POWER CARDS :
The function of power card is to take
-48v and distribute it to various other
minor cards.
PWSA(AC type)
PWSB/PWSC(DC type)
There are 3 power cards.
One power card support 6TRX cards
thus 2 power cards will support
12TRX.
(1 card is always for stand by)
TRX BASE BAND UNIT :
BB2F FUNCTIONS :
It is known as status card for TRX
cards.
It is basically a DSP(digital signal
processor).
One BB2F card take care of two
TRX cards.
BB2F card should be in order for
proper operation of TRX.
BOIA UNIT :

BOIA UNIT FUNCTIONS :
It is known as Brain of BTS.
It handles all the control functions
like :
BTS initiallization
Operation & Maintainance
Software download(LMP port available)
Management of alarms
Logic control
Main clock function
TRANSMISSION UNITS :
Transmission cards is basically a
interface for E1/T1 patching.
Different types of transmission cards:

FC E1/T1
FXC E1/T1
FXC E1
FC RRI

TRX CARDS :

Front view
TRX CARDS :
One BTS support maximum 12 TRX cards.
TRX card functionality is both transmit and
receive.
One TRX card perform modulation ,
demodulation and amplification for one RF
carrier.
Handles both downlink and uplink signal.
It basically transmit and receive without
any Digital Signal Processing.
TRX card depend on BB2F card for DSP.
DUPLEXER FUNCTIONS:
Performs duplex operation of
both TX & RX into one antenna.
Provide filtering and amplification
for both main and diversity signal
from antenna.
It contains LNA(low noise
amplifier) for amplification.
MULTICOUPLER:
It performs signal splitting for both
main and diversity signal.
Multicoupler is of two types:
2- way
6- way

One multicoupler handles two TRX

cards.
2 WAY MULTICOUPLER:
COMBINERS :
It combines two transmitting signals
of TRX card and generate one
output.
Combiners are of two types :
2 way (wide band combiner)
6 way (remote tune combiner)
2-WAY & 6-WAY COMBINER:

CABLING :
For configuration (4+3+1) :
TRX CARDS : 8
PWSB CARDS : 3
BB2F CARDS : 5
BOIA CARD : 1
DUPLEXER : 3
MULTICOUPLER : 5(2-WAY)
COMBINER : 3(2-WAY)
SECTOR 1
SECTOR 2
SECTOR 3
SHARING CONCEPT :
Consider configuration 3+3
TRX CARDS : 6
PWSB CARDS : 2
BB2F CARDS : 4
BOIA CARD : 1
DUPLEXER : 1(SHARED)
MULTICOUPLER : 4(2-WAY)
COMBINER : 4(2-WAY)
COMMISSIONING :
Commissioning is a process of
making a BTS ready for operational
use.
There are three steps for
commissioning Nokia BTS :
Hardware configurator .
Software downloader.
Hub Manager.
DRAWBACKS :
Ultra BTS support only 2G technology.
Ultra BTS support maximum 12TRX.
Ultra BTS has all the pin connections
on the back plane. If any of the pin of
a particular slot is damaged then that
slot becomes useless.
