Noise load on Radio Base Station
Thesystemwillinevitablyaddsomenoisetothereceiver.Whenproperlysetupthenoisefigureinasystemlikethis
willbebetterthan3dB.However,ifthegainisimproperlysetup(i.e.notenoughgainintheremote,toomuchgain
inthehead‐end)itispossibletocr
eateaverybadnoisefigure.InordertoavoidthistheFiber‐DASCalculatorshould
beusedtocalculatethenoi se figureofthesystemin theuplink.
Ifyouhaveno
tfamiliarizedyourselfwiththeFiber‐DASCalculator,dosobeforemovingoninthismanual.The
figuresintheFiber‐DAScalculatorrelatetothesettingsofallstepsinthechain.Byusingthecalculator,youcan
determinethepropersettingsonceyouknowthefiberlossbe
tweentheRemoteUnitandtheheadend.
Letusassumeyo
urhavearrivedataNoiseFigure(NF)of3dBforthischain.Howeveryoursystemmaycontain
moreremotes,perhapsconnectedlikethesystemin
