GTR 8000 Base Radio Description

This chapter provides a high-level description of the GTR 8000 Base Radio and GPW 8000 Receiver and the
function they serve in your system.

1.1 Introduction

GTR 8000 Base Radio/GPW 8000 Receiver

This manual provides information on the standalone GTR 8000 Base Radio and GPW 8000 Receiver and associated
applications. The term base radio or BR is used to denote the transceiver and associated modules. As viewed in
these instances, one base radio is a standalone configuration.

A GTR 8000 Base Radio consists of a transceiver module, power amplifier module, fan module, and power
supply. The transceiver module includes the functionality for the exciter, receiver, and station control with an
optional transceiver option card. The base radio software, configuration, and network management, as well as
inbound/outbound traffic handling, are performed through the transceiver module. On-board serial and Ethernet
service ports are on this module for local servicing through CSS. The power amplifier module amplifies the
low-level modulated RF signal from the transceiver module and delivers the amplified signal on the path to the
transmit antenna. The power supply module supports the transceiver and power amplifier modules. Radio Frequency
Distribution System (RFDS) provides the interface between the transceivers and the site antennas and between
the power amplifier and the site antennas.
