NOTE
● When the RRU5904w works in the RX frequency band of 814 MHz to 824 MHz and the
TX frequency band of 859 MHz to 869 MHz, it cannot work in GSM, UMTS, or NR FDD
mode.
● Passive intermodulation (PIM) refers to the intermodulation effect caused by
nonlinearities in the passive components of an antenna system when high-power
signals of multiple frequencies are transmitted. This intermodulation effect decreases
the uplink sensitivity and negatively affects the network quality.
● When the RX and TX signals of an RRU are configured on the same port, the third-order
passive intermodulation (PIM3) may affect the RX frequency band. Moreover, the
antenna system (including but not limited to the antenna, feeder/jumper, combiner,
TMA, anti-interference filter, surge protector, and RET device) affects PIM3 indicators,
which deteriorates the performance of the receive frequency band and causes the
receive frequency band even to be unusable. For example, when the PIM3 is -140
dBc@2x43 dBm, the static receiver sensitivity of a single RRU channel deteriorates by 22
dB or less for GSM and by 9 dB or less for UMTS/LTE/NR FDD.

NR FDD: 3 carriers
a: mTnR in the TX/RX Mode column indicates that the RF module uses m
transmit channels and n receive channels.
b: The number of carriers in the Capacity column refers to the maximum
number of carriers that can be configured for the module with the RAT
configured, not the number of carriers that can be configured for a single
channel. For details about the module-level and channel-level carrier
configurations supported in single-mode and multimode scenarios, see the
Output Power Configuration column in the following table. When the module
is used with a feature, see the feature specifications in the corresponding
feature parameter description to learn the module-level or channel-level carrier
configurations that are supported after the feature is enabled.
c: The bandwidth information in Supported Bandwidth is the standard
bandwidth that can be configured for a carrier when only one carrier is
configured for the module working in a single mode. In any carrier combination
scenario, the difference between the absolute value of the highest frequency
and the absolute value of the lowest frequency of the involved carriers
operating on the same band cannot exceed the instantaneous bandwidth (IBW).
For details about the bandwidth that can be configured for each carrier in each
carrier combination scenario, see Output Power Configuration in the following
table. For details about the non-standard bandwidths that can be configured for
LTE FDD carriers, see Compact Bandwidth (FDD).
NOTE
● The NB-IoT multi-carrier function is an NB-IoT multi-carrier transmission technology

introduced based on 3GPP Release 13. A cell can have multiple carriers and assigns UEs
to multiple carriers to increase cell capacity. For details about this function and related
parameter settings, see NB-IoT Enhancements (FDD) in the eRAN FDD Feature
Documentation.

a: mxP W in the Maximum Output Power column indicates that the number of
TX channels of the RF module is m and the maximum output power of each
channel is P W.
NOTE
● The Typical Power Configurations document includes the configurable carrier

combinations and the output power of each carrier in each combination. Before
referring to this document, you must be familiar with the output power configuration
rules. For details, see 6 RF Output Power Configuration Rules.
● The carrier bandwidths supported by carriers with different power may be different. For
details about the output power of carriers and supported carrier bandwidth, see Typical
Power Configurations. Output Power per Carrier indicates the maximum output
power of each carrier under the corresponding configuration to ensure network
performance. The actually configured carrier power of RF modules can be less than or
equal to the value of Output Power per Carrier in the document. The power
configuration that is not supported in the document may be configurable on the
software. Performance can only be ensured under the power configurations listed in the
document.
● When the center frequency of a carrier is within the 2.5 MHz bandwidth at the edge,
the maximum output power per channel is 40 W.

NOTE
The RRU5904w provides the passive intermodulation (PIM) cancellation function.

● The maximum gain of PIM cancellation can reach 15 dB. This function reduces the
negative impact of the intermodulation effect on the system. The following factors
impact PIM cancellation performance:
● Antennas: For example, the antenna experiences water corrosion, the antenna is
aged, or the screws inside the antenna are loose.
● Connectors: For example, the jumper connector is not securely connected, and the
jumper port is corroded by water or aged.
● External PIM issues: For example, metal obstacles (steel rope of the guyed mast,
metal fence, lightning protection ground bar, or billboard) exist near the radiation
surface of the antenna.
● Other factors that may cause PIM
● An RRU must be used in a simple antenna networking scenario where the RRU uses a
fixed-length jumper (≤ 6 m or 19.68 ft.) to directly connect to the antenna. In this
scenario, there is no intermediate component such as a combiner between the RRU and
the antenna. The fixed-length jumper is used because it can effectively mitigate the PIM
effect.

