Revision 2009-08-25 1st edition 1 System Overview 1.1 Summary DMW-P digital microwave communication system (hereinafter referred to as DMW-P system) is developed by our own R & D, in full compliance with the relevant recommendations of ITU-T, national standards, as well as the latest generation of industry-standards for digital microwave communication system products. The transmission capacity of the equipment is 4 E1, which is widely used in the mobile communications field. Usually, a DMW-P system terminal consists of an indoor unit (IDU), an outdoor unit (ODU), an antenna and an IF cable for connecting IDU and ODU. DMW-P systems in a network can be managed through a network element management system (EMS). By running the server program, all the network units of the microwave system can be conveniently installed, monitored and maintained within its operations limits. There are two sub-series system of DMW-P system called 2101 system with LCD option (refer to chapter 7 for LCD) and DMW-P system without LCD option.

1.2 System Structure The DMW-P digital microwave communication system terminal is composed of the IDU, the ODU, the antenna and the connecting cable between IDU and ODU.

Figure1-1 IDU 1.3 System principle The DMW-P digital microwave communication system is composed of the IDU, the ODU, the antenna and the connecting cable between IDU and ODU. The ODU is connected to the IDU through the IF cable. The power supply power, bidirectional IF signal, the control signal and the monitor signal are carried by the cable. The DMW-P system can operate in the 7GHz ~23GHz microwave band with IDU shared between these frequencies. The operating frequency depends on the modules within the ODU, the different working frequency bands duplex filters, antennas and couplers. Network management software is suitable for all-band digital microwave equipment. The 10/100BASE-T EMS interface and auxiliary service channel are built into the IDU. After being processed, the main service data, and auxiliary data are sent to the QPSK modulator, the control and monitor signal are sent to the OOK modulator, the modulated signals and the power supply voltage are then multiplexed onto the IF cable for transmission to the ODU. After separating out the DC voltage, the transmitting module of ODU converts the IF signal to the microwave signal for transmitting through the antenna. After being received by the antenna ,the microwave signal will go through signal filtering, amplification, frequency down conversion and AGC processing; then the IF signal will be sent to the IDU for de-multiplexing and processing. The main service data and auxiliary data will be separated in the QPSK demodulator of the IDU. 1.4 Features The features of IDU are as described below Universal product design: all ODU products in the frequency range from of 15GHz are based on the same design architecture sharing same or similar IDUs Flexible interfaces: provided for multi-services connection The transmission bandwidth and capacity can be adjusted by software Use concatenation code technology (non-systematic convolution code, interleaving, RS code)and Forward Error Correction Technology It can be configured as unprotected (1 +0) mode or hot standby (1 +1) mode with hitless switching Installation is convenient; it only needs a cable to connect the indoor and the outdoor units. The maximum distance is 300m with RG8/U cable Powerful monitoring capabilities, a comprehensive status display and loop test functions The SNMP system is simple but effective and is suitable for a variety of network topologies. The number of NEs being managed can be up to 255. Compact design, small size, suitable for various environment including harsh environment The feature of ODU are as described below Comply with the ITU-T, ITU-R and relevant GB standards

When the signal is transmitted, the OOK signal from IDU will be separated by a low pass filter and sent to the OOK circuit for communications between IDU and ODU. After amplified by AGC circuit, up converted by mixers, filtered by filters and isolated by an isolator, the 310MHz signal multiplexed onto the microwave carrier. The carrier is then transmitted to the remote station through the antenna. When the signal is received, the microwave signal will be filtered, amplified, down de-multiplexed converted to 70 MHz IF signal. The signal will be demodulated and unframed, and then the main service data and the auxiliary service data will be separated.

