    INSTALLATION

    - Double polarization antenna

    - IDU-ODU cables = same length (max difference 1,5 m)

    - RIM to RIM short cables F01693, 4 identical cables

    - Set same RF channel for H and V polarisation

    - Low ATPC level 15 dB higher than BER=10-6 threshold

    - J0 shall be different on path H and V

    Traffic Protection on manual operations on cross polar path

  • 19 ALS Copyright Siae Microelettronica s.p.a.

    ALS XPIC (2)

    Traffic Protection on manual operations on cross polar path :

    - In case of Loop IF, Loop RF, RT-PSU off, Carrier onlyother manual operations are automatically activated (and shown into Manual Operation List), for example:

    Loop RF Radio1A > Rim1A Xpic input disable (local radio),

    Radio1A Tx off (remote radio).

    Loop IF Radio1A > Rim1A Xpic Input Disable (local radio),

    Radio1A Tx off (remote radio).

    Carrier only Radio1A>Rim1B Xpic Input disable (remote radio).

    RTPSU off Radio1A> Rim1B Xpic Input disable (local radio),

    Radio1A Tx off (remote radio),

    Rim1B Xpic Input disable (remote radio).

    - A complete list of manual operations automatically activated are reported into ALS manual

    ALS XPIC (3)

    Autodiagnosis and Autoprotection of one traffic path for

    1+0 systems in case of failure on the other path:

    - Automatic distinction of internal alarms and external alarms (fading)

    - Automatic activation of the Fault Management Procedure (FMP)

    - In case of HW failure the transmitter of failed branch is switched off and all XPIC functionalities of the other path are switched off by FMP

    - FMP decision is permanent until an operator reset

    - The FMP can be disabled with a manual operation and after the programmable time out FMP is automatically enabled

  • 21 ALS Copyright Siae Microelettronica s.p.a.

    Fault management procedureIn XPIC radio link where the two polarizations carry different signals,the problems on one polarization disturbs the otherFault Management Procedure (FMP) is used in XPIC 1+0 systems (2xSTM1 or 4xSTM1) to protect the traffic on a polarization against hardware failures occurred on the opposite polarization radio path.FMP distinguishes between external (e.g. fading) and internal alarmsand switches off automatically the alarmed path protecting the other:

    Once the decision is taken, only an operator with SCT/LCT program orNMS5UX can reset the status.

    FMP can activate the following manual operations: remote Tx off local Xpic disable disable FMP

    XPIC SYSTEMS

    Transmissions on the same RF channel with ortogonal polarizations are possible using a XPIC circuit (Cross Polar Interference Canceller).System consists of two independent transceivers, each of them connected to one polarization of a cross polarized antenna: to delete interferences due to propagation cross polarization and to antenna XPD, the receivers include the XPIC, which cleans and combines the two received orthogonal signals in order to recover the two original.

  • 29 ALS Copyright Siae Microelettronica s.p.a.

    In time domain, Rx IF signals are processed by demod and by orthogonal XPIC, are combined and are restored by a further decision circuit which improves radio hop C/I of 17 dB at least (depending on modulation used)

    Preferential: operator can select which branch must be operative without alarms.Tx WaitTime time before coming back to the preferential branch when alarms disappear. In this way the controller doesnt switch continuously in case of fleeting alarms.Reset = Wait Time is not respected (immediately to Preferential)Full auto: both branches have same priority

    Manual forcingOperator can select which branch must be operative despite alarms

    Revertive

    When a branch is declared preferential, the switch on opposite branch givesRevertive alarm.The return to the preferential branch, when available again, happens after Wait Time period (Tx only, remember Txswitch is not hitless).

    STM-1 line side alarms STM-1 Los: loss of signal (no input), AIS is inserted on tributary lines (Tx). STM-1 Lof: loss of frame (failed recognition of A1,A2). Perform a STM-1 loop

    and if alarm persists, replace LIM (Tx). STM-1 J0 Trace Identifier Mismatch: J0 received is not the expected one. AIS

    inserted on VC12. Check configuration and network (Tx).In case of: LOS, LOF, J0 TIM

    then:- MS AIS signal is inserted on MSOH and on Payload- Local restart is enabled

    STM-1 B2 Signal Degraded: BER on MSOH B2 is higher than configured threshold. Check the network.

    STM-1 B2 Excessive BER: HBER on MSOH B2. Check the network STM-1 MsAIS: AIS detected in input. Check the network. External fault. STM-1 MsRDI: K2 carries Remote Defect Indication in input from remote ADM.

    External fault. STM-1 Qecc: ECC interrupted line side. Check radio link and IP addresses

    settings.

    This alarm causes RT-Tx alarms. Replace RIM (Tx). RIM-x Modulation Fail: Modulator damaged or Carrier only command active. This

    alarm causes RT-Tx alarms. Replace RIM (Tx). RIM-x Demodulation Fail: Demodulator damaged. This alarm causes Baseband

    alarm in Rx side and all quality alarms. Replace RIM (Rx). RIM-x Demodulator Loss of Signal: Dem Rx signal is missing (no 140 MHz from RT)

    or squelched (bad propagation or no remote) Check Rx level, RT Rx alarms and cabling. This alarm causes Baseband alarm in Rx side. If necessary replace RIM (Rx).
