2.2 Module Functions

The following describes the functions of each hardware module in ZXSDR R8882
GUL1812.

TRM
l Optical interface processing
l Clock processing
l Uplink and downlink processing
l Frequency hopping
l Adaptive modulation rate
l Monitoring
l Indication
l Power supply and on-off switch
l Reset switch
l Interfaces for connecting external devices

PAD
l Amplifies downlink radio signals received from the TRM, and outputs the amplified
signals to the FLD.
l Amplifies four signals received from the FLD with the LNA, and then sends the
amplified signals to the TRM.
l Provides a pre-distortion feedback interface to the TRM.
l Provides an interface to the TRM for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) detection
(forward power detection).
l Supports separate switch-off.
l Supports Inner-module temperature detection.
l Provides read and write interfaces for module inventory management.

FLD
l Transmits and receives uplink and downlink signals in duplex mode.
l Suppresses spurious emission on the downlink to get acceptable out-band Tx
spurious emission required by the system and related protocol.
l Suppresses interference signals on the uplink to achieve a satisfied noise coefficient.

EPB
l Provides the lightning protection for -48 V power supply.

Description
One end is circular 6-core
cable connector (hole) with
plastic cover, the other end is
reserved for power cable. The
length of cable is based on the
engineering survey.
The grounding cable is made
up of strands of flame-retardant
wire. The cross sectional area
of ZXSDR R8882 GUL1812
grounding cable is 25 mm2.
Copper lugs are crimped at both
ends of the grounding cable
.
There are two types of fiber:
BBU connection and ZXSDR
R8882 GUL1812 cascading.
For the environment monitor
cable, end A is PIN header.
End B, with 3m length in total,
is made depending on the field
engineering conditions.
AISG is used to control the
electrical-adjustment antenna.

Cable type Connection relation Description

Antenna jumper Connects ZXSDR R8882 The RF jumper usually uses the
GUL1812 to main feeder finished 1/2″ jumper
with 2m length. The jumper
can be customized depending
on actual conditions. One end
of the jumper is N connector
(male) and the other end is DIN
connector (female).
