Space Diversity Concept In long distance wireless links, multipath phenomenon commonly exist, whereby fading occurs over time, space, and frequency.

The 1500HP RFU provides two types of Space Diversity optimizations, which are ideal solutions for the multipath phenomenon:

IF Combining

BBS (Base Band Switching)

Note that there are two types of RFUs, one with and one without support for space diversity. The RFUs have different part numbers, and are characterized as follows:

RFU with dual receiver (supports Space Diversity using IF combining)

RFU with single receiver (does not support Space Diversity using IF combining)

Both RFUs support Space Diversity BBS (Base Band Switching).

IF Combining Mechanism The RFU includes an IF combining mechanism, which sums the signals received from both antennas, to improve signal quality.

FibeAir 1500HP IF combining is performed by an innovative digital optimization algorithm. When distortion occurs, it is measured in both receiver paths, a new combined signal is produced, which improves the system gain by up to 3 dB.

The delay calibration for the diversity waveguide is done automatically via the NMS.

Each RFU has built-in space diversity functionality, with one transmitter and two receivers. The receivers receive two different signals from two antennas, which are installed 10-20 meters apart.

Base Band Switching FibeAir 1500HP can operate with base band Space Diversity (as with FibeAir 1500P and 1500SP ODUs).

With Diversity performed in the indoor (baseband), the modem will switch to the other RF signal when interference occurs, and will return to the main signal when the interference is gone. In this way, the system performs optimum signal receiving by switching to the best signal performance.


Configurations

FibeAir 1500HP supports the following configurations:

Unprotected

1+0 to N+0 - Data is transmitted through N channels, without redundancy (protection).

Hot Standby

The Hot Standby system includes the following configurations:

Two RFUs use the same RF channel connected via a coupler, whereby one channel transmits and the other acts as a backup (standby).

Hot Standby Frequency Diversity - Two RFUs use different RF channels, whereby both RFUs transmit on different frequencies. The receive signal is generated by one RFU, and hitless switching to the second RFU will be performed if a failure or signal degradation occurs.

Hot Standby with two antennas - Two RFUs are connected to two different antennas. This configuration features Space Diversity, whereby the diversity is achieve in the indoor unit (known as Space Diversity Base-Band Switching).

N+1 Frequency Diversity

N+1 - Data is transmitted through N channels and an additional (+1) frequency channel, which protects the N channels. The +1 channel can carry the data of one of the N carriers if a failure or dignal degradation occurs.

Note: Space Diversity can be used in each of the configurations

Upgrade Procedure

The following components need to be added when upgrading from 1+0 up to N+1:

OCBs

RFUs

IDMs

Flexible waveguides

When adding RF channels or carriers, RFUs and OCBs with specific filters need to be added as well.

The OCBs will be chained together using couplers (for the same frequency) or U-bends (for different frequencies), in accordance with the specific configuration.

Open ports on the OCBs will be terminated with 50 ohm terminations.

Detailed upgrade procedure documents are available for specific configurations.

RFU - RF Unit

The RFU handles the main radio processing. It includes the following radio components: signal receiving, signal transmission, IF processing, and power supply.

There are two types of RFUs: one with a dual receiver, and one with a single receiver. The RFU with a dual receiver supports Space Diversity using IF combining, which combines two signals, main and diversity, and uses the combined signal to overcome multipath phenomenon (for Space Diversity configurations).

The RFU with a single receiver does not support Space Diversity using IF combining. This RFU will be used when Space Diversity with IF combining is not required.

Both RFUs support Space Diversity BBS (Base Band Switching) where the IF signal switching is performed in the IDU.

The two RFU types (with & without Space Diversity) have two different part numbers.

OCB - Outdoor Circulator Block. The OCB has the following main purposes:

1. Hosts the circulators and the attached filters.

2. Routes the RF signal in the correct direction, through the filters and circulators.

3. Allows RFU connection to the Main and Diversity antennas.

Two types of OCBs can be used:

Type1 OCB

Type2 OCB

The main difference between the two types is the circulator direction. Depending on the configuration, OCB Type 1 or Type2 is used together with waveguide shorts, waveguide loads, U Bends, or couplers.

Each OCB has four waveguide access points: two in the front, and two at the rear. The diversity access point is optional.

If the system is not configured for diversity, all the relevant access points on the OCB must be terminated using waveguide shorts.

The two OCB types (with & without space diversity) have different part numbers.

RF Filters RF Filters are used for specific frequency channels and Tx/Rx separation. The filters are attached to the OCB, and each RFU contains one Rx and one Tx filter. In a Space Diversity using IF combining configuration, each RFU contains two Rx filters (which combine the IF signals) and one Tx filter. The filters can be replaced without removing the OCB.

U Bend WG Kit The U Bend connects the secondary (OCB 2) RFU and the first RFU (OCB 1) in a 2+0 and N+1 Frequency Diversity configuration.


OBN - Outdoor Branching Network The OBN is a branching network for N radio systems. It provides the electrical and mechanical interface between the RFU and the antenna waveguides.

The OBN has several versions, depending on the system configuration and application.

The Branching Network contains N x OCBs (Outdoor Circulator Blocks), RF filters, and other waveguide components, connected in accordance with the system configuration (N+1, 2+0, etc.).

OBN components are integrated with the RFU to form a tightly sealed unit capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions.

Coupler Kit The coupler kit is used for 1+1 Hot Standby configurations, with or without Space Diversity.

Pole Mount Kit The Pole Mount Kit is used to fasten the OCB and the RFU to the pole. The kit enables fast and easy installation.
