1. GENERAL

The 3000 Series Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) long-haul microwave radio systems
are designed for the transmission of synchronous transport module level 1 (STM-1) or optical
carrier level-3 (OC-3).

They operate in frequency bands from 4 to 11 GHz using 64 or 128 Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (QAM) as shown in Table 1, System Menu and have a transmission capacity of
STM-1 or OC-3 per radio frequency (RF) channel.

Besides the long-haul systems, NEC offers a product line of STM-1/OC-3 radio systems that
includes the 18/23/26 GHz 155MB (32 QAM) systems for short haul links. For those systems,
please refer to the technical description MTD-PL-026.

The 4 to 11 GHz SDH radio systems can be accommodated using vacant RF channels in the
existing Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) radio systems without modifying the existing
PDH systems.

The 4 to 11 GHz SDH radio systems are fully SDH compatible Network Elements (NE's). The
systems are comprised, apart from aerial equipment, of the following (see Figure 1 and
Figure 2):

• Transmitter/Receiver (TRP)

• Modulator/Demodulator (MDP) including radio protection switching

Operation, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P) functions are built into the
MDP. The orderwire telephone circuit is also included in the MDP.

3000 SERIES 4-11GHz STM-1/OC-3 MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM MTD-SY-013/120703

2. FEATURES

2.1 Conformity with the latest Standards

All NEC NE's are fully SDH compatible and conform to the relevant ITU-R and ITU-T
Recommendations and European Telecommunications Standards (ETS).

2.2 Advanced Technologies

Throughout the SDH radio system, NEC's own advanced technologies are used. Intensive
use of Microwave Integrated Circuits (MIC's) and Hybrid IC's (HIC's) makes the TRP durable
and compact. In addition, custom-made large-scale integrated circuits (LSI's) are applied. For
example, the new digital MODEM is incorporated into a single LSI chip developed by NEC
specifically for radio equipment. Furthermore, low-power high-speed complementary metal
oxide semiconductors (CMOS) LSI’s are extensively used, making the equipment more
compact and reducing the power consumption.

2.3 Mounting in standard ETSI Racks

All sub-racks in NEC's SDH Family including radio, fiber optics transmission systems and
add-drop multiplexers, are mounted in standard 2,200 mm high ETSI racks which meet
prETS 300 119-3 (refer to Figure 1). The width of the electronics is 500 mm (standard),
allowing 50 mm wide cable ducts at both sides of the rack. This vendor-independent solution
provides full front access and simplifies future expansion. Standard SDH radio systems are
shipped fully rack-mounted and intra-rack wired, enabling easy and quick installation. Fans to
cool the equipment are not required.

2.4 Various System Applications and Easy Expandability

Various system applications such as N+1 Frequency Diversity (FD) and Hot-Standby (HS)
protection switching systems are available. The system can easily be expanded by adding
modules and/or subracks to the existing configuration to add transmission capacity. The
maximum protected transmission capacity is 11+1. The N+1 protection switchover is hitless,
resulting in error free switchover operation.

2.5 Superior Low Noise Figure

The very low noise figure of the receivers results in a high system gain.

MTD-SY-013/120703 3000 SERIES 4-11GHz STM-1/OC-3 MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM

2.6 Superior Automatic Transmit Power Control

NEC’s SDH radio equipment is equipped with Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)
function as standard. The ATPC function reduces interference against neighboring systems,
reduces the adverse effect of “up fading” propagation, improves residual BER performance,
reduces power consumption and improves equipment reliability. Furthermore, the ATPC has
significant capability to increase TX power 2dB above the normal maximum (e.g., maximum
+35 dBm for 64QAM) when bit errors are detected in deep fading condition. Accordingly,
-3
system gain improves by approximately 2dB at BER=10 . The ATPC is also available in the
systems such as video distribution systems that employ different numbers of go and return
channels.

2.7 Superior In-Phase (IP) and Minimum Dispersion (MID)


combining Space Diversity System

In order to reduce the adverse effects of multipath fading and to increase link availability,
IP+MID space diversity method is effective for long distance hops or a hop where reflecting
wave exists. The IP+MID space diversity combining method provides greater improvement of
in-band dispersion.

2.8 Electrical Differential Absolute Delay Equalization (DADE) for


Space Diversity System

Standard equipped electrical DADE is effective for quick installation and easy adjustment.
The DADE operates to equalize absolute delay difference between main and space diversity
received signals.

