RF Principals
• RF - System of communication employing electromagnetic waves
(EMW) propagated through space
• EMW travel at the speed of light (300,000 km/s)
• The wave length is determined by the frequency as follows -
c where c is the propagation velocity of electromagnetic

Wave Length 
waves in vacuum (3x108 m/s)

f
• Microwave – refers to very short waves (millimeters) and typically

relates to frequencies above 1GHz:
 300 MHz ~ 1 meter
 10 GHz ~ 3 cm

• Dispersion
• Humidity/gas absorption
• Multipath/ducting
• Atmospheric conditions (refraction)
• Terrain (flatness, type, Fresnel zone clearance, diffraction)
• Climatic conditions (rain zone, temperature)
• Rain attenuation
Parameters Affecting Propagation – Dispersion

• Electromagnetic signal propagating in a physical medium is degraded
because the various wave components (i.e., frequencies, wavelengths)
have different propagation velocities within the physical medium:
• Low frequencies have longer wavelength and refract less

• High frequencies have shorter wavelength and refract more
Page 11

Atmospheric Refraction
• Deflection of the beam towards the ground due to different electrical

characteristics of the atmosphere’s is called Dielectric Constant .
• The dielectric constant depends on pressure, temperature &
humidity in the atmosphere, parameters that are normally decrease
with altitude
• Since waves travel faster through thinner medium, the upper part of the
wave will travel faster than the lower part, causing the beam to bend
downwards, following the curve of earth
With Atmosphere
No Atmosphere
Wave in atmosphere
Page 12
Parameters Affecting Propagation – Multipath

• Multipath occurs when there is more then one beam reaching the receiver
with different amplitude or phase
• Multipath transmission is the main cause of fading in low frequencies
Direct beam
Delayed beam
Parameters Affecting Propagation – Duct

• Atmospheric duct refers to a horizontal layer in the lower atmosphere with
vertical refractive index gradients causing radio signals:
• Remain within the duct
• Follow the curvature of the Earth
• Experience less attenuation in the ducts than they would if the ducts were not
present

Page 13
Parameters Affecting Propagation - Polarization and

Rain
• Raindrops have sizes ranging from 0.1 millimeters to 9 millimeters
mean diameter (above that they tend to break up)
• Smaller drops are called cloud droplets, and their shape is spherical.
• As a raindrop increases in

• size, its shape becomes more
• oblate, with its largest
cross-section facing the
• oncoming airflow.
Large rain drops become
Increasingly
Bottom; flattened on the
very large ones are shaped
like parachutes
Parameters Affecting Propagation – Rain Fading

• Refers to scenarios where signal is absorbed by rain, snow, ice
• Absorption becomes significant factor above 11GHz
• Signal quality degrades
• Represented by “dB/km” parameter which is related the rain
density which represented “mm/hr”
• Rain drops falls as flattened droplet
 V better than H (more immune to rain fading)

Parameters Affecting Propagation – Rain Fading
Heavier rain >> Heavier Atten.
Higher FQ >> Higher Attenuation
Parameters Affecting Propagation – Fresnel Zone
3rd

1. EMW propagate in beams
1st 2. Some beams widen – therefore, their path is longer
TX RX
3. A phase shift is introduced between the direct and indirect
beam
4. Thus, ring zones around the direct line are created
Duct Layer0
Terrain
Page 15
Parameters Affecting Propagation – Fresnel Zone

• Obstacles in the first Fresnel zone will create signals that will be 0 to 90 degrees out
of phase…in the 2nd zone they will be 90 to 270 degrees out of phase…in 3 rd zone,
they will be 270 to 450 degrees out of phase and so on…
• Odd numbered zones are constructive and even numbered zones are destructive.
• When building wireless links, we therefore need to be sure that these zones are kept
free of obstructions.
• In wireless networking the area containing about 40-60 percent of the first Fresnel
zone should be kept free.

