Hardware architecture
The architecture of BS-240XL II provides maximum flexibility to develop large and smallBTSs.
The main communication between the modules is provided by means of bi-directionalserial links ( CC-Link s) between the carrier units and the core modules. These CC-linkshandle the entire communication between BTS core and carrier units. Baseband fre-quency hopping is also supported.
All alarms, besides the alarms generated in the COBA and in the carrier units, are trans-ported via the CAN bus. Alarms of the carrier units are transmitted via CC-link.
The carrier unit provides all analog and digital signal processing including an RF power stage necessary to process a single carrier (e.g. GSM 8 TCH s). The carrier unit(s) inter-face with the combining equipment on the one side and with the core modules on theother. The core modules provide functions common to all carriers within the BTS (e.g.clock generation, O&M processing,...) as well as LAPD processing for the carriers.
3.1 Rack configurationThe BS-240XL II with 12 TRXs per rack (24 with FlexCUs), expandable up to 24 TRXs(48 with FlexCU) in 2 racks, is supplied for indoor installation.
There are four different rack types: – Base rack (with core modules) – Extension rack (when more then 12 carrier units are required) – Service1A rack (with AC/DC, LE and batteries) – Service2 rack (for LE and batteries)
Figure 3 shows the BS-240XL II configured with 24 TRX.

Core boards have a common backplane. The connection of the core modules with theOVPT/Abis interface and the carrier units is done via cables, which are plugged into thebackplane.
Figure 6 Connection of core modules
Hot plug-in: A hot plug-in of COBA and COSA is possible. This means that theseboards can be plugged in/out with voltage switched on without disturbing other HW
inside the rack (no loss of data on other boards) and without destroying other boards.After the plug-in of a core board, this board is in "reset" state and all bus drivers of external busses are in tristate. These drivers will be enabled not before initialization of the devices, which serve the external busses.

Module description
4.2.1 Core basis (COBA)The COBA is the central board of the core. The main components of this board are thebase core controller, the advanced clock generation, the serial link interface controller
that manage the external interface towards the carrier units, the PCM30/24 Abis inter-faces, the internal system alarm interface, and also an interface to one COSA to expandthe BTS.
The COBA has to be installed in the base rack.
Types of COBA:• M:COBA2P8Vx• M:COBA4P12Vx• M:CESCOBAVx
g Name convention for COBAs and COSAs:The first digit gives the number of Abis interfaces, the following letter gives the kind
of Abis interface (e.g. P for PCM30/24), and the following number gives the number of carrier unit interfaces ( CC -links).For example:COBA 2P8 means 2 PCM30/24 Abis interfaces and 8 carrier unit interfaces.COBA 4P12 means 4 PCM30/24 Abis interfaces and 12 carrier unit interfaces.
The base core controller maintains the software of all BTS units in FLASH-EPROMs,monitors the software download, and terminates all internal system alarms. Beside theO&M functions, the controller handles the signaling messages between the core and thecarrier units (CC-link).
The ACLK generates the system specific timing signals that are distributed by theCC-link to the carrier units.
The "cross connect" feature is supported. To provide this feature, additional coremodules are required:• With COBA2P8: A COSA6P16 must be installed additionally.• With COBA4P12: Either a COSA4P12 or a COREXT must be installed additionally.• With CESCOBA: Either a COSA4P12 or a COREXT must be installed additionally.
The CESCOBA module (available from BR10 onward) is required if Circuit EmulationService over Packet functionality shall be applied.
The CESCOBA is a COBA version for the BTSE family which is designed to carry TDMtraffic (Abis) over a packet network without external equipment. TDM to Packet inter-working functionality is based on the Pseudo Wire emulation Edge-to-Edge mechanism
(PWE3), which allows the transport of all relevant parts of a service, such as E1/T1 lines,over a packet switched network. This kind of emulation is called Circuit EmulationService over Packet Switched Network (CESoPSN). For more information aboutCESoPSN functionality, see the feature description “FD10560: Internal Ethernet/IPinterfaces for BSS”.
The CESCOBA must not be mixed with COBA4P12, COBA2P8 or COSA6P16.One (or two) CESCOBA module(s) can only be configured in combination with one Ethernetconnector module (ETHCON) .
Core redundancy is possible (see Core redundancy ).
Fault propagation through dependent modules
If core redundancy is not installed and a failure in the COBA module occurs , the entireBTS goes out of service until the faulty COBA module is replaced.

4.2.4 Core redundancyTo fulfill the core redundancy aspects, a redundant COBA can be installed. In case of aserious fault to the active COBA, the redundancy algorithm switches to the passive one.
One of the COBAs is active and one passive. The passive one is waiting for its activationin case of a failure within the active core.
Both cores (#0 and #1) have link interfaces to the Abis lines, but only one (the active
core) is connected.

If the core consists of a combination of COBA and COSA or COBA and COREXTmodules, each of these modules must be installed twice.
Both, the active and the passive core have links to the carrier units. In reverse, each
carrier unit is linked with both cores. The traffic data are transmitted transparentlythrough the active core. Signal processing takes place only within the carrier units.
The redundancy interface is realized as a 2 Mbit/s HDLC link which provides a commu-nication interface between the two main microprocessors.
The ACLK of the active core is connected with the one on the passive core. It allows thepassive ACLK to be synchronized to the active one.
g With core redundancy, a mixed configuration with COBA2P8 and COBA4P12 in thesame BTS is not allowed.
g Redundancy is implemented in a cold-standby mode, i.e., all calls will get lost if acore switch over occurs.
Fault propagation through dependent modules in case of core redundancy
The redundant implemented COBA is a "cold" one, that means no data synchronizationbetween the two COBAs.
If core redundancy is installed and a failure in the active COBA module occurs, all callswill be lost and the BSTE switches to the stand-by COBA without any further serviceinterruption.

