2 FIRST AID FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND

SAFETY RULES
2.1 FIRST AID FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Do not touch the patient with bare hands until the circuit has been opened. Open the circuit by switching off the line switches. If that is not possible protect yourself with dry material and free the patient from the conductor.
2.1.1 Artificial Respiration

It is important to start mouth resuscitation at once and to call a doctor immediately. suggested procedure for mouth to mouth resuscitation method is described in the Tab. 2.1.
2.1.2 Treatment of Burns

This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed while artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two persons present). Warning Do not attempt to remove clothing from burnt sections Apply dry gauze on the burns Do not apply ointments or other oily substances.

Tab. 2.1 Step

1
Description
Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body. If the patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients mouth and check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (dentures, chewing gum, etc.). Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand under the patient"s head and one under his neck. Lift the patient "s head and let it recline backwards as far as possible.
Figure
Shift the hand from the patient "s neck to his chin and his mouth, the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers closed together. While performing these operations take a good supply of oxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open.
With your thumb between the patient"s chin and mouth keep his lips together and blow into his nasal cavities
While performing these operations observe if the patient "s chest rises. If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that case open the patient"s mouth as much as possible by pressing on his chin with your hand, place your lips around his mouth and blow into his oral cavity. Observe if the patient "s chest heaves. This second method can be used instead of the first even when the patient"s nose is not obstructed, provided his nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together using the hand you were holding his head with. The patient "s head must be kept sloping backwards as much as possible. Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of twelve/fifteen expirations per minute. Go on like this until the patient has regained conscious-ness, or until a doctor has ascertained his death.

Chapter 5 SYSTEM PRESENTATION
5 SYSTEM PRESENTATION
5.1 RADIO SYSTEM OVERVIEW
5.1.1 General
ZXMW PR10 (V3.2) Digital Microwave System is ZTE "s new PDH radio series for low-to-medium transmission capacities in frequency bands from 7 to 38 GHz. Different hardware versions offer a range of transmission capacities from 2xE1 to 16xE1, on QPSK and 16QAM modulation. Reduced cost, high reliability, compact size, light weight and full programmability are the key features of this radio series.
5.2 COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

The equipment complies with the following international standards: EN 301 489-4 for EMC ITU-R recommendations for all frequency bands EN 300 132-2 characteristics for power supply EN 300 019 environmental characteristics (Operation class 3.2 for IDU and class 4.1 for ODU; storage: class 1.2; transport: class 2.3) EN 60950 for safety
5.3 APPLICATIONS
ZXMW PR10 main applications are: Radio communication between GSM/CDMA cells Radio links for voice and data transmission Spur routes for high capacity radio system Emergency links
5.4 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The ZXMW PR10 radio series consists of two separate units: The indoor unit (IDU) that houses tributary interfaces, modem and controller units The outdoor unit (ODU) that converts IF signals into RF signals and vice versa.
The two units are interconnected via coaxial cable. Fig. 5.1 and Fig. 5.2 show a typical IDU/ODU layout whereas Fig. 5.3 and Fig. 5.4 show the radio block diagram in 1+0 and 1+1 configuration respectively.
- 10 -
5.4.1 IDU
The IDU is available in the following hardware versions: 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+0 configuration, 2/4/8xE1 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+0 configuration, 2/4/8/16xE1 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+1 configuration, 2/4/8/16xE1 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+1 configuration, 2/4/8/16xE1
IDUs consist of two main units plugged into a 1-U cabinet. Core Unit consisting of an integrated traffic interface module (TIM) for up to 16 E1/DS1 channels, room for an optionally plugged traffic interface module (TIM), room for an optionally plugged service interface module (SIM), a service multiplexer for service individual multiplexing/demultiplexing, a radio inter-working function for adaptation of the signals to the modem format, a radio protection switching function (RPS) to switch between two receive paths; a micro-controller. Modem Unit consisting of a power supply, the digital modulator/demodulator and the conversion to and from an analogue intermediate frequency. In protected terminal configurations two identical Modem Units shall be present in the IDU. Line interfaces house tributary connections and, through a multiplexing/demultiplexing and bit insertion/extraction process, supply/receive the aggregate signal to/from the modulator/demodulator. Line interfaces carry out the digital processing for the QPSK/16QAM modulator and, in 1+1 configuration, duplicate the main signals on the transmission side and perform the changeover on the receive side. Interfaces towards the ODU house the cable interface for bidirectional communication between ODU and IDU, and implement the IF section of the mo-demodulator. IDU power supply units process battery voltage and supply power to IDU and ODU circuits. The controller section of the radio houses service channels interfaces, stores IDU firmware, interfaces ZTE management systems though dedicated supervision ports, and routes external and internal alarms to relay contacts.
5.4.2 ODU
The ODU houses the interface towards the IDU on one side, and towards the antenna flange on the other. The ODU shifts the incoming QPSK/16QAM-modulated carrier to RF frequency through a double conversion. The opposite occurs at the receive side, when the IF-conevrted carrier is sent to the IDU demodulator. In 1+1 versions two electromechanical switches connect the transmitter in service to the antenna, and put in stand-by the other transmitter. Antenna coupling in 1+1 systems is done through a balanced or unbalanced hybrid.
5.5 MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

