RRU3004
 The RRU3004 is an outdoor remote RF unit.
 The functions of the RRU3004 are as follows:
 The direct IQ modulation technique, which is directly implemented in the transmit
channel, modulates the baseband signals into GSM RF signals. After being filtered
and amplified, the RF signals are transmitted to the antenna for transmission,
through the duplexer in the RF front-end unit.
 The uplink RF signals received from the antenna go through down-conversion,
amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, matched filtering, Automatic Gain
Control (AGC), and then are sent to ASIC and DSP for demodulation and
decoding.
 Power regulation and Voltage Standing Wave Ration (VSWR) detection.
 Frequency systemization and loopback test.
 Generation and recovery of the clock circuitry at the CPRI interface, and the alarm
detection.