4.3 Carrier related modulesThe carrier unit takes care of all carrier oriented tasks. In the uplink (UL) direction, twoor four RF signals (diversity) are received and finally converted into TRAU frames and
signaling data. In the downlink (DL) direction, TRAU frames and signaling data arereceived from the core and converted into a GMSK or 8PSK modulated RF signal, whichis amplified to the desired power level.
Different types of carrier related modules can be used: carrier units (CUs and GCUs),EDGE carrier units (ECUs), and flexible carrier units (FlexCUs). Each carrier unit can bereplaced by another without any additional hardware change.
• An ECU is similar to a GCU but with the additional support of 8PSK modulation. Itconverts the signaling and traffic data into a GMSK or 8PSK modulated signal.
• A FlexCU is a complete two-carrier unit and its two TRX s can be configured inde-pendently, e.g. into different sectors; GMSK and 8PSK modulated signals are sup-
ported.CU, GCU, ECU and FlexCU modules may be installed in any kind of mixed configura-tions.
For the typical and the guaranteed values of RF output power level, see section Carrier unit output power level .
4.3.1 Carrier units (CU)The CU is a carrier unit variant which supports GMSK modulation. Different variants of CUs for the several frequency bands GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 exist (seealso Table 5 ).
4.3.2 GSM carrier unit (GCU)The GCU is a carrier unit variant that supports GMSK modulation.
Different variants of GCUs for the frequency bands GSM 900 and GSM 1800 exist (seealso Table 5 ).
4.3.3 EDGE carrier unit (ECU)The ECU can support EDGE functionality in uplink and downlink. In downlink direction,the signaling and traffic data are received from the core and converted into GMSK or
8PSK modulated signals which are amplified to the desired power level. With the intro-duction of EDGE, it is possible to mix EDGE and non-EDGE timeslots on the samecarrier.
Different variants of ECUs for the several frequency bands GSM 850, GSM 900,GSM 1800, and GSM 1900 exist (see also Table 5 ).
The mechanical design of ECU is identical to that of all other CU versions; it is thereforehardware compatible and fits into all BTS racks.

4.3.4 Flexible carrier unit (FlexCU)The FlexCU is a complete two-carrier unit. It is based on the ECU keeping the samedimensions. Its two TRXs can be configured independently, e.g. into different sectors,
and can therefore increase the system reliability. The FlexCU either acts as two inde-pendent ECUs or as one carrier unit with four receivers, the so called "fourfold receivediversity" mode. To improve the downlink in fourfold receive diversity mode, it is recom-mended to activate the feature "Transmission Diversity Time Delay".
In uplink direction, four RF signals are received and converted into traffic and signalingdata. In downlink direction, traffic and signaling data are received and converted into twoGMSK or 8PSK modulated signals which are amplified to the desired power level.
By using FlexCUs instead of other carrier units, the number of carriers within the existingrack(s) can be doubled. This is an ideal solution to double the capacity of BTSs, anadvantage not only for footprint restricted BTS sites.
A working FlexCU requires about 30% less power than two ECUs. As soon as a TRX isidle, the transmitter (TX) is switched off. With this enhanced power saving mode, theoverall power consumption of an idle FlexCU (both TRXs in idle state) is only about40 W.
The FlexCU supports all frequency bands: GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800, andGSM 1900. One type for each frequency band exists (see also Table 5 ).
FlexCU operation modes
FlexCUs may operate in two different modes: the double and the single TRX mode.
The double TRX mode is the default configuration of a FlexCU, with full support of MCS-1 to MCS-9 in uplink and downlink. It functions like two independent ECUs withcomplete twofold EDGE TRX functionality: Each of both transceivers shows a full-equipped main receiver and diversity receiver.
Figure 9 FlexCU – Double TRX mode
The so called fourfold receive diversity mode is the single TRX mode in which theFlexCU functions as one carrier unit with four receivers. If transmit diversity is enabled,this mode is automatically activated.
The four receivers of the FlexCU are fed by four independent antennas via one(F)DUAMCO together with one DIAMCO.
The TX path is fed via the (F)DUAMCO to two of the four antennas.
The fourfold receive diversity mode enhances the receiver sensitivity of the BTS. Thedoubled number of the RX paths leads to an enhanced diversity gain.

4.4 Antenna combining modulesVarious types of combining modules are available. Each type comes in various modulesand is associated with various frequency bands.
The BTS can work with three different amplifier multicouplers: e.g. with the DUAMCO,its successor FDUAMCO, or the MFDUAMCO, which offers the most flexible way tocombine.
The filter combiner FICOM6 offers the same advantages like MFDUAMCO but withlower insertion loss for a high number of TRXs per cell.
4.4.1 Duplexer amplifier multicoupler (DUAMCO)The DUAMCO consists of two identical modules. Each of the DUAMCO modulescombines the transmit and receive paths to one antenna. It splits the receive signal tobe used in the carrier units and serves as a duplexer unit, which provides filtering func-tions for both, RX and TX paths and low noise amplification for the RX path.
Different versions of DUAMCO are available for each frequency band.
Different DUAMCO versions provide different functionality:• a DUAMCO 2:2 module connects one carrier to one antenna• a DUAMCO 4:2 module connects up to two carriers to one antenna• a DUAMCO 8:2 module connects up to four carriers to one antenna
g It is possible to implement DUAMCO/FDUAMCO modules of different frequencybands, but:All combining equipment in a cell must support the same frequency range (thatmeans either GSM 850, or GSM 900, or GSM 1800, or GSM 1900).
g Use FDUAMCORE modules for the GSM-RE 900 MHz band.
It is possible to install up to six DUAMCO 2:2 or DUAMCO 4:2 and up to twoDUAMCO 8:2 respectively in one rack.
g DUAMCOs of different versions have a different TX attenuation.
The DUAMCO is equipped with complete TMA interfaces for DC supply and signaling.For more information, see Antenna Combining - FDUAMCO/DUAMCO .
Fault propagation through dependent modules
Each amplifier of the DUAMCO RX path ( LNA ) consists of two parallel branches. If onlyone branch of one amplifier has a failure, the amplifier will reach lower sensitivity and
generates a warning. The operation continues with performance degradation.If more than one branch of the whole amplifier chain is faulty, the corresponding path of the receiver will not be ready for operation. The connected carrier units lose one of their RX paths (normal or diversity path). The operation continues without diversity feature. If a carrier unit loses both RX paths, it will be configured out of operation.

