RF Specifications
Table 2 lists radio frequency (RF) specifications of an RRU3256.

NOTE:
ATBR in the RX and TX Channels column indicates that this RF module has A transmit channels and B
receive channels.
C x D W in the Output Power column indicates that this RF module is configured with C transmit channels and
the maximum output power of each transmit channel is D W.

Guide.

NOTE:
The output power of an RRU3256 working at 3500 MHz varies with the factors such as uplink-downlink
subframe configuration, filter insertion loss, and carrier configuration (contiguous or non-contiguous carriers).
When the frequency spacing between carriers is greater than 80 MHz, the rated output power of RF channels
must be decreased.
The output power per carrier in the output power table provides the maximum output power possible while
ensuring the network performance.
