 Product Overview

1 Product Overview

This document describes the Radio Units (RUs) for RBS 6000 systems.

For information on placement in the RBS cabinet, see RBS Description.

1.1 Purpose
The main purpose of the RU is to send and receive signals.

The RU receives digital data and converts it to analog signals. It also receives
radio signals and converts these to digital signals.

Figure 1 shows the interface of the RU.

 Function Description

2 Function Description

The RU is certified for 60 W. The default output power without license keys is
20 W. License keys are used to set the output power to 40 W or 60 W.

The RU has the following functions:

• Transceiving Receiving Processing (TRP)

• Uplink and downlink filtering

• Power Amplifier (PA) functions

• Up to four carriers downlink and uplink with 2-RX diversity

• Supports the function Remote Electrical Tilt (RET)

• Support for external antenna equipment such as Antenna System Controller

(ASC), Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA), and RETU Interface Unit (RIU)

Figure 2 shows a general example of the block diagram of an RU.
