SUBMITTED BY- AKASH RAY 1

INTRODUCTION To provide reliable digital access links and fully exploit the potential of end-to-end advanced networks, NEC has developed the PASOLINK NEO, a narrow band point-topoint digital microwave relay system operating at radio frequency (RF) bands of 6/7/8/10/11/13/15/18/23/26/28/32/38/52 GHz. This system meets an increasing demand for digital transmission services, and will satisfy the needs for common carrier access links, private links, urban area networks, rural area networks, temporary networks or emergency links for data and transmissions. The PASOLINK equipment offers very high performance with large system flexibility, which is easy to install and is a field proven to be very reliable. The PASOLINK NEO system provides interface types of PDH, SDH and LAN. The systems consist of antennas, outdoor unit (ODU) and Indoor unit (IDU) same as PASOLINK series. They are connected through a coaxial cable for each radio channel. Available configurations are non-protected type (1+0) and protected type (1+1). The protected type is available for twin-path type and hot-standby type.

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

Transmitter-Receiver (ODU) The transmitter-receiver is designed to handle a STM-1 signal in 6-38 GHz bands. The equipment 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 transmitter and receiver.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Protection Capability- PASOLINK+ provides a protection switching system of Hot standby protection (1 + 1), and twin-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 of antennas. The protection switch of this systems is performed by the TX switches on the ODUs at the transmitting end and Hitless switch on the 150 M INTFC (or OPT INTFC) module in 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 of antennas. The protection switch of this system is performed by the Hitless switch on the 150 M INTFC (or OPT INTFC) module in the IDU at the receiving end.

XPIC (Cross Polarization Interference Canceller) PASOLINK NEO can improve its transmission capacity up to dual STM-1 in 28 MHz (27.5 MHz for 18 GHz band) bandwidth by using XPIC technology. In case of this capacity upgrading from one STM-1 system, the additional parts are dual polarized antenna, one more ODU/ IDU set, some XPIC cable kit and additional firmware. The upgrading can be realized with existing STM-1 equipment.

Other Tools and Materials 1. LCT- Local Craft Terminal (LCT) is the simple provisioning and maintenance terminal for PASOLINK+ system. LCT connects to the IDU. The LCT can control all functions and measures all monitor levels.

2. PNMS - NEC can provide an Element Network Management tool (PNMS: PASOLINK Network Management System). These tools can be used for maintenance and performance monitoring. 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 the interconnection between the transmitter-receiver (ODU) and baseband unit (IDU). The cable exchanges I/O data signals, DC power, alarm signals, control signals for frequency and TX power, RX level and ODU primary voltage monitoring signals and a pair of order wire signals. Due to the use of different IF (Intermediate Frequency) for TX and RX, a single coaxial cable is sufficient. This results in faster and easier installation.

19

4. Power Supply Voltage- The nominal power supply voltage is ±48 VDC. The guaranteed range of the same unit is sufficient for nominal voltage of ±36 to ±60 V (±48 V) as well. In this way, commonality between modules is achieved throughout the network even if different DC voltages are applied at 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-ODU EOW system. This is an installation tool for antenna direction pointing. (Receiving level can be measured as voltage by voltmeter without PASOLINK MONITOR.)

6. Head set- Head set is used for EOW system.
