1.1.2 MIMO Scenario
Figure 1-3 illustrates a MIMO scenario supported by two GX Quad-Band units. In MIMO installations each MIMO stream is
supported by a single GX unit. The MIMO1 and MIMO2 services are conditioned via two independent sectors in the RIU-12
(i.e., SectorA and SectorB) and routed through separate optical modules in the OCH. Note the following:
Installations with RIU-4 units require a dedicated RIU-4 per GX model
Either an OCH-8 (supporting two separate optical modules) or an OCH-4 unit per GX is used
*Eternal Combiner Insertion Loss of 1.0 dB
