Figure 1. Prism Remote Units (PRUs)
Depending on the Prism Remote Unit
model, a PRU enclosure can have from one to four RF Module bays and can
support up to four RF Modules, as indicated by the model name. That is, the Single-Bay PRU has one RF Module
bay and can only support one RF Module, and the Quad-Bay PRU has four RF Module bays and can support up to
four RF Modules.
The function of the Remote Unit RF M
odules on the Forward Path is to:
• convert the digitized RF transported fr
om the Host to Analog RF
• a
mplify the Analog RF signal
• provide signal filtering.
The function of the Remote Unit RF Modules on the Reverse Path is
to:
• conv
ert the Analog RF from the handset to Digital RF for transport to the Host
• ampl
ify the Digital RF signal
• provide signal filtering.
NOTE
: The RF Modules are field replaceable, but cannot be serviced in the field.
