Objectives By the end of this chapter the student will be able to :- State the functional areas of the Horizon II macro cabinet. • Describe the functions and operation of the Horizon II macro Digital modules. • Describe the cabinet RF Components.
Antenna RF interface to Antenna ( Transmit - Combining and filtering) (Receive – Amplification and filtering) • Three Main Functional areas: • Digital Cards • Radios (CTU2) • RF equipment CTU2 CTU2 CTU2 CTU2 CTU2 CTU2 Digital Cage == Controls the cabinet Alarms Power Supplies E1 Link Basic Block Diagram of Cabinet
The Horizon II macro BTS hardware supports the following functionality: • Support of 6x double density CTU2 Single or Double carrier per Radio. • Horizon II Site Controller (HIISC) • Integrated NIU Integrated FMUX • E1 support Enhanced E1 Redundancy • Increased Capacity/removable flash media • Increased RSL functionality • Expansion of Horizon II macro cabinets to support 24 carriers per BTS site. Horizon II Expansion Multiplexer (XMUX) Site Input/Output (I/O) Panel • Interoperability with current M-Cell and HORIZON macro products

Cabinet Power Supply Maximum 4x PSU per cabinet – One for Redundancy Depends on the number of Radios fitted. The Cabinet can support the three types of power supply • +27V (negative earth) • -48V (positive earth) • Nominal 120/240V AC
Power Supply Units All three unit types support the same PSU Alarms: • O/P over/under voltage. • I/P under voltage. • Over temperature. • Internal Fan failure.
