4 | The Motorola Horizon macro BTS is a BTS model manufactured by Motorola in the late 1990ies. |
||
5 | |||
6 | It can support up to 6 TRX, typically in a configuration of 3 sectors. |
||
7 | |||
8 | There is currently no support for it in OpenBSC, but we are working on it. |

13 | 1 | laforge | === CTU === |
14 | |||
15 | The up to 6 CTU modules are the individual transceivers. They plug into the SURF RF backplane and have a front-accessible |
||
16 | DB9 serial port, as well as a SMA connector for the TX PA output. |
||
17 | |||
18 | This TX PA output is normally wired using a ~10cm semi-rigid SMA cable to the TX input port of a combiner. |
||
19 | |||
20 | 6 | laforge | The CTU is of course fully shielded. But if you remove the shielding cover, it looks like this: |

||
25 | * digital section in the top right part |
||
26 | * transmit section (exciter) in the center |
||
27 | * RF power amplifier in the bottom right part |
||
28 | |||
29 | 1 | laforge | === Combiner === |
30 | |||
31 | The combiner / duplexer combines the TX signal of two CTU and duplexes it with the Rx path in order to be able to have two TRX attached to one antenna |
||
32 | |||
33 | === MCUF === |
||
34 | |||
35 | The MCUF is a full-size digital board and contains the BTS controller |

||
39 | 1 | laforge | === NIU === |
40 | |||
41 | The NIU is a E1 interface card for up to two E1 lines. Multiple NIU boards can be plugged into the rack |
||

44 | |||
45 | 1 | laforge | === BPSM === |
46 | |||
47 | The BPSM is a small power supply for the NIU, MCUF and other digital boards |
||

50 | |||
51 | === ALARMS === |
||
52 | |||
53 | The ALARMS board is monitoring FAN and other alarms in the cabinet. |
||

||
56 | 1 | laforge | === A-bis interface === |
57 | |||
58 | The A-bis interface is via classic E1 lines. The Horizon indoor cabinet supports up to 6 E1 ports. |
||
59 | |||
60 | Each NIU module serves 1 or 2 E1 ports. |
||
61 | |||
62 | The E1 ports are physically routed to the BIB (Balanced Interface Board) module on top of the cabinet. |
||
63 | |||
64 | The pinout of the 37pin D-Sub connector on top of the BIB board has been reversed as: |
