 System Overview
NEC has developed the PASOLINK NEO, a narrow band point-to-point digital microwave
relay system operating at radio frequency (RF) bands of
6/7/8/11/13/15/18/23/26/28/32/38/52 GHz.
GHz

The PASOLINK NEO system provides interface types of PDH, SDH and LAN. The
transmission signals are 5 to 48 x E1, 1 to 2 x E3, 1 to 2 x STM-1, 2/4 x 10/100 Base-T(X)
and GbE signals.

The systems consist of antennas, outdoor unit (ODU) and Indoor unit (IDU) same as PASOLINK series.
They are connected through a coaxial cable for each radio channel. Available configurations are non
protected type (1+0) and protected type (1+1). The protected type is available for twin-path type and
hot-standby type.
 System Composition
• 1- Indoor unit (IDU) ( Modulation-Demodulation unit)
• 2- Outdoor unit (ODU) ( Transmit – Receive unit)
• 3- IF cable and connectors ( To connect the IDU & ODU)
• 4- Antenna on the required microwave band
• 5- Hybrid ( coupler ) in case of 1+1 one antenna configuration
• 6- RF cable ( If the ODU is not direct mounted to the antenna)

 Outdoor Unit ( ODU )

• The transmitter-receiver is designed to handle an 8-155 Mbps digital signal in the 6-52 GHz
bands. The equipment is designed to withstand severe weather conditions. To achieve high
system gain performance, quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation is applied. And to
achieve high frequency efficiency performance, 16/32/128-quadrature amplitude modulation
(16/32/128QAM) is applied. This ODU can apply to each modulation.

• Advanced integrated circuit technology, e.g., MMIC and MIC, is applied to the entire RF circuit in
ODU.

 Hybrid Combiner
NEC has developed Hybrid Combiner/Divider over the full range of microwave frequencies for PASOLINK Series digital microwave
radio point-
point-to-
to-point fixed wireless systems. This Hybrid Combiner/Divider comprises
comprises directional coupler, antenna interface, radio
mounting interfaces and polarizers.
polarizers. The RF signal power received by the single polarized antenna is
is equally distributed and sent to
two outdoor units through the Hybrid Combiner/Divider for 1+1 protected
protected systems.
There are two types of NEC Hybrid Combiner/Divider, one is coaxial
coaxial cable connection type for 6/7/8 GHz Bands and the other is
WG connection type for 11 – 52 GHz Bands. NEC Hybrid Combiner/Divider is suited for Andrew or RFS Antenna, and all NEC
ODUs.

6/7/8 GHz Coupler (N-type) 11 ~ 38 GHz Coupler (N-type)

 10 Coupler
The RF signal power received by the single polarized antenna is unequally distributed to two outdoor units in
the ratio of 9 to 1 through the 10 dB Coupler for 1+1 protected systems. Using this 10 dB Coupler, regular
side signal level could be kept higher than in using 3 dB equal Combiner/Divider.
There are two types of NEC 10 dB Coupler; one is coaxial cable connection type for 6/7/8 GHz bands and the
other is WG connection type for 11 - 38 GHz Bands. NEC 10 dB Coupler is suited for Andrew or RFS
Antenna, and all NEC ODUs.

RFS Antenna and all NEC ODUs.

The OMT comprises Ortho-Mode transducer, antenna interface

and radio mounting interfaces.