2.9 Contiguous Type branching Circuit

The optional contiguous type branching circuit is applied for XPIC systems in order to
minimize adjacent frequency separation (80MHz to 40MHz, 60MHz to 30MHz). It reduces the
losses associated with the hybrid circuits currently employed in circulator type branching
circuit.

2.10 Waveguide or Coaxial RF Interface

Depending upon installation conditions and link performance, waveguide or coaxial cable type
RF interface can be selected. The waveguide type provides low branching circuit loss while
the coaxial cable type facilitates easy installation.

3000 SERIES 4-11GHz STM-1/OC-3 MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM MTD-SY-013/120703

2.11 Superior Error Performance with MLCM plus R-S

Multi-Level Coding Modulation (MLCM) plus Reed-Solomon (R-S) coding is used as a forward
error correction (FEC) system to ensure a superior error performance. The merits of MLCM
are:
-3
i) Superior coding gain (approximately 2.5 dB at BER=10 without R-S)

ii) Low coding redundancy enabling transmission of one or two 2 Mbit/s wayside (WS)
channels in the Radio Frame Complementary Overhead (RFCOH) *

iii) Low operation speed of decoder.

* Note: 64QAM System: 2 x 2 Mbit/s or 2 x 1.5 Mbit/s


128QAM System: 1 x 2 Mbit/s or 2 x 1.5 Mbit/s

The merits of R-S coding are:


-6
i) Superior coding gain (approximately 1.0dB improvement at BER=10 )

ii) Superior block error correction

iii) Superior residual BER performance

R-S coding FEC is available only in the 64QAM system. Customer can disable the R-S
coding FEC function on site, if required.

2.12 Superior Adaptive Equalizers

NEC’s SDH radio equipment is equipped with a baseband type Time Domain Adaptive
Equalizer (TDAE). The TDAE consists of Linear equalizer as forward taps and Decision
Feedback Equalizer (DFE) as backward taps. Adoption of the latest in NEC’s own LSI
technology significantly enhances the TDAE capability to equalize waveform distortion and
intersymbol interference in the time domain. Accordingly, the TDAE can equalize minimum
phase fading completely.

2.13 Various Synchronization Clock

The timing of the radio system can be done using two different external sources:

a) Reference clock (2 MHz input, optional 2 or 1.5 Mbit/s)

b) Clock derived from incoming signal. If one reference source fails, the system
automatically switches to the other source, if available. If both external sources
fail, the system automatically switches to the internal oscillator. This is all in
accordance with ITU-T G.783. Two clock oscillators are provided for protection.

-8-
MTD-SY-013/120703 3000 SERIES 4-11GHz STM-1/OC-3 MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM

2.14 Synchronization Status Message (SSM)

NEC’s SDH radio equipment supports synchronization status messages (SSM) in accordance
with ITU-T Recommendation. The SSM transports reference timing information and an
indication of the quality level of the source generating this timing information.

2.15 Abundant SOH Termination of Line Section

NEC's SDH radio has the standard feature of SOH termination in two directions: not only for
the radio section but also for the electrical or optical line section which is terminated at the
radio station. For example, the incoming line signal quality can be monitored. This added
value provides real and cost-effective total manageability of the communications network and
enables easier fault location between the line, multiplex and radio systems.

2.16 Various STM-1 Interfaces

The system can be equipped with an electrical or an optical STM-1 interface for each
channel. The optical interface is available for two different cable lengths: for intra-office and
long haul inter-office applications.

2.17 Multiplex Section Protection (MSP)

This function enables the connection of a 1+1 redundancy for optical fiber cable directly to the
radio equipment in accordance with ITU-T G.783 (Annex A 1:1 compatible with 1:n). This
function is available as an option for various protection schemes, such as 1+1, N+1 and HS
systems.

2.18 Bi-polar Switching

This function enables 1+1 redundancy for electrical interface. This function is available as an
option to preclude traffic outage due to failure of a single, common electrical interface.

2.19 Abundant Digital Service Channels and Wayside Traffics

In addition to the STM-1/OC-3 main traffic signal, the following digital service channels
(DSCs) and wayside (WS) channels are available in all radio hops. These channels are
transported in the RFCOH and can be dropped and inserted at every terminal and repeater
stations.

