Step Description Figure


1 Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body. If the
patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomach
is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients mouth and
check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (dentures, chewing
gum, etc.).
2 Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand under
the patient’s head and one under his neck.
Lift the patient’s head and let it recline backwards as far as
possible.

3 Shift the hand from the patient’s neck to his chin and his mouth,
the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers closed to-
gether. While performing these operations take a good supply of
oxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open.

4 With your thumb between the patient’s chin and mouth keep his
lips together and blow into his nasal cavities

5 While performing these operations observe if the patient’s chest


rises. If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that case open
the patient’s mouth as much as possible by pressing on his chin
with your hand, place your lips around his mouth and blow into his
oral cavity. Observe if the patient’s chest heaves. This second
method can be used instead of the first even when the patient’s
nose is not obstructed, provided his nose is kept closed by pres-
sing the nostrils together using the hand you were holding his
head with. The patient’s head must be kept sloping backwards as
much as possible.
6 Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of twelve/
fifteen expirations per minute. Go on like this until the patient has
regained conscious–ness, or until a doctor has ascertained his
death.

SYSTEM PRESENTATION

ÓÓÓÓÓÓ

5.1 RADIO SYSTEM OVERVIEW

5.1.1 General

AL is SIAE’s PDH radio series for low–to–medium transmission capacities in frequency bands
from 7 to 38 GHz.
Different hardware versions offer a range of transmission capacities from 2xE1 to 16xE1, on 4
and 16QAM modulation.
Reduced cost, high reliability, compact size, light weight and full programmability are the key
features of this radio series.

5.2 COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

The equipment complies with the following international standards:


• EN 301 489–4 for EMC
• ITU–R recommendations for all frequency bands
• EN 300 132–2 characteristics for power supply
• EN 300 019 environmental characteristics (Operation class 3.2 for IDU and class 4.1
for ODU; storage: class 1.2; transport: class 2.3)
• EN 60950 for safety

AL (Compact version) – MN.00142.E – 001 17


1. TITOLO DEL CAPITOLO CM.89012.I

5.3 APPLICATIONS

AL main applications are:


• radio communication between GSM cells
• radio links for voice and data transmission
• spur routes for high capacity radio system
• emergency links

5.4 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The AL radio equipment consist of two separate units:


• the indoor unit (IDU) that houses tributary interfaces, modem and controller units
• the outdoor unit (ODU) that converts IF signals into RF signals and vice versa.
The two units are interconnected via coaxial cable. Fig. 5.1 and Fig. 5.2 show a typical IDU/ODU
layout whereas Fig. 5.3 and Fig. 5.4 show the radio block diagram in 1+0 and 1+1 configuration
respectively.

5.4.1 IDU

The IDU is available in the following hardware versions:


• 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+0 configuration, 2/4/8xE1
• 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+0 configuration, 2/4/8/16xE1
• 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+1 configuration, 2/4/8xE1
• 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+1 configuration, 2/4/8/16xE1

Compact IDUs consist of a single circuit board plugged into a wired shelf.
Line interfaces house tributary connections and, through a multiplexing/demultiplexing and bit
insertion/extraction process, supply/receive the aggregate signal to/from the
modulator/demodulator.
Line interfaces carry out the digital processing for the QAM modulator and, in 1+1 configuration,
duplicate the main signals on the transmission side and perform the changeover on the receive
side. Interfaces towards the ODU house the cable interface for bidirectional communication
between ODU and IDU, and implement the IF section of the mo–demodulator.
IDU power supply units process battery voltage and supply power to IDU and ODU circuits. The
controller section of the radio houses service channels interfaces, stores IDU firmware,

18 AL (Compact version) – MN.00142.E – 001


1. TITOLO DEL CAPITOLOCM.89012.I

CM.89012.I

interfaces SIAE management systems though dedicated supervision ports, and routes external
and internal alarms to relay contacts.

5.4.2 ODU

The ODU houses the interface towards the IDU on one side, and towards the antenna flange
on the other. The ODU shifts the incoming QAM–modulated carrier to RF frequency through a
double conversion. The opposite occurs at the receive side, when the IF–converted carrier is
sent to the IDU demodulator.
Antenna coupling in 1+1 systems is done through a balanced or unbalanced hybrid.