ZXMW PR10 can be controlled locally and remotely via ZTE supervision software: CIT-WEB: a ZTE" proprietary software utility for monitoring and controlling the operation and configuration of the PR10 radios. Located on the PR10 Controller, any of the two LAN ports allows for connecting a PC running the CIT-WEB server that is embedded in the radio. This web server stores HTML pages and applets that provide a user interface for monitoring and controlling any PR10 Network Element, using the Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 5.5 and later.

INTERFACES
8.1 1+0/1+1 IDU VERSIONS

The following functional description covers the versions the IDU consists of as shown in chapter Equipment technical specifications!. The IDU is made up of a backplane that equipped with plug in units - a core unit (CU) and a modem unit (MU). In protected terminal configurations two identical Modem Units shall be present in the IDU. CU is a motherboard that have room for an optionally plugged traffic unit (TU) up to 16 E1 channels and an optionally plugged service unit (SU) for EOW and EDI interface which realizing the following functionalities: Line interface Equipment controller IDU loops Radio inter-working function for adaptation of the signals to the modem format Radio protection switching function (RPS) to switch between two receive paths Modem Unit consisting of a power supply, the digital modulator/demodulator and the conversion to and from an analogue intermediate frequency which realizing the following functionalities: Radio interface
8.1.1 Line Interface

The line interface performs the following operations: multiplexing process of the input tributaries generation of the aggregate frame by aggregating multiplexed tributaries and service channel. Bit extraction and demultiplexing process happens at the receive side. Different baseband structures and digital processing of the signal to be forwarded to the QPSK or 16QAM modulator/demodulator is produced by a chip set!. Controls to the chip set and status/alarm reporting from the chip set are given/received by main controller that manages the all equipment. Tx side Refer to Fig. 8.1. The 2 Mbit/s input signal is code converted from HDB3 to NRZ format before being multiplexed. The multiplexing scheme depends on the number and the bit rate of the input tributaries. Attached figures show different multiplexing scheme as follows: Fig. 8.2 - 2x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux performs stuffing operation on each single tributary and generates a proprietary frame embedding the two tributaries to be sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side. Fig. 8.3 - 4x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux aggregates the four 2 Mbit/s tributaries generating a 8448 kbit/s frame as per Recc. G.742. The multiplexed signal is then sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
- 27 -
Fig. 8.4 - 8x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The eight 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in two 4x2 Mbit/s groups each of one generating a G742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s to be sent to the next Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side. Fig. 8.5 - 16x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The sixteen 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in four 4x2 Mbit/s groups each of one generating a G.742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s. A further multiplexing of the achieved four 8448 kbit/s streams will generate a frame structure at 34368 kbit/s as per Recc. G.751. This latter is to be sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
The multiplexed tributaries are then sent to the B.I. for aggregate frame generation occurring at the following bit rate depending on various versions implemented:
Tab. 8.1 Version

Aggregate frame
4860 kbit/s 9720 kbit/s 19440 kbit/s 38880 kbit/s
The aggregate frame contains: the main signal from the MUX(s) the framed service signal from the service interface the EOC signals for supervision message propagation towards the remote terminal the frame alignment word the bits dedicated to the FEC.
Rx side Refer to Fig. 8.6. At Rx side the Bit extraction separates the main multiplexed signal from the service signal and then after a proper demultiplexing process (opposite to that previously described at the Tx side) sends them to the output interfaces.
8.1.2 Radio Interface

