  • Page 39 Figure 1: PMP/PTP 450 Platform Family typical bridge deployment Note Lightning protection and power supply differs between variants. Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) The PMP configuration of 450 Platform Family consists of AP and SM ODU. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time Division Duplexing (TDD). The AP operates in Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) mode to service multiple SMs.
  • Page 40 PTP (Backhaul) The PTP configuration of 450 Platform Family consists of two BH (Backhaul) ODUs. The customer can decide, via software configuration, if this unit is a BHM (Backhaul Master) or a BHS (Backhaul Slave). The radio link operates on a single frequency channel using TDD. The BHM operates in TDMA mode to service the BHS.
  • Page 41 All power injectors/power supplies in the Cambium Networks range are designed for an indoor environment. Different ODUs require different power requirements, so be sure to select the correct power supply. Surge protection units: A range of surge protectors is available to suit different ODUs The Gigabit Surge Suppressor provides a path to ground (Protective Earth) that protects connected radio equipment from near-miss lightning strikes.
  • Page 42 Figure 2: TDD frame division TDD frame parameters The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following: Channel bandwidth Cyclic prefix (CP) Frame period Frame configuration - Downlink data Link operation – Dynamic rate adaptation OFDM and Channel bandwidth The PMP/PTP 450 Platform Family transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This wideband signal consists of many equally spaced subcarriers.
  • Page 43 Cyclic prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. The 450 Platform Family ODUs have been locked to a 1/16 CP.
  • Page 44 Rate MIMO-B MIMO-A 16-QAM 4X MIMO-B 2X MIMO-A 64-QAM 6X MIMO-B 3X MIMO-A 256-QAM 8X MIMO-B 4X MIMO-A Note MIMO-A achieves half the throughput of MIMO-B but adds a combining diversity (gain) which enhances the link budget or availability. Encryption The 450 Platform Family supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link.
  • Page 45 An MU-MIMO access point estimates and measures what a transmission from each wireless node sounds like, by applying knowledge of the wireless path characteristics between the access point and the node. Known as channel estimation, this process is of vital importance; without it, the access point cannot distinguish properly between wireless nodes, affecting its performance.

  • Page 187 PMP 450m installation recommendations For optimal performance, it is advisable to maintain a clearance zone around the mast. The size of this clearance zone varies depending on the surrounding environment and the down tilt of the antenna. In situations where the mast is surrounded by metal structures, a larger clearance is necessary compared to areas with foliage.

This helps optimize performance and minimizes the impact of obstacles on your wireless network. Path loss Path loss is a critical factor that measures the attenuation of a radio signal as it travels between two points in a wireless link.
  • Page 189 Seasonal Fading (dB) Equipment Capability (dB) Calculating Link Loss The link loss is the total attenuation of the wireless signal between two point-to-multipoint units. The link loss calculation is presented below: Link Loss (dB) = Transmit power of the remote wireless unit (dBm) - Tx Cable loss (dB) - Received power at the local unit (dBm) - Rx cable loss (dB) + Antenna gain at the remote unit (dBi) + Antenna gain at the local unit (dBi).
  • Page 190 The Rx signal level calculation presumes that a clear line of sight is established between the transmitter and receiver and that no objects encroach in the Fresnel zone. Calculating fade margin Free space path loss is a significant factor in determining the received (Rx) signal level. The Rx signal level, in turn, plays a crucial role in calculating the system's operating margin, also known as the fade margin.

All previous SM/BHS had two orthogonal chains with a single peak in the azimuth antenna pattern, while the 4x4 SM/BHS has two peaks because the two carrier feeds are offset as part of the design.
  • Page 319 Each pair of chains transmits and receives a signal in one of the two carriers. Note The difference between carrier and component carrier: Carrier: center frequency of a Tx/Rx chain. Each Tx/Rx chain is used to transmit/receive all modulated component carriers that are wholly contained in the BW of the Tx/Rx chain.

Out of the two pairs of chains in the SM, one pair receives the signal, while the other does not receive anything.

  • Page 355 Note If there are no EIRP limits in the country of deployment, use the distance calculations for FCC 5.8 GHz for all frequency bands. At FCC 5.8 GHz, for antennas between 0.6m (2ft) and 1.8m (6ft), alter the distance proportionally to the antenna gain. Remarque Si aucune limite de PIRE existe pour le pays de déploiement, utilisez les calculs de distance pour FCC 5,8 GHz pour toutes les bandes de fréquence.
