C:\Ready_To_Convert\Doc\424912.DOC Page 1 of 1 24.05.04 General functional description Node C 19xx The Node C is designed to amplify signals between multiple UEs and a Base Tranceiver Station in a CDMA system. The unit consists of a filter and amplifier chain in the downlink and one or two filters and amplifier chains in the uplink (primary and diversity). The uplink and downlink paths are connected via a duplexer on both ends of each path. In the primary uplink path, a signal originating from the UE is separated from the downlink signal via the primary UL IN duplexer. It is then amplified by an integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) and forwarded to the uplink Digital Channel Module (DCM). The DCM down-converts the signal to base-band, digitally filters it, amplifies it and then up-converts it. In addition the interference cancellation technology is implemented in the DCM. Finally, the signal is sent to the final amplifier and combined with the downlink input signal in the DL IN duplexer. The optional diversity uplink path (via a second filter) is identical except signals enter via the diversity UL IN duplexer and are combined in the DCM with the primary path. In the downlink path, a signal originating from the Base Tranceiver Station is separated from the uplink signal in the DL IN duplexer. It is then amplified by an integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) and forwarded to the downlink digital channel module (DCM). The DCM down-converts the signal to base-band, digitally filters it amplifies it and then up-converts it. In addition the interference cancellation technology is implemented in the DCM. Finally, the signal is sent to the final amplifier and combined with the uplink input signal in the primary UL IN duplexer. The downlink DCM is also responsible for communication and control of the entire unit.
