Logical structure of the LRFU
The uplink RX channels implement the following functions:
l
Filters and amplifies two uplink signals and performs digital down-conversion, analog-to-
digital (A/D) conversion, digital Inphase Quadrature (IQ) signal demodulation, and
matched filtering.
l
Performs uplink Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and stabilizes the level in the IQ digital
domain of the BBU-RFU interface.
l
Frames the IQ signals of the BBU-RFU interface.
l
Reports the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI).
The downlink TX channels implement the following functions:
l
Deframes the IQ signals of the BBU-RFU interface.
l
Shapes and filters downlink IQ signals, performs digital up-conversion, digital-to-analog
(D/A) conversion, and amplifies the power.
l
Reports the transmit power.
l
Provides overload protection of the power amplifier.
l
Enables or disables TX channels.
l
Provides closed-loop power control.
l
Simulates the downlink load.
The control module implements the following functions:
l
Provides the interface for reporting backup power alarms.
l
Provides the functions of the Remote Electrical antenna Tilt (RET) antenna.
