BS-240/241 II
1 Introduction
The BS-240/241 II is an evolution of the existing BSS products. Some modifications
have been introduced in the mechatronics which represent the latest state of technology.
The RF performance of the BTSs is not affected by the modifications.The architecture
of BS-240/241 II provides maximum flexibility to develop higher capacity BTSs with
reduced volume and an expanded number of 24 TRXs in 3 Racks with a modularity of
8 TRXs per Rack. Any operation for rack extension or TRX substitution doesnt involve
service interruption. The provision of a full spectrum of combining equipment allows
high power and minimized number of antennas. High receiver sensitivity is also
guaranteed.
The modular architecture and the flexible internal structure, enables the BS-240/241 II
to provide GSM features such as EDGE; this platform ensures that network evolution
is as smooth as possible.
The use of the latest technology reduces power consumption and improves reliability;
the reliability is also increased by the redundancy of all core modules. Easy integration
is possible in the already installed sites, for the backward compatibility with existing
SIEMENS SBS systems. High Site efficiency is assured for composite transmit power
with minimal footprint requirements.
Homogenous service throughout the network is assured by common BTS SW running
on all the platforms.
The BS-240/241 II primarily consists of:
Carrier oriented boards called Carrier Unit (CU),
Core boards COSA, COBA and
Combining equipment

The architecture of BS-240/241 II provides maximum flexibility to develop large and

small BTSs.
The BS-240/241 II mainly consists of:
carrier oriented boards called Carrier Unit (CU),
core boards (COSA, COBA) and
combining equipment
The communication between the CU and CORE modules is provided by means of bidirectional CC-link.
The communication between all other modules and the CORE Unit is provided by the
CAN bus.
2.1
Board Redundancy
Redundancy in the SBS ensures survival of the system even in the event of multiple
fail- ures. Modular architecture, in conjunction with the concept of split functions,
guarantees maximum survivability with a minimum of additional hardware.
2.1.1
AC/DC
Up to 6 AC/DC converters (only one Frame) can be equipped in the Service1A Rack
which provide n+1 redundancy. AC/DC converters work in load sharing, but n AC/DC
are able to supply the whole BS-240/241 II .
2.1.2
Core
The Core can consist of up to 2 (without redundancy) or up to 4 (with redundancy)
boards, which have a common backplane. The block diagram depicts the CORE
redundancy and the embedding of the active and the passive CORE into the BTS,
and the interrelation of both COREs.

Redundant COREs and their Interfaces
Both COREs (COBA0, COSA0 and COBA1, COSA1) have link interfaces to the Abis
lines, but only one (the active CORE) can be connected.
Both the active and the passive CORE have links to the carrier units (CU); in reverse,
each CU is linked with both COREs. The traffic data are transmitted transparently
through the active CORE. Signal processing takes place only within the CUs.
The endpoints of each link are built up by SELIC ASICs (note: one SELIC contains
double functionality), where on the CU, one SELIC serves two COREs. In the case of
a switch over, the SELICs on the active CORE are disabled by the switch logic and the
SELICs on the passive one are enabled.
The RD interface (redundancy interface) is realized as a 2 Mbit/s HDLC link which
provides a communication interface between the two main processors.
The CLK of the active CORE is connected with the one on the passive CORE. It allows
the passive CLK to be synchronized to the active one.
NOTE: the redundancy is implemented in a cold-standby mode, i.e., all calls will get
lost if a CORE switch over occurs.
2.2
Rack Configuration
The BS-240/241 II family, with 8 transceivers per Rack, is expandable up to 24 transceivers in 3 Racks and can be supplied in two versions:
a BS-240 for indoor installation
a BS-241 for outdoor installation
There are 4 different types of Rack:
Base Rack/Shelter (with Core modules)
Extension Rack/Shelter (for more then 8 CUs)
Service1 Rack/Shelter (with AC/DC modules)
Service2 Rack/Shelter (for LE and batteries)
It is possible to connect up to 3 Racks/Shelters together (1 Base Rack, 2 Extension
Racks; the more possible Racks/Shelters called Service Rack/Shelter are not part of a
Rack Extension in the proprietary sense) that realizes then the performance of a 24
TRX BTSE as shown in Fig. 2.5 and Fig. 2.6:

Core (COBA and COSA)

The Core has the following tasks inside of the BTSE:
local controlling of the entire BTSE
generation of system clocks
providing of up to 8 Abis-interfaces to BSC or other BTSEs
routing of Abis-data to up to 24 CUs
providing an interface to the LMT Evolution/OMT
handling and processing of O&M-messages
Therefore, the Core can consist of up to 2 (without redundancy) or up to 4 (with redundancy) boards. The following illustration shows the connection of the CU units and

Connections of Major Modules
If more then 12 Carrier Units in the Base Rack or an Extension Rack are installed in
addition to the COBA module, a COSA module is mandatory.
Hot Plug-in: A Hot Plug-in of the Core-boards (COBA and COSA) is possible. This
means that these boards can be plugged in/out with voltage switched on and no other
HW inside of the Rack is disturbed (no loss of data on other boards) or a board is
destroyed.
A COBA-board can only be pulled out, if before the COSA-board is pulled out
After plug-in of a Core-board, this board is in the reset-state and all bus-drivers of
external busses are in tristate. These drivers will be enabled not before initialization of
the devices, which serve the external busses.
3.1.1
Core Basis (COBA)

Two COBA boards are developed:
COBA2P8
COBA4P12
The first digit gives the number of Abis-Interfaces, the following letter the kind of
Abis-interface (e.g. P for PCM30/24), and the following digit the number of CU-interfaces, e.g., COBA2P8 (2 PCM30/24 Abis-interfaces, 8 CU interfaces).
The COBA4P12 board permits to optimise the split of CU-links and Abis interfaces.
The primarily concepts of the COBA2P8 / COBA4P12 cards are:
Low impact on O&M software
Pin compatibility
Maintenance of the current functionality (same feature, same redundancy concept)

