WCDMA Bias-T description

The Bias-T used in the Nokia Siemens Networks WCDMA Antenna Systems is an integral
component of the WCDMA Masthead Amplifier (MHA). There are two versions of Bias-T
available: Bias-T with VSWR (voltage standing-wave ratio) and non-VSWR Bias-T.
Bias-T has two primary functions. It provides:
Power to the Masthead Amplifier by injecting DC power into the RF feeder centre conductor, so
separate DC cabling is not needed
Fault monitoring of the antenna line VSWR (voltage standing-wave ratio) and Masthead
Amplifier, forwarding alarm signals to the base station antenna filter unit (WAF)
The Bias-T transfers DC power via the antenna coaxial cable to the MHA connected to the
antenna line. The Bias-T combines DC and RF energy onto the same coaxial cable and provides
RF isolation toward the DC voltage supply and DC isolation towards the BTS. The BTS TX power
is fed through the Bias-T.
The VSWR alarm function indicates that the antenna, MHA, feeders or jumpers have developed
problems which impair their functioning. The Bias-T with VSWR can be installed to a WCDMA
Antenna System without an MHA as a stand-alone unit to provide lightning protection and VSWR
monitoring.
RA45359EN07GLA0
11
The Bias-T has lightning suppression built into the unit, as shown in the block diagram
This Bias-T provides lightning protection for the BTS also
There are no user- or operator-serviceable components inside the Bias-T
RA45359EN07GLA0
12
Choosing the Antenna Tune VSWR Threshold menu item opens the Tune VSWR Threshold
dialog box, where you can tune VSWR alarm threshold values for antenna filters inside RF
modules.
The VSWR treshold tuning is used for defining values when an alarm notification needs to be
sent for a minor problem of an antenna line condition (decreased condition) and for a major
problem condition (cell blocking).
The VSWR threshold tuning can be also used (indirectly) to find out the actual VSWR value by
changing the values and monitoring alarms.
RA45359EN07GLA0
13
Check the antenna for which tuning of VSWR is required.

Specify Minor and Major Ranges. (VSWR Values from 1.5 to 3.5)
Start Tuning.
The Alarms column shows the states of VSWR alarms for each filter.
When the tuning mode is activated by clicking the Start Tuning button, sending alarms to the
NetAct from the selected antenna lines is blocked. Alarms will not be sent until the tuning is
stopped by clicking the Stop and Save or Stop without Saving button.

WCDMA Dual MHA monitoring and alarms

If the MHA unit fails, a bypass mode ensures that the antenna line sector continues operating
Alarms are sent to the BTS via the DC feeders so if the power to the MHA is switched off the
alarms are switched off
If MHA power is lost, the MHA no longer amplifies the Rx signal, but the by-pass operation is still
able to pass through the Rx path (with minor loss).
The MHA has an operational current 'window' and providing the current consumed is within this
window and within the specified DC voltage range, the MHA operates correctly
When the monitored MHA current consumption is outside this window, an MHA alarm is
activated
The BTS operating software confirms the alarms and performs a recovery action applicable to
the version of BTS operating software being used
To identify the specific software recovery action, please refer to the BTS Software User
Manual for information
An MHA alarm alerts if the MHA Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is defective or outside the
operational limits
Note
If open or high impedance exists along the antenna line supplying the MHA DC supply, this
indicates a VSWR alarm condition
If an MHA alarm is activated, the cause of the alarm must be identified
Once the cause is clearly identified, the appropriate corrective actions can be performed to
correct the fault

WMHD MicroMHA comprises two identical amplifiers in one compact integrated package which
is easy to transport and install
A state of the art Low Noise amplifier design provides a nominal 12 dB of gain, compensating
feeder loss and improving coverage
In the unlikely event of component or power failure, a bypass path allows the BTS to continue
operation
Power is fed via the feeder cable, in Flexi BTS no BiasTs are needed, WMHD gets its power
and control directly from BTS
With Ultrasite WCDMA BTS, the BiasT is needed
WMHD has also RET connector for remote antenna tilt adjustor, RTA

The TMA is always installed outside the Node B rack/shelter and close to the antenna, thus
achieving fixed sensitivity independently of the feeder cable length.
RA45359EN07GLA0
23
RA45359EN07GLA0
24
The RET (Remote Electrical Tilt) module is located directly under the antenna and contains a
stepper motor which adjusts a phase shift within the antenna
This module is accessed from a RET capable TMA module (TMARET/DTMARET/SDTMA) via
the RS485 interface
RET specific commands enter the Node B at the Core Controller, are routed through a RET
capable DUAMCO (variant DUAMCORET) and are transmitted to the RET module via the RET
capable TMA module
The signals are sent over the HDLC protocol
In the opposite direction the RET module sends information and alarms
RET signaling and DC power from the DUAMCO to the TMA and vice versa is transported
through the antenna feeder cable; a triplexer is integrated in the TMA to provide these functions
A special cable is needed between the TMA and the RET module for the RETs DC voltage and
the RS485 interface
The TMA and its variants are powered by the related DUAMCOs (e.g. TMA/DTMA by
DUAMCORT and TMARET/DTMARET by DUAMCORET).
RA45359EN07GLA0
25
The TMA module consists of