4 Antenna
4.1 Overview The three most important antenna considerations are size, polarization, and location. 4.2 Size The gain of the antenna is proportional to the area of the antenna. Antenna gain is a measure of how well an antenna focuses a signal for transmission or reception as compared with a point isotropic source. The larger is the antenna, the narrower is its beam width and the higher the resulting gain. Narrower beam widths increase the gain reduces the multi-path, lowers the unwanted interference and enhance the received signal required to link up. However, the trade off is that it is harder to align and heavier. When placing an antenna in an urban environment, a slightly larger antenna may be needed than in a rural environment even if the distance between antennas is the same, due to more interference and multi-path issues. 4.3 Link calculation Microwave propagation loss in free space(Non-stop, barrier-free) is LsdB=92.4+20lgF+20lgD namely Ftransmit power, unit is GHz Dtransmit distance, unit is KMkm For example, 15GHz frequency signal is transmitted to 20km,the loss is Ls=92.4+23.5+26=141.9dB System gain equipment system gain is Gs=Pt-Pro namely Pt is equipment RF output power Pro is system receive sensitivity For example, Pt=19dBmPro=-87dBm so ,the equipment system gain is Gs=106dB Link total gain Gl=Gs+Gt+Gr namely Gt is transmit antenna gain(dB) Gr is receive antenna gain(dB generally, the size of transmit and receive antennas are the same. In such situation, Gt=Gr For example, transmit and receive port are both 0.6m antenna, the gain is Gt=Gr=36.8dB for high performance antennasso the link gain is Gl=106+36.8+36.8=179.6dB

24

link total loss Lt=Ls + Lft + Lfr namely Lft is the loss between transmit ODU and antenna Lfr is the loss between receiver ODU and antenna Example, the loss is 0.1dB,so the link total loss is Lt=141.9+0.1+0.1=142.1dB Link reserve margin microwave link reserve margin is Margin=Gl Lt For example, for above microwave linkthe link reserve margin is Margin=179.6-142.1=37.5dB For enough field margin, we adjust the antenna size, according to the transmission distance and operation frequency. Figure4-1 defines different gain and loss factor during one microwave link.

Another important characteristic of antenna is polarization. Polarization refers to the direction in which the electrical field (i.e., wave) of a signal is oriented. Normally, horizontal or vertical polarization is used. The

25

antenna at each end of the link must take the same polarization. Sometimes, changing the polarization is used to reduce interference. 4.4 Installation position Each antenna may be mounted on a roof, on a tower, or positioned behind a non-metalized glass window. Weight, wind resistance, grounding and the integrity of the bracket must be considered. The most important requirement for antenna location, however, is a clear line-of-sight (LOS) to the receiving antenna. Clear LOS means that, ideally, the remote antenna location is visible (i.e., no buildings, trees, hills, etc. are blocking the path).Generally, to go farther the antennas must be mounted higher. Locating antennas on buildings or hills is a good start. 4.5 Antenna Interface

Just the qualified and experienced engineers are allowed to install and maintain the antenna system. The vendor is not responsible for any damages caused by incorrect or unsafe installation. The antenna provides the Rx/Tx function of RF, usually installed on the tower or top of building. There are 0.3m, 0.6m and 1.2m types of antenna, which will be selected according to the circumstance. The antennas of both ends should adopt the same polarization, usually vertical polarization. To check the accessories of antenna and pole for their installation, see Appendix B and Appendix C.

32

5.4.2 Pole Installation Pole installation must be done before antenna installation. The pole can select hollow steel tube whose diameter is76127mm with the length 1.5m~2m. It must endure the wind speed 50m/s. The pole and antenna should be spray-painted with antirust material to prevent corrosion. There are following ways to install pole, and in all cases ensure the pole is vertically oriented as much as possible: Fix the pole onto the high tower. Fix the pole onto the low self-support tower on the top of the building. Enough loading capability of building-top is required and groundsill must be firmed, usually, adopting pouring cement groundsill and embedding foot screws to fix antenna pole. Fix the pole onto the parapet wall of the building (the parapet wall must be armored concrete construction and can bear enough resistance).Erect a 120mm pole (with less than 8m height). The depth of embedding should be longer than 2m, being poured with block cement around 1m2. There should be treads on the pole. The above installation ways would be selected depending on the circumstance. All of them need to abide by the lightning proof standard and grounding must be well done.