Maintenance of the current LEDs signalling philosophy
A mixed configuration with COBA2P8 and COBA4P12 in the same BTSE is not
supported.
The COBA is the central board of the core. The main components of this board are the
Base Core Controller (BCC), the Advanced CLock Generation (ACLK), the SErial Link
Interface Controller (SELIC) that manage the external interface towards the Carrier
Units, the PCM30/24 Abis interfaces, the internal system alarm interface and also an
interface to one satellite board (COSA) to expandi the COBA.
The most important functionalities of the COBA are the local controlling of the
BTSplus, the generation of the systems clocks, the management of all the
internal/external interfaces and the routing of data to the CU. In addition the COBA
handles all the O&M messages and it manages the SW download functionality.
To fulfill the CORE redundancy aspects a redundant COBA can be installed. It works in
standby mode. In case of a serious fault to the active COBA, the redundancy algorithm
switches over the redundant one. The redundancy implemented is a "cold" one. This
means that when the "cold" COBA goes in service there is no synchronization of data
with the faulty one, the service is interrupted during the transition phase and all the
active calls are therefore lost. In the next "Fig. 3.2 COBA internal architecture." the
internal components of the COBA are represented.

3.1.2
Core Satellite (COSA)

Two COSA boards are developed:
COSA6P16
COSA4P12
The first digit gives the number of Abis-Interfaces, the following letter the kind of
Abis-interface (e.g. P for PCM30/24), and the following digit the number of CU-interfaces, e.g., COSA4P12 (4 PCM30/24 Abis-interfaces, 12 CU interfaces).
The primarily concepts of the COSA6P16 / COSA4P12 cards are:
Low impact on O&M software
Maintenance of the current functionality (same feature, same redundancy concept)
Pin compatibility
Maintenance of the current LEDs signalling philosophy
The main task of the COSA board is to increase the number of the Abis-interfaces and
CC-links of the Core Board (COBA) in order to provide in total up to 8 PCM30/24 ports
and up to 24 Carrier Units (CU).
The COSA is controlled via a satellite interface by the COBA and receives the
working-clock from the COBA.

Core Link Extension (COREXT)

The COREXT board has to be used inside the COSA slot if no COSA is used and
more than 2 PCM interfaces or 8 CC-links (8 CUs ) shall be used with the COBA4P12.
The Core Link Extension board connects 4 CU ports and 2 Abis ports located at
COBA4P12 board via core backplane to the appropriate interfaces.
The COREXT is only a passive board without DC supply interface.
Two external Abis (PCM) lines are connected directly to the COREXT board. These
Abis
(PCM) lines are routed to the COBA4P12.
If Core redundancy is required, two COREXT boards shall be installed.
To apply the feature cross connect, either COSA4P12 or COREXT board must be
installed in Base Rack together with COBA4P12.

3.2
Carrier Unit (CU)

The Carrier Unit (CU) is composed by an analogue receive and transmit part with a
Synthesiser and Power Amplifier (PA), by a SIgnal PROcessing unit (SIPRO) as well
as a Power Supply Unit (PSU). It has two receive inputs, one for the normal path, the
other for the diversity path. The CU contains all the functions that make up one carrier
and include synthesiser hopping and advanced equalizer functions for high speed
applications.Besides it takes care for all carrier oriented tasks. In the uplink (UL)
direction two RF signals (diversity) are received and finally converted into TRAU
frames (PCU frames for GPRS) and signalling data. In the downlink (DL) direction,
TRAU frames and signalling data are received and converted into a GMSK
modulated RF signal, which is amplified to the desired power level.
There are three variants of the CU for the different frequency bands R-GSM 900, GSM
1800 and GSM 1900. The differences of the variants arise mainly on the Power Amplifier.

Internal Components of the Carrier Unit.
Power Amplifier and Transceiver Unit (PATRX)

The Power Amplifier and Transceiver Unit provides the main analog functions of the
CU:
It receives the two (diversity) RF signals from the antenna combining equipment
and converts them down to IF. The downconverted RF signals are then
transmitted to Signal Processing Unit where they are sampled and digitally
downconverted to baseband.
It receives the GMSK modulated signal from the Signal Processing Unit. The
signal is then I/Q modulated, upconverted, levelled, power amplified, and
transmitted to the antenna combining equipment.
It supports the synthesizer frequency hopping.
It provides an RF loop between downlink and uplink path for the unit test of the CU.
Signal Processing Unit (SIPRO)
The Signal Processing Unit contains all the digital functions of the carrier unit,
including the following:
Signal Processing in uplink and downlink.
Control of RF on the Power Amplifier.
Baseband and synthesizer hopping.
Channel Control.
Radio Link Control.
O&M parts relevant for the carrier unit.
Link to the Core Board (COBA) via the CC link.
Additionally, also the following analog functions are managed:
Analog to digital conversion (IF).
Digital to analog conversion (baseband).
Management of CU local clock.
Due to the analog functions, the Signal Processing Unit is specific for the different
frequency variants. (one type for the GSM 900, and one for the GSM 1800, GSM
1900).
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
The Power Supply Unit is the DC/DC converter for the CU for all applications. It generates the voltages +26/28V, +6V (only GSM 1800, GSM 1900), +12V, +5.3V and -5.3V
for the analog circuitry and +3.35V for the digital circuitry from a -48V primary input
voltage. The PSU is mechanically incorporated in the CU.
3.3
EDGE Carrier Unit