This functionaly provides the following: QPSK/16QAM modemodulation power supply to IDU and ODU telemetry IDU/ODU cable interface
QPSK/16QAM Modemodulation - Modulation Side See Fig. 8.7. The aggregate signal from the BI undergoes the following process in digital form:
- 28 -
serial to parallel conversion differential encoding generation of the shaped modulating signals feeding the IF part of the QAM modulator.
This latter comprises: recovery low pass filter to eliminate signal periodicity 330 MHz local oscillator a 90 phase shifter to supply two mixers with two in quadrature carriers The thus obtained 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier is then sent to the cable interface for connection with ODU.
QAM Modemodulation - Demodulation Side See Fig. 8.7. The 140 MHz, QPSK or 16QAM modulated carrier from the ODU is reaching the IDU through the cable interface. The connection to the demodulator input is made via a cable equalizer for cable loss compensation. The IF section of the QAM demodulator extracts the I and Q analogue signals then digital converted for the following processing: clock recovery baseband equalisation and filtering bit polarity decision differential decoding parallel to serial convertion to recover the aggregate signal. The aggregate signal is then sent to a frame alignement circuit and CRC analysis and then to the error corrector to achieve the BER extimate, the PM and HBER/LBER alarms. Power Supply Refer to Fig. 8.7. The -48 V battery voltage feeds the IDU and ODU circuitry. The service voltages for the IDU feeding are achieved through a DC/DC converter for +3.3 V generation and a step down circuit for -5V. Both voltages are protected against overvoltages and overcurrents. The power to the ODU is given by the same battery running through the interconnection cable. A breaker protects the battery against cable failure. Telemetry IDU/ODU Refer to Fig. 8.1 and Fig. 8.7. The dialogue IDU/ODU is made-up by the main controller and associated peripherals within the ODU. Controls for ODU management and alarm reporting is performed making use of a 388 kbit/s framed signals. The transport along the interconneting cable is performed via two FSK modulated carriers: 17.5 MHz from IDU to ODU; 5.5 MHZ from ODU to IDU. Cable Interface Refer to Fig. 8.7. This circuit permits to communicate to the far ODU through the interconnecting cable. It is mainly made up of a set of filters that: combine the 330 MHz, QAM modulated carrier/the 17.5 MHz carrier/the power supply separate the 140 MHz QAM modulated carrier and the 5.5 MHz carrier

8.1.3 Equipment Controller

The controller functionality performs the following: houses the equipment software for equipment management interfaces the embedded CIT-WEB program through supervision ports receive external alarms and route them to relay contacts along with the internal alarms generated by the equipment. The equipment software permits to control and manage all the equipment functionality. It is distributed on two hardware levels: main controller and ODU peripheral controller. The dialogue between main and peripheral controllers is shown in Fig. 8.8. Main Controller The activities executed by the main controller are the following: Communication management: it makes use of SNMP as management protocol and IP as communication protocol stacks. See Fig. 8.9 for details. The interface ports for the equipment management are the following: LAN Ethernet 10/100BaseT used for CIT and NMS connection EOC embedded within the PDH radio frame for connection to the remote NEs Log-in: the main controller manages the equipment or network login/logout by setting and then controlling the user"s ID and relevant password. Database (MIB): validation and storing in a non-volatile memory of the equipment configuration parameters. Equipment configuration: distribution of the parameters stored in the MIB towards the peripheral Ps for their attuation in addition to the controls from user not stored in the MIB (i.e. loops, manual forcing etc...). alarm monitoring: acquisition, filtering and correlation of the alarms gathered from slaved Ps. Local logger and alarm sending to the connected managers: CIT-WEB. Management of the alarm signalling on the front panel. Download: the main controller is equipped with two flash memory banks containing the running program (active bank) and the stand-by program (inactive bank). This permits to download a new software release to the inactive bank without distributing the traffic. Bank switch enables the new release to be used. Download activity is based on FTP protocol which downloads application programs, FPGA configuration, configuration files on main controller inactive bank or directly on the peripheral controllers.
Peripheral Controllers The peripheral controllers take place within the ODU and are slaved to main controller with the task of activating controls and alarm reporting of dedicated functionality.
8.2 IDU LOOPS