one duplexer subsystem
a triplexer
a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a fail-safe path and a bias & signaling board
The transmit path consists of the TX part of the duplex filters
The receive path consists of the RX part of the duplex filters and contains the LNA
The triplexer combines the TX and the RX path with the TMA signaling path (e.g. alarms).
Therefore only one feeder cable is required between the TMA and the Node B
The TMA is supplied with +12 V DC through the feeder cable from the Node B
The LNA within the TMA has two parallel gain elements:
If a single failure occurs, operation continues with reduced gain
If both gain elements fail, or the supply of the TMA fails, the LNA is bypassed by a fail-safe
switch.
The DTMA module consists of
two RF ports
a duplexer subsystem
a triplexer
an LNA with a fail-safe path and a bias & signaling board
For each sub-module, signaling and DC power supply are provided through the associated
feeder cables from the Node B

The DTMAF / DTMARETF shall be grounded to the pole, therefore a protective earthing
conductor has to be prepared for each device on site.
The mounting plate provides a ground screw with a locking washer attached to it and a threaded
hole for connection of the protective earthing conductor (see bottom view of the devices). The
protective earthing conductor cable lug must have the right size for the M8 ground screw. The
cross section of the protective earthing conductor must be not less than 16 mm2 (AWG 6).
The other end of the protective earthing conductor should be safely connected to a well grounded
point on the pole. The DTMAF / DTMARETF shall be grounded to the pole, therefore a protective
earthing conductor has to be prepared for each device on site.

Care must be taken that the draining pipe (see bottom view of the devices) is pointed
downwards. The draining outlet is factory mounted. If it, for any reason, would be loosened, it
should be tightened again with a sufficient torque wrench, however not exceeding 2.2 Nm (1.6 ft
lb).
The draining pipe must never be obstructed or covered with paint which would impede the
venting and draining of the housing.
RA45359EN07GLA0
31
If a DTMARETFV4 shall be installed, pay attention to the following special notice of the
manufacturer.
The RET male connector must be firmly tightened by means of bare hands only. No tool (e.g.
pliers) can be used.
Failure to follow this instruction can cause damage to the RET connector assembly and further, it
can cause water intrusion into the unit.
If the RET cable is not connected, the cap provided with the unit must be firmly screwed on the
RET female connector on the TMA.
RA45359EN07GLA0
32
The hose clips surrounds the pole and are fitted into the corresponding openings of the mounting
plate (see rear view of the devices). This is the situation just before tightening the hose clips.
For the mounting, the following steps can be generally recommended. First connect the DTMAF /
DTMARETF to the antenna feeder cable. Take into consideration that the antenna feeder often is
very stiff and rather heavy. The position of its coaxial connectors therefore often determines the
position of the DTMAF / DTMARETF on the pole.
1. Place the DTMAF / DTMARETF in its final mounting position at the pole.
2. Secure the unit with a tensioning belt.
3. Open the hose clips by pressing the button at the end of the clip lock and then smoothly pull
out the perforated metal band.
4. Move the metal band of the hose clip gently into the openings of the mounting plate.
5. Close the hose clip loosely around the pole.
6. Tighten the hose clip screws carefully, but do not over-tighten.
7. Remove the tensioning belt.
8. Connect the DTMAF / DTMARETF first to the antenna feeder cable (NodeB) and then to the
antenna jumper cable (ANT). The torque must be 25 Nm (18.5 ft lb).
9. Connect the protective earthing conductor with the DTMAF / DTMARETF ground screw.
Tighten the connection to a torque of 5 Nm (3.7 ft lb).
10. The use of self-vulcanizing tape as an environmental protection of the connectors is
recommended.
Pay attention to the thermal dimensional changes of the antenna feeder cables. If the antenna is
equipped with a RET module, install the DC power / data cable between the module and the 8
pole circular connector of the DTMARETF. The required cable will be delivered with the RET
module together.

WRGT wideband combiner unit

The WRGT wideband combiner (WBC) is a special unit needed for additional TX combining in
2G BTS when common antenna line is shared with a 3G BTS using a multiradio combiner
(MRC). WRGT is used for 800/900 MHz operational frequency bands and with FADB multiradio
combiners.
The WRGT unit is only needed when MRC is used and Flexi WCDMA BTS modules are placed
inside the UltraSite EDGE cabinet using the vertical or horizontal installation kit (FMUA/FMUB),
to perform the additional combining of GSM TX signals.
The WRGT is placed to the baseband unit rack of the BTS. FMUA/FMUB is only supported by
newer versions of IDC_/ODCA cabinets (from v.101 for FMUA and v.202 for FMUB). The WRGT
unit contains the additional interconnecting cables needed