The EDGE Carrier Unit (ECU) is a modified CU that uses the same interfaces as the
CU but supporting the EDGE functionality in uplink and downlink. In downlink direction,
the signalling and traffic data are received from the Core and converted into GMSK or
8-PSK modulated signal, which is amplified to the desired power level.
With the ECU it is possible to mix EDGE and non EDGE timeslots on the same carrier.
The ECU carries two independent receivers (normal and diversity channel) to provide
the antenna diversity function. In uplink direction, the received signal is converted to
the IF-band. The IF-band is then converted to a digital GMSK/8PSK-signal.
The mechanical design of ECU is identical to that of CU versions.
The ECU and CU modules may be installed in any kind of mixed configurations.
Further, any cell/sector configuration with a mixture of EDGE CU and normal CUs
can be implemented.
The EDGE Carrier Unit (ECU) takes care for all carrier oriented tasks of the BTS. In
uplink (UL) direction, two RF signals (diversity) are received and finally converted into
TRAU or PCU frames and signalling data. In downlink (DL) direction, TRAU or PCU
frames and signalling data are received and converted into a GMSK or 8-PSK modulated RF signal, which is amplified to the desired power level.
Functional Structure of the EDGE Carrier Unit
The ECU consists of following functional subunits:
EDGE Power Amplifier and Transceiver Unit (EPATRX).
EDGE Signal Processing Unit (ESIPRO).
EDGE Power Supply Unit (EPSU).
EDGE Power Amplifier and Transceiver Unit ( EPATRX)
The EDGE Power Amplifier and Transceiver Unit provides the main analogic functions
of the CU. In uplink direction, two (diversity) preamplified and filtered RF signals are
received from the antenna combining equipment. These signals are down converted to
IF and channel filtered in the RXFE stage. The IF signals are then transmitted to
ESIPRO, where they are sampled and digitally down converted to baseband. In downlink direction, the GMSK or 8PSK modulated signal is received from the ESIPRO, I/Q
modulated and up converted by the MODUP stage, which also provides the levelling of
the output power.
The obtained RF signal is then power amplified by the module EPWRST and
transmitted to the antenna combining equipment. A part of the transmitted power is fed
to the module PWRDET, which performs the power detection. This signal is used to
close the digital power loop.
The Predistortion Receiver (PDRX) down converts the transmit signal to the TX-IF for
the I/Q-Demodulation and adjusting the predistortion values. The transmitter is linearized by means of an adaptive digital predistortion which is applied to the baseband
signals. For the introduction of the ECU,a static predistortion was choosen for
lineariza- tion of the transmit path. The HW is able to do adaptive predistortion, which
can be installed by SW update. EPATRX is able to support synthesizer frequency
hopping by
the implementation of the synthesizer modules RXLO and TXLO. The unit test of the
ECU is supported by the module LTL, which provides an RF loop between downlink
and uplink path, tested ECU/GCU sends on the chosen test frequency with maximum
power on one timeslot.
EDGE Signal Processing Unit (ESIPRO)
The Signal Processing Unit board of the BTSplus is a part of the EDGE Carrier Unit. It
contains the following functions of the EDGE Carrier Unit:
Signal Processing in uplink and downlink
Control of RF on EPATRX
Baseband and synthesizer frequency hopping
Channel Control
Radio Link Control
O&M parts relevant for carrier unit
Link to Core via ASIC SELIC

EDGE Power Supply Unit (EPSU)
The EPSU is the DC/DC converter for the ECU for all applications. The EPSU
generates the voltages +26V/+28V, +12V, +5,3V and -5,3V for the analog circuitry and
+3.3V for the digital circuitry from a -48V primary input voltage.The EPSU is
mechanically incorporated in the ECU.
The EPSU is a slightly modified version of the PSU of the GSM CU. In this document,
not all Interface names are changed to EPSU. Therefore, PSU can be seen as a
synchronym for EPSU in this document.

GMSK Carrier Units (GCU)

The GCU is a resembled ECU (the main sub-units are similar) which supports GMSK
modulation only, like the CU.
GCUs and CUs differ in the RF output power value for the GSM 1800 frequency band:
GCU: 54 W; CU: 37 W.
There are different variants of GCUs for the frequency bands GSM 900 and GSM 1800.
The types of GCU are the following:
GCUGV2 GMSK Carrier Unit for GSM 900 MHz
GCUDV2 GMSK Carrier Unit for GSM 1800 MHz

Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler (DUAMCO)

The DUAMCO consists of two identical modules. Each module contains a duplex filter,
which combines the RX and the TX path together, to be fed to a common antenna. The
DUAMCO combines 1 (see Fig. 4.2), up to 2 (see Fig. 4.3) or up to 4 (see Fig. 4.4)
Carriers to one antenna and consists of two branches with the following elements:
a LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) which takes care of a low system noise figure
an attenuator (in case of installed TMAs, additional gains greater than the cable
losses must be adjusted by means of the attenuator)
a second low noise amplifier
a power splitter which distributes the received band to the CUs (Carrier Units)
a transmit path which consists of:
an isolator which protects the PAs (Power Amplifiers) inside the CUs from each
other in order to assure the required intermodulation suppression
a hybrid coupler which provides the reference signal for dynamic and static
power control. The corresponding not transmitted power is terminated in a load
including a heat sink (for DUAMCO 4:2 and DUAMCO 8:2)
an ASU (Antenna Supervision Unit) which is responsible for detecting certain
reflection factors at the antenna connector. The ASU detects the VSWR failure
and generates a failure information towards the O&M (CAN bus interface). This
information is subdivided in several levels with the following characteristics:
- VSWR < 2 neither generation of warning nor of an alarm
- 2 VSWR 3 generation of warning 'Antenna not Adjusted'
- VSWR > 3 generation of VSWR alarm 'Antenna Faulty'.
and a common part consisting of:
a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) for two TMAs (Tower mounted Amplifier)
connected to the TMAs by means of an antenna feeder cable
an O&M interface which transmits error messages to the BTS core via a slow O&M
bus (CAN bus)
The DUAMCO amplifier has two different operation modes:
the AMCO mode where no TMA is used
in case a TMA is used the DUAMCO is configured in the MUCO mode
The PDU provides the DC power supply and the alarm supervision of the TMAs. Alarm
monitoring is done with a signalling interface between DUAMCO and TMA, modulated
onto a IF carrier at 7.86 MHz.
3.7
Flexible Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler (FDUAMCO)

