2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
2.1 RX-7137 FUNTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
OMT Computer with Data card
Figure 2: Functional Diagram
In the downlink, the BTS signals are received by donor antenna of the equipment. After the duplexer, the
signals are sent to the LNA module for pre-amplification, followed by band selection using the Frequency
Selection (FS) modules. The power amplifiers (PA) can amplify all carriers within the passband to the
maximum output power permitted. The duplexer permits combining with the uplink signals to share a
single service antenna.
In the uplink, the mobile signals are received by the service antenna. After the duplexer, the signals are
sent to the LNA, FS and PA modules before duplexing with the downlink signals. The uplink signals are
sent to the donor antenna for transmission back to the BTS.
