Ericsson Mini-Link is a series of commercially very successful microwave links.
5
6
They are used world-wide for back-hauling GSM BTS and UMTS Node-B, i.e. for the
7
A-bis and IuB-links.
8
9
Every microwave link is a point-to-point link.
10
11
Each side of the link has an IDU (In Door Unit) and ODU (Out Door Unit).
12
13
=== IDU ===
14
The IDU is responsible for transmitting and receiving at the respective microwave frequency (normally 7...38GHz).
15
16
In the Mini-Link system they are most commonly they are called MMU.
17
18
There are different types of MMUs, representing the different link speeds of the microwave link, e.g.
19
 * MMU 34+2 (1 E3 link at 34 Mbps plus 1 E1 link for mgmt)
20
 * MMU 4x2 (4 E1 links at each 2 Mbps)
21
22
The MMU has connections for the data links (E1, E3, STM-1, etc.) as well as a coaxial wire connecting it with the
23
ODU.
24
25
=== ODU ===
26
The ODU is contains the actual modem that modulates the E1, E3 or STM-1 link onto the IF (Intermediate Frequency)
27
which is put on the coaxial link towards the ODU.
28
29
Conversely, on a different IF, there is the down-link from the ODU towards the demodulator/decoder in the IDU.
30
31
In the Mini-Link system, the ODU is commonly called RAU (Radio Access Unit).

35
=== IF-Link between IDU and ODU ===
36
There are three intermediate frequencies (IFs) that are being used:
37
 * Uplink IF at 350 MHz
38
 * Downlink IF at 140 MHz
39
 * Control IF at low frequency