39

There are two kinds of connections between ODU and the antenna. 1. Connect the ODU to the antenna directly for 1+0 mode. 2. Install two ODUs on the combiner and then connect the combiner to the antenna for 1+1 mode.

Figure 5-161+0/1+1 ODU and antenna installation

If you do not follow the ODU installation procedures, not only the antenna accessories will be damaged, the equipment will not work also. It is advised that read the manual carefully before the installation. When the problem occurred, please contact our Technical Support.

40

The installation steps: 1. Confirm that the local ODU and remote ODU are correctly matched, one side high band and the other side low band. Rotate the four fixed nuts of ODU to move them to the top end of the screws. .Remove the protective shield of waveguide, and uniformly smear the lubricating grease around the waveguide.

Figure 5-17 Preparation for installation 2. Insert the four fixed screws of ODU into the four gourd-shaped holes of the antenna flange. Make sure the directions of the antenna flange waveguide and the ODU waveguide are consistent. Rotate the ODU counter-clockwise until the four screws stop at the end of the corresponding mounting slots Fix the four nuts by screwing down with the wrench on a progressive basis to ensure the ODU is mounted symmetrically onto the antenna. 3. Install the N-type male connector to the one end of the coaxial cable (for example, type 8DFB Installation materials and other accessories pack list). It is recommended that the maximum cable length is less than 300m although the cable length is typically 75 m or so 4. Tie the coaxial cable to the equipment along the pole in a stress reducing manner to avoid too much tension on the subsequent cable interface connectors. 5. Connect the coaxial cable and ODU with the N type male connector, then use the waterproof tape to cover connector interface to prevent water from entering the connector. The tape should be layered in a water skirting direction (rather than water trapping direction) 6. Connect the grounding cable to the grounding bolt of ODU, and then connect the other end of the cable to the ground point.

Failure message window will pop out when an error occurred during connecting IDU or setting the parameters. The message indicates where and why the error occurred while user can take simple troubleshooting. If there is any problem that cannot be solved, refer to Chapter 9 for help. 6.2.3 Field installation You can start the installation on site after the equipment setup. Check the Rxl after finishing the installation by LCT. If the Rxl is too low pls refer to 6.2.4

6.2.4 Antenna alignment If RSSI is quite different from the link budget or even no receiving signal, the antennas must be aligned. In general, the alignment is indispensable after installation. It contains horizontal adjustment, pitch angle adjustment and polarization adjustment, seeing Section 5.4.4 for specific methods. To align the antennas 1. Verify that both antennas have the same polarization (horizontal/vertical). 2. Check the connections of the cables are correct and reliable. 3. The line of sight must be ok while there is no obstruction between the two sites.
88

4. Slowly move the local antenna elevation axis (the azimuth axis should be locked) until you get the best signal in local (monitor the RSSI or the voltage with a multi-meter).Lock the elevation axis. 5. Slowly move the remote antenna elevation axis (the azimuth axis should be locked) until you get the best signal in local (monitor the RSSI or measure the voltage with a multi-meter) .Lock the elevation axis. 6. Slowly move the local elevation azimuth axis (the elevation axis should be locked) until you get the best signal in local (monitor the RSSI or measure the voltage with a multi-meter) .Lock the azimuth axis. 7. Slowly move the remote elevation azimuth axis (the elevation axis should be locked) until you see the best signal in local (monitor the RSSI or measure the voltage with a multi-meter) .Lock the azimuth axis. 8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 until the RSSI is equal or as close as possible to the calculated receive signal. 9. Tighten the antenna azimuth axis and elevation axis. 10. If the alignment cannot achieve the desired RSSI, reduce the distance of the link. 11. If the distance cannot be reduced, consider the replacement of a larger-diameter antenna. 12. Fix the waveguide interface cable connector and etc. 6.2.5 Further Configuration After the quick start, user should test the link and equipment and configure the operating mode, network and services. For further configuration, see the next Section 6.3