Chapter 10 DESCRIPTION OF THE OUTDOOR UNIT
10 DESCRIPTION OF THE OUTDOOR UNIT

10.1 GENERAL
The 1+0 ODU (refer to Fig. 10.1) consists of a two-shell aluminum mechanical structure, one shell housing all the ODU circuits, the other forming the covering plate. On the ODU are accessible: the N! type connector for cable interfacing IDU and ODU the BNC! connector for connection to a multimeter with the purpose to measure the received field strength a ground bolt.
The 1+1 hot stand#by version (refer to Fig. 10.2) consist of two 1+0 ODUs mechanically secured to a structure housing the hybrid for the antenna connection.
10.2 TRANSMIT SECTION

Refer to block diagram shown in Fig. 10.3. The 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier from the cable interface (see chapter 10.4) is forwarded to a mixer passing through a cable equalizer for cable loss compensation up to 40 dB at 330 MHz. The mixer and the following bandpass filter give rise to a second IF Tx carrier the frequency of which depends on the go/return frequency value. The mixer is of SHP type. The IF Tx frequency is P controlled. Same happens to Rx IF and RF local oscillators. This latter is common to both Tx and Rx sides. The IF carrier is converted to RF and then amplified making use of a MMIC circuit. The conversion mixer is SSB type with side band selection. The power at the MMIC output can be manually attenuated by 20 dB, 1 dB step. Total attenuation is 40 dB including the 20 dB attenuator that follows. The automatic adjustment is performed making use of an ATPC (see paragraph 10.5 for details). The regulated output power is kept constant against amplifier stage gain variation by a feedback including the AGC. Before reaching the antenna side the RF signal at the output of MMIC passes through the following circuits: a de-coupler plus detector diode to measure the output power a circulator to protect the amplifier stages against possible circuit mismatch. a ON/OFF switch for 1+1 operation a 0 or 20 dB attenuator to made up a total attenuation of 40 dB an RF band-pass filter for antenna coupling.
An RF coupler plus a detector and a shift oscillator made up the RF loop which is enabled upon receiving a P control. The RF loop permits the Tx power to return back to receive side thus controlling the total local radio terminal performance.
- 45 -
10.3 RECEIVE SECTION

The RF signal from the Rx bandpass filter is sent to a low noise amplifier that improves the receiver sensitivity. The following down#converter translates the RF frequency to approximately 765 MHz. The conversion mixer is SSB type. The sideband selection is given through a !P control. A second down converter generates the 140 MHz IF carrier to be sent to the demodulator within the IDU. The level of the IF carrier is kept constant to #5 dBm thank to the IF amplifier stages, AGC controlled, distributed in the IF chain. In addition the AGC gives a measure of the receive RF level. Between two amplifiers a bandpass filter assures the required selectivity to the receiver. The filter is SAW type and the bandwidth depends on the transmitted capacity as follows: 4 MHz (2x2 Mbit/s # QPSK; 4x2 Mbit/s # 16QAM) 12 MHz (8x2/16x2 Mbit/s # 16QAM) 28 MHz (16x2 Mbit/s # QPSK)
10.4 CABLE INTERFACE

The cable interface permits to interface the cable interconnecting IDU to ODU and vice versa. It receives/transmits the following signals: 330 MHz (from IDU to ODU) 140 MHz (from ODU to IDU) 17.5 MHz (from IDU to ODU) 5.5 MHz (from ODU to IDU) remote power supply.
The 17.5 MHz and 5.5 MHz FSK modulated carriers, carry the telemetry channel. This latter consists of two 388 kbit/s streams one from IDU to ODU with the information to manage the ODU (RF power, RF frequency, capacity, etc...) while the other, from ODU to IDU, sends back to IDU measurements and alarms of the ODU. The ODU management is made by a !P.
10.5 ATPC OPERATION