Technical Specifications 6 RF Output Power Configuration Rules
6 RF Output Power Configuration Rules
This chapter describes the rules for configuring RF output power.
General Rules
● The total output power of all carriers on a single channel cannot exceed the
maximum output power of a single channel.
● The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when a module is
located at an altitude of 3500 m (11482.80 ft) to 4500 m (14763.60 ft) and is
2 dB less than the standard power when a module is located at an altitude of
4500 m (14763.60 ft) to 6000 m (19684.80 ft).
NOTICE
If RF modules working in multiple frequency bands are used, pay attention to the
following: If a single channel is configured with multiple cells in different
frequency bands and the carrier output power of each cell in a frequency band is
less than the minimum configurable output power of the cell, the performance of
the cell in the frequency band cannot be ensured, and the performance of the
cells that work in other frequency bands and share the same channel as the cell is
also significantly affected. Therefore, such configuration needs to be avoided. (To
ensure cell performance, the minimum configurable output power of a cell varies
depending on the RAT. For details, see the output power configuration rules of
each RAT.)
For example, a single channel of an RF module is configured with one NR cell in
the 1800 MHz frequency band and one LTE cell in the 2100 MHz frequency band.
The carrier output power of the NR cell in the 1800 MHz frequency band is 1 mW,
which is less than the minimum configurable output power per channel for the NR
cell of the module. In this case, the performance of the NR cell cannot be ensured.
In addition, the performance of the LTE cell in the 2100 MHz frequency band on
the same channel deteriorates significantly even if its output power meets the
requirements.
GSM Output Power Configuration Rules

● The standard bandwidth per GSM carrier is 200 kHz.

(2022-06-30)
RRU5904w
● If the output power per GSM carrier on a single channel is required to be 60

W, the corresponding power license item must be purchased.
● Before using the GSM power sharing function, ensure that the license item
"LGMIDPS-Dynamic Power Sharing (per TRX)" has been purchased. To enable
the power sharing function, run the SET GCELLCHMGAD command with
QTRUPWRSHARE set to DYNAMIC and MultiGSMDynPWShareSW set to
ON.
● For the GBTS and eGBTS, the output power per carrier of the same RF module
is the same. However, the unit of the output power per carrier is W for the
GBTS and dBm for the eGBTS. Power P (unit: W) can be converted to x (unit:
dBm) by using the following formula: .
For example, when an RF module works in GSM mode, the output power per
carrier that can be configured for the GBTS is 60 W (GMSK). Then, the output
power per carrier that can be configured for the eGBTS is
, which is rounded
off to 47.8 dBm (GMSK).
● To ensure the performance of a GSM cell and other cells that share the same
channel as the cell, the minimum configurable carrier output power per
channel for the GSM cell is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF
module (unit: W) divided by 100. For example, the maximum output power of
an RF module is 2x80 W. When you configure a GSM cell, the minimum
configurable carrier output power per channel for the GSM cell is 0.8 W (80
W/100).
● The following table lists the available power configurations for each GSM
carrier.

UMTS Output Power Configuration Rules

● The standard bandwidth per UMTS carrier is 5 MHz.
● The maximum output power of a UMTS cell is 100 W. To ensure the
performance of the UMTS cell and other cells that share the same channel as
the cell, the minimum configurable carrier output power per channel for the
UMTS cell is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF module (unit: W)
divided by 100. For example, the maximum output power of an RF module is
2x80 W. When you configure a UMTS cell, the minimum configurable carrier
output power per channel for the UMTS cell is 0.8 W (80 W/100).