Method 1 and 2 can be implemented without configuration, but need to be operated at both ends. Method 3 and 4 need to set up the loopback state of E1 interfaces locally, but the operation can be completed at one end

Test Integrity2>4>1>3. Method 2 can test all the signal channels. Method 4 can test all the signal channels, without the duplex channels between the remote E1 interfaces and the external equipment. Method 1 can test the channels between the local external equipment and the remote external equipment. Method 3 can only test the duplex channels between the local E1 interfaces and the local external equipment. A reasonable choice of test methods can quickly complete the installation and commission. Using method 3+4 can ensure the Integrity and convenience. If the BER testing result can not satisfy the requirement, refer to troubleshooting.

8EMS System
8.1 Overview DMW-P system can be set up according to the demand as a large or medium-sized network. EMS is the network element management software used to monitor the status of various network elements.EMS can adjust parameters of network elements according to the actual needs in order to ensure the smooth conduct of communications. It can also show the network elements and their attributes. Through EMS, manager can configure the DMW-P system, monitor and analyze the performance, adjust parameters according to the displayed information and report network events. EMS adopts an operating environment which is similar with Microsoft Windows, a simple network management protocol to carry out communications and a platform based on TCP/IP for link management. EMS for DMW-P system has two parts: EMSinstalled on PC. SNMP agent, embedded in IDU. EMS and agent use SNMP to communicate with each other on TCP/IP. The SNMP agent includes a standard database and more than one SNMP Management Information Databases (MIBs).EMS communicates databases of the agent in order to obtain NE information. Therefore, from the functional point of view, EMS is regarded as a MASTER and agent is regarded as a SLAVE. For this master-slave relationship, there is an exception when dealing with the alarm information reported from the slave. These information or alarms that are sent to EMS from slaves are called traps. EMS cannot receive traps directly until the destination IP of these traps has been user-defined.. 8.2 Features EMS has features as follows: WINDOWS-based graphical environment for user interface Configuration for connecting sites Observation for all data ports
113

Remote Network Access Transmission monitoring Management for alarm, state, security, performance, test and configuration 8.3 Functions EMS includes five functions 1.

9 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

9.1 Overview If the equipment cant work normally or the link is down after its installation, the phenomenon can be seen as communication failures. Usually, not all the failures are caused by equipment itself. The maintenance engineer should firstly rule out the communication interruption caused by other external factors according to the fault phenomenon and restore communications quickly. If the fault is caused by the equipment, the maintenance engineer should contact the vendor. The failure source and key information are displayed on the LED in front panel; this can help the engineer to determine the cause of malfunction and isolate the possible point of failure. The common failures are as follows: The E1 interface signal is vanished or the user data does not exist. The antenna feeder is unconnected or inappropriate connected. The power supply is improper. There is serious obstruction in line-of-sight. The equipment is not in correct work status DMW-P system can be operated easily without a lot of complex preparatory work. Also, the fault can be located quickly with the states of the LED indicators in the front panel. The following sections will give the detailed correspondences between the states of the LED indicators and the typical states of various parts of equipment. Alarm definition, alarm condition and alarm handling will be described in detail. 9.1.1 Maintenance Overview Check power supply Check connectors of cables Check the Voltage range 48V20% Check indicators Check alarms of manage software Check environment (temperature, humidity, etc.) Maintain at least once a month

117

9.1.2 Troubleshooting clearance When the equipment breaks down, please do not disassemble the equipment without permission. You can analyze reasons through the following steps: Check through monitoring software and user manual (the flow chart of maintenance and troubleshooting). Check other link in the same way. Find out the phenomenon of failure. Find out the reason of failure. If the user can carry out maintenance, please carry out it step by step under the guidance of experienced technical staff.

9.1.3 Maintenance Notes Maintenance must be carried out under the guidance of experienced technical staff. When restarting equipment (cold start), wait 30 seconds to enter the normal operating status. If the settings of parameters have been changed during the maintenance time, the original settings must be restored after completing the repairs. If the equipment has been replaced, the configurations of the new equipment must be the same as the original one.

