1 INTRODUCTION

The Cobham Wireless OMU is a scalable, RF to optic signal conversion unit. The unit is installed near

the Base Station and is used in combination with fibre fed repeaters to provide wireless coverage for

remote sites located at a distance of up to 20 km (12.42 miles) from the Base Station.

The OMU taps the signal directly off a base station via a coupler and performs the RF to optic

conversion of the base station signal for transmission to the fibre connected repeaters. (In the

uplink, the procedure is reversed).

The OMU can either be installed at the BS or connected directly to a repeater. In that case the signal

is tapped from the repeater’s service antenna.

An OMU can be equipped to be used for frequency ranges from 88 MHz to 2170 MHz.

A single OMU unit supports up to 6 fibre optic converters, where each converter provides the signal

conversion for one Repeater. The system can be expanded to support up to 24 Repeaters.

The figure below illustrates an OMU system with six F/O converters and two power supplies.

1.3 OMU Installation Configurations

The OMU can be installed in several configurations:

•Basic configuration of a single OMU installed at the BTS

•Expanding the system by either:

•Linking several OMUs (up to four)

•Using laser systems with three or four colours.

1.3.1 Single OMU Topology

The following figure illustrates the connections for a single OMU installed at the BTS. The OMU

supports up to six Repeaters, where each repeater is connected via optic fibre to an RF/Optic

converter module on the OMU. Each OMU supports up to six RF/Optic converters – for connections to

up to six Repeaters.

In the downlink the radio signal is tapped from a BTS using a coupler installed in series with the

BTS’s antenna cable. The Fibre Optic Converter in the OMU converts the RF signal to an optical signal

and sends it to the repeater over a fibre.

In the uplink the Fibre Optic Converter receives the optical RF signal from the repeater, converts it to

electrical RF signal and sends it to the BTS. The signal is transferred to the antenna cable using a

coupler.

1.3.2 Cascading OMUs

Up to four OMUs can be cascaded and operate up to 24 repeaters as one system: one Master OMU

and three Slave OMUs.

This type of topology requires only one Control module and one modem (at the Master OMU). All

OMUs and hosted Repeaters are managed as a single system via the Master OMU.

Figure

1-3. Four OMUs cascaded in one system

1.3.3 Expansion using Multi-color Laser System

The number of Repeaters supported by each OMU can be expanded using multi-coloured laser

systems.

A laser system with two colours can operate one repeater for each fibre optic converter in an OMU-

Repeater system – one color is used for the uplink and one for the downlink. A laser system with

three or more colours can operate two or more repeaters per fibre optic converter. One color is used

for the downlink which is the same for all repeaters, and in the uplink each repeater has its own

color.

The connection from one repeater to the next is done via so called add-drop couplers.

The difference in distance between the repeaters and the OMU can be compensated for

automatically.

Two repeaters are connected to the same converter in the OMU via the same fibre but the

wavelength for the uplink differs between the units. Slave 1: 1550 ± 3 nm, Slave 2: 1510 ± 3 nm.

The downlink signal is the same for both repeaters.