The combining module FDUAMCO used for CUs, GCUs, ECUs and FCUs was
designed for the following configurations:
two cells with one carrier
one cell with up to 2 Carriers
one cell with up to 4 Carriers
one cell with up to 8 Carriers (with COAMCO module)
For each system GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 one type of
FDUAMCO is available.
The types of FDUAMCO are the following:
FDUAMCO850VX
Flexible Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler for GSM 850 MHz
(allows the integration of the SMR filter functionality)
FDUAMCOPGVx
Flexible Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler for P-GSM 900 MHz

MHz
Up to BR 7.0 max. 4 TRX can be connected to the FDUAMCO, or 8 TRX with
FDUAMCO/COAMCO8 8:2. Each half of the FDUAMCO can be configured in
One-To-One mode (like DUAMCO 2:2) and Two-To-One mode (like DUAMCO 4:2)
by means of jumper cables, which bypass the 3 dB hybrid or not. One-To-One means
that the hybrid is bypassed, Two-To-One means that the hybrid is used.
The FDUAMCO has a CAN bus interface and supports one frequency band. (see
Fig. 3.6)
A mix of 2 frequency bands within one FDUAMCO is not possible. The compatibility of
the frequency bands of the combiner and the carrier units must be checked by the
customer.
The FDUAMCO provides identical VSWR alarms and CAN bus connection as known
from the DUAMCO modules.
The integrated TMA interface is identical to the interface like in the DUAMCO
modules.
The use of the integrated hybrid is optional (use of jumper cables).

For more information about the FDUAMCO please refer to page 49.

Co-Duplexer and Multicoupler Extension for 8:2

(COAMCO8)
A COAMCO8 unit consist of two identical Modules (0/1), each having a transmit and a
receive path. The COAMCO8 is used in conjunction with a FDUAMCO in 4:2
configuration to provide an 8:2 configuration. (see Fig. 4.16)
The COAMCO8 combines 2 additional Carriers per module with the 2 Carriers from
the four output of the FDUAMCO.
3.9
Dual Integrated Amplifier Multicoupler (DIAMCO)

The installation of a DIAMCO Unit is required to implement two cells/sectors with RX
diversity in a Base or Extension Rack.
For the uplink direction, the DIAMCO module is used to split the RX antenna signal to
several receiver inputs.Therefore it filters and distributes the received signals to the
Carrier Units in one Rack. The DIAMCO consists of two branches constituted by:
a receive filter
a low noise amplifier (LNA) which takes care of a low system noise figure
an attenuator
a second low noise amplifier
a power splitter which distributes the received band to the CUs (Carrier Units)
and a common part constituted by:
a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) for two TMAs (Tower mounted Amplifier)
connected to the TMAs by means of an antenna feeder cable
an O&M interface which transmits error messages to the BTS core via a slow
O&M
bus (CAN bus)
The DIAMCO RX amplifier has two different operation modes:
the AMCO mode where no TMA is used
in case a TMA is used the DIAMCO is configured in the MUCO mode
3.10
Filter Combiner (FICOM)

With the FICOM, it is possible to combine up to 8 frequencies in downlink direction
(TX) in one Rack. For the uplink direction (RX), the DIAMCO has to be used to filter
and distribute the received signals to the Carrier Units. The FICOM consists of remote
tunable narrowband filters (TNF). The advantage of this filter combining technique is
the very low insertion loss, if e.g., 8 transmitters are combined to one antenna.
In principle, the FICOM offers the following functions:
RF Functions:
RF Power Combining
Transmitter Spurious Signal Suppression
Isolation between inputs
Isolation output to input
Control / Monitoring Functions:
Antenna VSWR alarm thresholds setting and status reporting
Internal Performance Monitoring
Interfacing with BTSE
LED Display:
Antenna VSWR alarms
Tuning alarms
Presence of DC
Lightning Protection at the RF output connector (7/16)
3.11
Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA)

The TMA connects the antenna with the BTSE in order to amplify the receive signal
and pass through the transmit signal. The TMA contains two duplex filters, each on
one RF connector, to separate and combine the receive and transmit path inside of the
TMA. The TMA consists of the following:
RX parts of the duplex filter and
LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) that takes care of a low system noise figure of the RX
part
TX parts of the duplex filter
The DC power for the TMA is feed into the triplexer by the PDU (Power Distribution
Unit)
functionality of the DUAMCO or FDUAMCO or DIAMCO.
The Encoder/Decoder units of the TMA signalling interface generate an alarm for each
TMA separately by supervising the DC current consumption of each unit.
Note: When the TMA is used the DUAMCO or FDUAMCO or DIAMCO works in the so
called MUCO (multicoupler) mode. In the MUCO mode, the DUAMCO or FDUAMCO
or DIAMCO mainly works as multicoupler to split the receive signal for the following
CUs.
3.12
High Power Duplexer Unit (HPDU)

