Product Features

1. Microwave Types

1) SDH Microwave

Unlike conventional SDH microwave equipment, the OptiX RTN 950A has a built-in MADM. The MADM grooms services to the microwave port through cross-connections, maps the services into the STM-1-based or 2xSTM-1-based microwave frames, and then transmits the frames. With this capability, services are flexibly groomed and the optical network and the microwave network are seamlessly converged.

Figure 3-1 SDH microwave

2) Hybrid/Packet Integrated IP Microwave

The Hybrid/Packet integrated IP microwave (Integrated IP radio for short) can transmit one type among or a combination of Native TDM services, Native Ethernet services, and PWE3 packet services according to software settings. Therefore, the Integrated IP radio achieves a smooth upgrade from Hybrid microwave to Packet microwave.

IP Microwave Classification

IP microwave can transmit packet services and support the AM function. The packet services transmitted can be Native Ethernet services or packet services encapsulated in PWE3. Conventional IP microwave is divided into two different types: Hybrid microwave and Packet microwave.

• Hybrid microwave: Native TDM services and Native Ethernet services can be transmitted through the air interface.
• Packet microwave: TDM services, ATM/IMA services, and Ethernet services after PWE3 encapsulation are transmitted through the air interface.

As IP microwave evolves, the OptiX RTN 950A supports Integrated IP radio. As a result, the equipment can support Hybrid microwave and Packet microwave at the same time, and can simultaneously transmit multiple types of services at air interfaces.

Integrated IP radio

To achieve flexible grooming of TDM services and packet services on the Integrated IP radio, the OptiX RTN 950A is embedded with dual service planes: TDM service processing plane and packet service processing plane. TDM services and packet services can be flexibly transmitted over the Integrated IP radio, as shown in Figure 1.

• TDM service processing plane
  Performs cross-connections on the incoming TDM services (E1 services or STM-1 services), and transmits the services to the microwave ports.
• Packet service processing plane
  Performs PWE3 emulation on the incoming services (E1 services, ATM/IMA services, and Ethernet services), encapsulates them into the MPLS packets, and transmits the Ethernet frames that bear the MPLS packets to the microwave ports. However, Ethernet services can be directly transmitted to the microwave ports in Native mode after Layer 2 switching.

Native TDM services, MPLS packets, or Native Ethernet services need to be groomed to the microwave port, encapsulated into microwave frames, and then transmitted on microwave links. TheIntegrated IP radio serves as Hybrid microwave when TDM services are scheduled to the microwave port over the TDM service processing plane and Ethernet services are scheduled to the microwave port over the packet service processing plane; the Integrated IP radio serves as Packet microwave when TDM services are encapsulated into MPLS/PWE3 packets on the packet service processing plane and then scheduled to the microwave port.

  Figure 3-2 Hybrid/Packet integrated IP microwave 

The Hybrid/Packet integrated IP microwave has the following features:

• Transmits one, or several of the TDM services, MPLS/PWE3 services, and Native Ethernet services.
• Supports the AM function. E1 services and packet services can be configured with priority. When AM is switched to the reference mode, the services with higher priority are transmitted with preference.

2. Service Interfaces

The OptiX RTN 950A provides several service interfaces on the system control, switching, and timing board, and it is also able to provide a wide-assortment of service interfaces by configuring appropriate service interface boards.

ODU

The ODU is an integrated system that is available in several models. The architectures and working principles of the various ODU models are similar.

Block Diagram

  Figure 4-1 Block diagram of the ODU

Signal Processing in the Transmit Direction

The multiplexer splits the signal from the IF cable into a 350 MHz IF signal, a 5.5 MHz O&M uplink signal, and a -48 V DC power signal.

In the transmit direction, the IF signal is processed as follows:

1. After the up-conversion, filtering, and amplification are completed, the IF signal is converted into the RF signal and then is sent to the AMP amplifier unit.
2. The AMP amplifies the RF signal (the output power of the signal can be controlled by the IDU software).
3. After the amplification, the RF signal is sent to the antenna through the duplexer.

The O&M uplink signal is a 5.5 MHz ASK-modulated signal and is demodulated in the CTRL control unit.

The -48 V DC power signal is sent to the PWR power unit where the secondary power supply that uses a different voltage is generated and provided to the modules of the ODU.

Signal Processing in the Receive Direction

The duplexer separates the RF signal from the antenna signal. The RF signal is amplified in the low noise amplifier (LNA). After the down-conversion, filtering, and amplification are completed, the RF signal is converted into the 140 MHz IF signal and then is sent to the multiplexer.

The O&M downlink signal is modulated under the ASK scheme in the CTRL unit. The 10 MHz signal is generated through the modulation and is sent to the multiplexer. The CTRL unit also detects the received signal power through the RSSI detection circuit and provides the RSSI interface.

The IF signal and the O&M downlink signal are combined in the multiplexer and then are sent to the IDU through the IF cable.