Main Parabolic Antenna Types
• Standard performance antennas (SP,LP)

• Used for remote access links with low capacity. Re-using frequencies on adjacent links is not
normally possible due to poor front to back ratio.
• High performance antennas (HP)
• Used for high and low capacity links where only one polarization is used. Re-using
frequencies is possible. Can not be used with co-channel systems.
• High performance dual polarized antennas (HPX)
• Used for high and low capacity links with the possibility to utilize both polarizations. Re-using
frequencies is possible. Can be used for co-channel systems.
• Super high performance dual polarized antennas (HSX)
• Normally used on high capacity links with the possibility to utilize both polarizations. Re-using
frequencies is possible with high interference protection. Ideal for co-channel systems.
• Ultra high performance dual polarized antennas (UHX)

• Normally used on high capacity links with high interference requirements. Re-using
frequencies in many directions is possible. Can be used with co-channel systems.

Page 21
QAM Modulation
• Quadrature Amplitude Modulation employs both phase modulation
(PSK) and amplitude modulation (ASK)
• The input stream is divided into groups of bits based on the number
of modulation states used.
• In 8 QAM, each three bits of input, which provides eight values (0-7)
alters the phase and amplitude of the carrier to derive eight unique
modulation states
• In 64 QAM, each six bits generates 64 modulation states; in 128
QAM, each seven bits generate 128 states, and so on
4QAM 2bits/symbol 256QAM 8bits/symbol

64QAM 6bits/symbol
128QAM 7bits/symbol
Why QAM and not ASK or PSK for higher modulation?

• This is because QAM achieves a greater distance between adjacent points
in the I-Q plane by distributing the points more evenly
• The points on the constellation are more distinct and data errors are
reduced
• Higher modulation >> more bits per symbol
• Constellation points are closer >>TX is more susceptible to noise
Page 22
Constellation diagram
• In a more abstract sense, it represents the possible symbols that may be
selected by a given modulation scheme as points in the complex plane.
Measured constellation diagrams can be used to recognize the type of
interference and distortion in a signal.

SM- Card
• The SM-Card holds the configuration and software for the IDU. The SM-
Card is embedded in the SM-Card Cover, so re-using the existing SM-Card
Cover is necessary to ensure that the unit’s software and configuration is
maintained.
Ethernet Management Interface IP-20G

• FibeAir IP-20G contains two FE management interfaces, which connect to a single RJ-45 physical
connector on the front panel (MGMT).
• If the user only needs to use a single management interface, a standard Cat5 RJ-45 cable (straight or
cross) can be connected to the MGMT interface.
• To access both management interfaces, a special 2 x FE splitter cable can be ordered from Ceragon.
• Port Status LED – The LED for management interface 1 is located on the upper left of the MGMT
interface. The LED for management interface 2 is located on the upper right of the MGMT interface.
Page 46
DS1 - Interface
• Optionally, FibeAir IP-20G can be ordered with an MDR69 connector in which 16

DS1 interfaces are available (ports 1 through 16).
• In SW 7.7. is E1 option only available
• The DS1 interface has the following LEDs

• ACT LED – Indicates whether the TDM card is working properly (Green) or if there is
an error or a problem with the card’s functionality (Red).
• E1/DS1 LED – Indicates whether the interfaces are enabled with no alarms (Green),
with alarms (Red), or no interfaces enabled (Off).
Radio Interfaces
• In 7.7 is supported only single radio carrier.

• In 7.7.5 will be supported 2x 1+0 East / West Terminal
• In future software release will be available 2+0 ABC
• In 7.7 is supported only RFU-C (up to 256QAM) and RFU-Ce (up to 1024
QAM)
• RFU-HP, 1500HP, RFU-A support is planned for future software releases
• The IDU and RFU are connected by a coaxial cable RG-223 (100 m/300 ft),
Belden 9914/RG-8 (300 m/1000 ft) or equivalent, with an N-type connector
(male) on the RFU and a TNC connector on the IDU.