4.4.2 Flexible duplexer amplifier multicoupler (FDUAMCO)The FDUAMCO is the successor of the DUAMCO. It consists of two identical modules,which each combine the transmit and receive paths to one antenna.
Each FDUAMCO module may be operated in one of the following modes (by jumper set-tings):• 2:2 mode: 1 carrier is fed to the antenna port• 4:2 mode: 2 carriers are combined and fed to the antenna port
Within each cell/sector the same mode of the FDUAMCO shall be installed.
All RX and RXCA outputs of FDUAMCO which are not connected to RX input of a carrier unit, shall be terminated with 50 Ω load resistor. The termination is not required if anFDUAMCO module is not used in the cell configurations.
The FDUAMCO can be combined with a COAMCO8 module to support more carrier units.
The FDUAMCO is equipped with complete TMA interfaces for DC supply and signaling.For more information, see Antenna Combining - FDUAMCO/DUAMCO .
4.4.3 MFDUAMCOThe MFDUAMCO is the successor of DUAMCO and FDUAMCO. It consists of two iden-tical modules, which each combines the transmit and receive paths to one antenna, anda single remote electrical tilt (RET) for controlling the antenna tilt.
Each MFDUAMCO module may be operated in one of the following modes (by jumper settings):• 2:2 mode: 1 carrier is fed to the antenna port• 4:2 mode: 2 carriers are combined and fed to the antenna port
Within each cell/sector, the same mode of the MFDUAMCO shall be installed.
All RX and RXCA outputs of MFDUAMCO which are not connected to RX input of acarrier unit, shall be terminated with 50 Ω load resistor. The termination is not requiredif an MFDUAMCO module is not used in the cell configurations.
The MFDUAMCO can be combined with a HYBRID4 module and a COAMCO8 moduleto support more carrier units.
The MFDUAMCO is equipped with complete MHA/TMA interfaces for DC supply andsignaling. For more information, see Antenna combining - MFDUAMCO .

4.4.4 Hybrid extension module for MFDUAMCO (HYBRID4)The HYBRID4 is an optional module in combination with an MFDUAMCO to provide a4:2 configuration or – with an additional COAMCO8 – an 8:2 configuration.
If used, it must be installed in the same ACOM slot as the related MFDUAMCO, becauseit is fastened to the MFDUAMCO by screws at the front panel.
The HYBRID4 unit consists of two identical modules. Each of these modules providestwo RF input ports and one RF output port to combine the TX paths from several carrier units to one connector.
HYBRID4 modules are available for GSM 850/900 MHz or GSM 1800/1900 MHz.
g HYBRID4 and MFDUAMCO units of different manufacturers can be mixed.
For more information, see Antenna Combining - MFDUAMCO-HYBRID4 Configuration .
4.4.5 Multiple duplexer (MDUX)g MDUX and HYBRID6 modules are available for BTSs from BR9.0 onward.
The MDUX serves as a duplexer unit, which provides filtering functions for both, RX andTX paths and low noise amplification for the RX path. The combiner splits the receivesignal to be used in the carrier units.
The MDUX unit provides 6 independent duplexers with filtering functions for both RXand TX paths and low noise amplification for the RX path. The MDUX on the RX sideprovides 4 RX ports per duplexer. These 4 ports can be used to connect the RX pathsof 2 TRX s and the RX diversity paths of 2 other TRXs to one duplexer and hence preparesthe duplexer for the implementation of cells with up to 4 TRXs and diversity.
The 6 duplexers can be freely assigned to different cells as required at the particular BTS site.
Depending on the usage of HYBRID 6 (hybrid extension) modules, the MDUX can beused for 6 antennas with 1 or 2 carriers each, i.e. for up to 12 carriers in total:
• A duplexer without HYBRID6 module combines RX and TX of one TRX onto oneantenna.
• The same duplexer enhanced with one 3dB hybrid unit of the HYBRID6 modulecombines RX and TX of 2 TRXs onto one antenna.
The MDUX has a DC power consumption of about 50 W and supports one frequencyband.
Two MDUX modules of different frequency bands can be installed into the same baseor extension rack for dual-band applications.
Different types of the MDUX module are available for the frequency bands DCS 1800,E-GSM 900, and P-GSM 900.
g The frequency band of the combiner must correspond to the frequency band of theinstalled carrier units.
MDUX/HYBRID6 units can be configured together with other combining hardware, e.g.(F)DUAMCO or DIAMCO, in one base/extension rack.
Restrictions for combiner usage
•If a TMA is needed, a 3rd party low-gain TMA with external BIAS -T and power supply must be used.

