BTS3900A System
The BTS3900A consists of the AC cabinet and DC cabinet. The AC cabinet consists of the
APM30H and RF cabinet, and the BBU3900 is installed in the APM30H. The DC cabinet
consists of the TMC11H and RF cabinet, the BBU3900 is installed in the TMC11H. The RFUs
are installed in the RF cabinet.
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 show the BTS3900A system.

The basic components of the BTS3900A are described as follows:

l
The BBU3900 is used for baseband processing and enables interaction between the BTS
and the BSC.
The RFU performs modulation and demodulation between baseband signals and RF
signals, data processing, and combining and division of signals. The Double Radio Filter
Unit (DRFU) processes two carriers, and the GSM Radio Filter Unit (GRFU) processes
multi-carriers.
The power cabinet and RF cabinet house the BBU3900 and RFUs. In addition, the cabinets
perform the functions such as power distribution, heat dissipation, and surge protection.
The APM30H is mainly used in an outdoor environment with adverse air conditions.

BTS3900A Cabinet
About This Chapter

The BTS3900A cabinet integrates the RF cabinet, APM30 power cabinet, and the cables. The
BTS3900A cabinet is designed in compliance with the IEC297 standard. It has a modular
structure and the baseband signals and RF signals are processed in it.
3.1 Appearance of the BTS3900A Cabinet
The BTS3900A cabinet is designed in compliance with the IEC297 standard. It is a white vertical
cabinet.
3.2 Structure of the BTS3900A Cabinet
The BTS3900A AC cabinet consists of the RF cabinet and the APM30H. The BTS3900A can
be configured with optional equipment, such as the IBBS200T and the TMC11H. The IBBS200T
supplies long-duration backup power to the BTS3900A and the TMC11H provides space for the
transmission equipment. The BTS3900A DC cabinet consists of the RF cabinet and the
TMC11H.
3.3 Cable Holes of the BTS3900A Cabinet
The BTS3900A is maintained in front of the cabinet, and all the external cables are led into and
out of the BTS3900A cabinet through the cable holes at the bottom of the cabinet.

The BTS3900A AC cabinet consists of the RF cabinet and the APM30H. The BTS3900A can
be configured with optional equipment, such as the IBBS200T and the TMC11H. The IBBS200T
supplies long-duration backup power to the BTS3900A and the TMC11H provides space for the
transmission equipment. The BTS3900A DC cabinet consists of the RF cabinet and the
TMC11H.
Typical Configuration of a AC Cabinet

The components of the BTS3900A include the RFU, BBU, DCDU-02, FMUA, FAN unit, and
GATM, among which the GATM is optional.
NOTE
The RFUs are of two types: DRFUs and GRFUs.

The APM30H can be stacked on the RF cabinet or IBBS200T, the TMC11H can be stacked on the RF
cabinet or IBBS200T, and a IBBS200T can be stacked on another IBBS200T.

Function
The DRFU handles modulation and demodulation between baseband signals and RF signals,
data processing, and combining-distribution.
The DRFU performs the following functions:
5-42
It modulates baseband signals to GSM RF signals by using direct frequency conversion in

the transmit channel. After amplifying or combining the RF signals, the DRFU sends the
signals to the antenna for transmission.
It receives RF signals from the antenna and down-converts the RF signals to IF signals.
After amplifying, analog-to-digital converting, digital down-converting, matched filtering,
and performing Automatic Gain Control (AGC), the DRFU sends the signals to the BBU
for further processing.
It performs power control.

It supports Frequency Domain Reflectometer (FDR), enables accurate standing wave

detection.
It performs reverse power detection.
It supports frequency synthesis and loop testing.
It generates the CPRI clock, recovers the CPRI clock of lost synchronization, and detects

Functions
The core of the heat exchanger extends the area for the exchange of the air inside and outside
the APM30H, speeding up the air circulation and effectively decreasing the working temperature
of the cabinet. In addition, the core of the heat exchanger protects the cabinet from the dust.
5.9 Heater
When the working temperature of the APM30H or TMC11H is below -20, the heater should
be configured. The working temperature for configuring the heater refers to the local average
lowest temperature of each day in the coldest month of the year.

A heater keeps the temperature in the cabinet higher than -10. When the temperature in
the cabinet is lower than 5, the heater starts to work; when the temperature is higher than
15, the heater stops working.
When the heater works with 220 V AC input power, the maximum heating capability is
300 W.
