1. About This Guide

This document describes the main features, components, and specifications of
the FibeAir 1500HP/RFU-HP system.
2. Target Audience
This manual is intended for use by Ceragon customers, potential customers,
and business partners. The purpose of this manual is to provide basic
information about the FibeAir 1500HP/RFU-HP for use in system planning.

3. 1500HP/RFU-HP General Description

The FibeAir 1500HP/RFU-HP is a high transmit power RFU designed for long
haul applications with multiple carrier traffic. Together with its unique
branching design, 1500HP/RFU-HP can chain up to five carriers per single
antenna port and 10 carriers for dual port, making it ideal for Trunk or Multi
Carrier applications. The 1500HP/RFU-HP can be installed in either indoor or
outdoor configurations.
The field-proven 1500HP/RFU-HP was designed to enable high quality
wireless communication in the most cost-effective manner. With tens of
thousands of units deployed worldwide, the 1500HP/RFU-HP serves mobile
operators enabling them to reach over longer distances while enabling the use
of smaller antennas. The RFU-HP also includes a power-saving feature (green
mode) that enables the microwave system to automatically detect when link
conditions allow it to use less power.
1500HP and RFU-HP 1RX support Space Diversity via Baseband Switching in
the IDU (BBS). 1500HP 2RX, supports Space Diversity through IF Combining
(IFC). Both types of Space Diversity are valid solutions to deal with the
presence of multipath.
Note: 1500 HP (11 GHz) 40 MHz bandwidth does not support IF
Combining. For this frequency, space diversity is only
available via BBS.

4. 1500HP/RFU-HP System Configurations
4.1 Split Mount and All indoor

The 1500HP/RFU-HP radios can be installed either in split mount or in all
indoor configurations.
The following configurations are applicable for Split-Mount or all indoor
installations:
Unprotected N+0 - 1+0 to 10+0 Data is transmitted through N
channels, without redundancy (protection)
Hot Standby - 1+1 HSB, 2+2 HSB Two RFUs use the same RF channel
connected via a coupler. One channel transmits (Active) and the other acts
as a backup (Standby). A 2+2 HSB configuration uses two RFUs which are
chained using two frequencies and connected via a coupler to the other
pair of RFUs.
N+1 Frequency Diversity - N+1 (1+1 to 9+1) Data is transmitted
through N channels and an additional (+1) frequency channel, which
protects the N channels. If failure or signal degradation occurs in one of the
N channels, the +1 channel carries the data of the affected N carrier.
Additional configurations, such as 14+2, can be achieved using two racks.
Notes:
Space Diversity can be used in each of the configurations.
When using BBS for SD (1500HP 1RX/RFU-HP), ACM is not supported.
When the 1500HP/RFU-HP is mounted in a Split-Mount configuration, up to five RFUs can be
chained on one pole mount (the total is ten RFUs for a dual pole antenna).
When the 1500HP/RFU-HP is installed in an All Indoor configuration, there

are several installation options:
In ETSI rack up to ten radio carriers per rack
In 19 open rack up to five radio carriers per subrack
Compact assembly up to two radio carriers in horizontal placement
(without a subrack)
Two types of branching options are available for all indoor configurations:
Using ICBs Vertical assembly, up to 10 carriers per rack (five carriers
per subrack)
Using OCBs Compact horizontal assembly, up to 2 carriers per subrack

4.2 Space Diversity

In long distance wireless links, multipath phenomenon commonly exist,
whereby fading occurs over time, space, and frequency. The 1500HP RFU
provides two types of Space Diversity optimizations, which are ideal solutions
for the multipath phenomenon:
IF Combining (IFC)
BBS (Base Band Switching)
The RFU-HP supports BBS Space Diversity, but not IFC.
Space Diversity with Multiple RFUs Space Diversity with Single RFU
4.2.1 IF Combining (IFC) Mechanism

FibeAir 1500HP includes an IF combining mechanism, which uses an
innovative digital optimization algorithm to combine the signals received from
both antennas in order to improve signal quality. When distortion occurs, it is
measured in both receiver paths, and a new combined signal is produced. This
can improve the system gain by up to 3 dB. IFC Space Diversity can be used
with single and multiple RFUs.
A delay calibration for the diversity waveguide is required and is performed
automatically via the NMS.
Each 1500HP has built-in IFC Space Diversity functionality, with one
transmitter and two receivers. The receivers receive two different signals
from two antennas, which are installed 10-20 meters apart.
There are two options for connecting the RFUs to the diversity antennas:
Waveguide to coaxial cable Uses a waveguide adaptor (CPR type)
connected to an N-type coaxial cable. This is the default option.
Elliptical waveguide Uses a waveguide connector (CPR type) with an
elliptical waveguide.

