AirPair 24 – 50 & 100 Mbps 24GHz ISM (unlicensed) Band Top Level Functional Description Intended Function • The AirPair wireless system is a short range device (SRD) which transmits 50 or 100 Mbps (full duplex) between two fixed points. System Desciption • The system is comprised of two receiver/tr ansmitter units (AirPair radio terminals). These are located at the respective ends o f the radio link. Each AirPair radio terminal is equipped with a fixed, high gain, directional antenna which is 30 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm or 120 cm in diameter. The smallest of these antenna s (30 cm dia) provides > 33 dBi of boresite antenna gain. Block Diagram Description – AirPair radio terminal • Data transmit path o Signals from the Fast Ethernet network interface are pro cessed by the network interface block which creates a digital transmit signal flow. This is forwarded to the modem bl ock which adds encryption (op tionally) and error correction and creates a 4, 16, 32 or 64 QAM representation of the data signal and its associ ated overhead information. o The modem drives the modulated signals in I/Q form into the first conversion stage. This stage uses a 400 MHz to 700 MHz tunable LO to up-convert the signa l to within a 400 to 700 MHz IF. The tunable LO is programmed to set the correct transmitted output frequency within the 24.050 - 24.250 GHz band. The IF (400 to 700 MHz range) is then block converted by a fixed sub-harmonic LO at 12375 MHz) o The RF transmit signal is then amplified and filtered a nd passed through an Ortho-Mode Transducer (OMT). The OMT feeds the transmit signal into the antenna where it is transmitted through the highly directional antenna. This transmission is contained w ithin the 24.050 – 24.250 GHz range. • Data receive path o RF receive signals are passed from the highly directional antenna to the OMT. The OMT outputs the RF receive signal which is then amplified and filtered o This RF signal is block down-convert ed through a sub-harmonic mixing stag e using a fixed LO at 12950 MHz. The first IF is in the range 1600 to 1900 MHz. o The first IF is down-converted using a tunable LO wh ich is programmed (between 1460 to 1760 [or 1350 to 1650] MHz) to select the desired signal frequency. The output of this mixing is the second IF at 140 (or 250) MHz. This is then mixed with a fixed LO at 140 MH z (or 250 MHz). The output base-band I/ Q signal is then passed to the modem block. o The modem block accepts the 4, 16 32 or 64 QAM modulated si gnal and demodulates the data stream. It then applies appropriate error correction (a nd optional decryption) and passes the resul ting data stream to the network interface where the data is framed and transmitted thr ough the Fast Ethernet 100BaseT network interface. • Power & Grounding o The system employs an external, remote power module (indoor mounted) which provides -48VDC to the outdoor- mounted AirPair radio terminal. This power is fed to the to the AirPair radio term inal on its own cable or alternately on unused wires within the Fast Et hernet network interface cable. o The system is grounded and bonded such that the outdoor-mounted chassis of the AirPair radio terminal is at the earth ground potential of the mounting stru cture (i.e. a radio relay towe r or roof-top lightning ground).
