1. INTRODUCTION

NEC’s new PASOLINK+ series; 6-38 GHz 155 Mbps Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)microwave radio systems are designed to transmit one synchronous transport module (STM-1, 155 Mbps). They operate at the 6-38 GHz radio frequency band using quadrature amplitudemodulation (32-QAM or 128-QAM), and have a transmission capacity of OC3 or STM-1. Inaddition to the PASOLINK+ systems for short distance links, NEC offers a complete productline of STM-1 radio systems that includes the 4, L6, 7, 8, 13 GHz 155 Mbps 128 QAM and 4,5, U6, 8, 11 GHz 155 Mbps 64 QAM systems for long distance use. For those systems,please refer to the other technical descriptions.

The PASOLINK+ radio systems are fully compatible with SDH Network Elements (NE). Thesystems consist of antennas, outdoor units (ODU), and indoor units (IDU). They areconnected through a coaxial cable for each radio channel. Available configurations are non-protection type (1 + 0) and protection type (1 + 1). The protection type is available for twin-path type and hot-standby type.

Regarding antenna configurations there are two types available. There is a one-antennasystem employing hybrid (HYB) RF combiner and divider, and a two-antenna system methodusing each antenna for two ODUs independently. The hybrid is the passive device thatcombines and divides the signals between two ODUs and an antenna. Therefore, the one-antenna system requires only a single antenna, however, additional loss between ODUs andantenna have to be considered. On the other hand, the two-antenna system has high systemgain as same as non-protection type.

STM-1 interface can be selected for electrical or optical. Therefore, PASOLINK+ systems areuseful in fiber optical transport system (FOTS). Additionally, Fast Ethernet interface can beselected for IP network.

The PASOLINK+ employs a full digital MODEM using enhanced signal processing techniquesand forward error correction (FEC). Moreover, the bit-error-rate characteristics againstreceiver input signals are excellent for applying FEC (32-QAM System: MLCM (multi-levelcode modulation) and RS (Reed Solomon method), 128-QAM System : QAM and RS).

The equipment can be installed easily and quickly using a PC (as Local Craft Terminal), andas a maintenance tool.

2. FEATURES

2.1 Advanced Technologies and Superb Performance

Throughout the SDH radio system, NEC’s own advanced technologies are used. Intensiveuse of Microwave Integrated Circuits (MIC’s) and Hybrid IC’s (HIC’s) make the TRP durableand compact. Also, custom made large-scale integrated circuits (LSI’s) are applied. Forexample, a new digital MODEM is incorporated in a single LSI chip, specially developed byNEC for the radio equipment. Furthermore, low-power high-speed complementary metaloxide semiconductor (CMOS) LSI’s are extensively used, making the equipment morecompact and reducing the power consumption.

2.2 High System Gain

5. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

5.1 Protection Capability

PASOLINK+ provides a protection switching system of Hot-standby protection (1 + 1), andtwin-path protection (1 + 1).

1. Non-Protection System

Non-protection system consists of one ODU, one IDU for 1 + 0 System, and one antenna.

2. Hot-Standby System

Hot-Standby system consists of two ODUs, one IDU for 1 + 1 system, and one or two sets ofantennas. The protection switch of this systems is performed by the TX switches on theODUs at the transmitting end and Hitless switch on the 150 M INTFC (or OPT INTFC) modulein the IDU at the receiving end.

3. Twin-path System

Twin-Path system consists of two ODUs, one IDU for 1 + 1 System, and two sets ofantennas. The protection switch of this system is performed by the Hitless switch on the 150M INTFC (or OPT INTFC) module in the IDU at the receiving end.

5.2 Antenna

The complete menu of PASOLINK+ antennas includes diameters of 0.3m to 1.8m. They aredesigned to meet stringent requirements on mechanical rigidity. Antennas with diameters of0.3m to 1.8m can be mounted directly to the ODU, making waveguides obsolete. This hasrelevant cost and reliability merits and makes the installation quicker and easier. ThePASOLINK+ pole mounting structure is designed in a way that the ODU can be replaced whilekeeping the antenna and mounting bracket, including orientation, in place. The reflectors of theantennas are covered with white diffusive paint and the mounting structure is hot-dipgalvanized.In the 6 - 8 GHz band, coaxial or waveguide cable with transducer is used for connectingbetween the ODU and IDU.

5.3 Transmitter-Receiver (ODU)

A block diagram is shown in Figure 4-5.

The transmitter-receiver is designed to handle a STM-1 signal in 6-38 GHz bands. Theequipment is designed to withstand severe weather conditions.32/128-Quadrature amplitude modulation (32/128 QAM) is applied.

Local Oscillator is employed for APC (Automatic Phase Control) loop circuit at the transmitterand receiver.

5.4 Indoor Unit (IDU)

The IDU consists of six (6) panels that have following functions. (Figure 4-1)

- 13 -

7. DC-DC CONV

• Converting ±48 VDC (option ±24 VDC) input voltage to several internal utilizing voltages

5.5 Other Tools and Materials

1. LCT

Local Craft Terminal (LCT) is the simple provisioning and maintenance terminal forPASOLINK+ system. LCT connects to the IDU. The LCT can control all functions andmeasures all monitor levels.

2. PNMS

NEC can provide an Element Network Management tool (PNMS: PASOLINK NetworkManagement System). These tools can be used for maintenance and performancemonitoring. These tools consist of software for UNIX or WINDOWS NT® OS.

3. Coaxial Cable (Interconnection between IDU and ODU)

The 5D-FB, 8D-FB, 10D-FB or 12D-FB coaxial cable (Low loss 50 ohms) serves as theinterconnection between the transmitter-receiver (ODU) and baseband unit (IDU). The cableexchanges I/O data signals, DC power, alarm signals, control signals for frequency and TXpower, RX level and ODU primary voltage monitoring signals and a pair of orderwire signals.Due to the use of different IF (Intermediate Frequency) for TX and RX, a single coaxial cable issufficient. This results in faster and easier installation.

4. Power Supply Voltage

The nominal power supply voltage is ±48 VDC. The guaranteed range of the same unit issufficient for nominal voltage of ±36 to ±60 V (±48 V) as well. In this way, commonalitybetween modules is achieved throughout the network even if different DC voltages are appliedat different locations. (±24 VDC power supply is available as an option.)

5. PASOLINK MONITOR (OPTION)

PASOLINK MONITOR is used for receiving signal level monitor and ODU-IDU/ODU-ODUEOW system. This is an installation tool for antenna direction pointing. (Receiving level canbe measured as voltage by voltmeter without PASOLINK MONITOR.)

6. Head set

Head set is used for EOW system.
