RRU 22 xx20
Remote Radio Unit for WCDMA RBS
The RRU22 xx20 2 carrier 20 W Remote Radio
Unit provides 1 carrier and 20 W nominal
output power or 2 carrier and 10 W nominal
output power.
The RRU, which is designed to be located
close to the antenna, contains the radio
specific HW for each sector. The rest of the
base station (control, base band, switching and
Iub interface parts) is contained in the Main
Unit. A thin optical fiber cable connects each
RRU to the RBS.
The RRU22 is designed for both standard
outdoors and mast-mounted environments.
It is a complete unit containing all radio
functionality. The RRU22 is powered with –48
VDC or 100-250 VAC and supports Remote
Electrical Tilt (RET) of the antenna.
The RRU22 can be wall or pole mounted
requiring no floor space.
The optical interface is based on the Common
Public Radio Interface – CPRI.
The RRU have connections for AC or DC
power, two antenna jumpers (for RX diversity),
the RET and the optical link. All connections
are located at the bottom of the RRU.
Since no fans are required for cooling, the
operation is silent. The power and optical link
connections are located at the bottom of the
RRU.
The RU22 provides an appealing solution for
sites with limitations in one or more of the
following: space, floor load, access, power
supply, noise and cooling equipment.
A Family of RRUs RRU Naming Nomenclature
Ericsson provides a family of RRUs with support The Ericsson RRUs are named in the following
for six different frequency bands and nominal way: RRU AB CDE
output power up to 40 W. Where:
A = Number of carriers DL
It is possible to mix different RRU types with B = Number of carriers UL
different output power to the same Main Unit. C = Frequency band (DL part of the band)
Dual band configurations are also supported by D = The suffix is used, when necessary, to
connecting RRUs for different frequency bands to describe partial frequency band in
the same Main Unit. accordance with the 3GPP standard
E = Output power (W)
The RRUs contain most of the radio processing
hardware. The main parts of the RRU are the:
• Filter Unit
• TRX Board
• Power Amplifier