4.4.7 Co-amplifier multicoupler (COAMCO8)The COAMCO8 consists of two identical modules.
The COAMCO8 is used in combination with:
• FDUAMCO in 4:2 mode to provide an 8:2 configuration, so four carriers arecombined and fed to the antenna port.
• MFDUAMCO-HYBRID4 configuration to provide an 8:2 configuration.
• MDUX-HYBRID6 configuration to provide an 8:2 configuration.
COAMCO8 modules are available for GSM 850/900 MHz or GSM 1800/1900 MHz.
For more information, see Antenna combining - COAMCO8 .
4.4.8 Mast head amplifier / tower mounted amplifier (MHA/TMA)MHA and TMA are optional modules that connect the antenna with the BTS in order toamplify the receive signal.
The configuration with MHA or TMA is advantageous because the system sensitivity willnot be degraded by feeder cable loss.
The MHA is feasible only with MFDUAMCO or with the FICOM6 from BR9.0 onward.MHA are not applicable for GSM-R BTS.
One MHA is needed for two RX paths, i.e. for one MFDUAMCO/FICOM6.
One single TMA (STMA) is needed for each RX path of (F)DUAMCO. One dual TMA(DTMA) is needed for two RX paths of (F)DUAMCO.
Different types of MHA exist for different frequency bands:
• MDTA (850 MHz)• MDGA (E-GSM, 900 MHz)• MDDA (1800 MHz)• MDPA (1900 MHz)
The MDxA units replace the TMA units without change of functionality.
See Table 6 for possible substitutions if existing TMAs are replaced by MDxA.
Two kinds of TMA exist: the "single TMA" (GSM 850, GSM 900) and the "dual TMA"(GSM 1800, GSM 1900).
g If the TMA is used together with a HPDU , a BIAS-T ( DUBIAS ) for powering and sig-naling of the TMA is required.
The MFDUAMCO / FICOM6, if set to MHA/TMA mode (dip switch 1 and 6 are ON, or
equivalent O&M configuration setting), automatically detects the connected type of MHA

MHA: Fault propagation through dependent modules
The MHA is monitored via AISG protocol. The connected MFDUAMCO/FICOM6 gener-ates an alarm to O&M in case of malfunction. LED s on the front panel of theMFDUAMCO/FICOM6 show the state of each MHA. Each green LED indicates that theDC for the MHA is "OK" and each red LED gives notice of a faulty MHA if the BTS isconfigured for MHA.
If a branch fails, the amplifier will be bypassed by the "Fail save switch". The connectedMFDUAMCO/FICOM6 generates an alarm message towards the O&M. The red LED in
the MFDUAMCO/FICOM6 of the concerned MHA is switched on, and the multicoupler device will be switched into AMCO mode automatically. The operation continues withminor performance degradation.
If an MHA is installed, the MFDUAMCO/FICOM6 works in MUCO mode and only thesecond amplifier of the RX chain is active. If the MHA fails, "Fail save compensation" willtake effect. The MHA connects the antenna directly to the MFDUAMCO/FICOM6,receives a message to switch over into AMCO mode. In AMCO mode, both amplifiersbecome active and the attenuation switches off. The connected carrier units continuetheir operation with minor performance degradation. Only a POWER ON/RESET or asoftware reset can terminate the state of "Fail save compensation".
TMA: Fault propagation through dependent modules
The TMA watches its LNA by monitoring the DC current and generates an alarmmessage towards (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO. The connected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO gen-erates an alarm to O&M in case of malfunction. LED s on the front panel of the(F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO show the state of each TMA. Each green LED indicates that theDC for the TMA is "OK" and each red LED gives notice of a faulty TMA if the BTS is con-figured for TMA.
The LNA consists of two parallel branches. If only one branch has a failure, the amplifier reaches lower gain and the connected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO will generate a warningtowards the O&M. Operation continues with performance degradation.
If both branches fail, the amplifier will be bypassed by the "Fail save switch". The con-
nected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO generates an alarm message towards the O&M. The redLED in the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO of the concerned TMA is switched on, and the multi-coupler device will be switched into AMCO mode automatically. The operation contin-ues with minor performance degradation.
If a TMA is installed, the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO works in MUCO mode and only thesecond amplifier of the RX chain is active. If both branches of the TMA fail, "Fail savecompensation" will take effect. The TMA connects the antenna directly to the(F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO, receives a message to switch over into AMCO mode. In AMCOmode, both amplifiers become active and the attenuation switches off. The connectedcarrier units continue their operation with minor performance degradation. Only aPOWER ON/RESET or a software reset can terminate the state of "Fail save compen-
sation".

controller board via backplaneThe AC/DC system has integrated fans to force the cooling airflow through the AC/DCmodules.
The tasks of an AC/DC module are the supply of all -48 V consumers within the BTS andthe generating of alarms in case of AC mains or module failures.
The AC/DC system tasks are in detail:
• output supplying all -48 V-consumers within the BTS; input supplying of 230 V AC single-phase or 3-phase-distribution for the world market and120/208 V AC 3-phase-distribution (208 V phase to phase) for the U.S. market.
• supplying external equipment with -48 V
• charging and supervising of different backup battery types
• supervising AC/DCs, batteries and alarm messaging
• switching off DC outputs (AC/DCs as well as battery) in case of under and over tem-perature
• hot plug-in/out of AC/DC modules
The AC/DC and the backup batteries work as an uninterruptible power supply system(UPS).
AC/DC modules work in load sharing "n+1", but n AC/DC are able to supply the wholeBTS (redundancy concept).A local AC/DC supervision and management system hasbeen implemented which is accessible via RS232 interface and external PC. TheAC/DC-System has external alarm outputs to be connected via wire to the ACTC.
The nominal DC output power of one AC/DC module is 1600 W.