5.5 MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

AL radio can be controlled locally and remotely via SIAE supervision software:
• SCT/LCT: a Windows–based management system for small networks (up to 100 NE)
• NMS5–LX: a Linux–based management system for small–to–medium networks (up
to 750 NE)
• NMS5–UX: a Unix–based management system for large networks (up to 2500 NE)
These systems provide a friendly graphic interface complying with current standard use of
keyboards, mouse and windows.

5.5.1 Management ports

AL radio terminals connect to the supervision network via the following communication ports:
• Ethernet 10BaseT Port
• USB port

5.5.2 Protocols

SNMP along with IP or OSI protocol stacks are used to manage AL operation.

8 DESCRIPTION OF THE INDOOR
UNIT – PDH INTERFACES
ÎÎÎÎÎÎ

8.1 1+0/1+1 IDU VERSIONS

The following functional description covers the versions the IDU consists of as shown in chapter
“Equipment technical specifications”.
The IDU is made up of a single motherboard that houses all the circuitry realizing the following
functionalities:
• Line interface
• Radio interface
• Equipment controller
• IDU loops

8.1.1 Line interface

The line interface performs the following operations:


• multiplexing process of the input tributaries
• generation of the aggregate frame by aggregating multiplexed tributaries and service
channel.
Bit extraction and demultiplexing process happens at the receive side.

Tx side

Refer to Fig. 8.1. The 2 Mbit/s input signal is code converted from HDB3 to NRZ format before
being multiplexed. The multiplexing scheme depends on the number and the bit rate of the input
tributaries. Attached figures show different multiplexing scheme as follows:
• Fig. 8.2 – 2x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux performs stuffing operation on each single
tributary and generates a proprietary frame embedding the two tributaries to be sent
to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.

AL (Compact version) – MN.00142.E – 001 39


1. TITOLO DEL CAPITOLO CM.89012.I

• Fig. 8.3 – 4x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux aggregates the four 2 Mbit/s tributaries
generating a 8448 kbit/s frame as per Recc. G.742. The multiplexed signal is then sent
to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
• Fig. 8.4 – 8x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The eight 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in two 4x2
Mbit/s groups each of one generating a G742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s to be sent
to the next Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
• Fig. 8.5 – 16x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The sixteen 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in four
4x2 Mbit/s groups each of one generating a G.742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s. A
further multiplexing of the achieved four 8448 kbit/s streams will generate a frame
structure at 34368 kbit/s as per Recc. G.751. This latter is to be sent to the Bit Insertion.
Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
The multiplexed tributaries are then sent to the B.I. for aggregate frame generation occurring
at the following bit rate depending on various versions implemented:

Tab. 8.1

Version Aggregate frame


2x2 Mbit/s 4860 kbit/s
4x2 Mbit/s 9720 kbit/s
8x2 Mbit/s 19440 kbit/s
16x2 Mbit/s 38880 kbit/s

The aggregate frame contains:


• the main signal from the MUX(s)
• the framed service signal from the service interface
• the EOC signals for supervision message propagation towards the remote terminal
• the frame alignment word
• the bits dedicated to the FEC.
All the synch. signals to perform multiplexing (demultiplexing) and BI (BE) process are achieved
from a x0 at 40 MHz. The aggregate frame thus generates is sent to the QAM modulator.

Rx side

Refer to Fig. 8.6.


At Rx side the Bit extraction separates the main multiplexed signal from the service signal and
then after a proper demultiplexing process (opposite to that previously described at the Tx side)
sends them to the output interfaces.

CM.89012.I

8.1.2 Radio interface

This functionality provides the following:


• QAM modemodulation
• power supply to IDU and ODU
• telemetry IDU/ODU
• cable interface

QAM modemodulation – Modulation side

See Fig. 8.7.


The aggregate signal from the BI undergoes the following process in digital form:
• serial to parallel conversion
• differential encoding
• generation of the shaped modulating signals feeding the IF part of the QAM modulator.
This latter comprises:
• recovery low pass filter to eliminate signal periodicity
• 330 MHz local oscillator
• a 90° phase shifter to supply two mixers with two in quadrature carriers
The thus obtained 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier is then sent to the cable interface for
connection with ODU.

QAM modemodulation – Demodulation side

See Fig. 8.7.