4.2.2 Baseband Switching (BBS)

Both FibeAir 1500HP and FibeAir RFU-HP support BBS Space Diversity. In
this option, there are two RFUs instead of a single RFU with two receivers.
The actual BBS Space Diversity switching is performed in the IDU. The modem
switches to the other RF signal when interference occurs, and returns to the
main signal when the interference is gone. In this way, the system performs
optimum signal receiving by using the signal that provides the best
performance.
Note: When using BBS for SD (1500HP 1RX/RFU-HP), ACM is not
supported

5. Split Mount Configuration and Branching

Network
For multiple carriers, up to five carriers can be cascaded and circulated
together to the antenna port.
Branching networks are the units which perform this function and route the
signals from the RFUs to the antenna. The branching network can contain
multiple OCBs or ICBs. When using a Split-Mount or All-Indoor compact
(horizontal) configuration, the OCB branching network is used. When using an
All-Indoor vertical configuration, the ICB branching network is used.
The main differences in branching concept between the OCB and the ICB
relate to how the signals are circulated.
OCB The Tx and the Rx path circulate together to the main OCB port.
When chaining multiple OCBs, each Tx signal is chained to the OCB Rx
signal and so on (uses S-bend section). For more details, refer to
1500HP/RFU-HP OCBs on page 17.
ICB All the Tx signals are chained together to one Tx port (at the ICC) and
all the Rx signals are chained together to one Rx port (at the ICC). The ICC
circulates all the Tx and the Rx signals to one antenna port. For more
information, refer to Indoor Circulator Block (ICB) on page 26.
All-Indoor Vertical Branching Split-Mount Branching and All-Indoor Compact

5.1 1500HP/RFU-HP OCBs

The OCB (Outdoor Circulator Block) has the following main purposes:
Hosts the circulators and the attached filters.
Routes the RF signal in the correct direction, through the filters and
circulators.
Enables RFU connection to the Main and Diversity antennas.
FibeAir 1500HP and RFU-HP supports two types of OCBs:
OCB (Older Type)
New OCB
Old OCB New OCB
5.1.1 Old OCB

The Older Type OCB has two types, Type 1 and Type 2. The difference
between the two types is the circulator direction. Depending on the
configuration, OCB Type 1 or Type2 is used together with waveguide shorts,
loads, U Bends, or couplers.
Each OCB has four waveguide access points: two in the front, and two at the
rear. The diversity access point is optional.
If the system is not configured for diversity, all the relevant access points on
the OCB must be terminated using waveguide shorts.
The two OCB types (with and without IFC Space Diversity) have different part
numbers.

The following block diagrams show the difference between the two OCBs and
the additional Diversity Circ block which is added in some diversity
configurations.
Old OCB Type 1
Old OCB Type 1 and Type 2 Description

5.1.2 New OCB

The new OCB is optimized for configurations that do not use IFC Space
Diversity. To support IFC Space Diversity, a diversity block is added.
The new OCB has only one type, and can be connected to an antenna via a
flexible waveguide.
The new OCB connection is at the rear of the OCB. It includes proprietary
accessories (different than those used for the older OCB).
Each OCB has three waveguide access points: The In/Out port is located at the
rear of the OCB.
The OCB ports include:
Tx port
Rx Port
Diversity port
If the system is not configured for diversity, all the relevant access points on
the OCB must be terminated using waveguide shorts. Unused Rx ports are
terminated with a 50 ohm termination. New OCB and DCB Block Diagram
New OCB components include the following:

RF Filters
RF Filters are used for specific frequency channels and Tx/Rx separation. The
filters are attached to the OCB, and each RFU contains one Rx and one Tx filter.
In an IFC Space Diversity configuration, each RFU contains two Rx filters
(which combine the IF signals) and one Tx filter. The filters can be replaced
without removing the OCB.

DCB (Diversity Circulator Block)

THE DCB is an external block which is added in IFC Space Diversity
configurations. The DCB is connected to the diversity port and can chain two
OCBs.
Coupler Kit
The coupler kit is used for 1+1 Hot Standby (HSB) configurations.
U Bend
The U Bend connects the chained DCB (Diversity Circulator Block) in N+1/N+0
configurations.
S Bend
The S Bend connects the chained OCB (Outdoor Circulator Block) in N+1 /N+ 0
configurations.
Pole Mount Kit
The Pole Mount Kit can fasten up to five OCBs and the RFUs to the pole. The kit
enables fast and easy pole mount installation.

5.3 Upgrade Procedure

The following components need to be added when upgrading from a 1+0 to an
N+1 Split-Mount configuration:
OCBs
RFUs
IDU/IDMs
Flexible waveguides
When adding RF channels or carriers, RFUs and OCBs with specific filters need
to be added as well.
The OCBs are chained together using couplers (for the same frequency) or
U bends/S bends (for different frequencies), in accordance with the specific
configuration.
Open ports on the OCBs are terminated with 50 ohm terminations.

Detailed upgrade procedure documents are available for specific

configurations.
Please note that legacy OCBs can be upgraded and cascaded with the new OCB.
Please contact your Ceragon representative for details.