(2022-06-30)
RRU5904w
LTE FDD Output Power Configuration Rules

● When two LTE FDD carriers are configured, it is recommended that the power
spectral density (PSD) of the two carriers be set to the same value. PSD =
Carrier output power/Carrier bandwidth (1.4 MHz and 3 MHz bandwidths are
considered as 5 MHz bandwidth in this formula.)
● To ensure the performance of an LTE cell and other cells that share the same
channel for the LTE cell is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF
an RF module is 2x80 W. When you configure an LTE cell, the minimum
configurable carrier output power per channel for the LTE cell is 5 W (80 W/
16).
LTE NB-IoT Output Power Configuration Rules

● The formulas for calculating the minimum NB-IoT power per PA for an RF
module are as follows:
– Minimum NB-IoT power per PA for an RF module when NB-IoT cells work
in guardband or in-band mode = min(23 dBm, maximum output power
per PA for an RF module – 40 dB)
– Minimum NB-IoT power per PA for an RF module when NB-IoT cells work
in standalone mode = min(23 dBm, maximum output power per PA for
an RF module – 20 dB)
● In standalone mode, the bandwidth spacing between two NB-IoT carriers
must be less than or equal to 300 kHz.
● When the LTE bandwidth is 5 MHz, LTE NB-IoT cells cannot be deployed in
guardband mode.
● After the NB-IoT multi-carrier function is enabled, one NB-IoT multi-carrier
cell can be configured with multiple NB-IoT carriers.
– When an NB-IoT multi-carrier cell is configured in standalone mode, a
maximum of four NB-IoT carriers can be configured.
– When an NB-IoT multi-carrier cell is configured in in-band mode and the
LTE bandwidth is 5 MHz, a maximum of four NB-IoT carriers can be
configured. If the LTE bandwidth is 10/15/20 MHz, a maximum of eight
NB-IoT carriers can be configured for an NB-IoT multi-carrier cell.
– When a cell is configured with multiple NB-IoT carriers, the cell can have
only one anchor carrier but can have multiple non-anchor carriers.
NOTE
The NB-IoT multi-carrier function is an NB-IoT multi-carrier transmission

technology introduced based on 3GPP Release 13. A cell can have multiple
carriers and assigns UEs to multiple carriers to increase cell capacity. For details
about this function and related parameter settings, see NB-IoT Enhancements
(FDD) in the eRAN FDD Feature Documentation.
NR Output Power Configuration Rules

● To ensure the performance of an NR cell and other cells that share the same
channel for the NR cell is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF

(2022-06-30)
RRU5904w
an RF module is 2x80 W. When you configure an NR cell, the minimum

configurable carrier output power per channel for the NR cell is 5 W (80 W/
16).
● For a single 4T cell, it is recommended that the carriers configured on the four
channels have the same power. Unbalanced power configurations are also
supported. For details about unbalanced power configurations, see Cell
Management in 5G RAN Feature Documentation.
Multimode Output Power Configuration Rules

● GUL/GUN (FDD)/GULN (FDD) carriers cannot be configured on the same
channel simultaneously in a single frequency band.
● The output power per carrier must be balanced among multiple channels if
possible.
● To ensure the performance of a cell and other cells that share the same
channel as the cell, the minimum total configurable output power of all
carriers per channel is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF module
(unit: W) divided by 16. For example, if the maximum output power of an RF
module is 2x80 W, the minimum total output power of all carriers per each
channel is 5 W (80 W/16).
● Non-MSR and MSR
– Non-MSR: Carriers of different RATs cannot be configured on the same
RF channel. For example, a 2T RF module supports GU. If GSM carriers
are configured on PA1, then UMTS carriers cannot be configured on PA1.
That is, UMTS carriers can be configured only on PA2, and GSM carriers
cannot be configured on PA2.
– MSR: Carriers of different RATs can be configured on the same RF
channel. For example, a 2T RF module supports GU. Both GSM carriers
and UMTS carriers can be configured on PA1 or PA2 simultaneously.
● When one LTE FDD carrier and one NR FDD carrier are configured, it is
recommended that the power spectral density (PSD) of the two carriers be set
to the same value. PSD = Carrier output power/Carrier bandwidth (1.4 MHz
and 3 MHz bandwidths are considered as 5 MHz bandwidth in this formula.)
● The GU frequency spacing can be calculated using the following formula: GU
frequency spacing ≥ [(GSM bandwidth/2) + (UMTS bandwidth/2)].