The 140 MHz, 4 or 16QAM modulated carrier from the ODU is reaching the IDU through the
cable interface.
The connection to the demodulator input is made via a cable equalizer for cable loss
compensation.
The IF section of the QAM demodulator extracts the I and Q analogue signals then digital
converted for the following processing:
• clock recovery
• baseband equalisation and filtering
• bit polarity decision

AL (Compact version) – MN.00142.E – 001 41


1. TITOLO DEL CAPITOLO CM.89012.I

• differential decoding
• parallel to serial conversion to recover the aggregate signal.
The aggregate signal is then sent to a frame alignment circuit and CRC analysis and then to the
error corrector to achieve the BER extimate, the PM and HBER/LBER alarms.

Power supply

Refer to Fig. 8.7. The –48 V battery voltage feeds the IDU and ODU circuitry. The service
voltages for the IDU feeding are achieved through a DC/DC converter for +3.6 V generation and
a step down circuit for –5V.
Both voltages are protected against overvoltages and overcurrents. The power to the ODU is
given by the same battery running through the interconnection cable. A breaker protects the
battery against cable failure.

Telemetry IDU/ODU

Refer to Fig. 8.1 and Fig. 8.7. The dialogue IDU/ODU is made–up by the main controller and
associated peripherals within the ODU. Controls for ODU management and alarm reporting is
performed making use of a 388 kbit/s framed signals. The transport along the interconneting
cable is performed via two FSK modulated carriers: 17.5 MHz from IDU to ODU; 5.5 MHZ from
ODU to IDU.

Cable interface

Refer to Fig. 8.7. This circuit permits to communicate to the far ODU through the interconnecting
cable. It is mainly made up of a set of filters that:
• combine the 330 MHz, QAM modulated carrier/the 17.5 MHz carrier/the power supply
• separate the 140 MHz QAM modulated carrier and the 5.5 MHz carrier

8.1.3 Equipment controller

The controller functionality performs the following:


• houses the equipment software for equipment management
• interfaces the SCT/LCT program through supervision ports
• receive external alarms and route them to relay contacts along with the internal alarms
generated by the equipment.
The equipment software permits to control and manage all the equipment functionality. It is
distributed on two hardware levels: main controller and ODU peripheral controller. The dialogue
between main and peripheral controllers is shown in Fig. 8.8.

1. TITOLO DEL CAPITOLO CM.89012.I

CM.89012.I

Main controller

The activities executed by the main controller are the following:


• Communication management: it makes use of SNMP as management protocol and IP
or IP over OSI as communication protocol stacks. See Fig. 8.9 for details. The interface
ports for the equipment management are the following:
– LAN Ethernet 10BaseT
– USB port used for SCT/LCT connection
– EOC embedded within the PDH radio frame for connection to the remote NEs
• Log–in: the main controller manages the equipment or network login/logout by setting
and then controlling the user’s ID and relevant password.
• Database (MIB): validation and storing in a non–volatile memory of the equipment
configuration parameters.
• Equipment configuration: distribution of the parameters stored in the MIB towards the
peripheral µPs for their attuation in addition to the controls from user not stored in the
MIB (i.e. loops, manual forcing etc...).
• Alarm monitoring: acquisition, filtering and correlation of the alarms gathered from
slaved µPs. Local logger and alarm sending to the connected managers: SCT/LCT –
NMS5UX. Management of the alarm signalling on the LIM front panel.
• Performances: PM management as per Recc. G.828.
• Download: the main controller is equipped with two flash memory banks containing the
running program (active bank) and the stand–by program (inactive bank). This permits
to download a new software release to the inactive bank without distributing the traffic.
Bank switch enables the new release to be used.
Download activity is based on FTP protocol which downloads application programs,
FPGA configuration, configuration files on main controller inactive bank or directly on
the peripheral controllers.

Peripheral controllers

The peripheral controllers take place within the ODU and are slaved to main controller with the
task of activating controls and alarm reporting of dedicated functionality.

8.2 IDU LOOPS

To control the IDU correct operation a set of local and remote loops are made available. The
commands are forwarded by the LCT/SCT program. Loop block diagram is shown by Fig. 8.10.

8.2.1 Tributary loop

Tributary local loop

Each input tributary is routed directly to the trib. output upon receiving the command from the
LCT. The Tx line transmission is still on.

Tributary remote loop

Each tributary directed towards the Rx output line is routed back to the Tx line. The Rx line is
still on.

8.2.2 Baseband unit loop

This kind of loop is only local and is activated at BI/BE level. Tx line is still on.

