Base Station Chassis (Shelf)
Base Station
Shelf
(BMAX-BS-SH)
An 8U + 1U high cPCI (compact Peripheral Component

Interconnect) shelf
Designed for installation in a 19 or ETSI (23) rack
Has a total of nine double Euro (6U high) slots, for AUs and
NPUs, and six single Euro (3U high) slots, for PIUs and PSUs
All the modules are hot swappable, and high availability can be
provided through multiple redundancy schemes
The Base Station chassis contains an air convection and

ventilation fan tray (Air Ventilation Unit)
Air Ventilation Unit (AVU)
2U high
10 brush-less fans,
where 9 fans are
sufficient for cooling a
fully loaded chassis
Failure is indicated by
both the front panel
LEDs and a trap that is
sent to the
management system
The chassis may

operate with the hotswappable fan tray
extracted
for up 10 to minutes
Redundancy 9 + 1

In a TDD system
AU-IDU-4C
PIU
AU-IDU-4C
PSU
The F/B ratio of the SUs is preventing the

other base station from interfering
There is only one frequency for receive and

transmit. If the base stations are not
synchronized, when BS#1 transmit and BS#2
receives, the transmission of BS#1 interferes
with the transmission of SU2

accuracy of 10e-11 and maximum
jitter of 100ns
The GPS system transmits two
streams of information:
PPS - Pulse Per Second
a stream of pulses separated by
1 second
PPS ID a number identifying

The ODU Power Feeder is used

to provide power (-48 VDC) to
the AU-ODU-HP
It transfers transparently all

signals between the AU-IDU and
the ODU, while injecting
DCpower received from an
external source
Each ODU Power Feeder unit

can serve up to four High Power
ODUs
Up to three ODU Power Feeder

units can be installed in a 1U
high Power Feeder panel