DSC: Four 64 kbit/s plus one 192 kbit/s, or five 64kbit/s


WS: One 2Mbit/s or two 1.5Mbit/s for 128QAM system
Two 2Mbit/s or two 1.5Mbit/s for 64QAM system

-9-
3000 SERIES 4-11GHz STM-1/OC-3 MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM MTD-SY-013/120703

2.20 Alarm, Status and Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is built-in, including:

a) Performance parameters as in ITU-T G.826

b) Counting the number of protection switchover operations (for 1+1 and N+1)

c) Accumulation of the failed time for individual regular channels.

The operator can perform monitoring and control functions, by using the LCT (Local Craft
Terminal), or by using a Network Management System (NMS).

Furthermore, OAM&P facilities enable monitoring and control of external equipment such as
housekeeping facilities via a parallel interface.

2.21 Orderwire Telephone Channels

Express Orderwire (OW) and Omnibus OW are available on NEC's SDH Radio, using the
SOH bytes E1 and E2. These channels provide voice communications throughout the entire
SDH Radio network, using selective calling facilities by means of Dual Tone Multifrequency
(DTMF) signaling.

2.22 TMN Standard Compliant

Management features are designed in accordance with ITU-T Rec. M.3000 and G.784. This
enables interconnection to TMN-based network management system (NMS) from NEC or
other manufacturers by means of the Q3 interface.

2.23 Single Design Concept

NEC’s SDH family includes a wide variety of transmission systems, such as the radio, add-
drop multiplexer and NMS, thus opening a full range of configurations for various
applications. As an example, a ring closure (see Figure 4) is possible with the combination of
NEC's SMS-150V add-drop multiplexer and the 3000 Series SDH radio. Such systems have a
self-healing ring function.

3. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The typical system architecture of a 3+1 FD/SD terminal station is shown in Figure 5 and of a
repeater station in Figure 6.

An optical or electrical STM-1 signal is fed to the interface units of the Modulator-
Demodulator (MDP). SOH termination process of the line side and SOH insertion process of
the radio side are performed in the interface units.

Then, the signal is fed to the modulator section of the MODEM, which produces a 64 QAM or
128 QAM modulated IF signal. For the modulation schemes and system menu, please refer
to Table 1. The modulated IF signal is fed to the transmitter section of the TRX which
converts the IF signal to the RF signal.

At the opposite station, the RF signal is received by the receiver section of TRX, which
converts the RF signal to an IF signal. The IF signal is demodulated to the digital signal and
error correction is performed by the demodulator section of the MODEM.

The demodulated baseband signal is fed to the interface units of MDP, which terminates the
SOH bytes of the radio side and inserts the SOH bytes for the line side, and if applicable,
provides hitless switching and electrical-optical conversion.

Furthermore, 1+1 redundancy for electrical interface by bi-polar switching and 1+1
redundancy for optical interface are provided as optional functions.

4. OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION

This chapter describes the operation of the transmitter-receiver, modulator-demodulator and


OAM&P (Operation, Administration, Maintenance & Provisioning).

4.1 Transmitter-Receiver (TRX)


The Transmitter-Receiver consists of a TX RF, TX SYNTH, FET AMP, DC-DC CONV, INTFC
BOARD, RX RF, RX SYNTH and RX IF.

TX RF

The TX RF contains an IF AMP and TX frequency converter. The IF AMP amplifies the input
IF signal. The frequency converter converts the 140 MHz IF signal into an RF signal by
mixing it with the local oscillator signal generated by the TX SYNTH.

TX SYNTH

The TX SYNTH contains Automatic Phase Controlled Oscillator (APC OSC) utilizing a
frequency-synthesized system that features high frequency stability and easy frequency
setting.

FET AMP

The FET AMP consists of a linearizer and internal matched FET amplifiers. The operational
output level is controlled with Automatic Level Control (ALC).

DC-DC CONV

The DC-DC CONV consists of a switching regulator and provides stabilized low voltage
outputs for the Transmitter-Receiver using the primary DC input.

INTFC BOARD

The INTFC BOARD has the capability of Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) and
communication to the CTRL module in the Modulator and Demodulator (MDP) section. The
INTFC BOARD generates an RF output power control signal depending on the RF receiver
input power level at the opposite station. The RF output power is varied between +2 dB and
-12dB of the nominal TX power in 1-dB step.

RX RF

The RX RF consists of a pre-RF amplifier, RX frequency converter and IF amplifier. The pre-
RF amplifier with high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has an AGC function to avoid any
distortion due to overload. The RX frequency converter contains a wideband, image-
canceling, balanced mixer and converts the RF signal into an IF signal.

