UMTS Antenna Configuration

Scenario
Proprietary and Confidential Slide 2
Scenario 1: GSM Untouched
Existing Configuration:
3 dual pol antennas (72 inches); antenna count can be increased
2 lines per antenna; additional lines can be installed
2 TMAs
No RET

Proposed Configuration:
Add one new AWS antenna (dual pol) with RET for UMTS (4
th
antenna)
Add two new feeder cables for UMTS and RET cable
Add new AWS twin TMA

Proprietary and Confidential Slide 3
Scenario 1: GSM Untouched (continued)
Pros:
No impact on GSM as the system will be untouched (except for some possible
minor movement of one antenna depending on existing arrangement)
Easier implementation
Azimuth and tilt can be independently adjusted for both GSM and UMTS

Cons:
Additional rent cost for the extra TMA and antenna for UMTS
Additional active elements means more points of failure

Scenario 2: RET For All
Existing Configuration:
3 dual pol antennas (72 inches); antenna count can be increased
2 lines per antenna; additional lines can be installed
2 TMAs
No RET

Proposed Configuration (1):
Add one new AWS antenna (dual pol) with RET for UMTS (4
th
antenna)
Replaced old PCS antennas with new antennas with RET capability
Add two new feeder cables for UMTS and RET cables
Replace existing TMAs with twin AWS/PCS TMAs


Proprietary and Confidential Slide 7
Scenario 2: RET For All (continued)
Pros:
GSM gets newer antennas and RET capability
GSM gets new TMAs
Azimuth and tilt can be independently adjusted for both GSM and UMTS

Cons:
Cost for replacing GSM antennas and TMAs
Additional rent cost for the extra TMA and antenna for UMTS

Scenario 3: I Love Quads
Existing Configuration:
3 dual pol antennas (72 inches); antenna count cannot be increased
2 lines per antenna; additional lines can be installed
2 TMAs
No RET

Proposed Configuration:
Replace all antennas with quad pol AWS with RET capability
Replace existing TMAs with new AWS/PCS twin TMAs
Add two new feeder cables for UMTS and RET cables
Proprietary and Confidential Slide 11
Scenario 3: I Love Quads (continued)
Pros:
Same antenna count (a plus for zoning, leasing and structural aspects)
RET is separate between GSM and UMTS sharing the same quad pol antenna
(independent tilt adjusted for GSM and UMTS)

Cons:
Azimuth cannot be independently adjusted for the antenna where GSM and
UMTS is located

Scenario 4: No Room To Grow
Existing Configuration:
2 quad pol antennas (72 inches); antenna count cannot be increased
4 lines per antenna (no additional lines can be added)
2 TMAs
No RET

Proposed Configuration:
Replace all existing antennas with quad pol AWS with RET capability
Replace existing TMAs with new AWS/PCS twin TMAs
Combine GSM TRXs to free up 2 feeder cables for UMTS (ensure even
combining of GSM TRXs)


Note: This scenario is applicable also for existing configuration using dual pol antennas and no new lines can be
added


Proprietary and Confidential Slide 15
Scenario 4: No Room To Grow (continued)
Pros:
UMTS can be deployed on the site
New antennas for GSM
New TMAs for GSM
Independent tilt and azimuth adjustment for both GSM and UMTS

Cons:
Additional loss in GSM (due to combining)
Increased cost to offset additional loss due to combining if MCPAs are used
Loss of space diversity in GSM

Scenario 5: Two Few Lines
Existing Configuration:

2 lines per antenna (no additional lines can be added)
2 TMAs
No RET

Proposed Configuration:
Replace all existing antennas with dual pol AWS with RET capability
Replace existing TMAs with new Diplexer/TMA unit
Diplex GSM and UMTS to fit into 2 lines
Proprietary and Confidential Slide 19
Scenario 5: Two Few Lines (continued)
Pros:
UMTS can be deployed on the site
New antenna for GSM
New TMA for GSM
Diplexing option is cheaper than MCPA

Cons:
Additional loss in GSM and UMTS (due to diplexing but lower than combining)
Possible intermodulation product at certain frequency pairs
Azimuth and tilt cannot be independently adjusted for both GSM and UMTS
