CLUSTER RADIO CONTROLLER (CRC/URCm)
 The CRC is the Cluster Radio Controller for the Modcell.

 One CRC per CDM, redundant slot available
 The CRC is separated into two main processing
functions: The MCC and the LIU.
 The MCC, main cluster controller, is the portion of the
CRC that performs call processing functions, which
include channel element resource allocation and call
processing application processing. It also provides
functions such as alarm processing, NVM updates, and
maintenance interfacing.
 The LIU, line interface unit, is the portion of the CRC
that serves as the interface between the cell and the
data transmission lines. It provides functionality for
driving the T1/E1 lines, as well as processing the packet
pipes transported on the data lines. The main use for
the LIU is to serve as a router of traffic and control data
between channel units, MCC processor and the network.
 URCm – modified version of the URC, compatible with

the CRC, used to replace legacy Modcell CRC in order to
have the functionality required for EVDO

8
CDMA CHANNEL UNIT (CCU) and EVDO Modems (EVT and EVR)
CCU
 The CDMA Channel Unit (CCU) circuit pack performs the
baseband processing for voice and 3G1X data calls, coding
and decoding.
 It sets up and monitors the status of all the CDMA Traffic and
overhead channels for the forward and reverse links.
 Various types available, i.e.. CCU-20, CCU-32 and CCU-64
(20, 32, and 64 channel elements, respectively).
 Each CE can be assigned to perform pilot, sync, paging,
quick paging, access or traffic channel functions
 Modcells 1.0 and 2.0 support up to 6 CCUs per CDM.
 Modcell 3.0 supports up to 4 CCUs per CDM.
EVMs
 The 1xEV-DO Modem pair (EVM) is a set of 2 individual circuit cards, EVT
and EVR, that plug in the CCU slots of the digital shelf.
 The EVT (EVM transmit board) and EVR (EVM receive board) pair supports
one 1xEV-DO carrier. Only (1) pair per CDM is allowed, and cannot co-
exist with CCUs in the same CDM.
 The EVT performs baseband processing for the 1xEV-DO air interface
forward link channels. It receives packet data from the URCm and
performs baseband processing to convert the packet data into 1xEV-DO
forward link waveform and forward it to the radio.
 The EVR performs baseband processing for the 1xEV-DO air interface
reverse link channels. It receives the baseband signals from the radio,
demodulates and decodes the data and send it to the URCm.
 The EVR also demodulates and passes the Power Control (PC) bits and
Data Rate Control (DRC) bits for the EVT modem.

9
CDMA BASEBAND RADIO (CBR)
 The CBR is the transceiver for the

Modcell.
 It is a 1.25 MHz radio that can produce
(1) voice or EVDO carrier per sector
 In the transmit path, the Radio
converts the digital signals from the
channel elements to baseband IF and
RF signals. The Output signals of the
Radio will then get amplified, filtered,
and radiated.
 In the receive path, the RF signals
received by the antennas, pass through
the receive filters, get amplified by the
LNAs, and sent to the Radio’s RF input.
 The Radio converts the received RF
signals from the LNA into digital
signals. The digital signals will be
passed on to channel elements for
further processing

10
TRANSMIT AMPLIFIERS (ULTRA LINEAR AMPLIFIER MODULE)
 ULAMs amplify the radio’s RF output
 Each ULAM provides 16 Watts of Power (PCS).
 Its input is driven by the CBR and its output is

fed to the Transmit filter.
 Provides RF power amplification for (1)

carrier/sector.
 Multiple carriers can be combined for added

reliability. When combined, referred as MCAs.

11
BANDPASS FILTER ASSEMBLY
 The filter assembly ensures that the

transmit signals meet regulatory
requirements, such as FCC, by filtering
the RF signal before it gets sent over the
air. It also filters received signals before
amplifying it and sending to the radios.
 Contains a duplex or triplex filter, LNA,
directional couplers and splitters in one
assembly
 Transmit portion of the filters are specific
to contiguous groups of 3 channels within
the transmit band
 LNA provides low noise amplification of
signals received from each of the receive
antennas after they have passed through
bandpass filters
 Modcells 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 utilizes (2) filter
assembly per sector, one for each
diversity

System Timing
TFU, OM, Smart switch, GPS signal
 System timing is dependent of the TFU, OM, Smart switch, and GPS.
 The TFU, timing and frequency unit, generates all the clocks required to synchronize the BTS to the network
and other BTSs.
 It derives these clocks from the OMs 15 MHz reference signal.
 The TFU has a built-in GPS receiver, which is used to discipline the OM using the GPS source as a true
reference.
 The Rubidium Oscillator Module (OMR) is capable of running for 24 hrs without a GPS reference signal, while
the Quartz Cristal Oscillator Module (OMQ) for only 8 hrs. Running without a GPS reference signal is known
as flywheeling.
 The OMR is used as the primary OM and the OMQ as the backup OM. Their outputs are connected to the
smart switch.
 The Smart switch distributes the OM’s 15 MHz signal to the TFUs and radios. It also switches from one OM
to the other when it detects a failure.
