2.1 RRU Equipment
The RRU is a remote radio unit.
The RRU has the following functions:
l
The RRU receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to IF
signals, and then transmits them to the BBU or the macro NodeB after amplification,
analog-to-digital conversion, digital down-conversion, matched filtering, and Digital
Automatic Gain Control (DAGC).
l
The RRU receives downlink baseband signals from the BBU or the macro NodeB, forwards
data from its cascaded RRU, performs filtering and digital-to-analog conversion, and up-
converts RF signals to the transmitting frequency band.
l
The RRU multiplexes RX and TX signals over RF channels and filters the RX signals and
TX signals. This enables the RX signals and TX signals to share the same antenna path.
The RRU features a modular structure with its ports at the module bottom and on the cabling
cavity.
The LEDs, on the LED panel of the RRU, indicate the running status of the RRU.
The RRU has a bottom panel, a cabling cavity panel, and an LED panel.