4.5.2 Backup battery (BATTPACK)The backup battery guarantees continuous operation for a certain time in case of mainbreakdown or AC/DC failure.
The battery backup time depends on the configuration and the battery type. Differentbattery types for each BTS type are available.
Backup batteries are mandatory for AC-supplied systems and must be installed in theservice racks.
All battery systems connected to one AC/DC system should have the same capacity.
The capacity of the backup battery can be increased by additional batteries in separateservice2 racks.
Emergency operation
The backup time of each BTS can be increased by using the "Emergency operation"
feature. To hold the BTS in operation mode for an extended time, it is necessary toswitch over to "Emergency configuration" after a user-defined time. In this mode, noneor only operator defined TRX remain in operation. All TRXs, which are not part of theemergency configuration, are switched off.
The core modules and optional transmission equipment are supplied with DC voltageuntil low voltage detection circuit (LVD relay) disconnects the backup battery fromsystem load.
If enabled, a second timer counts for another user-defined time. With its expiration, allmodules are switched off, except the core modules. This means "Zero configuration".
4.5.3 AC/DC panel (ADP)An ADP is required for the connection of the BTS to the AC supply line, to the internalbattery (if applied) and to the optional batteries of the service2 rack.
The AC/DC power distribution panel is integrated into the service1A rack and consistsof the following main components:
• AC breakers for the AC phases
• AC service socket 230 V with RCD protection (4A nominal current) or 120 V withRCD protection (15 A) for 120/208 V version
• ACTC (except with ADP-2Vx; see note below)
• DC breaker s for base and extension racks, for all service2 racks and all LE in theservice1A rack, for fan units, for the ACTC module, for other panels
• Battery breaker
• High-current clamp terminals for DC supply of other racks and for battery connection
The DC lines (-48 V, 0 V) of the base/extension/service2 rack will be connected to clampterminals at the front-panel of ADP.
One ADP-2 (with F:ACTC-2) or ADPA is required for the service1A rack with a suitablemounting kit for the AC application.
g The ADP-2Vx module needs a special frame F:ACTC-2, e.g. for housing the ACTC.

• Lightning protection alarm (LPA/ OVP )
For rack alarms, a 24-Pin terminal clamp is used.
On customer request, an ACTM module can be installed in the base rack. In addition tothe 16 internal rack alarms collected with ACTC, 24/48 inputs are available withACTM24Vx/ACTMVx, which can be freely used for external alarms. To protect thesignal lines of the ACTM against overvoltage, an EAP unit (for all lines) or OPEXAL modules (for up to 10 lines each) are available.
The need of EAP or OPEXAL depends on the following situations:
• If all signal lines connected to the ACTM are less than 30 meters long and are keptwithin the building, no additional overvoltage protection is needed.
• If any signal line connected to the ACTM is more than 30 meters long with all signallines still kept within the building, the EAP unit must be used for all external alarmlines.
• If at least one of the external alarm lines is leaving the building, each external alarmline must be protected by its own OPEXAL module.
• Any signal line connected to the ACTM of a outdoor base version must be protectedby its own OPEXAL module.
g The ACTM is mandatory if more than 7 external site alarms are required.
Fault propagation through dependent modules
If the ACTC, ACTP or ACTM fails during operation, the BTS continues the operation.

5 Antenna combiningIn order to serve cells with different carrier numbers and antenna configurations, certaincombinations of combining modules are required. These configurations provide the nec-essary performance in an effective way.
g The term "(MF/F)DUAMCO" means the modules DUAMCO, FDUAMCO andMFDUAMCO.
Antenna combining is used to connect the carrier units (CU) to the antenna system.
Duplex combining connects the receiver (RX) and the transmitter (TX) of a carrier unitto a common antenna. This is done by a duplex filter and serves as the basic functionof a combining unit. Additionally this filter provides the selectivity to fulfill the require-ments according to the requests of the GSM standard. The receiver part of the duplexfilter is terminated by a low noise amplifier, which further on serves several analogousoutputs.
If several transmitters should use the same antenna, they have to be combined beforefeeding them to the TX section of the duplex filter. Two types of transmitter combiningare available: Hybrid combining (wideband) and filter combining (narrow band).
TX hybrid combining is available for 2 or 4 carriers. TX filter combining is good for up to8 carriers with the full extended FICOM and up to 6 carriers with the new FICOM6.
• FICOM: Only TX combining, no receiver path integrated. An additional DIAMCOmodule and also HPDU might be needed.
• FICOM6: One basic combining module with filter combining for up to 6 TX. Addition-ally, a complete receiver path for diversity reception is integrated.
All DUAMCO, FDUAMCO and MFDUAMCO modules contain two independent sectionswith equal functionality, that is two separate antennas are handled by those combiner devices.
• DUAMCO 2:2 : Two basic combining modules, no hybrid TX combining
• DUAMCO 4:2 : Two basic combining modules, each with hybrid combining for 2 TX
• DUAMCO 8:2: Two basic combining modules, each with hybrid combining for 4 TX
• FDUAMCO: Two basic combining modules, each with switchable hybrid combiningfor up to 2 TX. An expansion to 4 TX for each module may be done by the COAMCOmodule.
• MFDUAMCO: Two basic combining modules. For hybrid TX combining the add-on
module HYBRID4 is requested.