Radio Interfaces - LEDs
• ACT – Indicates whether the interface is working properly (Green) or if there is an error or
a problem with the interface’s functionality (Red), as follows:
• Off – The radio is disabled.
• Green – The radio is active and operating normally.
• Blinking Green – The radio is operating normally and is in standby mode.
• Red – There is a hardware failure.
• Blinking Red – Troubleshooting mode.
• LINK – Indicates the status of the radio link, as follows:
• Green – The radio link is operational.
• Red – There is an LOF or Excessive BER alarm on the radio.
• Blinking Green – An IF loopback is activated, and the result is OK.
• Blinking Red – An IF loopback is activated, and the result is Failed.
• RFU – Indicates the status of the RFU, as follows:
• Green – The RFU is functioning normally.
• Yellow – A minor RFU alarm or a warning is present, or the RFU is in TX mute mode,
or, in a protected configuration, the RFU is in standby mode.
• Red – A cable is disconnected, or a major or critical RFU alarm is present.
• Blinking Green – An RF loopback has been activated, and the result is OK.
• Blinking Red – An RF loopback has been activated, and the result is Failed.
Power Interfaces
• FibeAir IP-20G receives an external supply of -48V current via one or two power
interfaces (the second power interface is optional for power redundancy).
• The IP-20G monitors the power supply for under-voltage and includes reverse
polarity protection, so that if the positive (+) and negative (-) inputs are mixed up, the
system remains shut down.
• The allowed power input range for the IP-20G is -40V to -60V. An under voltage
alarm is triggered if the power goes below the allowed range, and an over voltage
alarm is triggered if the power goes above the allowed range.
• There is an ACT LED for each power interface.

High Frequency Electromagnetic Fields!

• Exposure to strong high frequency electromagnetic fields may cause
thermal damage to personnel. The eye (cornea and lens) is easily exposed.
• Any unnecessary exposure is undesirable and should be avoided.
• In radio-relay communication installations, ordinary setup for normal
operation, the general RF radiation level will be well below the safety limit.
• In the antennas and directly in front of them the RF intensity normally will
exceed the danger level, within limited portions of space.
• Dangerous radiation may be found in the neighborhood of open waveguide
flanges or horns where the power is radiated into space.
• To avoid dangerous radiation the following precautions must be taken:
• During work within and close to the front of the antenna; make sure that
transmitters will remain turned off.
• Before opening coaxial - or waveguide connectors carrying RF power,
turn off transmitters.
• Consider any incidentally open RF connector as carrying power, until
otherwise proved. Do not look into coaxial connectors at closer than
reading distance (1 foot). Do not look into an open waveguide unless
you are absolutely sure that the power is turned off.
ESD & LASER

• ESD
• This equipment contains components which are sensitive to "ESD" (Electro
Static Discharge). Therefore, ESD protection measures must be observed
when touching the IDU.
• Anyone responsible for the installation or maintenance of the FibeAir IDU
must use an ESD Wrist Strap.
• Additional precautions include personnel grounding, grounding of work
bench, grounding of tools and instruments as well as transport and storage
in special antistatic bags and boxes.
• LASER
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• The optical interface must only be serviced by qualified personnel, who are
aware of the hazards involved to repair laser products.
Page 54
General Requirements
Transportation & Inspection

• The equipment cases are prepared for

Grounding the IP-20G

• Connect a grounding wire first to the single-point stud shown in the figure
below, and then to the rack, using a single screw and two washers.
• The grounding wire must be 16 AWG or thicker
Page 58
Replacing an IP-20G IDU or SM-Card

• If you should need to replace the IP-20G IDU , you must first remove the SM-Card Cover so that
you can insert it into the new IDU.
• The SM-Card holds the configuration and software for the IDU. The SM-Card is embedded in the
SM-Card Cover, so re-using the existing SM-Card Cover is necessary to ensure that the unit’s
software and configuration is maintained.
• In some cases, you may need to replace the SM-Card itself in order to upgrade the unit’s
configuration.
To remove the SM-Card Cover:
1. Loosen the screws of the SM-Card Cover and remove it from the IDU.
Replacing an IP-20G IDU or SM-Card

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)

• In ACM mode, the radio will select the highest possible link capacity based on received signal quality.
• When the signal quality is degraded due to link fading or interference, the radio will change to a more robust
modulation and link capacity is consequently reduced.
• When signal quality improves, the modulation is automatically increased and link capacity is restored to the original
setting. The capacity changes are hitless (no bit errors introduced).
• During the period of reduced capacity, the traffic is prioritized based on Ethernet QoS - and TDM priority - settings.
• In case of congestion the Ethernet or TDM traffic with lowest priority is dropped. TDM capacity per modulation
state is configurable as part of the TDM priority setting.

