface
Configuration for connecting sites
Observation for all data ports
114
Remote Network Access
Transmission monitoring
Management for alarm, state, security, performance, test and configuration
8.3 Functions

9 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
9.1 Overview
If the equipment can’t work normally or the link is down after its installation, the phenomenon can be seen
as communication failures. Usually, not all the failures are caused by equipment itself. The maintenance
engineer should firstly rule out the communication interruption caused by other external factors according to
the fault phenomenon and restore communications quickly. If the fault is caused by the equipment, the
maintenance engineer should contact the vendor.
The failure source and key information are displayed on the LED in front panel; this can help the engineer to
determine the cause of malfunction and isolate the possible point of failure.
The common failures are as follows:
The E1 interface signal is vanished or the user data does not exist.
The antenna feeder is unconnected or inappropriate connected.
The power supply is improper.
There is serious obstruction in line-of-sight.
The equipment is not in correct work status
DMW-P system can be operated easily without a lot of complex preparatory work. Also, the fault can be
located quickly with the states of the LED indicators in the front panel. The following sections will give the
detailed correspondences between the states of the LED indicators and the typical states of various parts of
equipment. Alarm definition, alarm condition and alarm handling will be described in detail.

This problem can be judged obviously by checking the PWR indicator in maintenance.
It includes:
1. The power supply range is not correct. The power supply type must comply with the equipment.
2. The power cable is short or open.
120
3. The power supply pin and on-off tangency is not good.
4. The fuse is bad.
5. There is a problem in the power supply module inside IDU.
Troubleshooting:
1. Check the power supply.
2. Check the connection of the both ends of the power cable.
3. Check that the power cable is short or open.
4. Check that the power supply type complies with the equipment..
5. Check that power supply range
6. Check that whether the on-off tangency and fuse are good..
7. Check that the grounding is good.
8. If the malfunction still exists, this may be a problem of the power supply module inside IDU that user
cannot fix. Please call our Technical Support.
9.4 Connection-type Malfunction
Connection-type malfunction includes:
1. Failure in E1 cable connection between IDU and external equipment may cause “E1 Signal LOS Alarm”.
2. Failure in IF cable connection between IDU and ODU may cause “IDU RX IF Too Low Alarm”.
3. Failure in protection cable connection between host IDU and standby IDU may cause switch failure.
4. Failure in cable connection between IDU and PC may cause LCT operation failure.
5. Failure in connection between IDU and server may cause EMS management failure.
Connection-type malfunction 1and 2 may cause corresponding alarm. But when the alarm occurred, it does
not mean that there is a problem of connection. So eliminate the connection-type malfunction first when solve
the alarm: check if the connection; try to replace the cable.
Dealing with the connection-type malfunction 4 (LCT no response):
1.Check that the cable is firm. One end is connected to PC and another end is connected to IDU LAN
interface.
121
1. Try to connect to another LAN interface.
2. Try to replace the cable.
3. Check that the IP address of PC and IDU are in the same network segment and the gateway of PC is
correct.
4. Check that the IP address of IDU for LCT connection is correctly filled by user. If user does not
know the IP, find it on LCD.
5. Restart the IDU.
6. If the malfunction still exists, this may indicate a problem in the network module inside IDU that user
cannot fix. Please call our Technical Support.
Dealing with the connection-type malfunction 5 (EMS no response):
1. First, according to the network topology, locate the non-response region the non-response IDU
belongs to. The non-response region means the region which contains one or more non-response
IDUs.
2. Find out the nearest IDU of the region to the EMS server.
3. Go to the field and eliminate the power supply malfunction first.
4. If the IDU connects the nearest hop to se ver through a wireless link, check if there is an alarm at the
near end or far end. If there is, solve the alarm; if there is not, contact our Technical Support for
replacement (local or remote).
5. If the IDU connects the nearest hop to sever through a net wire, check the cable connection. Try to
replace the cable or the LAN interface.
6. Check that the static routing table is correctly configured.
7. Check that the static routing tables of all the IDUs using the routing function (called the router IDU)
on the link to the server are correctly configured.
7. Restart the IDU. If the malfunction still exists, this may be a problem of the network module inside
IDU that user cannot fix. Please call our Technical Support.
8. Check whether the next IDU of the non-response region is still non-response. Repeat steps 1 to 8 to
troubleshoot the non-response IDU until EMS can manage all the NEs in planning.

