Basics To Xpic Configuration

This document discusses the basics of XPIC (Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation) technology. XPIC allows for the same frequency to be assigned to both vertical and horizontal polarizations, doubling transmission capacity over the same channel. It works with co-channel dual polarization (CCDP) which transmits two signals using orthogonal polarizations. XPIC cancels out interference between the two polarization signals caused by cross-polarization discrimination during transmission. It involves receiving signals at both polarizations and using an XPIC module to filter and combine the signals to eliminate interference and recover the original transmitted signals.

BASICS TO XPIC

CONFIGURATION
Introduction

 XPIC means Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation


 XPIC increases capacity by allowing the assignment of the same frequency to both the
vertical and horizontal polarization on a path, hence an advantage where there is a
limitation in frequencies.
 XPIC technology doubles the link transmission capacity over the same channel.
 XPIC technology is used together with co-channel dual-polarization (CCDP)
XPIC Technology
 The co-channel dual-polarization (CCDP) and cross-polarization interference cancellation
(XPIC) technologies are developed based on microwave polarization characteristics.
CCDP, wherein two signals are transmitted over two orthogonal polarization waves,
doubles the transmission capacity. XPIC cancels the cross-polarization interference
between the two polarization waves.
 Microwave transmission can be classified into single-polarized transmission and CCDP
transmission by polarization transmission mode.
 In single-polarized transmission, a signal is transmitted over the horizontally polarized
wave or the vertically polarized wave on the same channel, as shown in Figure1 .
 In CCDP transmission, two signals are transmitted over the horizontally polarized wave
and the vertically polarized wave on the same channel, as shown in Figure2 .

Figure 2: CCDP transmission


 The ideal situation of CCDP transmission is that no interference exists between the two
orthogonal signals that operate at the same frequency, and the receiver can easily recover
the two signals.
 However, regardless of the orthogonality of the two signals, certain interference between
the signals exists, due to cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) of the antenna and
channel deterioration.
 To cancel the interference, the XPIC technology is used to receive and process the signals
in the horizontal and vertical directions so that the original signals are recovered.
System configuration

Typical XPIC configuration


Use 2 IF boards such as (ISV3) board and join between them by XPIC cable
by connecting x-in of board1 to x-out of board2 and vise versa

XPIC Configuration
Realization principle of the XPIC

 A cross polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) intermediate frequency (IF) board


processes incoming signals in the horizontal and vertical polarization directions so that the
original signals can be recovered from interference.
 This section considers two single-IF boards supporting the XPIC function as an example to
describe XPIC principle
 The realization principle is as follows:
 1. The transmitter transmits two co-frequency signals over a horizontal polarization wave
and a vertical polarization wave.
 2. Cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) and channel performance degradation result in
cross-polarization interference during signal transmission. The two ODUs receive these
affected signals and transmit them to the two XPIC IF board.
 3. The XPIC module of an XPIC IF board receives the IF signal from an ODU and the IF
signal from the other XPIC IF board, and performs A/D conversion for the IF signals.
 4. The XPIC module of the XPIC IF board controls the coefficient of the feed forward
equalizer filters (FFF) for the two IF signals by using the decision feedback equalizer
(DFE). After the two IF signals are filtered and combined, interference is eliminated.