Using MSE with ACM
MSE - Definition
MSE is used to quantify the difference between an estimated

(expected) value and the true value of the quantity being
estimated
MSE measures the average of the squared errors:
MSE is an aggregated error by which the expected value differs

from the quantity to be estimated.
The difference occurs because of randomness or because the

receiver does not account for information that could produce a
more accurate estimated RSL
Page 87
To simplify….
Imagine a production line where a machine needs to insert

one part into the other
Both devices must perfectly match
Let us assume the width has to be 10mm wide
We took a few of parts and measured them to see how

many can fit in….
The Errors Histogram

(Gaussian probability distribution function)
Quantity 9 Expected value
3
3
1 2
width
6mm 7mm 10mm 12mm 16mm
To evaluate how accurate our machine is, we need to know how many
parts differ from the expected value
9 parts were perfectly OK

Page 88
The difference from Expected value…
Quantity
Error = 0 mm
Error = + 2 mm
Error = - 3 mm
Error = + 6 mm
Error = - 4 mm
width
To evaluate the inaccuracy (how sever the situation is) we

measure how much the errors differ from expected value
Giving bigger differences more weight than smaller

differences
Quantity
Error = 0 mm
+ 2 mm = 4
-3 mm = 9
- 4 mm = 16 + 6 mm = 36
width
We convert all errors to absolute values and then we square them
The squared values give bigger differences more weight than smaller differences,
resulting in a more powerful statistics tool:
16cm parts are 36 ”units” away than 2cm parts which are only 4 units away
Page 89
Calculating MSE
Error = 0 mm
Quantity
+ 2 mm = 4
-3 mm = 9
- 4 mm = 16 + 6 mm = 36
width
To evaluate the total errors, we sum all the squared errors and take the average:
16 + 9 + 0 + 4 + 36 = 65, Average (MSE) = 13
The bigger the errors (differences) >> the bigger MSE becomes
Calculating MSE
MSE determines how narrow / wide the “Bell” is
Quantity
width
10mm
When MSE is very small – the “Bell” shaped histogram is closer to perfect
condition (straight line): errors = ~ 0
Page 90
MSE in digital modulation (Radios)
Let us use QPSK (4QAM)

Q as an example:
01 00 QPSK = 2 bits per symbol
2 possible states for I signal

2 possible states for Q signal
I = 4 possible states for the
combined signal

received signal (RSL)
The black dots represent the

expected values (constellation)
Q of the received signal (RSL)

The blue dots represent the
actual RSL

As indicated in the previous
example, we can say that the
bigger the errors are – the
harder it becomes for the
11 10 receiver to detect & recover the
transmitted signal
Page 91

Commissioning with MSE in EMS
When you commission your

radio link, make sure your MSE
is small
Actual values may be read

-34dB to -35dB
Bigger values will result in loss

of signal
MSE and ACM
When the errors is too big, we need

a stronger error correction
mechanism (FEC)
Therefore, we reduce the number

of bits per symbol allocated for data
and re-assign the extra bits for
correction instead
For example –
256QAM has great capacity but
poor immune to noise
64QAM has less capacity but much

better immune for noise

When MSE degrades or improves, the system applies the required

modulation per radio to maintain service

ACM & MSE: An Example

When RF signal degrades and MSE passes the upgrade point (MSE @ red point), ACM will
switch back FASTER to a higher profile (closer to an upgrade point) when MSE improves.
When RF signal degrades and MSE does not pass the upgrade point (green point) – ACM
waits till MSE improves to the point of next available upgrade point (takes longer time to
switch back to the higher profile).

and link quality, might not be effective in the physical world.
• Static transmission set to max. may reduce lifetime of Transmitter

• Side-lobes may affect nearby Receivers (image)

ATPC – Automatic Transmit Power Control

1. Enable ATPC on both sites
2. Set Input reference level (min. possible RSL to maintain the radio link)
3. ATPC on both ends establish a Feedback Channel through the radio link (1byte)
4. Transmitters will reduce Output power to the min. possible level
5. Power reduction stops when RSL in remote receiver reaches Ref. input level
6. ATPC is strongly recommended with XPIC configuration