5.1 MFDUAMCOThe MFDUAMCO (multi-standard FDUAMCO) is the successor of DUAMCO andFDUAMCO and offers a flexible way to combine by using the additional HYBRID4 and
COAMCO8 modules.Maximum number of TRXs to be connected:
• 2 TRX s with MFDUAMCO
• 4 TRXs with MFDUAMCO in combination with a HYBRID 4
• 8 TRXs with MFDUAMCO in combination with a HYBRID4 and a COAMCO 8
g The frequency band of the MFDUAMCO must correspond to the frequency band of the concerning cell to be served.
Design and function
The MFDUAMCO consists of two (identical) modules, a remote electrical tilt (RET,hardware prepared) and a common part. Each module contains a duplex filter to be fedto a common antenna. The duplex filter combines the RX and the TX paths together.The gain of the receive path is switchable to an amplifier multicoupler (AMCO) or a mul-ticoupler (MUCO) configuration (see below Operating modes for MFDUAMCO ).
Each RX path consists of:• the low noise amplifier (LNA), two branches• an attenuator (MUCO mode only)• four equivalent outputs• a cascade output
The LNA ensures a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case of malfunction in one of the amplifiers, the RX gain of the MFDUAMCO decreases by about6 dB.
The LNA provides 4 outputs of the amplified received signal. These output ports are con-nected to the corresponding carrier units by jumper cables.
Each TX path consists of:• an isolator for the TX input• an antenna supervision unit (ASU)• jumpers for combining mode setting
The isolator for the TX input protects the power amplifiers (PAs) inside the carrier unitsfrom each other in order to assure the required inter-modulation suppression.
The MFDUAMCO detects a VSWR alarm and generates a failure information towardsthe O&M (CAN bus interface). This information is subdivided in several levels with thefollowing characteristics:
Module 0 of MFDUAMCO is prepared for a RET interface (to be provided via triplexer atantenna output ANT0).Module 0 supports single feeder configuration (SFC) where the power supply and thesignaling for the single feeder DTMA (SDTMA) are provided also via triplexer at antennaoutput ANT0.

Configurations
Depending on the use of additional hardware, the MFDUAMCO can be used in a:• 2:2 configuration
for combining up to 4 RX and 1 TX paths to each of the 2 antenna connectors.• 4:2 configuration in combination with a HYBRID4 module• 8:2 configuration in combination with a HYBRID4 and a COAMCO8 module
These configurations differ in the number of carriers to be combined to two antennas.
MFDUAMCO-HYBRID4 configuration
The combination of MDFUMACO and HYBRID4 provides a 4:2 configuration which isused for combining 4 RX and 2 TX paths to each of the 2 antenna connectors.
Each of the two modules of a HYBRID4 provides two RF input ports and one RF outputport to combine the TX paths from several carrier units to one connector.
Figure 14 HYBRID4 block diagram
MFDUAMCO-HYBRID4-COAMCO8 configuration
In combination with a COAMCO8, eight TRXs can be connected (see COAMCO8 ).
For an 8:2 configuration , a COAMCO8 unit is used in conjunction withMFDUAMCO/HYBRID4 in 4:2 configuration. The modules provide two antenna portsand eight TX inputs.
The COAMCO8 combines two additional carriers per module with the two carriers fromthe output TXout(4) of the HYBRID4, feeds the four carriers back to the input TXin(3) of the MFDUAMCO and provides four additional RX outputs per module from the cascad-ing output of the MFDUAMCO.

5.2 FDUAMCO / DUAMCOThe (F)DUAMCO (flexible duplexer amplifier multicoupler) modules contain duplexfilters in order to combine the transmit and receive paths to one antenna connector. The
receive and transmit part of the duplex filter, respectively, provide the substantial part of the receive and transmit band filtering required by GSM 05.05, 11.21 andJTC J-STD-007.
The type of (F)DUAMCO required depends on the carriers to be combined to theantenna system. Its modules can be assigned to the same cell or to different cells.

Each RX path consists of:• the low noise amplifier (LNA), 2 branches• an attenuator (MUCO mode only)• multiple (4/8) equivalent outputs• a cascade output
The LNA ensures a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case of malfunction in one of the amplifiers, the RX gain of the (F)DUAMCO decreases by about6 dB.
The LNA provides 4/8 outputs of the amplified received signal. These output ports areconnected to the corresponding carrier units by jumper cables.
Each TX path consists of:• an isolator for the TX input• an antenna supervision unit (ASU)• for DUAMCO 4:2 and DUAMCO 8:2: hybrid coupler • for FDUAMCOs: jumpers for combining mode setting
The isolator for the TX input protects the power amplifiers (PAs) inside the carrier unitsfrom each other in order to assure the required inter-modulation suppression.
The (F)DUAMCO detects a VSWR alarm and generates a failure information towardsthe O&M (CAN bus interface). This information is subdivided in several levels with thefollowing characteristics:
Except in 2:2 mode, a hybrid coupler feeds two TX inputs together to the TX path.
The common part consists of:• a DC/DC converter plus a power distribution unit (PDU)• an O&M unit
The DC/DC converter supplies the (F)DUAMCO itself. The PDU provides the DC power
supply and the alarm monitoring of the TMAs. Alarm monitoring is done with a signalinginterface between (F)DUAMCO and TMA.

Figure 19 MDUX block diagram
The installation of an MDUX needs two horizontal adjacent ACOM slots.
The TX input port can either be used to connect one TRX directly or alternatively toreceive the signal from a 3dB hybrid (using one out of six 3dB hybrids of the moduleHYBRID6, see below). The 3dB hybrid itself combines the TX signals of 2 TRXs oper-ating in the same frequency band.
The 4 RX ports can be used to connect the RX paths of 2 TRXs and the RX-diversity
paths of 2 other TRXs to one duplexer. So the MDUX on the receive side is ready for doing a 1:1 or 2:1 combining per duplexer – the duplexers are prepared to implementRX diversity together with a second duplexer.
The 6 duplexers can be freely assigned to different cells as required at the particular BTS site. This means that a cell is built using at least one duplexer in case diversity isnot required or at least 2 duplexers in case diversity is required.
The number of duplexers used per cell depends on:• Diversity required or not• Number of TRXs in the cell• Usage of hybrid modules
If a TMA is needed, a low-gain TMA with external BIAS -T and power supply must beused.
A discrete alarm line instead of the CAN -bus is used to indicate a failure of the MDUX-internal DC/DC converter. The alarm line is connected to the ACTC module. The MDUXdoes not provide VSWR supervision and LNA alarms.

