The nominal downlink input to the BIU (TXin) is 0 dBm±1dB (range: -10dBm to +10dBm).
MBSC0800-040-RU Note that the system will report an error message if the input value is out of range.
MBSC0800-040-RU 5.4.2.2 Adjust RU Downlink Attenuator Adjust the RU downlink value for the specific RU / frequency band as follows: 1. Click on the RU in the topology diagram and the component window will pops up on the right as shown in Figure 51 - RU Attenuator. 2. Downlink Attenuation Value: Input the appropriate values (0dB – 25dB range) 3.
MBSC0800-040-RU 5.4.3 Set Uplink Gain It may be necessary to adjust the Uplink gain of the mBSC-C system in order to achieve a balanced forward and reverse link, or to adjust for other conditions (antenna placement, dynamic range requirements, propagation characteristics at different bands, specific RF design). The MBSC0800-040-RU provides two points of adjustment for uplink gain: 1. Software controlled attenuator for each band in the BIU 2.
MBSC0800-040-RU 5.4.4 Link Verification The MBSC0800-040-RU system is equipped with features that enable the downlink and uplink link to be fine-tuned from the head-end location using common test equipment (RF signal generator and RF power detector). 5.4.4.1 Verify End-to-End Downlink Gain Each RU in the remote node is equipped with a calibrated Downlink Power Detector which will display the average power at the output of the RU.
MBSC0800-040-RU Figure 52 – Up/Down Link Verification 5.4.4.2 Using Uplink Pilot Tone Generator Each RU in the remote node is equipped with an Uplink Pilot Tone Generator which will generate a CW RF tone out of the RU back towards the FIU and BIU.. By measuring the RF power at the RXout port of the BIU the end-to-end uplink system gain can be verified, and band-to-band / node-to-node, variations calibrated without additional test equipment required at the Remote Node.
MBSC0800-040-RU b. Variations in filtering, amplifiers, and optical loss may cause the actual system gain to vary +/- 6 dB. All paths can be normalized by adjusting uplink attenuation settings in the BIU. 3. This procedure should be repeated for each frequency band in the system Note: Uplink Pilot Frequency Switch should be off during normal operations. This function is intended for testing, verifying, and adjusting uplink performance and will interfere with normal operation of the system. 5.