The SD RX RF (optional, for space diversity) consists of a pre-RF amplifier, RX frequency


converter, endless phase shifter (EPS) and IF amplifier. The pre-RF amplifier with HEMT
amplifier has an AGC function to avoid distortion due to overload. The RX frequency
converter contains a wideband, image-canceling, balanced mixer, which mixes the received
RF signal with the signal from the EPS and produces an IF signal. The EPS automatically

- 15 -
3000 SERIES 4-11GHz STM-1/OC-3 MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM MTD-SY-013/120703

shifts the phase of the local oscillator signal received from the RX SYNTH according to the
control signal from the IF COMB in the RX IF.

RX SYNTH

The RX SYNTH contains APC OSC with a frequency-synthesized system featuring high
frequency stability and easy frequency setting.

RX IF

The RX IF consists of an IF BPF, delay equalizer, an IF amplifier and IF COMB (optional, for
space diversity). The IF BPF eliminates the out-band noise in the IF signal. The delay
equalizer compensates for the delay distortion caused by the waveguide feeder of aerial
system. The IF amplifier amplifies the IF signal to the specified level with AGC operation.

The optional IF COMB is used for the space diversity system. The IF COMB comprises the IF
combiner, MID combiner and SD control. The IF combiner detects the phase difference
between the two output IF signals from the RX RF and SD RX RF in the phase difference
detector (PD), generates digital control signal to control the EPS in the RX RF and acts as an
in-phase combiner. The MID combiner detects in-band distortion of combined signal level and
generates the control signal to the EPS. The MID combiner is selected in the normal
condition. The IF combiner is selected when S/N of combined signal is degraded.

The delay time difference between the receive signals from the main antenna and SD
antenna is compensated with an electrical IF differential absolute delay equalizer (DADE).

4.2 Modulator-Demodulator

4.2.1 Modulator-Demodulator (MODEM) Module


The modulator-demodulator (MODEM) consists of an R-S encoder, MLC encoder, QAM
modulator, QAM demodulator, time domain adaptive equalizer (TDAE), MLC decoder, R-S
decoder function.

The R-S encoder performs stream conversion and the data streams are Reed Solomon
encoded (only for 64QAM system).

The MLC encoder performs stream conversion. The converted streams undergo digital
processing such as overhead bit multiplexing, scrambling and differential encoding. These
signal streams are MLCM encoded and drive the QAM modulator to generate the IF signal
which has amplitude-phase points of 64 or 128 different levels for signal mapping.

The QAM demodulator coherently demodulates the 128 or 64 QAM modulated IF signal and
regenerates the data signals.

The TDAE dynamically compensates for the delay and amplitude distortion of regenerated
data signals, which are caused by multipath fading. The TDAE contains a ten tap linear
equalizer, a six taps DFE function, and a control signal generator for the QAM demodulator.

The MLC decoder in this position performs error correction by soft-decision Viterbi decoding,
differential decoding, descrambling, demultiplexing and finally stream conversion.

The R-S decoder performs error correction by Reed Solomon decoding (only for 64QAM
system).

4.2.2 WS INTFC Module (Optional)


The WS INTFC provides the access to the wayside channels transported in the radio frame
complementary overhead (RFCOH). The following numbers of wayside channels are
available:

- One 2Mbit/s or two 1.5Mbit/s for 128QAM system


- Two 2Mbit/s or two 1.5Mbit/s for 64QAM system

4.2.3 OH INTFC Module


The OH INTFC module provides five (5) V.11 contra-directional interfaces to access the SOH
(RSOH and MSOH) bytes in the STM-1/OC-3 frame. The MSOH can not be accessed at
repeater equipment.

4.2.4 OH EXT Module (Optional)


In addition to the interface provided by the OH INTFC, the OH EXT module provides five (5)
V.11 contra-directional, three (3) G.711/G.712 voice frequency and three (3) G.703 co-
directional interfaces for the 64 kbit/s channels.

4.2.5 N+1 Protection Switchover Control


N+1 protection switching is provided by the protection switchover control circuitry consisting
of the SWO PROC (Switchover Processor Unit) module and SWO EXP (Switchover
Expansion) module.

The SWO PROC module contains the control logic for N+1 protection switching and interface
logic circuits for the protection channel and regular channels-1 to -3 in the basic rack. Alarm,
status and performance monitoring facilities are also provided in the SWO PROC module,
which processes stores and interfaces this information to the OAM&P section.
