Interfacing the Fusion Wideband Main Hub to an RF Source

7-54 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual

CONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev F

Connecting Multiple Wideband Main Hubs to a Duplex Repeater

or BTS

WARNING: Only TE personnel or TE-authorized installation person-

nel should connect the Fusion Wideband Main Hub to a base station or

repeater. Exceeding the maximum input power could cause failure of

the Fusion Wideband Main Hub (refer to Section 5.2 on page 5-4 for

maximum power specifications). If the maximum composite power is

too high, attenuation is required.

Considerations:

• 2 hybrid power combiner/splitters; one for uplink and one for downlink (2x1 for

two Fusion Wideband Main Hubs, 3x1 for three, 4x1 for four, and so.)

• 2 N-male to N-male coaxial jumper cables to connect each Fusion Wideband Main

Hub’s RF Band to the power combiner/splitters

• 1 circulator

• 1 N-male to N-male coaxial jumper cable between each circulator and the repeater

or base station

• 1 N-male to N-male coaxial jumper cable between each circulator and power com-

biner/splitter

Procedure:

1. Connect the circulator to the repeater or base station using one N-male to N-male

coaxial jumper cable.

2. Connect each power combiner/splitter to the circulator using one N-male to

N-male coaxial jumper cable per combiner/splitter.

3. Connect the power combiner/splitter to the Hubs using N-male to N-male coaxial

jumper cable:

a. From the first Hub’s UPLINK (Band 1, Band 2, or Band 3) port to the first

power combiner/splitter

b. From the first Hub’s DOWNLINK (Band 1, Band 2, or Band 3) port to the sec-

ond power combiner/splitter

c. From the second Hub’s UPLINK (Band 1, Band 2, or Band 3) port to the first

power combiner/splitter

d. From the second Hub’s DOWNLINK (Band 1, Band 2, or Band 3) port to the

second power combiner/splitter

NOTE: Connections should not cross Bands. For example, all Band 1 connections

should be made to the same hybrid power combiner/splitter connected to the repeater

BTS that matches the Band 1 frequency.
