BMU, Base Station Master Unit

A BMU is an RF repeater type equipped with a FOU that gives the repeater ability to

transmit and receive optical signals on the service side.

The BMU has an RF port for BTS connection and up to four fiber optic ports that can

be connected to FORs.

By configuring the FOU with WDMs and OSPs, up to approximately four FORs can be

fed in parallel by a BMU via double or single fiber communication. Up to approximately

eight FORs can be fed with a high cover and two FOUs.

The BMU is described, with all included sub units, block diagram, and mechanical

design, in the VD203 66/EN, AR Repeaters, User’s Manual.

RMU, Repeater Master Unit

An RMU is an RF repeater type equipped with an FOU that gives the repeater ability to

transmit and receive optical signals on the service side.

The RMU has an RF port for a donor antenna and up to four fiber optic ports that can be

connected to FORs.

By configuring the FOU with WDMs and OSPs, up to four FORs can be fed in parallel

by a BMU via double or single fiber communication. Up to eight FORs can be fed with

a high cover and two FOUs.

The RMU is described, with all included sub units, block diagram, and mechanical

design, in the VD203 66/EN, AR Repeaters, User’s Manual.

FOR, Fiber Optic Repeater

A FOR is an RF repeater type equipped with an FOU that gives the repeater ability to

transmit and receive optical signals on the donor side.

The FOR has a fiber optic donor port and an RF port for a service antenna.

By configuring the FOU with a splitter, another FOR can be optically connected to the

same RF system.

The FOR can be connected to a BMU or RMU.

The FOR is described, with all included sub units, block diagram, and mechanical

design, in the VD203 66/EN, AR Repeaters, User’s Manual.
