Long-haul systems are operated in the lower RF bands (3 to 10 GHz). Longer radio hops are increasingly affected by selective fading. Short-haul systems are operated in the upper RF bands (10 to 50 GHz). These frequencies are more susceptible to flat fading effects.

To be able to provide the required transmission performance even on radio hops of a length between 30 km and 80 km or under difficult propagation conditions, Space Diversity can be used. In this case, a second receive path is set up (additional antenna). Difficult propagation conditions Additional antennas Spacing: min. 100 x wavelength Second receive path Receive signals are evaluated and combined

Notes: Use of the cross-polarization interference canceller (XPIC) Orthomode transducer (OMT): The difference between an orthomode transducer and a singlepolarized feeder system lies in the high input and/or output decoupling and the excellent adaptation of the OMT which permits a very high decoupling factor for the two antennas after their alignment. Compared to the co-polar output, the cross-polar output of the OMT has a low level when the antennas are slightly misaligned. Using a simple receiver, this level can be adjusted to a minimum Rx level (high decoupling) by carefully turning the antenna (left/right).
Richtung Antenne b a E-Feld b-Seite a-Seite

Generally, the electrical field (E-field) in a waveguide cross-section is placed vertically to the a-side or parallelly to the b-side of the waveguide. Caution! Before defining the polarization of an antenna, you must search the cross-section of the OMT whose b-side is assigned to the antenna direction. 1. If this b-side or E-field is vertical in case of an OMT/antenna combination, this waveguide crosssection of the OMT corresponds to the vertical polarization of the antenna. Consequently, the second waveguide cross-section of the OMT represents the horizontal polarization of the antenna. 2. If this b-side is not vertical, but horizontal, this waveguide cross-section represents the horizontal polarization of the antenna.

Notes: Frequency pattern exploitation Depending on the frequency pattern, up to eight RF channels (e.g. 6.8 GHz) can be used. The use of a cross-polarization interference canceller (XPIC) permits the RF channels to be operated on two polarization planes. This doubles the transmission capacity. Depending on the frequency pattern, up to 16xSTM-1 signals can be transmitted by one radio hop and one antenna. In 40 MHz frequency patterns, the system will be operated with 64 MLQAM. Thus, a connection to the same antenna and the same polarization is possible with single channel spacing (40 MHz). The use of an XPIC permits CCDP operation (Co-Channel-Dual-Polarized). In frequency patterns with a channel spacing of 28 to 30 MHz, the system operated with 128 MLQAM can be connected to the same antenna and same polarization with a single channel spacing (28 to 30 MHz). Due to the use of 128 MLQAM with XPIC, the transmission capacity in the CCDP mode is doubled in these patterns. If in frequency patterns with a channel spacing of 28 to 30 MHz, the system is operated with 64 MLQAM modulation, a connection to the same antenna and same polarization plane is possible with double channel spacing. In the ACDP mode (Adjacent-Channel-Dual-Polarized), the crosspolarization plane is occupied with single channel spacing. The cross-polarization interference canceller is integrated in the demodulator. It is softwareactivated. 2005 Marconi Communications GmbH. All rights reserved.

Marconi Academy

Notes: XPIC If both polarizations of the same microwave radio transmission channel are occupied, the signal transmitted via one polarization always disturbs that on the other. In times without fading, the discrimination between the two polarization planes is sufficient, so that the transmission performance is only slightly degraded. However, as soon as selective fading effects occur, the crosspolarization discrimination decreases and the transmission performance is degraded to impermissible values. For this reason, cross-polarization interference cancellers (XPIC) are used as countermeasure. These are adaptive equalizers which compensate the interference effects caused by the cross-polar signal to a large extent on the Rx side of the demodulator. The equalizer is composed of the same integrated circuit as used in the baseband equalizer.

Notes: Space diversity Space diversity configurations are used to guarantee the required transmission quality even in case of radio hops with lengths of 30 to 80 km or under difficult propagation conditions. Each TRX unit houses two identical receive sections to support space diversity operation. The received signals are supplied by two vertically separated antennas. The received signals are combined by a digitally implemented space diversity combiner which jointly performs adaptive equalization prior to merging the main signal and diversity signal into the combined signal. The use of separate antennas for the main receiver and diversity receiver leads to different propagation delays of these signals. This differential delay between the main and diversity signal must be measured and compensated. Delay compensation is a fully automated procedure implemented by the digital space diversity combiner requiring no additional hardware. The signal processing of the diversity combiner uses two adaptive filters for the main and diversity signal. This advanced signal processing structure provides better performance than classical combining methods such as: IF combining with maximum power / maximum gain criterion IF combining with maximum power + distortion criterion Baseband switching combiner

Notes: 1+1 line protection Fig. shows a radio terminal with 1+1 line protection without the possibility to reuse the protection channel for occasional traffic. A single data stream is transmitted independently over two radio channels with channel frequencies fOP1 and fPR1. The received data streams are recombined into a single data stream by the STM-1 module of the operating channel. Recombining essentially results in the selection of the data stream with the lower bit error ratio. Consequently, 1+1 line protection acts like a switching combiner where the diversity improvement compared to an unprotected system depends on the channel separation Df = fOP1 - fPR1 (see Fig. 1-14). Generally, the performance increases with the channel separation Df due to a frequency diversity effect. If it is possible to sacrifice part of the improvement obtained due to the frequency diversity effect, the protection channel may be configured to carry a STM-1 data stream which is dropped whenever the operating channel requires protection

