1 Product Overview
This section includes a product overview of CDU-A, a combining and distribution
unit used in low-capacity cells where high coverage is needed.
1.1 Main Functions
This section describes the main functions of CDU-A:
Distribution of two independent RX antennas to two receivers
Connection of two TXs to two antennas
Simultaneous transmission and reception on each antenna (GSM 900
version)
No transmitter combining
Baseband and synthesizer frequency hopping support
Power and supervision of an external Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) via
the receiver (RX) antenna cables (GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 versions)
Note: TMA is optional for GSM 1800 and mandatory for GSM 1900.
1.2 Variants
CDU-A is available for:
GSM 900
GSM 1800
GSM 1900
The GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 versions are identical, except for the frequency
bands.
CDU-A for GSM 900 is equipped with two duplexers. CDU-A for GSM 1800
and GSM 1900 are not equipped with duplexers and therefore require separate
antenna feeders for the TX and RX signals in both the A and B signal paths.