Notice:When an alarm occurred, a warning message will be reported once; when an alarm disappears, a
clearing message will be reported once. After the appearance of an alarm, the corresponding indicator lights
become bright; they go out after the elimination of the alarm.
9.5.2 Troubleshooting Alarms
9.5.2.1 Serious Bit Error Rate Alarm
For different situations, user can define the BER threshold into different levels. The default is 10e-6 that meet
the general requirement.
This alarm indicates that the BER has exceeded the BER threshold.
When this alarm occurred the AIS indicator turns light. When the alarm is cleared, the AIS indicator goes out.
Steps:
1. First check if there is a fatal alarm such as:
IDU RX LO Unlock Alarm
ODU TX LO Unlock Alarm
IDU RX IF Too Low Alarm
If one of those Alarms occurred solve that Alarm first.
2. Check if the BER user-defined threshold is reasonable.
3. Check that the RSSI is acceptable (-90dBm to -20dBm). If it is not, refer to Section 9.5.2.2,
Troubleshooting “RSSI Too Low Alarm”.
4. Check that the baseband Signal-to-noise Ratio is acceptable. If the SNR is below requirement and the RSSI
is normal, refer to step 6 for eliminating interference.
5. If it has dropped back below the BER threshold, note the time the alarm last. This may allow you to track
down the source of the fade if this alarm periodically appears. Some possible sources of fading could be
noise, interfering signals, temporary obstructions (such as someone standing directly in front of the
antenna), or the operation of a microwave oven in the vicinity.
6. If the BER continues to remain above the BER threshold, check the link for possible obstructions or
interference. Obstructions could be anything from new buildings or walls to growing trees or changes in the
landscape. For example, if a tree between the two antennas grows enough to block the Fresnel zone, the
BER will increase. Also, if that trees is removed, there could be multipath fading effects causing a problem.
To check for sources of interference, look for other similar systems in the area or use a spectrum analyzer to
detect the noise floor and any other signals in the vicinity of the antennas that are in or near the band. Note
the frequency, power, and direction of the interfering signal. This will be helpful in adjusting the antenna
direction or polarization to reduce the interference.
Specific procedures:
Align the antenna. Different from Section 6.3, this alignment is based on BER not RSSI.
The excursion of the antenna direction may reduce the received signal energy and link gain, which could
124
cause error bit. In this condition the antenna should be readjusted for better received signal.
The steps as follows:
Loosen the antenna fixtures, then turn the antenna few angles (no more than ±5º) along the level
direction. The error tester should be observed every several minutes after the alignment. If the BER drops
down, rotate the antenna according with the original direction until the BER increases. Then reverse the
antenna to the position with lowest BER.
Use the same method to adjust the antenna’s pitch angel until getting the lowest BER.
Fix the antenna.
Antenna polarization
If the BER has not got better even though the antenna alignment, then the Antenna polarization can be
taken into account.
The steps of checking and adjusting antenna as follows:
Make sure the polarization direction of the two ends is the same. If not, adjust it to the same polarization.
If the result is not improved, then rotate the antenna 90° clockwise to another polarization .
polarization direction 1 polarization direction 2
BER
Choose larger size antenna
If all the above measures can not improve the received signal, then the larger size antenna should be
used.
The larger size antenna can not only increase the received gain but also reduce the external
electromagnetic interference.
The original size antenna larger size antenna
BER
7. Restart the system (both local and remote ends).
8. If the alarm still exists, this may be a problem on IDU or ODU that user cannot fix. Please call our
Technical Support.
9.5.2.2 RSSI Too Low Alarm
User can define RSSI threshold according with different BER levels. The default is -90dBm.
This alarm is caused by signal power received by the ODU that is less than threshold. When this alarm
occurred the ODU indicators turns light. When the alarm is cleared, the ODU indicators go out.
125
Steps
1. Check that the RF parameters are configured properly. Check that ODUs of two ends are right matched.
Be sure one is high station, the other is low station. Check that the channel number of two ends is
identical. Otherwise it is impossible to establish a link. Check that PAs of two ODUs are unmated and
transmit maximum power.
2. Check if there is an “ODU TX Power Fading Alarm”, “IDU TX LO Unlock Alarm” or “ODU TX LO
Unlock Alarm” at the far end. If one of those alarms is set, debug that alarm first.
3. Make sure there is no E1 local loopback test at the far end.
4. Check if there is an identical alarm at the far end. If there is, check the link as follows.
5. Check that the antenna polarization of two ends is the same.
6. Check the antenna alignment. Make sure the antenna is aligned properly and that the RF cable is
connected correctly and not damaged. Do this for both sites of the link.
7. Check whether the weather conditions are too bad, such as heavy rain, snow, strong wind, etc.
8. Check that there is no obstruction in line-of-sight (LOS)
9. Following step 4,if there is no such alarm, the problem is in a single way from the far end to the near end.
Restart the IDU
10. If the alarm is solved it means that the antenna is blocked temporarily