Notes: Line protection A radio system with line protection uses a number N > 1 of operating channels referred to as OP1, ..., OPN and a number M 1 of protection channels called PR1, ..., PRM. Each channel refers to a specific radio channel frequency. Radio channel frequencies of operating channels are called fOP1, ..., fOPM, whereas channel frequencies of protection channel(s) are referred to as fPR1, ..., fPRM. While signal transmission is error-free, transmission takes place via operating channels. In this case, the protection channels can be used to transmit low-priority data dropped as soon as switchover to the corresponding channel takes place in consequence of a fault. This low-priority traffic is generally referred to as "occasional traffic" (OT). In case of degraded or faulty signal transmission in one or several operating channels, an arbitration procedure selects the degraded channel(s) with the highest priority and uses an appropriate protection channel as secondary transmission channel. The MDRS 155 EC microwave radio system implements RPS functionality with a single protection channel (M=1). Line protection for up to 9 operating channels is feasible. Thus, systems with up to (9+1) configuration can be implemented. If there are more than 9 operating channels to be lineprotected, a second protection channel is required. In this case, systems can be set up with up to 2*(9+1) configuration.

Notes: N+1 line protection With N+1 protection configurations, N+1 STM-1 data streams are transmitted. The number of operating channels (N = 1 to 9) depends on the frequency pattern used. Thus, N operating channels share a common protection channel. Operating channels as well as the protecting channel monitor their transmission quality and system status. Based on these indicators, each channel generates a request level (RQL) which signifies the severity of each channel's protection request. Based on these request levels, the N+1 radio system always knows as to which operating channel should be protected.

Notes: 1+1 hot standby In a 1+1 hot standby configuration (HSB, equipment protection), only one STM-1 data stream is transmitted at a time. On the transmit side, the data stream is split up into identical data signals which are applied to separate TRX units. An RF switch selects the TX signal of the active TRX unit and switches over to the standby TRX unit in case of an equipment failure of the active TRX unit. On the receive side, the RX signal is routed via an RF coupler to the receivers of the active TRX unit and standby TRX unit. A hitless protection switching circuit in the baseband unit (BBU) selects the better of the two data streams received. Recovered data are applied to the appropriate STM-1 interface of the BBU. The RPS module of the BBU controls the coaxial RF switch and monitors the actual switching position of the switch. Recombining/merging the received data streams does not result in additional bit errors (hitless switching), whereas the activation of the coaxial switch leads to a short interruption of signal transmission. 1+1 hot standby (space diversity) On radio hops with critical propagation conditions, space diversity may be necessary. Since each TRX unit already comprises a full diversity receiver, the hardware additionally required is negligible (except for the second antenna and RF filters of the channel branching network). With this configuration, there is no need for RF couplers for the signals received from the main antenna and diversity antenna. The diversity combiner of each TRX unit is not used in this case. Instead diversity combining is carried out using synchronous hitless switching between STM-1 data streams in the BBU.

Notes: Channel Branching Network A branching circulator with separate Tx and Rx paths is provided. The only exception are the branching networks of the Tx/Rx side in 1+1 HSB configurations. The RF Connecting Unit is composed of the harmonics filter, mounting bracket and branching circulator. A harmonics filter limits undesired harmonics emission. For frequency patterns with small center gap spacings, a center gap filter (bandstop) is used in both the Tx and Rx path. The respective circulator of the Tx and Rx side is terminated by an absorber at one end. The antenna waveguide is connected via a flexible coaxial cable with waveguide transition (PDR flange) and air inlet to the RF Connecting Unit. A circulator can be used to connect a single filter or double filter (diplexer). This type of multiple filters permit a low-loss branching network design, since a lower number of circulator runs are required. Due to the favorable delay time behaviour, the filter arrangement with diplexers also permits very small RF adjacent channel spacings. The following slides show the channel branching design with single filters for operation without space diversity, with space diversity or with space diversity and XPIC, where the two polarizations used are mounted in two racks.

Notes: The Alform waveguide is a smooth-walled waveguide supplied on cable drums. It is made from pure aluminium (AL 99.8) and has an oval inner cross-section. It is designed for extreme electrical requirements in microwave radio technology, especially for systems operating in the frequency ranges from 3.4 to 30.0 GHz. The Alform waveguide can also be operated as overmoded (low-loss) waveguide for the frequency bands of 13 GHz, 14 GHz, 15 GHz, 19 GHz and 23 GHz. Special features: - Considerably lower transmission loss compared to rectangular waveguides; - Small reflection factor nearly independent of the line length; - Negligible increase in noise caused by joints; - Bendable over both cross-section axes (H- and E-planes) - Twistable over short lengths; - Bends and twists can be undone and corrected; - Weatherproof. Special fittings are available to connect Alform waveguides to standardized rectanglar waveguides. Alform waveguides are supplied on transport drums or in boxes and can generally be laid like coaxial cables using the normal auxiliary devices such as winch, drum trestle etc.. However, in case of direction changes, the Alfom waveguide must be pulled over special deflector segments (auxiliary mounting device). Normally, bending and twisting are possible manually. For special cases, however, appropriate tools are available for this purpose.