The High Power Duplexer has the task of combining the TX- and the RX-path into one
antenna, in order to minimize the number of antennas when FICOM is used. The
HPDU contains a duplex filter for the transmit frequency band and for the receive
frequency band, but no Low Noise Amplifier in the RX path.
If the TMA shall be used together with a HPDU a so called BIAS-T (DUBIAS) for
powering and signalling of the TMA is required. Up to two HPDU can be integrated on
top of the Rack below the cover and also up to two HPDU could be fit in the gap
between the inner side wall and the Frame in the Shelter.
Note: HPDU is available for working in the P-GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM-PS 900.
3.13
DC Panel (DCP)
The DC Panel contains the circuit breakers to protect the DC power lines for the
modules, the ACTP, FAN units, LE units. The LMT Evolution connector is integrated
into the front of the DC panel located in the Base Rack.
The DC Mains Supply Unit is located at the EMI-Panel of the BS-240/241 II Base
Rack, Extension Rack, and Service 2 Rack.
The DC Mains Supply Unit comprises the lightning protection (optional feature), the
EMI-filter, and the terminal clamps for external DC supply cable (-48V, 0V).
The lightning protection element indicates a fault condition at an alarm output
(Lightning
Protection Alarm - LPA). The LPA signal is linked to the Alarm Collection Terminal.
3.14
DC Link Equipment Panel

The DC Link Equipment Panel provides the distribution of the 48 V supply voltage to
the modules within the BS-240/241 II Service 2 Racks and integrates the required DC
breakers for the different circuits.
If link equipment is installed into Service 1A and Service 2 cabinets then the
associated DC:LE-panel can be equipped with breakers. The LE breakers can be plugin during installation of link equipment at the BTSE site.
At the front of panel, the high-current clamp terminals are located for connecting the
DC
supply lines (-48V, 0V).
The Alarm Collection Terminal module (ACT-C) is also integrated into the DC:LE-Panel
assigned to Service 2 cabinet. The ACT-C module is capable for collecting up to 8
cabinet alarms, and the alarms generated by fan units, battery temperature sensors,
lightning protection alarm (LPA / OVP), and Rack door open sensor.
3.15
Alarm Collection Terminal (ACT)

The physical function of the ACT is to transfer the alarm and command signals from
the alarm / command connectors of the BTSE subsystem via the CAN BUS to the Core
Controller. The interface of operator specific alarms (site inputs / outputs) is located in
the Base cabinet. For this purpose, an optional ACT master module (ACTM) is
installed into the Base cabinet.
The ACT functionality is realized by a set of modules:
Processor module
-ACTP
Processor module with interface board for external signals
-ACTM
Interface module for internal signals
-ACTC
The tasks of the ACTP are:
Interface to CAN Bus for alarms collected by ACTC
Rack address adjustment
The ACTM module consists of a processor board and an interface board (ACTA) and
is applied for following tasks:
Iinterface to CAN Bus
Collection of so-called operator available alarms (48 site inputs)
Indoor lightning protection
ACTC is installed once in each cabinet to collect all internal alarms. It has inputs for 16
discrete alarm lines: rack door alarm, fan alarms, temperature alarms and internal
cabinet alarms, which can be defined by the operator. In the base cabinet, the ACTC is
directly connected to the COBA.
For input of rack alarms, a 24-Pin spring pressure terminal clamp is used on the
ACTC. The ACTC board provides 4-pin connectors for DC output (-48 V) / alarm
interface and
2-pin connectors for alarm interface only to following units:
Fan units
Smoke sensor
Rack Door Open sensor
Temperature sensor
Lightning Protection Alarm
3.16
AC/DC Converter (AC/DC)

Up to 6 AC/DC converters (only one Frame) can be equipped in the Service1 Rack
which provide n+1 redundancy. AC/DC converters work in load sharing, but n AC/DC
are able to supply the whole BS-240/241 II .
Each AC/DC rectifier has an integrated fan to force airflow through the module for
cooling purposes.
A local AC/DC supervision and management system has been implemented which is
accessible via RS232 interface and external PC.
The AC/DC system has external alarms outputs to be connected to the ACTC.
The AC/DC tasks are:
output supplying all -48V consumers within the BS-240/241 II; input supplying of
230V AC 1 phase system for the world market and 208V AC 2 phase system (208V
phase to phase) for the US market.

The AC/DC and the backup batteries work as an Uninterruptable Power Supply
System
(UPS).
The nominal DC output power of one AC/DC converter module is:
1600 W for +50C ambient temperature environment (+122F).
Two AC/DC converter modules shall be installed into the AC/DC Frame of the
BS-240/241-II Service1 Rack at least (minimum configuration).
Up to six AC/DC Converters may be installed into the AC/DC Frame depending on the
effective DC power consumption required by the BTSplus subsystem.
3.16.1
DC and Battery Controller (DCBCTRL)

The DC and Battery Controller is the supervision unit for the AC/DC Converters
installed in the Frame AC/DC and for the Batteries charging of this set of AC/DCs.
A serial data link (RS-232) is provided for downloading the DCBCTRL set-up data (like
the nominal battery capacity of the connected battery systems).
3.17
Overvoltage Protection and Tracer (OVPT)

The OVPT is responsible for lightning protection of the PCM24/PCM30 ports of the
Abis interface and the external synchronization clock input of the BS-240/241 II
against over voltage. Additionally, the OVPT provides interfaces to connect PCM
tracers without interruption for monitoring the Abis lines. The OVPT is located outside
the EMI shield in order to terminate possible overvoltages before it enters the EMI
protected area inside the Rack.
The board performs the following tasks:
lightning protection of PCM lines
i
3.18
provision to connect external monitoring equipment without interruption. The lines

are de-coupled by resistors in order to prevent distortions.
supporting 75 coax or 100 /120 balanced lines
for 75 coax only a second version of the OVPT is available
provides grounding facility for the external cable shielding
provides stress relief for the external cables
In the BS-240/241 II system, the Over-Voltage Protection of the Abis Interface is an

optional feature.
Abis Connection Module (ABISCON)

