Item Description
9 The Nokia MHA is used to compensate cable losses between the BTS
and the antenna and, thus, prevent the imbalance between the
downlink and the uplink.
10 An extra jumper cable needs to be added. The jumper cable is a ½”
jumper with 7/16 male/male connectors.
11 The BiasTee, with or without VSWR monitoring, supplies the MHA
with a DC voltage from the BTS.

3 Features
The Antenna System for Nokia UltraSite has many features that contribute to its
flexibility and usage. The following sections describe the many qualities
relating to the Antenna System for Nokia UltraSite.
All the features described provide a customer with a cost-effective network,
optimum cellular coverage and aesthetic qualities.
The use of standard building blocks and kits facilitates expansion and upgrading
of existing BTS sites. Also the design of the Antenna System for Nokia
UltraSite took into account the easy expandability and upgrading for future
requirements, which modularity allows.
3.5 Co-siting
Existing antennas and antenna lines can be utilized to some extent when a
Nokia UltraSite is built in an existing site. This minimizes investment costs and
makes the installation much easier and faster.
The antenna system can be shared either fully or partially based on the intended
configuration and existing antenna scheme. Sharing the existing antennas and
feeders depends on how they are utilized by the existing system. Utilizing
existing facilities makes the network expansion feasible and cost effective.
If antenna line losses are the main concern, the best solution is to install new
antennas and antenna lines. In this case, there are no added losses (combiners;
diplexers) to the antenna line.
Dual band antennas for GSM 900 / WCDMA and for GSM 1800 / WCDMA
and triple band antennas for GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / WCDMA makes antenna
sharing possible. Antenna line sharing can be implemented by installing Nokia
diplexers or triplexers at the top and bottom of the antenna feeder.
Dual band cross-polarized antennas are used in dual band BTSs instead of
separate antennas. Only one physical antenna is required per cell although it has
two separate cross-polarized arrays for both bands having their own connectors.
This gives logistical and reliability advantages.
The advantages of dual band antennas are reduced visual impact, minimised site
rental costs, easy site installation and easier and faster site acquisition.
GSM dual band antennas are also available with integrated diplexers. Use of
diplexers reduces the number of feeder cables because both bands can use the
same feeder.
The use of dual band antennas at the onset of constructing a single band site
ensures easy upgrading at a later date.

5 Management
Monitoring of the Nokia UltraSite Antenna System is effected by a VSWR
measurement feature implemented in a BiasTee (optional), and an alarm cable.
The status of each MHA unit is monitored by measuring its current
consumption continuously by the corresponding BTS unit. The alarm states are
relayed from the BTS to the NMS. Additionally, these alarm states can be
checked locally at the BTS using a laptop computer.
6.1 Antennas
Macro-cell antennas:
• for GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 and WCDMA
• vertical polarized panels
• cross-polarized panels
• GSM 900 / GSM1800 dual band, cross-polarized panels with and without
diplexers
• GSM 900 / WCDMA, GSM 1800/1900 / WCDMA dual band, cross-
polarized panels without diplexers
• GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / WCDMA triple band cross-polarized antennas
• omni-directional antennas
Panel antennas are available with different gains and beam widths. Most
models are equipped with an electrical tilting option.
6.3 Feeders
The RF-feeder is a corrugated coaxial cable. It can be of different sizes, i.e. ½",
7/8" and 1 5/8", depending on the length of the mast and the desired attenuation.
The RF-feeder is made of high-quality copper conductors. The feeders are
abrasion resistant and the sheath is made of high-density polyethylene.
The cable clamps are made of stainless steel and plastic and are easy and quick
to install. The design of the clamps prevents over tightening of a feeder cable.
6.5 Options
Diplexers are used in dual band solutions. External diplexer units are required if
the antenna or BTS does not include an integrated diplexer. There are different
diplexers for GSM 900/1800 and GSM 1800/WCDMA applications.
Triplexers are used in GSM 900, GSM 1800 and WCDMA tri-band
applications. Nokia triplexers have a DC pass function that allows the use of an
MHA in one branch. (If more MHAs are required they have to be equipped with
direct DC feed.) Wide band DC blocks are used to prevent DC voltage from
going to the other branches and base station connections.