5.4 COAMCO8The COAMCO8 (co-amplifier multicoupler) can be used in combination with anFDUAMCO or an MFDUAMCO or an MDUX.
The combinations with COAMCO8 provide an 8:2 configuration by including 4 additionalcarriers ( TRX s):
• with FDUAMCO in 4:2 mode (see Figure 23 )
• with MFDUAMCO and HYBRID4 (see Figure 24 )
• with MDUX and HYBRID6
A COAMCO8 unit consists of two identical modules, containing a transmit and a receivepath each. Each module of the COAMCO8 combines two additional carriers with the twoTX inputs of the MFDUAMCO or FDUAMCO.
In sum, the COAMCO8 combines eight carrier units: either in combination with
FDUAMCO (jumpered in 4:2 mode) or in combination with MFDUAMCO/HYBRID4.

5.5 Antenna line equipment MHA/TMAThe MHA (mast head amplifier) and TMA (tower mounted amplifier) are optional modules that connect the antenna with the BTS in order to amplify the receive signal and
pass through the transmit signal.The configuration with MHA or TMA is advantageous because of the compensation of the antenna feeder cable losses.
The TMA contains two duplex filters, each on one RF connector, to separate andcombine the receive and transmit path inside the TMA.
In cell configuration with an MHA or TMA, the true system RX sensitivity is guaranteedat the antenna, independent of the antenna feeder cable attenuation.
One MHA is needed for two RX paths of MFDUAMCO/FICOM6.
One single TMA (STMA) is needed for each RX path of (F)DUAMCO. One dual TMA(DTMA) is needed for two RX paths of (F)DUAMCO.
When MHA/TMA is used, the MFDUAMCO/FICOM6 or (F)DUAMCO, respecitvely,works in the MUCO (multicoupler) mode, see Operating modes for FICOM6 , Operatingmodes for MFDUAMCO or Operating modes for (F)DUAMCO .
The DC power for the MHA/TMA is supplied by the MHA/TMA DC power supply withinthe (M)(F)DUAMCO.
The encoder/decoder of the MHA/TMA signaling unit generates a separate alarm for each MH/A/TMA by monitoring the DC current consumption of each unit.
Different types of MHA for different frequency bands exist:• MDTA (850 MHz)• MDGA (E-GSM, 900 MHz)• MDDA (1800 MHz)• MDPA (1900 MHz)
Two kinds of TMA exist: the "single TMA" and the "dual TMA".
The single TMA (types TMA and STMA) consists of:• 2 duplex filters to split RX and TX paths• the low noise amplifier (LNA) to amplify RX signals• "Fail Safe Functionality" to ensure operation in case of faulty LNA
A dual TMA (type DTMA) consists of two identical, independent single TMA modules.Two (S)TMAs may be replaced by one DTMA unit of the same frequency band.
The following figures show the block diagrams of the TMA single and dual and MHA:

5.6 FICOM6The FICOM6 (filter combiner with 6 tunable narrowband filters) is the successor of theFICOM modules (old FICOM modules were not available in BS-240XL II) and provides
the same functionality like an MFDUAMCO module.The installation of a FICOM6 needs two horizontal adjacent ACOM slots.
RF power combining / tuning modes
The low loss power addition is carried out by combining the outputs of remote tunablenarrowband filters (TNFs) inside the FICOM6. These TNFs are remotely tuned to thechannel frequency of the corresponding carrier. It is possible to combine a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 TX signals in each FICOM6.
A TNF is first coarse tuned to the desired channel. If RF power is supplied to the TNF itautomatically performs a fine tuning to ensure the best RF performance. With this auto-matic tuning process, the drift of the passband filter center frequency is compensated.
Therefore, the FICOM6 can only be used with baseband frequency hopping, as retuningof the TNF frequency requires up to 5 seconds.
For a large number of carriers (6 and higher), baseband frequency hopping has only anegligible disadvantage compared to synthesizer frequency hopping.
Design and function
The FICOM6 consists of two modules and a common part.One of the modules (module 1) contains an RX path. The other module (module 0)contains a duplex filter to be fed to a common antenna. The duplex filter combines theRX and the TX paths together. The gain of the receive path is switchable to an amplifier multicoupler (AMCO) or a multicoupler (MUCO) configuration (see below Operatingmodes for FICOM6 ).
Each RX path consists of:• the low noise amplifier (LNA), two branches• an attenuator (for MUCO and AMCO mode)• six equivalent outputs• a cascade output
The LNA ensures a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case of malfunction in one of the amplifiers, the RX gain of the FICOM6 decreases by about6 dB.
The LNA provides six outputs of the amplified received signal. These output ports areconnected to the corresponding carrier units by jumper cables.
The RX signal from main antenna port ANT0 (see Figure 27 ) is passed through to theduplexer, where the RX bandpass filter section selects the uplink band signal. Normally,this signal is routed to the LNA over a jumper line connected at the front plate of themodule (RXin, RXout). This bridge is only omitted when the BTS needs a simplex RXinput, because the RX signal is not provided directly by the antenna but by an RX signaldistribution unit, e.g. another co-sited BTS or some 3rd party RX multicoupler.
LNA1 is optimized for low noise figure and can be by-passed with a switch in case a highgain TMA is providing sufficient signal amplification (MUCO mode). A failure of LNA1generates a major alarm in the O&M system. The attenuator can be adjusted over arange of 12 dB (in steps of 1 dB) to set the total gain of the RX path from antenna portto TRX input port to the nominal value. The attenuator works in both modes (AMCO and

