Function
Function Description
Module
Each antenna uses an 8x12 array and supports 96 dual-polarized
AU
elements to transmit and receive radio waves.
 Performs down-conversion, amplification, analog-to-digital
conversion (using the ADC), and digital IF processing for RF
signals through the RX channel. (ADC is short for analog to
digital converter, and IF is short for intermediate frequency.)
 Performs filtering, digital-to-analog conversion (using the
DAC), up-conversion, and analog signal amplification for
RU
downlink signals through the TX channel. (DAC is short for
digital-to-analog converter.)
 Performs phase calibration for uplink and downlink RF
channels.
 Provides –48 V DC power port.
 Provides protection and filtering functions.
Power
Supplies the operating voltage to the AU and RU.

AAU5613 Antenna Downtilt Adjustment (Modifying the
Digital Weight)
 Massive MIMO modules are 64T64R AAUs, and each antenna array has
four independent RF channels. The antenna beam tilt can be adjusted by
changing the phase weights K1, K2, K3, and K4 of the four RF channels.

Run the MML command of MOD NRLOCELLRSVDPARAM to configure

Diagram of massive MIMO downtilt control
Rsvd8Param17 (tilt) and Rsvd8Param12 (coverage scenario).
 Set the downtilt using the TILT parameter.
 Set parameters such as the tilt, horizontal beamwidth, and vertical
beamwidth of broadcast beams using the CoverageScenario parameter to
adjust the broadcast beam form.
 Broadcast beamforming enables the base station to apply weighting on
broadcast beams to adjust the coverage scope of such beams.
 The weighting designed for typical coverage scenarios has been written
into the antenna weight file, which is included in the eNodeB software
package.
The product software adjusts the antenna downtilt and other parameters
according to the values of K1, K2, K3, and K4. The values of K1, K2, K3, and K4
are generated based on TILT and CoverageScenario parameters.

Surge Protection—Lightning Rod
1. In pole-mounted or pole top-mounted scenarios, the installation site must meet
the requirements for surge protection. Otherwise, surge protection measures
should be taken.
2. A lightning rod should be installed to protect AAUs from direct lightning strikes,
if the following two conditions are met at the installation site of the AAU.
a. When the AAU is pole-mounted or pole top-mounted, the distance between
the top of the pole and that of the AAU is less than 30 cm (11.81 in.).
b. The installation site of the AAU is not within the protection coverage of the
nearby lightning rod.
3. If a lightning rod is to be installed at the installation site of the AAU, the
following conditions should be met:
a. The lightning rod must be 30 cm higher than the top of the AAU.
b. The AAU is covered within 45-degree protection area of the lightning rod.
c. The lightning rod must be grounded properly.
d. The ground cable of the AAU must be connected to the ground bar of the
ground grid.
In addition to the preceding requirements, the lightning rod must be installed
according to the related surge protection standard of the building.
