The bandwidth limit mentioned in this chapter is directed at dual-mode RRU, and there
is no such limit on single-mode RRU. Specific principles are as follows:
For UMTS broadband signal, the only condition for achieving good performance is that
the feedback bandwidth is 3~5 times of signal bandwidth; while for GSM narrowband
signal, the feedback bandwidth is required to be 9 times of signal bandwidth to reach
good inter-modulation distortion(IMD) performance. If the downlink working
bandwidth of RRU/RU is 20MHz, then the feedback ADC bandwidth is required to be
180MHz. However, the feedback bandwidth of current feedback signal ADC is only
90M. Therefore, under GSM mode, downlink working bandwidth is 10MHz, that is the
GSM TRXs of the same RRU/RU are distributed within the bandwidth of 10MHz. The
actual working bandwidth is closely related to the PAR of multi-carrier signals, for the
multi-carrier signal that different PAR represents makes PA operate in different linear
zone. Because the PAR of TRXs of different numbers is different, the actual operating
bandwidth is different. See Table 2 -1:

However, in actual planning the operating bandwidth is not divided according to the
number of TRXs configured. For GSM system, the unanimous bandwidth limits are
shown in the following table:

2, 60W mode: GSM single-mode is 10M,
and the frequency points used must be within
5M (left & right) from the central frequency
point
3, 80W mode: G single-mode is 15M, and
the frequency points used must be within 7.5M
(left & right) from the central frequency point
2)
If mode 1*1 or 1*3 is used in RF hopping, the BCCH frequency point of each cell
plus hopping sequence should not exceed 10M. If the frequency range of single
cell has to exceed 10M, long hopping sequence should be segmented into short
hopping sequences; in the mean time, TRXs should be configured to different
RRU; if the cell is configured with only one RRU, it will lead to waste of RRU.
Therefore, its suggested that mode 1*3 or N*1 (N*3) be adopted for large site
[N*1 (N*3) is the variant of 1*1 or 1*3]; divide TCH frequency band into N
segments according to site configuration, and make multiplexing based on the site
groups.
Please refer to appendix A for details.
3)
For common frequency multiplexing and baseband hopping, the frequency band
of single site is allowed to exceed 10M. If the number of TRXs in the cell is under
6, the number of RRU needs to be increased, which could be a waste of RRU.
There is a concept of central frequency point relating to the limit of 10M bandwidth.
For cells with SDR equipment of the current versions, a central frequency point must
be configured, and the frequency points used by the cell must be within 5M (left &
right) from the central frequency point.
