Page 12: Bts Components & Connections
GPS Timing Source Overview The Vanu Anywave BTS implements all of the signal processing required for full GSM base station functionality in software running on a server. A standard system implements the components of the GSM Phase II specification for voice communications. -
Page 13: Bts Server
Anywave BSS Operator Guide BTS Server The Anywave BTS software application is hosted on an Intel TIGI2U NEBS server running a Debian GNU/Linux operating system. The RF data enters the server from the Protium RF front end units through an Ethernet connection. GSM audio signaling is routed internally from mobile to mobile using the Anywave Micro-MSC. -

Page 16: Rf Front End
RF Front End The wideband RF front ends perform transmission and reception over the air interface between the BTS and a number of GSM mobiles. Using a wideband multi-channel front end allows one BTS unit to transmit and receive multiple carriers over a wide frequency band of up to 25 MHz. -
Page 17: Overview Of Protium Rf Front End Connections
Anywave BSS Operator Guide Overview of Protium RF Front End Connections The RF signal is received through the Main Antenna port, located on the Duplexer panel. RF data received from the Main Antenna is run through the Duplexer, out the Main RX SMA port, then over a cable to the Main RX SMA on the Up/Down Converter panel. -

Page 21: Power Shelf
Anywave BSS Operator Guide Power Shelf The Powerwave Power Shelf converts 120 V AC current to 28 v DC current. The capacity to hold up to three power modules makes it easy to swap out an existing power module if necessary, or to increase DC power. The Power Shelf used in your deployment will have two power modules, with a total of 8 connections (4 red, 4 black) to the Powerwave MCPA. -
Page 22: Power Amplifier
Power Amplifier The Powerwave Amplifier is used as the Power Amplifier for each RF Front End in the network. The output from the RF Front End is sent to the PA via a Coax cable and is then amplified by 63 dB. You will have four Power Amplifiers in your deployment. -
