Dual band TDF
Overview of
Dual band TDF
The purpose of the dual band twin duplexed filter (dual band TDF) Tx block is to
enable one 900 MHz antenna to serve one EGSM900 CTU for both Tx and Rx,
and an 1800 MHz antenna to serve one DCS1800 CTU for both Tx and Rx.
NOTE
A dual band TDF is not currently available for use with the
GSM850 or PCS1900 BTS variants.
The dual band TDF is essentially a TDF with one section providing a path for
900 MHz signals and another section providing a path for 1800 MHz signals.
There is no combining in the dual band TDF.
The dual band TDF is located in the basket above the CTUs, and attached to
the top surface of the top panel using two M6 screws.
