Figure 7 is a schematic showing the data flow in the RAN chassis. As shown, data flows in two
directions, from the Hub through the RAN to the antenna, and from the antenna through the
RAN back to the Hub. In each direction, data conversion occurs, with optical data
“upconverted” to RF data in the up direction in the schematic, and RF data “downconverted” to
optical data in the down direction. In an up direction, the RUC module converts Digitized
Intermediate Frequency (DIF) data into PCS, Cellular, and SMR frequency RF bands. The RF
signals are amplified and then transmitted from the RF antenna. In the down direction, the RDC
module converts PCS, Cellular, and SMR frequency bands into DIF data. The overall series of
events is managed by the CPU using an Ethernet connection to the chassis backplane.