MUCO) to allow correct gain setting for a great variety of antenna system configurations:with or without TMA, high or low gain TMA and a range of feed line loss.The activation of the by-pass switch and the adjustment of the attenuator can be donevia DIP switches or O&M commands.
LNA2 is optimized for high output power and linearity to direct up to 6 RX outputs to theTRX units through the power splitter and a further cascading output (RXCA). LNA2 is atwo-branch amplifier for enhanced reliability. A failure of one branch of LNA2 generatesa minor alarm, and a failure of both branches of LNA2 generates a major alarm in theO&M system.
The RX path from antenna port ANT1 (RX diversity) is equal to the main RX path withthe following exceptions: The antenna port ANT1 is directly connected with the RXbandpass filter, without any duplexer. The RXin/RXout connectors are not neededbecause the antenna port ANT1 is a simplex port only. The RX output ports direct thediversity RX inputs to up to 6 TRXs.
The TX path consists of:• six tunable narrowband filters (TNFs)• an isolator for the TX input• an antenna supervision unit (ASU)• jumpers for combining mode setting
The isolator for the TX input protects the power amplifiers (PAs) inside the carrier unitsfrom each other in order to assure the required inter-modulation suppression.
The TX signals from up to 6 TRXs, each operating on a different carrier frequency, arepassed through TNFs. The filter passband is just wide enough for a single GSM radiofrequency channel and its center frequency is tuned by an electric motor under controlof the module's micro controller. The TNF outputs are summed and routed to theduplexer. The duplexer passes the composite TX signal through its TX bandpass filter section towards the antenna port. The DUBIAS allows coupling DC supply current andcontrolling signal on the RF line, which are needed to control active antenna-near devices like MHA, DTMA and RET . Finally, the VSWR sensor measures the VSWR onthe feed line and outputs the composite TX signal to the main antenna port ANT0.
The FICOM6 detects a VSWR alarm and generates a failure information towards theO&M (CAN bus interface). This information is subdivided in several levels with the fol-lowing characteristics:
The common part consists of:• a DC/DC converter plus a power distribution unit (PDU)• an O&M unit
The DC/DC converter supplies the FICOM6 itself. The PDU provides the DC power supply and the alarm monitoring of the TMAs. Alarm monitoring is done with a signalinginterface between FICOM6 and TMA.
The O&M unit transmits error messages to the COBA via a CAN bus.

Operating modes for FICOM6
The FICOM6 has two operating modes. During the BTS commissioning, the RX pathmust be switched into one of these modes (by DIP switches):
• AMCO mode• MUCO mode
The high amplifying AMCO mode is used if the antenna is directly connected to theFICOM6 (without a preamplifier TMA). The FICOM6 gain is around 20/22 dB (see Table21 , also for RX CA gain).
The low amplifying MUCO mode is used in case of cascading the FICOM6 with a pre-amplifier MHA or TMA. A built-in attenuator provides a constant gain betweenMHA/TMA and FICOM6, independent of the cable loss. The power supply and the sig-naling of the MHA/TMA are provided by the FICOM6 via triplexer at the antenna outputs.The gain is reduced to about 2 dB (see Table 21 , also for RX CA gain). The gain of theFICOM6 can be matched to the cable loss and the TMA gain with the DIP switch. Thisadjustment is only done once during the installation of the BTS by the service personnel.
The gain adjustment is performed at commissioning by setting the attenuator in FICOM6by dip switches, or, from BR10 onward, by using the appropriate configuration commandin the O&M system. See the Commissioning manuals for details.
The selected mode can be read by O&M software via CAN bus interface.
The following features of O&M support are available from BR10 onward:
• RX gain adjustment is configurable via LMT and remote via RC , even missing or wrong DIP switch settings can be corrected from remote. In this case, the LED(TMA) is permanently green flashing.
• VSWR thresholds for warning and alarming is configurable via O&M command.
• 3rd party TMAs (low gain, no fault signaling) are supported by O&M software. TheRX amplifier mode and the TMA power supply can be enabled/disabled indepen-dently, allowing AMCO mode and TMA power supply in parallel.

5.7 Diplexer The diplexer gives the possibility to use one antenna feeder cable for both GSM 850 withGSM 1900 and GSM 900 with GSM 1800 frequencies. One diplexer is needed to
combine the two different frequencies at the BTS side and the other one to separate thefrequencies near the antennas.
The diplexer offers the possibility to reduce the number of antenna feeder cables in allcases where GSM 900 and GSM 1800, GSM 1900 or GSM 850 and GSM 1900 feeder cables have to be installed in parallel. For example: An existing GSM 900 network willbe extended by a GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 network to implement a dual band network.

FCC issues (for U.S. market only)
7 FCC issues (for U.S. market only)In this chapter, you find the power reduction for corner frequencies of carrier units avail-able in the USA. These values are only relevant for the U.S. market.
Revised FCC certification for ECU / FlexCU 850
For ECUs/FlexCUs with 869.2 and 893.8 MHz frequencies, in order to fulfill the FCC requirements in the USA, the maximum transmitting power of the corner frequencies of the GSM 850 band (channel numbers 128 and 251, and 869.2 MHz and 893.8 MHzrespectively) is decreased for all carrier units available for the U.S. market.
This function is required by law and is therefore implemented as a fixed software com-ponent, which cannot be changed or removed locally.
The BTS evaluates the mobile country code (MCC) provided by the BSC via the attribute"cellGlobalIdentity". If the MCC indicates "USA", the BTS reduces the output power of the corner frequencies dependent on the hardware type of the carrier unit. The followingtable represents the power reduction values for GMSK and 8PSK modulation.

Revised FCC certification for ECU / FlexCU 1900
For ECUs/FlexCUs with 1930.2 and 1989.8 MHz frequencies, in order to fulfill the FCCrequirements in the USA, the maximum transmitting power of the corner frequencies of
the GSM 1900 band (channel numbers 512 and 810, and 1930.2 MHz and 1989.8 MHzrespectively) is decreased for all carrier units available for the U.S. market.