The Abis Connection module provides the interface between the base cabinet and the
peripheral Abis-cables. The Abis Connection module also provides the feature for
monitoring the Abis lines.
The type of Abis Connector depends on the used cable for the Abis interface
symmetrical lines with 100/120 Ohm impedance
coaxial lines 75 Ohm impedance
The ABISCON module can be installed only as alternative to the Over Voltage Protection and Tracer module (OVPT).
3.19
Abis Link Equipment (LE)

The Link Equipment acts as front end to provide the Abis interface. Different
equipment can be used for wire or radio transmission depending on customer
requirements. If a Link Equipment is available at the telecommunications site, no
additional Link Equip- ment is necessary inside the BTSE. If the BS-240/241 II is
installed away from a telecommunications site, the Link Equipment can be installed
inside the Service Rack/Shelter. If radio transmission is required, microwave
equipment can be used. Direct connections of the PCM24/30 links are also possible.
3.20
Cover Parts
All unequipped slots in the Frames of a Rack/Shelter must be equipped with Cover
Parts, to reach a balanced airflow. If the complete Frame is empty, it is not necessary
to cover all the empty slots.
3.21
Backup Battery (BATTERY)

The BTS-240/241 II can be equipped with Backup Batteries that have to be installed in
the Service Racks/Shelters only. The backup time of each BTS-240/241 II can be
increased by additional batteries installed in the Service2 rack(s)/shelter(s) and/or
using the feature "Emergency Configuration". When the AC mains breaks down the
battery takes over the supply of the BTESplus. To hold the system in operation mode
for an extended time it is necessary to switch to this configuration after a predefined
time interval. In this operation mode only the TRX configured by the user remains in
operation. All the other TRX(s) of the installed CUs are switched off. The core
modules and the optional transmission equipments are supplied with DC voltage until
the backup battery is disconnected from the system load by the Low Voltage Detection
Circuit.
One frame AC/DC can be connected to two battery systems with two independent
connecting leads. One battery system can consist of up to three battery groups (one
group can consist of up to four batteries) which are always in the same Rack/Shelter
due to temperature control issues.

Example of Battery Backup Systems Connected to the AC/DC

The maximum DC-Output-Power of one Frame AC/DC is limited to 7800W. The
maximum current out of one battery system is limited to 50A (respectively 2400W at
48V). All battery systems connected to frame AC/DC should have the same battery
capacity.
3.22
Fan
The Fan Unit is responsible for creating a sufficient airflow in order to cool the inner
elec- tronics using all the effects of forced convection cooling.
In order to keep both the acoustic noise and the power consumption of all fans at the
lowest level possible, the fan speeds are (independently of each other) temperature
controlled via integrated sensors that monitor the critical hotspots to keep them in an
acceptable range.
Furthermore, each fan delivers a fan good/fan bad signal that is processed by the
COBA board (routed via ACTC board in case of a Base Rack/Shelter or the ACTC
board and CAN Bus in case of an Extension-/Service Rack/Shelter).
Mandatory fan units:
Six fan units shall be installed into
- BS-240-II Base Rack,
- BS-240-II Extension Rack,
- BS-241-II Base Shelter
- BS-241-II Extension Shelter.
Two fan units shall be installed into
-- BS-240-II Service 1A Rack,

- BS-241-II Service 1A Shelter.
- BS-241-II Service 2 Shelter.
Optional fan units:
Two additional fan units shall be installed into
- BS-240-II Service 1A Rack if more than 6 HU for LE (> 600 W) are provided there.
Two fan units shall be installed into
- BS-240-II Service 2 Rack if any HU for LE is provided there.
Four fan units shall be installed into
- BS-240-II Service 2 Rack if more than 12 HU for LE (> 1 kW) is provided there.
3.23
Heater Unit
The operating range of the BS-241 II is from 33C to +50C ambient temperature.
The task of the heater is to warm up the BTSEplus, if the temperature inside the
shelter is below the specified operating temperature range of the integrated modules.
The heater is an optional unit. The utilisation of heater unit depends on the climatic
conditions at the BTSE site if low temperature operation is expected.
For ambient temperatures below 5C, each Rack needs one heater unit.
If the heater is faulty, the BTSEplus will operate as long as the temperature inside the
shelter stays within defined operating range. If the temperature falls below the lower
threshold of the defined range, all AC/DC converters will be switched off and the
BTSE- plus Carriers go down. If the internal temperature rises into the defined
operating range again, the system starts automatically with operation.
In case of Shelter:
The membrane filter, and its integral frame which is made of a corrosion resistant
mate- rial, is fitted to the inside of the door to prevent dust particles or water from being
drawn in, and which may accumulate at the exposed exterior. The current design of
the filter is such that an accumulation of particles may reduce the cooling effects but
only to a level within the BTS environmental specification.
4 Antenna Combiners and Receiving Paths

4.1
Methods of Combining
In order to serve cells with different carrier numbers, certain combinations of combining
modules are required. These configurations provide the necessary performance in an
effective way.
For the UL (Up Link) path, antenna diversity is always considered. The required
splitting factor only depends on the maximum carrier number per cell without yielding a
reasonable technical penality.
With respect to the DL (Down Link), a trade off exists between the number of antennas
and the insertion loss for a given carrier number. Increasing the antenna number
decreases the DL insertion loss introduced by hybrid combining of Carriers to one
antenna port. For high carrier numbers per cell ( 5) filter combining becomes advantageous with respect to insertion loss but suffering from incompatibility to synthesizer
frequency hopping.
Nevertheless, for urban sites where the cell sites are usually small a configuration with
a DUAMCO 8:2 supports synthesizer frequency hopping and there is no need for additional antennas. Fig. 4.1 the different combining options are shown. The relationship
between labels and components is shown in Fig. 2.3.