9.2 Normal Working When the DMW-P system works normally and the link is OK, the LED indicators on the front panel run as following

No testing action The NE management with EMS is normal and there is no alarm information 9.3 Power Supply-type Malfunction Failure in power supply may cause equipment power down, startup and working abnormally. This problem can be judged obviously by checking the PWR indicator in maintenance. It includes 1. The power supply range is not correct. The power supply type must comply with the equipment. 2. The power cable is short or open.

119

3. The power supply pin and on-off tangency is not good. 4. The fuse is bad. 5. There is a problem in the power supply module inside IDU. Troubleshooting 1. Check the power supply. 2. Check the connection of the both ends of the power cable. 3. Check that the power cable is short or open. 4. Check that the power supply type complies with the equipment.. 5. Check that power supply range 6. Check that whether the on-off tangency and fuse are good.. 7. Check that the grounding is good. 8. If the malfunction still exists, this may be a problem of the power supply module inside IDU that user cannot fix. Please call our Technical Support.

9.4 Connection-type Malfunction Connection-type malfunction includes 1. Failure in E1 cable connection between IDU and external equipment may cause E1 Signal LOS Alarm. 2. Failure in IF cable connection between IDU and ODU may cause IDU RX IF Too Low Alarm. 3. Failure in protection cable connection between host IDU and standby IDU may cause switch failure. 4. Failure in cable connection between IDU and PC may cause LCT operation failure. 5. Failure in connection between IDU and server may cause EMS management failure. Connection-type malfunction 1and 2 may cause corresponding alarm. But when the alarm occurred, it does not mean that there is a problem of connection. So eliminate the connection-type malfunction first when solve the alarm: check if the connection; try to replace the cable. Dealing with the connection-type malfunction 4 (LCT no response): 1.Check that the cable is firm. One end is connected to PC and another end is connected to IDU LAN interface.

120

1. Try to connect to another LAN interface. 2. Try to replace the cable. 3. Check that the IP address of PC and IDU are in the same network segment and the gateway of PC is correct. 4. Check that the IP address of IDU for LCT connection is correctly filled by user. If user does not know the IP, find it on LCD. 5. Restart the IDU. 6. If the malfunction still exists, this may indicate a problem in the network module inside IDU that user cannot fix. Please call our Technical Support. Dealing with the connection-type malfunction 5 (EMS no response): 1. First, according to the network topology, locate the non-response region the non-response IDU belongs to. The non-response region means the region which contains one or more non-response IDUs. 2. Find out the nearest IDU of the region to the EMS server. 3. Go to the field and eliminate the power supply malfunction first. 4. If the IDU connects the nearest hop to sever through a wireless link, check if there is an alarm at the near end or far end. If there is, solve the alarm; if there is not, contact our Technical Support for replacement (local or remote). 5. If the IDU connects the nearest hop to sever through a net wire, check the cable connection. Try to replace the cable or the LAN interface. 6. Check that the static routing table is correctly configured. 7. Check that the static routing tables of all the IDUs using the routing function (called the router IDU) on the link to the server are correctly configured. 7. Restart the IDU. If the malfunction still exists, this may be a problem of the network module inside IDU that user cannot fix. Please call our Technical Support. 8. Check whether the next IDU of the non-response region is still non-response. Repeat steps 1 to 8 to troubleshoot the non-response IDU until EMS can manage all the NEs in planning.

