7. FibeAir 1500HP/RFU-HP OCBs

FibeAir 1500HP/RFU-HP supports two types of OCBs:
 Old OCB
 OCB
Both OCBs are compatible with all RFU-HP/1500HP part numbers.
Old OCB OCB
Note: This installation guide describes the installation of both

types. You will need to verify which type you are using.

7.1 Old OCB

The Old OCB has two types, Type 1 and Type 2. The main difference between
the two types is the circulator direction. Depending on the configuration, OCB
Type 1 or Type2 is used together with waveguide shorts, waveguide loads, U-
Bends, or couplers.
Each OCB has four waveguide access points: two in the front, and two at the
rear. The diversity access point is optional.
If the system is not configured for diversity, all the relevant access points on
the OCB must be terminated using waveguide shorts.
The two OCB types (with and without IFC Space Diversity) have different part
numbers.
The following block diagrams show the difference between the two OCBs and
the additional Diversity Circulator block which is added in some Diversity
configurations.

7.2 OCB
The OCB is optimized for configurations that do not use IFC Space Diversity.
To support IFC Space Diversity, a diversity block is added.
The OCB has just one type, and can be connected to an antenna via a flexible
waveguide.
The OCB connection is at the rear of the OCB. It includes proprietary
accessories (different than those used for the older OCB).
Each OCB has three waveguide access points: The In/Out port is located at the
rear of the OCB.
The OCB ports include:
 Tx port
 Rx Port
 Diversity port
If the system is not configured for diversity, all the relevant access points on
the OCB must be terminated using waveguide shorts. Unused Rx ports will be
terminated with a WG termination.
7.2.1 OCB Components

The OCB includes the following components:
DCB (Diversity Circulator Block) Coupler Kit
U-Bend S-Bend Pole-Mount Kit

New OCB components include the following:

 RF Filters – RF Filters are used for specific frequency channels and Tx/Rx
separation. The filters are attached to the OCB, and each RFU contains one
Rx and one Tx filter. In a Space Diversity configuration, with IF combining,
each RFU contains two Rx filters (which combine the IF signals) and one
Tx filter. The filters can be replaced without removing the OCB.
 DCB (Diversity Circulator Block) – An external block which is added in
Space Diversity configurations. The DCB is connected to the diversity port
and can chain two OCBs.
 Coupler Kit – The coupler kit is used for 1+1 Hot Standby configurations.
 U Bend – The U Bend connects the chained DCB (Diversity Circulator
Block) in N+1/N+ 0 configurations.
 S Bend – The S Bend connects the chained OCB (Outdoor Circulator Block)
in N+1 /N+ 0 configurations.
 Pole Mount Kit – The Pole Mount Kit can fasten up to five OCBs and the
RFUs to the pole. The kit enables fast and easy installation.

The connections include the following:

 XPIC/RSL – For XPIC functionality and radio signal monitoring.
 IF – Connects the RFU to the IDU.
 Ground – Used for electrical ground.
 Flexible Waveguide – Connects the RFU to the antenna.

18. Grounding the 1500HP/RFU-HP

 The RFU is suitable for installation in a Common Bonding Network (CBN).
 Only copper wire should be used.
 The coaxial port cables should be shielded and grounded at both ends.
 The wire must be at least 14 AWG or thicker.
 Connector and connection surfaces must be plated. Bare conductors must
be coated with antioxidant before crimp connections are made to the
screws.
 FibeAir provides a ground for each drawer, via a one-hole mounted lug
onto a single-point stud. The stud must be installed using a UL-listed ring
tongue terminal, and two star washers for anti-rotation.
 For antenna ports, lightning protection is used that does not permit
transients of a greater magnitude than the following:
 Open Circuit: 1.2-50us 600V
 Short Circuit: 8-20us 300A
 FibeAir’s battery return terminals are in the configuration of an Isolated
DC return (DC-I) and Common DC Return (DC-C).
The grounding point is assembled as shown in the following illustration.