Overview of Combining Options
DUAMCO (Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler)

The DUAMCO x:y modules contain duplex filters in order to combine the transmit and
receive path to one antenna connector. The receive and transmit part of the duplex
filter, respectively, provide the substantial part of the receive and transmit band filtering
required by GSM 05.05, 11.21 and JTC J-STD-007.
The receive path consists of a LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) and a power splitter. The
LNA takes care of a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case of
malfunction of one amplifier, the RX gain of the DUAMCO decreases by about 6 dB.
The power splitter distributes the received band to the CUs (Carrier Units). A splitting
factor of 4 (or 8 in case of DUAMCO 8:2) is implemented in order to feed 4 (8) CUs.
The DUAMCO amplifier has two different operation modes which can be selected by
e.g. DIP switches. In the following, mode 1 is called AMCO mode and the second
mode is called MUCO mode. In the AMCO mode where no TMA (Tower mounted
Amplifier) is used, the DUAMCO gain is around 19 dB. In case a TMA is used, the
DUAMCO is configured in the MUCO mode. In the MUCO mode, the gain is reduced
to about 0 dB. This adjustment is only done once during the installation of the BTSE by
the service personal. The selected mode can be read by O&M SW via CAN bus
interface.
The transmit path consists of isolators, a hybrid coupler with load (for some modules)
and an ASU (Antenna Supervision Unit). The isolators have to protect the PAs (Power
Amplifiers) inside the CUs from each other in order to assure the required intermodulation suppression. Two different hybrid couplers (2:1, 4:1) combine up to 4 Carriers to
one antenna. The corresponding not transmitted power is terminated in a load
including cooler. The ASU is responsible for detecting certain reflection factors at the
antenna connector and is connected to the O&M interface.
The O&M interface of the DUAMCO transmits error messages to the BTS core via a
slow O&M bus (CAN bus).
The DUAMCOs x:y are named depending on the number x of transmit connectors fed
by the CUs and the number y of antenna connectors. The following figures show the
different DUAMCOs implemented by a set of equal sub-modules.
The DUAMCOs are implemented for seven different frequency bands: GSM 850,
P-GSM 900, GSM 1800 (DUAMCO 2:2 , DUAMCO 4:2 and DUAMCO 8:2); E-GSM
900, R-GSM 900, GSM-RE 900, GSM 1900 ( DUAMCO 2:2 and DUAMCO 4:2). The
division of the GSM 900 band (39 MHz) in two interleaved sub-bands (25 MHz each,
P-GSM and GSM-RE) results from the required filter volume for the whole band.(see

DUAMCO 8:2
FDUAMCO (Flexible Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler) / DUAMCO
The FDUAMCO modules contain duplex filters in order to combine the transmit and
receive path to one antenna connector. The receive and transmit part of the duplex
filter, respectively, provide the substantial part of the receive and transmit band filtering
required by GSM 05.05, 11.21 and JTC J-STD-007.
The receive path consists of a LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) and a power splitter. The
LNA ensures a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case of
malfunction of one amplifier, the RX gain of the FDUAMCO decreases by about 6 dB.
The power splitter distributes the received band to the carrier units. A splitting factor of
4 is implemented in order to feed up to 4 Carriers. Additionally, the FDUAMCO has a
cascade output.
The FDUAMCO amplifier has two different operation modes which can be selected by
DIP switches. One mode is called AMCO mode and the other is called MUCO mode.
In the AMCO mode where no TMA is used, the FDUAMCO gain is around 19 dB. In
case a TMA is used, the FDUAMCO is configured in the MUCO mode. In the MUCO
mode, the gain is reduced to about 0 dB. The exact gain of the FDUAMCO to
compensate the cable losses can be adjusted for this mode with a DIP switch. This
adjustment is only done once during the installation of the BTSE by the service
personal. The selected mode can be read by O&M software via CAN bus interface.
The transmit path consists of isolators, a hybrid coupler depending on jumper setting
and an ASU (Antenna Supervision Unit). The isolators have to protect the PAs (Power
Amplifiers) inside the carrier units from each other in order to assure the required intermodulation suppression. By usage of a hybrid coupler up to 4 Carriers are combined to
one antenna. The corresponding not transmitted power is terminated in a load
including
cooler. The ASU is responsible for detecting certain reflection factors at the antenna
connector and is connected to the O&M interface.
The O&M interface of the FDUAMCO transmits error messages to the BTS Core via
CAN bus.
FICOM (Filter Combiner)
The filter combiner consists of a band pass filter for filtering the transmit frequency
band, the VSWR supervision unit, as well as remotely tunable narrowband filters (TNF)
with their control logic and the isolators for every TX input.
The low loss power addition is carried out by combining the outputs of TNFs inside the
FICOM. These TNFs are remotely tuned to the channel frequency of the
corresponding carrier. The minimum number of inputs to be combined is 2. It is
possible to combine a maximum number of 8 inputs by adding 'expansion modules' to
the 'base module'.
A TNF is first coarse tuned to the desired channel. If RF power is supplied to the TNF
it automatically performs a fine tuning to ensure the best RF behavior. With this
automatic tuning process, the drift of the passband filter center frequency is
compensated.
Therefore, the filter combiner can only be used with baseband frequency hopping, as
retuning of the TNF frequency requires up to 5 seconds. But for a large number of
Carriers (6 or 8), baseband frequency hopping has only a negligible disadvantage
compared to synthesizer frequency hopping.
The FICOM functions are carried out by two different types of modules. These are:
Base module 2:1
Expansion module 2:1
Each type of module is able to combine 2 Carriers. But only the base module has an
output for the completely combined signal (antenna output with 7/16 connector). Additional there is a test output at every base module. Also, the reporting of the antenna
VSWR status is only done by a base module. The different modules are connected
together by a special RF connection cable.
Therefore, the number of base modules is equal to the number of cells the FICOM has
to support. The number of expansion modules per cell depends on the total number of
Carriers per cell (2,4,6 or 8).
A FICOM Expansion module 1:1 doesn't exist any more. In case an odd number of
Carriers is recommended in one cell, only one half of the expansion module 2:1 is
used. For this application, one TX port remains open.
The FICOMs are implemented for two different frequency bands: GSM-R 900 and
GSM
1800.

