* When the RRU5513w works on 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz at the same time and
the total IBW of a single channel exceeds 80 MHz, a maximum of two GSM
carriers can be configured on a single channel, the total IBW occupied by all GSM
carriers cannot exceed 20 MHz, and the power of a single GSM carrier cannot
exceed 20 W.
When the RX and TX signals of the RRU5513w are configured on the same port:
● If the PIM3CFGSW parameter is set to OFF, the configurations of the cell
whose TX signals' PIM3 products fall in the RX frequency bands cannot take
effect.
● If the PIM3CFGSW parameter is set to ON, the configurations of the cell
whose TX signals' PIM3 products fall in the RX frequency bands can take
effect.
NOTE
● An RRU5513w (1800 MHz+2100 MHz) can work in the 1800 MHz frequency band, 2100
MHz frequency band, or both frequency bands.
● When the RRU5513w works in one frequency band, frequency band is used to indicate
the band. When the RRU5513w works in multiple frequency bands at the same time,
frequency band 1+frequency band 2 is used to indicate the bands. For example,
RRU5513w (1800 MHz+2100 MHz).
● The RRU5513w (1800 MHz+2100 MHz) provides the passive intermodulation (PIM)
cancellation function.
● Passive intermodulation (PIM) refers to the intermodulation effect caused by
nonlinearities in the passive components of an antenna system when high-power
signals of multiple frequencies are transmitted. This intermodulation effect
decreases the uplink sensitivity and negatively affects the network quality.
● The maximum gain of PIM cancellation can reach 15 dB. This function reduces the
negative impact of the intermodulation effect on the system. The following factors
impact PIM cancellation performance:
● Antennas: For example, the antenna experiences water corrosion, the antenna
is aged, or the screws inside the antenna are loose.
● Connectors: For example, the jumper connector is not securely connected, and
the jumper port is corroded by water or aged.
● External PIM issues: For example, metal obstacles (steel rope of the guyed
mast, metal fence, lightning protection ground bar, or billboard) exist near
the radiation surface of the antenna.
● Other factors that may cause PIM
● An RRU must be used in a simple antenna networking scenario where the RRU
uses a fixed-length jumper (≤ 6 m or 19.68 ft.) to directly connect to the antenna.
In this scenario, there is no intermediate component such as a combiner between
the RRU and the antenna. The fixed-length jumper is used because it can
effectively mitigate the PIM effect.

a: mTnR in the TX/RX Mode column indicates that the RF module uses m

b: The number of carriers in the Capacity column refers to the maximum
number of carriers that can be configured for the module with the RAT
configured, not the number of carriers that can be configured for a single
channel. For details about the module-level and channel-level carrier
configurations supported in single-mode and multimode scenarios, see the
Output Power Configuration column in the following table. When the module
is used with a feature, see the feature specifications in the corresponding
feature parameter description to learn the module-level or channel-level carrier
configurations that are supported after the feature is enabled.

a: mxP W in the Maximum Output Power column indicates that the number of

The maximum output power that can be configured for a single channel in a
single frequency band of the RRU5513w (1800 MHz+2100 MHz) is 100 W, and the
maximum output power that can be configured for a single channel in two
frequency bands is 100 W. That is, if 1800 MHz carriers have been configured on a
single RF channel and the total output power of all 1800 MHz carriers is 50 W, the
total output power of 2100 MHz carriers to be configured for this channel cannot
exceed 50 W.

The maximum level of cascading between an RRU and a BBU depends on the
cascading capability of the RRU working in different RATs and the bandwidth
resources of the CPRI ports on the BBU side. The following table provides the
maximum level of cascading and maximum distance between an RRU and a BBU
when the RRU works in a single mode. When the RRU works in multimode
concurrency scenarios, the maximum level of cascading and maximum distance
between the multimode RRU and a BBU are determined by the capabilities for the
mode with the lowest capabilities.

RRU5513w (AWS+PCS).
● When the RRU5513w works in AWS and PCS dual frequency bands, the sum of the IBW

● UMTS is not defined in 1770–1780 MHz (RX) and 2170–2180 MHz (TX). Therefore, the

General Rules
● The total output power of all carriers on a single channel cannot exceed the
maximum output power of a single channel.
● The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when a module is
located at an altitude of 3500 m (11482.80 ft) to 4500 m (14763.60 ft) and is
2 dB less than the standard power when a module is located at an altitude of
4500 m (14763.60 ft) to 6000 m (19684.80 ft).
NOTICE
If RF modules working in multiple frequency bands are used, pay attention to the
following: If a single channel is configured with multiple cells in different
frequency bands and the carrier output power of each cell in a frequency band is
less than the minimum configurable output power of the cell, the performance of
the cell in the frequency band cannot be ensured, and the performance of the
cells that work in other frequency bands and share the same channel as the cell is
also significantly affected. Therefore, such configuration needs to be avoided. (To
ensure cell performance, the minimum configurable output power of a cell varies
depending on the RAT. For details, see the output power configuration rules of
each RAT.)
For example, a single channel of an RF module is configured with one NR cell in
the 1800 MHz frequency band and one LTE cell in the 2100 MHz frequency band.
The carrier output power of the NR cell in the 1800 MHz frequency band is 1 mW,
which is less than the minimum configurable output power per channel for the NR
cell of the module. In this case, the performance of the NR cell cannot be ensured.
In addition, the performance of the LTE cell in the 2100 MHz frequency band on
the same channel deteriorates significantly even if its output power meets the
requirements.
