1.2.1 Versions
Two versions of ODU are available: ODU AS and ODU ASN. The two versions are similar. Differencies will
be pointed out.
Regarding ODU ASN, the units without isolator have SIAE code GE9xxx, the units with isolator have
SIAE code GE8xxx.
RF loop is available for ODU AS. An equivalent feature is available on request for ODU ASN.
Tab.1 - Net radio throughput in Mbit/s versus channel bandwidth for ALplus2, ALCplus2 and
ALCplus2e equipment
1 ITU-R F.384-10 foresee only the 30 and 40 MHz channel spacing. However, ALplus2, ALCplus2 and
ALCplus2e IDUs support 7, 14, 28 and 56 MHz channel bandwidth that are reported in this document for
information purpose.
2 40 MHz channel bandwidth is available only for ALCplus2e

Note: the 70 MHz RF filter bandwidth can be used for the 1+1 FD configuration, by coupling two frequency
channels on the same antenna by means of a RF circulator. This configuration can be used with the follow-
ing limitations:
28 MHz Channel Bandwidth (either 30 or 40 MHz channel spacing): the two RF cahnnels must be-
long to two different and non adjacent subbands. For example, subband CH1-2 can be used in
conjunction with subband CH4-5 or a farthest subband. In addition, Channel#1 cannot be used in
conjunction with Channel #8
56 MHz Channel Bandwidth: the two RF channels must belong to two different and non overlapped
subbands. For example, subband CH1-2 can be used in conjunction with subband CH3-4 or a
farthest subband.
MN.00258.E - 006 9
The 6U GHz band is split into eight subbands. A filter covers a single 28 MHz channel with a40 channel
spacing, according to ITU-R F.384-10.

a. With ACM, the power stability for the reference modulation will be 1dB. With ACM, for the modulation
schemes different than the reference one, the power stability will be +2/-1dB
b. With ACM, the power stability for the reference modulation will be 2dB. With ACM, for the modulation
schemes different than the reference one, the power stability will be +3/-2dB
- Transmit power with ACM Peak Constant Mode: each modulation transmits
the output power indicated in Tab.7
Mean Constant Mean: all the selected ACM
profiles transmit the same output power level,
that is equal to the Maximum transmit power
indicated in Tab.7 for the highest modulation level
selected
Hybrid Mode: the ACM profiles above the
reference modulation transmit in Peak Constant

a. The typical values are achieved with 48 Vdc of input power voltage. For ALplus2 IDU the power con-
sumption refers to the equipment loaded with traffic on Ethernet and 16xE1 interfaces. For ALCplus2 the
power consumption refers to the IDU with Ethernet and 16xE1 interfaces fully loaded.
In ALCplus2 1+1 and ALCplus2e (all version) the two power connectors are in parallel.
1.2.6 Hybrids
The ODU units of a 1+1 system with single antenna are coupled to the antenna by means of an hybrid,
available in different versions, whose branching losses are listed here below.
