Functional overview

The FRHF supports 3GGP band 7 at 2600 MHz highest 50 MHz part with 6 x 40 W output Flexi RF Module.
Basic LTE Configurations:
1, 1+1 or 1+1+1 LTE cells @ max 20 MHz LTE bandwidth and 2TX MIMO / 2RX
8, 20 or 40 W 1TX mode per sector (by branch activation SW licenses)
8+8, 20+20 or 40+40 W 2TX mode per sector (by branch activation and MIMO SW licenses)
1, 2 or 3 sectors max 40 + 40 W 2TX MIMO/2RX
HW prepared for 1 sector 4x40 W 4TX MIMO/4RX
FRHF can be used in Feederless site (optical and DC cable up to 200 m).

RF Module power requirements and output power
DC cable requirements for 60 W RF Modules
48 VDC power can be fed to the RF Module directly from the System Module or from an external power source.
In both cases, the internal power cable with boot included in the RF Module delivery must be connected to the
RF Module to provide IP65 protection.
If the cable path between the System module and RF Module is less than 2 m then the internal power
cable included in the RF Module delivery is connected directly to the System module and RF Module.
The optional 4 m (13.1 ft) power cable FPTA 472246A can also be used between the System Module
and RF Module.
If the cable path between the System Module and RF Module exceeds 4 m (13.1 ft), then a pair of
FSEC/FSESs (Flexi System External OVP) must be installed between the System module and RF
Module. For details, see Creating Flexi Multiradio BTS Site Configurations in respective system
documentation.
For all RF Modules with or only modules with the 3-terminal DC connector if 48 VDC power is supplied
to the RF module from an external power source, then an FSEC/FSES must be installed between the
external power source and the RF module. The internal power cable included in the RF module
delivery must be connected from the RF module to the FSEC/FSES.
Requirements if power is supplied from an external source
The following requirements apply if power is fed from an external power source:
The allowed diameter of shielded or jacketed cables is 6-25 mm (0.24-1 in.).
The allowed cross section of individual DC wires is 6-25 mm
2
(10-4 AWG) at the DC terminal. It is
recommended that 25 mm
2
(4 AWG) wires are capped to avoid loose strands. If thicker DC wires are
required, then an FSEC/FSES or other IP65 DC distribution box is required to reduce the cable
thickness at the module.
Recommended DC cable lengths, thicknesses, and type are provided in the section Feederless site
and Distributed site solution requirements.
The DC connector has three screw terminals. The outer terminals are for (+) and (-) wires. The middle
terminal is for grounding the shielded DC cable braid.
RF Module input voltage range

NOTICE: This material is based on preliminary information which is available prior to general availability
and is subject to change for later release.
Table 11. RF Module input voltage range
Property Value
Nominal supply voltage -48.0 V DC
Nominal input voltage range -40.5 V DC to -57.0 V DC
Extended input voltage range -36.0 V DC to -40.5 V DC
-57.0 V DC to -60.0 V DC
for FRGP, FRHA voltage range is 38 to 60 V DC

The minimum startup voltage is 40.5 V DC.
If the input voltage is below/beyond extended limits, unit may shut down.

RF Module output power
Basic typical conditions:
ambient temperature 23C
no ALD power feeding included
no RET power feeding included
Non committed estimated values pending of final product HW and SW optimization with +/- 10 % margin.
Consumption of SW defined radios might be lower for dedicated WCDMA/LTE operation (MCPA not shared for
GSM) than stated in the tables.
