TRX
TRX board is responsible for base station wireless performance.
It supports 450, 800 and 1900 MHz frequencies, and its basic
performance meets the TIA/EIA-97-D protocol requirements.

Functions

Different Crest factor_reduction TRX board units perform the

following functions:

Crest Factor_reduction DIF

f

Receive main and diversity reception signals

Forward /Reverse signal digital frequency conversion

Converts forward digital modulated signals in to analog

signals

Converts reverse analog signals in to digital signals

Performs Crest factor_reduction on forward signals

Radio Link Board (RLB)

Performs up conversion on forward analog signals

Forward /Reverse link power attenuation control

Radio signal amplification and filtering

Performs filtering, amplification

diversity radio signals

on

Main/secondary

Performs median frequency amplification, filtering and

down conversion on reverse signals.

Monitor circuit

Provide RS 485 interface to analyze the running status of

TRX board.
Clock circuit

Receives RF clock from the RMM board, and this clock acts as
the running clock of the TRX board.