Service model in General
What is a Service?
• A virtual bridge, connecting two or more interfaces
• Bridge is a device that separates two or more network segments

within one logical network
• Interfaces are usually referred to physical ports but can also be logical
ports
Page 111
Service Model

Service #1
4 Service #2
Service points
Service points are logical entities attached to the interfaces that make up the
service. Service points define the movement of frames through the service.
Without service points, a service is simply a virtual bridge with no ingress or
egress interfaces.
Rails are second service point

towards the bridge
The Route is your first service point

towards the bridge

IP-20 Services
IP20N supports the following services types:
1. Point-to-Point Service (P2P)

2. Multipoint Service (MP)
3. Management Service (MNG)
4. Point-to-Multipoint Service (E-Tree)
E-Tree services are planned for future release.
Point to Point Service (P2P)

• Point-to-point services are used to provide connectivity between two
interfaces of the network element.
• When traffic ingresses via one side of the service, it is immediately directed
to the other side according to ingress and egress tunneling rules.
• This type of service contains exactly two service points and does not require
MAC address-based learning or forwarding

Page 114
Multipoint Service (MP)

• Multipoint services are used to provide connectivity between two or more service points.
• When traffic ingresses via one service point, it is directed to one of the service points in the
service, other than the ingress service point, according to ingress and egress tunneling rules, and
based on the learning and forwarding mechanism.
• If the destination MAC address is not known by the learning and forwarding mechanism, the
arriving frame is flooded to all the other service points in the service except the ingress service
point.

Management Service (MNG)

• The management service is a multipoint service that connects the two local
management ports, the network element host CPU, and the traffic ports into a single
service. The service behavior is same as the Multipoint service behavior.
• The management service is pre-defined with Service ID 1025.

Service Point Attributes

As described above, traffic ingresses and egresses the service via service
points. The service point attributes are divided into two types:
• Ingress Attributes – Define how frames are handled upon ingress, e.g.,
policing and MAC address learning.
• Egress Attributes – Define how frames are handled upon egress, e.g.,
preservation of the ingress CoS value upon egress, VLAN swapping.

Agenda
• Licensing in General
• Demo License
• CeraOS License concept
• IP-20 Licensing Scheme
• Licensed Features
Page 133
Licensing
• IP-20G offers a pay as-you-grow licensing concept in which
future capacity growth and additional functionality can be
enabled with license keys.
• For purposes of licensing, each IP-20G chassis is considered
a distinct device, regardless of which cards are included in the
chassis. Each device contains a single license key.
• Licenses are divided into two categories:
• Per Carrier – The license is per carrier
• Per Device – The license is per device, regardless of the
number of carriers supported by the device.
• Ceragon provides a web-based License Management

System (LMS). The LMS enables authorized users to
generate license keys, which are generated per IDU serial
number.
• A 1+1 HSB configuration requires the same set of licenses for

both the active and the protected interfaces.
License Management System
Page 134
License generating
License is generated according to chassis SN
DEMO License
• A demo license is available that enables all features for 60 days.
• The demo license expires 60 days from the time it was activated,
and the most recent valid license goes into effect.
• The 60-day period is only counted when the system is powered up.
10 days before the demo license expires, an alarm is raised
indicating to the user that the demo license is about to expire.

• This enables you to manage IDU and RFU software versions separately.
• In this version, you must use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to
upgrade RFU software.
RFU Software Installation Procedure

1. The following sequence of commands installs RFU-C software version 2.13 in the
RFU connected to slot 3.
root> platform software show rfu versions
2. The next step is to perform the update and install commands:

root> platform software update rfu version slot 3 radio-port 1
root> platform software install rfu version slot 3 radio-port 1
3. To check the status of an update or install operation, enter the following command:
root> platform software show rfu status
4. Once the installation is complete, the Install Status column should indicate installation
success and the In Progress column should indicate 100 (100%).
5.When the installation is complete, enter the show rfu versions command again to verify
that the new version has been properly installed in both the TCC and the RFU:

TDM – Line Alarms
An example: Line alarms number 1040 = ( 10000010000 ) = 1024 + 16
It means that 1024 is Transceiver Loss of Multi-frame and 16 is Transceiver AIS alarm
