Dual TRX Module (EXxA)
The Dual TRX Module (EXxA) is a two-carrier TRX unit. The module
contains the common (2 carrier) baseband part and two separate RF parts
for two transceivers (transmitter and receiver chains) and space for two
optional Wideband Combiner Modules.
The Dual TRX Module is used as:
. a combined module with the Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA), making

a logical Sector Module

. or a stand-alone TRX module with the Remote Tune Combiner

(ECxA) Module
. or a stand-alone extension TRX module.

The Dual TRX Module and System Module (ESMA) communication is

managed through a single Ethernet interface. Each transceiver within the
Dual TRX Module can be separately activated with a licence key at the
BSC.
The Dual TRX Module contains two transceivers that can be used:
. as a separate TRX in the same sector

. as a separate TRX in different sectors

. or as a Double Power TRX.

There are separate Dual TRX Modules for each frequency band that Nokia
Flexi EDGE BTS supports:
. EXTA – GSM800

. EXGA – GSM900

. EXDA – GSM1800

. EXPA – GSM1900

Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA)
The Dual Duplexer Module and the Dual TRX Module create one Sector
Module. One Dual Duplexer Module is needed per sector. The Dual
Duplexer Module is always attached to the Dual TRX Module, which
provides the Dual Duplexer Module with power and O&M link. Extension
Dual TRX Modules are installed without the Dual Duplexer Module.
The Dual Duplexer Module provides two antenna connections (configured
from 1 or 2 sectors) of Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS for by-pass and wideband
combined configurations. The Dual Duplexer Module supports antenna
sharing (co-siting) with another BTS as long as the frequency range meets
the given Nokia specifications.
The Dual Duplexer Module contains two duplex filters, two low-noise
amplifiers (LNAs), two Bias-Ts, and a common TRX loop for TRXs in one
sector. The TRX loop is controlled through the Sector Module.
The Bias-T is a circuit and function to supply power to a MHA. The Return
Loss monitor is a separate circuit and function that is independent of the
Bias-T. The functionality is now in the Dual Duplexer Module, and a
separate unit on top of BTS cabinets common in traditional solutions is no
longer needed.
The MHA current monitor allows the BTS to determine an alarm or fault
condition of the MHA.
The TX forward power alarm allows the BTS to report an alarm if
insufficient TX power is at the DDU's TX connector.
The LNAs have two gain states:
1. high-gain and
2. adjustable low-gain settings.

Nokia Flexi EDGE System Module
(ESMA)
The System Module is a unit providing BTS common functionalities and
external and internal connections for the whole BTS. The BTS software is
stored in the System Module.
The System Module also receives and stores the unit identification
information of all other units of the BTS. The System Module supports
configurations of up to 12 TRXs. For larger configurations, the System
Extension Module is used.
The main functions of the System Module are:
. BTS O&M
. BTS integrated transport
. Module bus control and BTS synchronisation
. Power distribution (48 VDC) to other modules