8.2.3 IDU loop

DESCRIPTION OF THE OUTDOOR
UNIT
ÓÓÓÓÓÓ

10.1 GENERAL

The 1+0 ODU (refer to Fig. 10.1) consists of a two shell aluminium mechanical structure, one
shell housing all the ODU circuits, the other forming the covering plate.
On the ODU are accessible:
• the “N” type connector for cable interfacing IDU and ODU
• the “BNC” connector for connection to a multimeter with the purpose to measure the
received field strength
• a ground bolt.

The 1+1 hot stand–by version (refer to Fig. 10.2) consist of two 1+0 ODUs mechanically
secured to a structure housing the hybrid for the antenna connection.

10.2 TRANSMIT SECTION

Refer to block diagram shown in Fig. 10.3.


The 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier from the cable interface (see chapter 10.4) is forwarded
to a mixer passing through a cable equalizer for cable loss compensation up to 40 dB at 330
MHz. The mixer and the following bandpass filter give rise to a second IF Tx carrier the
frequency of which depends on the go/return frequency value. The mixer is of SHP type.
The IF Tx frequency is µP controlled. Same happens to Rx IF and RF local oscillators. This latter
is common to both Tx and Rx sides.

AL (Compact version) – MN.00142.E – 001 59


1. TITOLO DEL CAPITOLO CM.89012.I

The IF carrier is converted to RF and then amplified making use of a MMIC circuit. The
conversion mixer is SSB type with side band selection.
The power at the MMIC output can be manually attenuated, 1 dB step, by 20 dB (f ≥ 18 GHz)
or 40 dB (f < 18 GHz). Total attenuation is 40 dB.
The automatic adjustment is performed making use of an ATPC (see paragraph 10.5 for details).
The regulated output power is kept constant against amplifier stage gain variation by a feedback
including the AGC.
Before reaching the antenna side the RF signal at the output of MMIC passes through the
following circuits:
• a decoupler plus detector diode to measure the output power
• a circulator to protect the amplifier stages against possible circuit mismatch.
• a ON/OFF switch for 1+1 operation
• a 0 or 20 dB attenuator (f ≥ 18 GHz) to made up a total attenuation of 40 dB
• an RF bandpass filter for antenna coupling.

An RF coupler plus a detector and a shift oscillator made up the RF loop which is enabled upon
receiving a µP control. The RF loop permits the Tx power to return back to receive side thus
controlling the total local radio terminal performance.

10.3 RECEIVE SECTION

The RF signal from the Rx bandpass filter is sent to a low noise amplifier that improves the
receiver sensitivity.
The following down–converter translates the RF frequency to approximately 765 MHz.
The conversion mixer is SSB type. The sideband selection is given through a µP control.
A second down converter generates the 140 MHz IF carrier to be sent to the demodulator within
the IDU. The level of the IF carrier is kept constant to –5 dBm thank to the IF amplifier stages,
AGC controlled, distributed in the IF chain. In addition the AGC gives a measure of the receive
RF level.
Between two amplifiers a bandpass filter assures the required selectivity to the receiver. The
filter is SAW type and the bandwidth depends on the transmitted capacity.

10.4 CABLE INTERFACE

The cable interface permits to interface the cable interconnecting IDU to ODU and viceversa.
It receives/transmits the following signals:
• 330 MHz (from IDU to ODU)
• 140 MHz (from ODU to IDU)
• 17.5 MHz (from IDU to ODU)
• 5.5 MHz (from ODU to IDU)
• remote power supply.
The 17.5 MHz and 5.5 MHz FSK modulated carriers, carry the telemetry channel. This latter
consists of two 388 kbit/s streams one from IDU to ODU with the information to manage the ODU
(RF power, RF frequency, capacity, etc...) while the other, from ODU to IDU, sends back to IDU
measurements and alarms of the ODU. The ODU management is made by a µP.

10.5 ATPC OPERATION

The ATPC regulates the RF output power of the local transmitter depending on the value of the
RF level at the remote terminal. This value has to be preset from the local terminal as threshold
high and low. The difference between the two thresholds must be equal or higher than 3 dB.
As soon as the received level crosses the preset threshold level low (see Fig. 10.6) due to the
increase of the hop attenuation, a microP at the received side of the remote terminal sends back
to the local terminal a control to increase the transmitted power. The maximum ATPC range is
40 dB (f < 18 GHz) and 20 dB (f ≥ 18 GHz).
If the hop attenuation decreases and the threshold high is crossed then the control sent by the
microP causes the output power to decrease.
ATPC range can be reduced from the maximum value to 0 dB, by 1 dB step, consequently to
a reduction of the output maximum power through an adjusted attenuation.