6. All Indoor Configurations and Branching

Network
All-Indoor configurations are when all the equipment is installed indoors
(room, shelter) and an elliptical waveguide connects the radio output port
from the room to the antenna.
A basic block diagram for a trunk system, including the main blocks, is shown
in the following figure. The block diagram includes marked interface points
which shall serve as reference points for several technical parameters used in
this document.
Block Diagram of Trunk System
All-Indoor System with Five IP-10 Carriers

All-Indoor System with Ten IP-10 Carriers
The branching concept (as described in Split Mount Configuration and

Branching Network on page 16) is similar to All-Indoor application.
When using All-Indoor configurations, there are two types of branching
implementations:
Using ICBs Vertical assembly, up to 10 carriers per rack (five carriers
per subrack).
Using NEW OCBs Compact horizontal assembly, up to two carriers per
subrack.
All-Indoor Installations

6.1 RFU Subrack Components

Subrack for ETSI Rack
6.1.1 Subrack
The subrack hosts all the RFU components and connections, as shown in the
previous figure.
The subrack includes up to five RFUs per subrack (each RFU connects to an
ICB).
RFU with Branching

6.1.2 Indoor Circulator Block (ICB)

Each RFU is connected to one ICB, and several ICBs are chained to each other.
The chained ICBs carry different RF channels and are connected to a single
ICC, which sums the RF signals.
The main ICB functions include:
Hosts the circulators and filters.
Routes the RF signals in the correct direction, via the filters and
circulators.
The ICB is a modular standalone unit. When system expansion is necessary,
additional ICBs are added and chained with the existing ICBs.
The branching chain to neighbor ICB goes through the holes at the side. A long
screw connects the ICBs to each other and the last ICB at the chain is
terminated with a 50ohm termination, as shown below.
Note: The diversity port does not need to be terminated if the
diversity filter is not attached to the ICB.
ICB Branching Chain
6.1.3 RF Filters
The RF Filters are used for specific frequency channels and Tx/Rx separation.
The filters are attached to the ICB, and each RFU contains one Rx and one Tx
filter.
In an IFC Space Diversity configuration, each RFU contains two Rx filters to
combine the IF signals, along with one Tx filter.

6.1.4 Indoor Combiner Circulator (ICC)

The ICC does not perform space diversity ICB summing (single output port).
ICC
The ICC sums the Rx and Tx signals and combines the N channels to the output
ports (one or two, in accordance with the configuration).
6.1.5 Indoor Combiner Circulator Diversity (ICCD)

The ICCD performs space diversity ICB summing (two output ports).
ICCD
6.1.6 Patch Panel

The ICBs IF and XPIC cables are connected to the patch panel. The IDUs IF
cables are connected to the specific RFU location. An XPIC cable is used
between two RFUs which are using the same Tx and Rx filters with different
polarizations (V and H).

6.1.7 Fan Tray

The fan tray contains eight controlled and monitored fans, which cool the RFU
heat dissipations. The fan tray is a tray which is part of ETSI rack (as shown
above), while when using a 19 frame rack a fan tray is a separate unit which
must be assembled separately (shown below).

6.1.8 Rigid Waveguides - T12, T13 and T14

Rigid waveguide sections are assembled in the rack to connect the ICC/ICCD
from the bottom to the top of the rack (C). The specific Rigid WG sections to
be used depend on the configuration.

6.2 All-Indoor Configuration Example

In this configuration, three ICBs are chained together and connected to a
vertical ICC, and two ICBs are chained together and connected to a horizontal
ICC polarization.
The RF components include:
Five RFUs
Five ICBs
Two ICCs

6.3 All-Indoor Rack Types

Three types of racks can be used in an all-indoor configuration:
19 lab rack ( open frame )
19 rack
ETSI rack
The 19 rack is not commonly used in Ceragon configurations.
The 19 lab rack (open frame) contains a subrack that is preassembled at the
factory and then shipped. The customer can also use an existing rack and the
subrack is installed separately at the site.

7. All Indoor Compact (Horizontal)

For minimal rack space usage, an All-Indoor configuration can be installed in
horizontal position using the new OCB in a 19 rack or ETSI open rack/ frame
rack. The New OCB is compliant with NEBS GR-1089-CORE, GR-63-CORE
standards.
Note: This installation type and configuration does not require a
fan tray.

7.2 Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

The PDU distributes the power supply (-48V) from the main power input to
the relevant IDU. The PDU is preassembled and wired in an ETSI rack and is
provided separately, when required, for a 19 lab rack. When ordering a 19
configuration, there are two rack assembly options:
19 lab rack provided separately
19 lab rack provided by the customer
For both options, a PDU for 19 can be provided upon request.
There are two types of PDU. The default PDU which has been assembled with
each ETSI rack contains:
Two main switches one for each five IDU carriers
Two FAN tray switches
1A. The default PDU which is assembled with the ETSI rack has a special
addition of a plastic cover.
For special cases, when PDU protection is required, a PDU with plastic
protection cover can be provided.
The PN for this PDU with protection cover is: 32T-PDU_CVR.

A PDU which distributes 10 x DC signals, the PDU type can be preassembled

with an ETSI Rack and needs to be specially ordered because it is not the
default PDU.
