Section 2 System Configuration and Functions

2.1 High power 5G Remote

HROU_4000 is a remote unit supporting both SISO and MINO service of C-Band. HROU_4000 receives TX optical signals from ODU and converts them into RF signals. The converted RF signals are amplified through high-power amps in the corresponding HRDU bands combined with UDCU, PAU, and Cavity duplexer, and then radiated to the antenna port.

When receiving RX signals through the antenna port, this unit filters out-of- band signals in a corresponding HRDU and sends the results to R-OPTIC to make an electronic-to-optical conversion. After conversion, the signals are sent to the upper device of ODU. HROU_4000 can be equipped with up to four HRDUs (High Remote Drive Unit) and each module supports a single band only.

HROU_4000 has a digital board to improve the PAU’s linearity by performing DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion). Also, CFR works to improve the PAPF performance. Since C-Band and Auction 110 band uses TDD technology, the digital board of HROU is also equipped with the SDM to acquire the synchronization for 5G NR TDD signals.

2.1.3 Function by unit

2.1.3.1 High Remote Drive Unit (HRDU)

When receiving TX signals from each band through Remote Optic, HRDU filters the signals and amplifies them with High Power Amplifier. The unit also filters RX signals given through a cavity filter and amplifies them to send the signals to Remote Optic. In the unit, there is ATT to adjust the gain. An HRDU consists of a UDCU and a PAU like the below figure and all modules are merged into one package.

Figure 4. HRDU Outer Look

HRDU devices are varied by each frequency band, including the following:

2.1.3.2 Remote Power Supply Unit (RPSU)

There are 2 types of RPSU in the HROU to supply active modules in the enclosure and receive power from the external.
They are the DC/DC PSU receiving input -48V and the AC/DC PSU receiving input 110V/220V from external.
RPSU has a circuit brake to turn the power ON/OFF and has an LED indicator at the top to check if the input power is normally supplied.

2.1.3.3 Remote Optic (HROPTIC_4000)

Remote Optic converts optical signals into RF signals and performs vice versa. It also has internal ATT for optical compensation to compensate for optical cable loss. It provides two paths in pairs (TX/RX) to transport RF signal to ADD On port.

Figure 7. R OPTIC Outer Look

2.1.3.4 HROU_4000_DTU

Remote Central Processor Unit (RCPU)

HROU_4000_DTU can monitor and control each module of HROU_4000. This unit receives and analyzes upper communication data from Remote Optic and reports the unit’s value to upper devices. On the front of the module, it has LED indicators to show system status, letting you check any abnormalities at a time. On the same front, it also has communication LED Indicators to show communication status with upper devices. Through the local port, the unit enables you to check and control device status through a PC or laptop.

Digital transmission Unit (DTU)

HROU_4000_DTU performs DPD to improve the HRDU PAU efficiency. Also, CFR is used in DTU as a technique to reduce the PAPR of the transmitted signal. HROU_4000_DTU also acquires the synchronization for 5G NR TDD signals.