10.6 1+1 Tx SYSTEM

The two ODUs are coupled to the antenna side via a balanced or unbalanced hybrid.
1+1 Tx switching occurs in the 1+1 hot stand–by 1 antenna or 2 antennas versions as shown
in Fig. 10.4 and Fig. 10.5.
The transmitter switchover is electromechanic type and consists of two ON/OFF switches within
the two ODUs that assure at least 40 dB insulation on the stand–by transmitter.
Transmit alarm priority is shown in Tab. 10.1.

10.7 POWER SUPPLY

The battery voltage is dropped from the cable interface and then sent to a DC/DC converter to
generate three stabilized output voltages to be distributed to the ODU circuitry:
• +3.5 V
• a voltage comprised between +6.2 V and +8.2 V to power amplifiers operating at
different frequency bands
• a –12 V through an inverter circuit.

Each voltage is protected against overcurrent with automatic restart.


Protection against overvoltage occurs as soon as the output voltage raises more than 15%
respect to the nominal voltage. The restart is automatic.

TROUBLESHOOTING

ÓÓÓÓÓÓ

19.1 GENERAL

The AL equipment consists of the following replaceable parts:


• IDU
• ODU
Purpose of the troubleshooting is to pinpoint the faulty part and replace it with spare.
Warning: the replacement of a faulty IDU with spare causes the spare IDU to be
re–programmed. To the purpose refer to chapter 19 for the relevant procedure.

19.2 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

Troubleshooting starts as soon as one of the following alarm condition: IDU/ODU/REM is


switched ON on the IDU panel from (see Fig. 19.1) or alarm messages are displayed by
managers SCT/LCT.
Two methods are used to troubleshoot the cause of fault:
• loop facilities
• alarm message processing using the manager SCT/LCT

AL (Compact version) – MN.00142.E – 001 153


1. TITOLO DEL CAPITOLO CM.89012.I

19.2.1 Loop facilities

The equipment is provided with different loops that help locate the faulty part.
Warning: the majority of loops causes the traffic to be lost.
The available loops are the following:
• local tributary loops: usually used to test the cables interfacing the equipment
upstreams
• remote tributary loops: usually used to test the two direction link performance making
use of an unused 2 Mbit/s signal.
• baseband loop: it permits to test the LIM circuits
• IDU loop: it permits to test the complete IDU (optional)
• RF loop: it permits to test the complete radio terminal.

19.2.2 Alarm messages processing

When an alarm condition occurs, the equipment generates a number of alarm messages that
appear on the SCT windows ie: log history area and equipment view current alarm.
Investigation on the alarm message meaning permits to troubleshoot the faulty module.

Alarm message organisation

The alarms (traps) are organized as alarm grouping relevant to a specific functions performed
by the equipment.
The alarm grouping is available only in the view current alarm submenu.
What follows is the list of the alarm grouping:
• COMMON – alarms which are not related to a specific part of the equipment but
relevant to the link as EOC radio link alarm or link telemetry fail. If these alarms are ON
the link is lost. Investigation must be made on a possible bad propagation or equipment
failure. See the condition of the others alarm grouping.
• LIM – This grouping may generate alarms for the following causes:
– external fault: tributary loss signal
– LIM failure: i.e. multiplexer/demultiplexer failure or modulator/demodulator failure.
• RIM – This grouping may generate alarms for the following causes:
– external fault: demodulator fail alarm and local ODU alarm are generated when
the ODU becomes faulty.
– RIM failure – power supply alarm along with cable short/open alarms or
modulator/demodulator alarms are activated.

1. TITOLO DEL CAPITOLOCM.89012.I

CM.89012.I

• RT – This grouping may generate alarms for the following causes:


– external fault: Rx power low alarm is generated given by a bad propagation or by
a faulty remote terminal.
– ODU failure: PSU fail alarm or RF VCO alarm or RT IF alarm is activated. If this
happens, replace the ODU.
• UNIT – This grouping generates alarms when one of the units, the equipment consists
of, is faulty or does not respond to the controller polling. Replace the faulty unit.
• CONTROLLER – There is not an alarm message relevant to a controller module
failure. An alarm condition causes Led IDU to steady lights up.