The ATPC regulates the RF output power of the local transmitter depending on the value of the RF level at the remote terminal. This value has to be preset from the local terminal as threshold high and low. The difference between the two thresholds must be equal or higher than 3 dB. As soon as the received level crosses the preset threshold level low (see Fig. 10.6) due to the increase of the hop attenuation, a microP at the received side of the remote terminal sends back to the local terminal a control to increase the transmitted power. The maximum ATPC range is 20 dB. If the hop attenuation decreases and the threshold high is crossed then the control sent by the microP causes the output power to decrease. The 20 dB ATPC range can be reduced from the maximum value to 0 dB, by 1 dB step, consequently to a reduction of the output maximum power through an adjusted attenuation. Total adjustment attenuation is 40 dB formed by a variable attenuation part from 0 to 20 dB, 1 dB step and a fixed attenuation part of 0 dB or 20 dB.
- 46 -
ATPC behaves according the following example: maximum output power is +20 dBm: ATPC range is 20 dB output power reduced from +20 dBm to 0 dBm, 1 dB step using the variable attenuation: ATPC range is reduced from 20 dB to 0 dB consequently reduction of output power from #1 dBm to #20 dBm, 1 dB step, using both fixed and variable attenuation: ATPC range is reduced from 19 dB to 0 dB consequently.
10.6 1+1 Tx SYSTEM

The two ODUs are coupled to the antenna side via a balanced or unbalanced hybrid. 1+1 Tx switching occurs in the 1+1 hot stand#by 1 antenna or 2 antennas versions as shown in Fig. 10.4 and Fig. 10.5. The transmitter switchover is electromechanical type and consists of two ON/OFF switches within the two ODUs that assure at least 40 dB insulation on the stand#by transmitter. Transmit alarm priority is shown in Tab. 10.1.

10.7 POWER SUPPLY

The battery voltage is dropped from the cable interface and then sent to a DC/DC converter to generate three stabilized output voltages to be distributed to the ODU circuitry: +3.5 V a voltage comprised between +6.2 V and +8.2 V to power MMIC amplifiers operating at different frequency bands a #12 V through an inverter circuit.
Each voltage is protected against overcurrent with automatic restart. Protection against overvoltage occurs as soon as the output voltage raises more than 15% respect to the nominal voltage. The restart is automatic.

Chapter 16 LINE-UP OF THE RADIO HOP
16 LINE-UP OF THE RADIO HOP

16.1 LINE-UP OF THE RADIO HOP
The line-up consists of the following steps: on site radio terminal installation (perform user connections and ODU installation as described in the relevant chapters) equipment switch-on (operate the ON/OFF switch on the IDU front) antenna alignment for maximum received RF signal level network element configuration check measurements.
16.1.1 Antenna alignment and received field measurement

Purpose of antenna alignment is to maximize the RF received signal level. Proceed as follows: connect a multimeter to BNC connector on the ODU for AGC measurement adjust antenna pointing as soon as the maximum AGC voltage value is achieved.
The relationship between AGC voltage and received field is shown by Fig. 16.1. The received field level has a tolerance of 4 dB in the full temperature range.
16.1.2 Network element configuration

A factory default address is assigned to each network element that must normally be reconfigured on site following the network administrator rules. To this purpose it is required to connect the PC, where the IE has been installed, to the network interfaces. This has to be done via Ethernet cable. Warning: the checks that follow require a good knowledge of the program use. The description of each menu and relevant windows are given by the program itself as help on line.
Perform the login to the equipment by entering: Equipment IP address in address bar of IE User ID (default: SYSTEM) Password: (default: MICR)
16.1.3 Radio Checks

It is advisable to perform the following measurements to check the correct operation of the radio hop:

17 PERIODICAL CHECKS
17.1 GENERAL
Periodical checks are used to check correct operation of the radio equipment without the presence of any alarm condition. The Web_CIT running on the PC are used for the purpose.
17.2 CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT

The following checks must be carried out: check of the trasmitted power; check of the received field strength (the reading must match the value resulting from hop calculations); check of bit error rate and hop performances.
For checking procedures, please refer to Web-CIT and relevant help-on line.

19 COMPOSITION OF OUTDOOR UNIT

19.1 GENERAL
The ODU consists of a mechanical structure that houses all the transceiver circuitry. In 1+1 version the connection to the antenna is performed through a passive hybrid. Both transceiver and hybrid are offered in different versions depending on the operating bands, the antenna configuration etc... A label attached on the ODU structure shows the most significant parameters as go/return frequency value, subband, operating band and part number. For example the P/N GA0001/001, shown by the label, identifies the following: 18 GHz G/R SB S/N 18 GHz operating band 1010 MHz go/return frequency value 1L operating subband low serial number month and year
