Maximum Output Power per Carrier Downlink design goals on the order of –85 dBm are typical for protocols, such as GSM. Wireless service providers may choose a higher level to ensure that in-building signal dominates any macro signal that may be leaking into the building.

System Gain System Gain The system gain of the Fusion Wideband defaults to 0 dB or can be set up to 15 dB in 1 dB increments.

Estimating RF Coverage Estimating RF Coverage The maximum output power per carrier (based on the number and type of RF carriers being transmitted) and the minimum acceptable received power at the wireless device (that is, the RSSI design goal) essentially establish the RF downlink budget and, con- sequently, the maximum allowable path loss (APL) between the RAU’s antenna and the wireless device.
Estimating RF Coverage 6.5.1 Path Loss Equation In-building path loss obeys the distance power law in equation (2): PL = 20log (4d f/c) + 10nlog (d/d where: • PL is the path loss at a distance, d, from the antenna •...
Estimating RF Coverage 6.5.2 RAU Coverage Distance Use equations (1) and (2), on pages 6-16 and 6-17, respectively, to estimate the dis- tance from the antenna to where the RF signal decreases to the minimum acceptable level at the wireless device.

Link Budget Analysis 6.6.3 Elements of a Link Budget for CDMA Standards A CDMA link budget is slightly more complicated because you must consider the spread spectrum nature of CDMA. Unlike narrowband standards such as TDMA and GSM, CDMA signals are spread over a relatively wide frequency band. Upon recep- tion, the CDMA signal is de-spread.
Link Budget Analysis The open-loop power control equation is = –73 dBm (for Cellular, IS-95) = –76 dBm (for PCS, J-STD-008) where P is the mobile’s transmitted power and P is the power received by the mobile. The power level transmitted under closed-loop power control is adjusted by the base station to achieve a certain E (explained in Table 6-29 on page 6-30).

Optical Power Budget Optical Power Budget Fusion Wideband uses SC/APC connectors. The connector losses associated with mating to these connectors is accounted for in the design and should not be included as elements of the optical power budget. The reason is that when the optical power budget is defined, measurements are taken with these connectors in place.
Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station The Fusion Wideband system supports up to three RF sources: one for Band 1, one for Band 2 and one for Band 3. This section explains how each band can be connected to its associated base station.
Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station RAU inputs to the base station inputs. This SNR can not be better than the SNR of Fusion Wideband by itself, although it can be significantly worse. A good rule of thumb is to set the uplink attenuation such that the noise level out of Fusion Wideband is within 10 dB of the base station’s sensitivity.
Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station ALC Operation Figure 6-2 Input Signal Level Activation Output Signal Level Level -30dBm Attack Hold Release Phase Phase Phase Time 6.8.2.1 Using the RAU 10 dB Attenuation Setting Each RAU band can, independently of the other RAUs in a system, have its uplink or downlink gain attenuated by 0 or 10 dB for each RAU band (1, 2 or 3).
Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station 6.8.2.2 Using the Uplink ALC Setting Uplink automatic level control (UL ALC) circuitry for each band within the RAU provides automatic level control on high-power signals in the uplink path. This func- tionality is required to prevent RF signal compression caused by a single or multiple wireless devices in very close proximity to the RAU band.
Installation Requirements NOTE: Faulty cabling is the cause of a vast majority of problems. All CATV cable should be tested to TIA-570-B specifications. 7.1.1 Component Location Requirements Fusion Wideband components are intended to be installed in indoor locations only. If outdoor installation is desired, such as a parking garage, the Fusion Wideband com- ponents must be installed in the appropriate environmental enclosures.
Safety Precautions NOTE: The proper crimp tool and die must be matched by the connector type. 7.1.3 Distance Requirements Table 7-1 shows the distances between Fusion Wideband components and related equipment.

Safety Precautions The internal power supplies have internal fuses that are not user replaceable. Con- sider the worst-case power consumption shown on the product labels when provi- sioning the equipment’s AC power source and distribution. Verify that the Hub is grounded properly using the AC power cord third wire ground.

Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures 7.4.2 Installing Expansion Hubs The Expansion Hub (2U high) can be installed in a standard 19 in. (483 mm) equip- ment rack or in a wall-mountable equipment rack that is available from TE. Allow a clearance of 76 mm (3 in.) front and rear and 51 mm (2 in.) sides for air circulation. No top and bottom clearance is required.
Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures Installing an Expansion Hub Using the 12” Wall-Mounted Rack Considerations: • The rack (PN4712) is 305 mm (12 in.) deep. The Expansion Hub is 381 mm (15 in.) deep. You must move the rack mounting brackets on the Expansion Hub, as shown in Figure 7-16) to the center mounting position to allow for the 76 mm (3 in.) rear clearance that is required.
Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures Installing a Fusion Wideband Expansion Hub Directly to the Wall To install the Hub directly to the wall: Pre-install 3/4” plywood to the wall. Mount both of the rack mounting brackets using #10-32 machine screws (refer to illustration Figure 7-17).
Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures Installing Directly to the Wall Figure 7-18 NOTE: Leave the dust caps on the fiber ports until you are ready to connect the fiber optic cables.

Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures Troubleshooting Expansion Hub LEDs During Installation • All Expansion Hub LEDs with RAUs connected should indicate Green/Red. PORT This indicates that the RAU is powered on and communication has been estab- lished. • The Expansion Hub LED should be Green.
Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures 7.4.3 Installing RAUs CAUTION: Install RAUs in indoor locations only. Do not con- nect an antenna that is installed in an outdoor location to an RAU. For outdoor installations, a protective enclosure is required. Installing RAUs Mount all RAUs in the locations marked on the floor plans.
Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures 800/850 MHz Isolation Requirements When deploying any RF system, give special attention to preventing receiver block- ing or desensitization by out-of-band transmitters. Typically, sharp filters in the receiver front-end will reduce the interfering transmitters to tolerable levels. In select cases, the interferers may occupy a frequency band that is directly adjacent to the receiving band and cannot be adequately rejected by filtering.
Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures 800 MHz iDEN Downlink and 850 MHz Cellular Uplink A 2 MHz frequency gap (851 – 849 MHz) separates the 800 iDEN downlink and 850 Cellular uplink frequency bands. Because of this narrow spacing, 800 iDEN down- link intermodulation products may fall within the 850 Cellular uplink band.
