Sector Configuration

There are a number of ways to configure the BTS frame. Table 1-4

outlines the basic requirements. For more detailed information also see

Table 1-5 and Figure 1-7. When carrier capacity is greater than two, a

2:1 cavity combiner must be used. For one or two carriers, bandpass

filters or cavity combiners may be used, depending on sectorization and

channel sequencing.

The matrix in Table 1-5 shows a correlation between the various sector

configurations and BBX cards.