DIAMCO (Dual Integrated Amplifier Multicoupler)
The DIAMCO contains two sub-modules with receive filters, low noise amplifiers and
power splitters.
For the uplink direction, the DIAMCO has to be used to filter and distribute the
received signals to the Carrier Units. With the FICOM, it is possible to combine 8
frequencies in downlink direction (TX) in one Rack.The receive filters provide the
substantial part of the receive band filtering required by GSM 05.05, 11.21 and JTC JSTD-007.
The LNA takes care of a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case
of malfunction of one amplifier the RX gain of the DIAMCO decreases by about 6 dB.
The power splitter distributes the received band to the CUs (Carrier Units). A splitting
factor of 8 is implemented in order to feed 8 CUs. Additionally, the DIAMCO has a
cascade output which is used for Rack Extension.
In addition, the functionality of a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) for two TMAs is integrated in the DIAMCO. This is the DC power supply and the alarm supervision of the
TMAs. Alarm monitoring is done with a signalling interface between DIAMCO and
TMA, modulated onto a IF carrier at 7.86 MHz: This interface is identical to the
interface between DUAMCO and TMA.
The DIAMCO RX amplifier has two different operation modes, depending on the existence of TMAs. The first mode is called AMCO mode, the second one is called MUCO
mode. In the AMCO mode where no TMA is used, the DIAMCO gain is around 19 dB.
In case a TMA is used, the DIAMCO is configured in the MUCO mode. In the MUCO
mode, the gain is reduced to about 0 dB. This adjustment is only done once during the
installation of the BTSE by the service personnel. The selected mode can be read by
O&M SW via CAN bus interface.
Due to the fact that TMA status information is available for the DIAMCO processor, the
DIAMCO itself has to switch the RX mode according to the TMA status. Each TMA can
be switched on or off by a separate switch. This cannot be configured via O&M SW!
For Rack Extension the first DIAMCO works in the AMCO mode and the following
DIAMCO sub-modules in the MUCO mode.
The O&M interface of the DIAMCO transmits error messages to the BTS core only via
the CAN bus.
The DIAMCOs are implemented for two different frequency bands: E-GSM 900 and
GSM 1800.

High Power Duplexer (HPDU2)

The High Power Duplexer has the task of combining the TX and the RX paths into one
antenna, in order to minimize the number of antennas when FICOM is used. The
HPDU contains a duplex filter for the transmit frequency band and for the receive
frequency band, but no Low Noise Amplifier in the RX path. If the TMA is used together
with a HPDU, the BIAS-T (DUBIAS) for powering and signalling of the TMA is required.
Up to two HPDU can be integrated on top of the Rack below the cover and also up to
two HPDU can be fit in the gap between the inner side wall and the Frame in the
Shelter. For the main RX path, one HPDU per cell is installed. For diversity operation,
a second receive path has to be installed. In one Base or Extension Rack/Shelter, one
or two HPDUs can be installed and a maximum of 8 Carriers can be connected to one
HPDU.
Fig. 4.7 shows the standard configuration for one cell using HPDU, FICOM and
DIAMCO for up to 8 Carriers in one Rack.
The HPDUs are implemented for three different frequency bands: P-GSM 900, GSM
1800 and GSM-PS 900 (P-GSM shifted to E-GSM).

Diplexer
The Diplexer gives the possibility to use one Antenna Feeder Cable for both GSM 850
with GSM 1900 and GSM 900 with GSM 1800 frequencies. One Diplexer is needed to
combine the 2 different frequencies at the BTSs side and the other one to separate the
frequencies near the antennas. The diplexer offers the possibility to reduce the number
of Antenna Feeder Cables in all cases where GSM 900 and GSM 1800, GSM 1900 or
GSM 850 and GSM 1900 Feeder Cables have to be installed in parallel. This is e.g.
the case where an existing GSM 900 network will be extended by a GSM 1800 or
GSM 1900 network to implement a Dual Band Network.

FCC Issues (for US Market Only)

In this chapter you find the maximum output power at the antenna connector of the
BTS.These values are only relevant for the US market.
Revised FCC Certification for ECU 850
For ECUs with 869.2 and 893.8 MHz frequencies, in order to fulfil the FCC
requirements in the USA, the maximum transmitting power of the corner frequencies of
the GSM 850 band (channel numbers 128 and 251, i.e. 869.2 MHz and 893.8 MHz,
respectively) is decreased for all carrier units available for the U.S. market. This
feature is realized per software.
The BTS evaluates the mobile country code (MCC) provided by the BSC via the
attribute "cellGlobalIdentity". If the MCC indicates USA, the BTS reduces the output
power of the corner frequencies dependent on the hardware type of the carrier unit.
The following table represents the maximum RF power output values for GMSK and

capacities of 85Ah, 92Ah and 100Ah are available.
The capacity of the Backup Battery can be increased further by having additional
batteries in separate Service Racks / Shelters.
Note: The Battery Backup Time can also be extended using the feature emergency
configuration.
5.1
Support of Emergency Operation for 3rd Party BBU

System
In the BS-240/241 II implementation the switch into emergency configuration (due to a
battery discharge alarm) is triggered by an "ALARM STATUS" CAN bus message that
has been received from the CAN node located in the Service 1A cabinet.
A special setting of the attribute "associatedString" in the command "CREATE
ENVABTSE" for the corresponding site input allows the operator to indicate that the
support of emergency configuration is required for the 3rd party battery backup unit
system.