9.5 Alarm-type Malfunction 9.5.1 Alarm List Alarm Definition IDU RX IF Too Low Alarm Severity Fatal Alarm Description The 70MHz IF signal from ODU to IDU is below the requirement so that IDU cannot do further signal processing. IDU transmitting channel has fault in Local Oscillator so that the modulation of the 310MHz IF signal cannot be completed. IDU receiving channel has fault in Local Oscillator so that the demodulation of the 70MHz IF signal cannot be completed. ODU transmitting channel has fault in Local Oscillator so that the up conversion from the 310MHz IF signal to the appropriate RF signal cannot be completed. ODU receiving channel has fault in Local Oscillator so that the down conversion from the RF signal to the 70MHz IF signal cannot be completed. IDU demodulator has lost Frame Synchronization. The BER has exceeded user-defined threshold for consecutive seconds. ODU received signal power level is below user-defined threshold. ODU transmitter power is lower than Error Warning Warning Warning User Defined User Defined User Defined User Defined Settings and the difference between them exceeds user-defined threshold. One or more E1 port has no signal input. IDU temperature exceeds user-defined threshold. ODU temperature exceeds user-defined threshold. IDU sends alarm to external equipment through Output port 1.

NoticeWhen an alarm occurred, a warning message will be reported once; when an alarm disappears, a clearing message will be reported once. After the appearance of an alarm, the corresponding indicator lights become bright; they go out after the elimination of the alarm. 9.5.2 Troubleshooting Alarms 9.5.2.1 Serious Bit Error Rate Alarm For different situations, user can define the BER threshold into different levels. The default is 10e-6 that meet the general requirement. This alarm indicates that the BER has exceeded the BER threshold. When this alarm occurred the AIS indicator turns light. When the alarm is cleared, the AIS indicator goes out. Steps: 1. First check if there is a fatal alarm such as: IDU RX LO Unlock Alarm ODU TX LO Unlock Alarm IDU RX IF Too Low Alarm If one of those Alarms occurred solve that Alarm first. 2. Check if the BER user-defined threshold is reasonable. 3. Check that the RSSI is acceptable (-90dBm to -20dBm). If it is not, refer to Section 9.5.2.2, Troubleshooting RSSI Too Low Alarm. 4. Check that the baseband Signal-to-noise Ratio is acceptable. If the SNR is below requirement and the RSSI is normal, refer to step 6 for eliminating interference. 5. If it has dropped back below the BER threshold, note the time the alarm last. This may allow you to track down the source of the fade if this alarm periodically appears. Some possible sources of fading could be noise, interfering signals, temporary obstructions (such as someone standing directly in front of the antenna), or the operation of a microwave oven in the vicinity. 6. If the BER continues to remain above the BER threshold, check the link for possible obstructions or interference. Obstructions could be anything from new buildings or walls to growing trees or changes in the landscape. For example, if a tree between the two antennas grows enough to block the Fresnel zone, the BER will increase. Also, if that trees is removed, there could be multipath fading effects causing a problem. To check for sources of interference, look for other similar systems in the area or use a spectrum analyzer to detect the noise floor and any other signals in the vicinity of the antennas that are in or near the band. Note the frequency, power, and direction of the interfering signal. This will be helpful in adjusting the antenna direction or polarization to reduce the interference. Specific procedures: Align the antenna. Different from Section 6.3, this alignment is based on BER not RSSI. The excursion of the antenna direction may reduce the received signal energy and link gain, which could

cause error bit. In this condition the antenna should be readjusted for better received signal. The steps as follows: Loosen the antenna fixtures, then turn the antenna few angles (no more than 5) along the level direction. The error tester should be observed every several minutes after the alignment. If the BER drops down, rotate the antenna according with the original direction until the BER increases. Then reverse the antenna to the position with lowest BER. Use the same method to adjust the antennas pitch angel until getting the lowest BER. Fix the antenna. Antenna polarization If the BER has not got better even though the antenna alignment, then the Antenna polarization can be taken into account. The steps of checking and adjusting antenna as follows: Make sure the polarization direction of the two ends is the same. If not, adjust it to the same polarization. If the result is not improved, then rotate the antenna 90 clockwise to another polarization . polarization direction 1 BER Choose larger size antenna If all the above measures can not improve the received signal, then the larger size antenna should be used. The larger size antenna can not only increase the received gain but also reduce the external electromagnetic interference. polarization direction 2
