(5, 6, 7, and 8) are not defined, and they are reserved for future use.
You can set the monitoring address by setting the four least significant bits of the DIP switch.
The first bit corresponds to BIT0, and the fourth bit corresponds to BIT3.
NOTE
l When the BBU3900 is installed in the APM30, the monitoring address of the PMU must be set to 3,
that is, the four least significant bits of the DIP switch must be set to 1100.
l When the BBU3806 is installed in the APM30, the monitoring address of the PMU must be set to 9,
that is, the four least significant bits of the DIP switch must be set to 1001.
l Value 1 indicates that the bit of the DIP switch is set to ON, and value 0 indicates that the bit of the
DIP switch is set to OFF.

the panels are shown in Figure 5-28 and Figure 5-29.

BTS3900A GSM
Figure 5-28 Panel of the DRFU of 900 MHz

BTS3900A GSM
Figure 5-29 Panel of the DRFU of 1800 MHz
NOTE
The DRFU of 1800 MHz is supported by V300R009 and later versions.
Functions
The DRFU performs modulation, demodulation, data processing, and combining and dividing
for baseband signals and RF signals.
Both the DRFU of 900 MHz and DRFU of 1800 MHz perform the following functions:
l The DRFU adopts the direct frequency conversion technology, modulates the baseband
signals to the GSM TX band. After filtering and amplification, the baseband signals are
transmitted to the antenna system through the duplex filter.
l The DRFU receives uplink RF signals from the antenna system and then down-converts
the received signals to IF signals. After amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, digital
down-conversion, matched filtering, automatic gain control (AGC), the IF signals are sent
to the BBU for further processing.
l Performs power control.

BTS3900A GSM
l Performs reverse power detection.

l Synthesizes frequencies and tests loops.
l Generates the CPRI clock, recovers the CPRI clock from loss of synchronization, and
detects alarms.
In addition, the DRFU of 900 MHz can be equipped with the Frequency Domain Reflectometer
(FDR) to implement the accurate VSWR test.
The modules inside the DRFU consist of the high-speed interface unit, signal processing unit,
power amplifier, and dual-duplexer unit. Figure 5-30 shows the logical structure of the DRFU.
Figure 5-30 Logical structure of the DRFU
The high-speed interface unit performs the following functions:

l Adapts the signals from the BBU to the signal processing unit.
l Adapts the signals from the signal processing unit to the BBU.
The signal processing unit consists of two uplink RX channels and two downlink TX channels.
l The uplink RX channels perform the following functions:
– Down-converts the received RF signals to Intermediate Frequency (IF) signals.
– Amplifies the IF signals and performs IQ modulation.
– Performs analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion through the ADC.
– Performs digital sampling.
– Performs matched filtering.
– Performs Digital Automatic Gain Control (DAGC).
– Encapsulates the data.
l The downlink TX channels perform the following functions:
– Processes the signals (timing signals, control signals, and data signals) from the BBU
and sends them to the associated units.
– Shapes and filters downlink signals.
– Performs digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion through the DAC and performs IQ
modulation.

BTS3900A GSM
– Up-converts RF signals to the TX band.
The PA amplifies the low-power RF signals that are received from the signal processing unit.
The dual-duplexer unit performs the following functions:

l Multiplexes the RX and TX signals of the RF channels.
l Enables the TX and RX signals to share the same antenna channel.
l Filters the RX and TX signals.

The GSM Radio Frequency Unit (GRFU) is designed on the basis of multi-transceiver
technology. One GRFU supports 6 carriers outputs.
Panel
Figure 5-31 shows the GRFU panel.
Figure 5-31 GRFU panel

BTS3900A GSM
Functions
The GRFU performs modulation and demodulation between baseband signals and RF signals,
processes data, and combines and divides signals.
The GRFU has the following functions:
l Implements the direct frequency conversion technique in the transmit channel, modulates
the baseband signals to GSM RF signals; then, sends the signals to the antenna for
transmission through the duplex filter after filtering, amplifying, and combining the RF
signals (the combining can be performed as required)
l Receives RF signals from the antenna and performs down-conversion, amplification,
analog-to-digital conversion, digital down-conversion, matched filtering, and Automatic
Gain Control (AGC), and then transmits the signals to the BBU for further processing
l Provides power control and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) detection
l Provides reverse power detection
l Provides frequency synthesis and loopback test
l Generates the CPRI clock, recovers the CPRI clock of lost synchronization, and detects
alarms
The GRFU consists of the high-speed interface unit, signal processing unit, power amplifier,
and duplexer. Figure 5-32shows the logical structure of the GRFU.
Figure 5-32 Logical structure of the GRFU
The High-speed interface unit has the following functions:

l Transmits the signals received from the BBU to the signal processing unit
l Transmits the signals received from the signal processing unit to the BBU
The signal processing unit consists of two UL RX channels and one DL TX channel.
l The UL RX channel has the following functions:
– Performs down-conversion of the RF signals to IF signals
– Amplifies the IF signals and performs IQ demodulation
– Performs analog-to-digital conversion through the ADC

BTS3900A GSM
– Samples digital signals

– Performs matched filtering
– Performs Digital Automatic Gain Control (DAGC)
– Encapsulates data
l The DL TX channel has the following functions:
– Processes the clock signals, control signals, and data signals from the BBU and sends
them to associated units
– Shapes and filters DL signals
– Performs digital-to-analog conversion through the DAC and performs IQ modulation
– Performs up-conversion of RF signals to the transmit band
The power amplifier amplifies the low-power RF signals from the signal processing unit.
The duplexer has the following functions:

l Multiplexes the RX signals and TX signals
l Enables RX signals and TX signals to share one antenna channel
l Filters RX signals and TX signals
