The two RAUs required for a hop are presented in pairs in a frequency table.
Each frequency variant of an RAU covers a sub-band of the frequency band.
The modernized RAUs have a software configurable duplex distance (the
difference between transmitted and received frequency), while the older RAUs
have a fixed duplex distance.
The frequency tables show, for each RAU, the lowest/highest channel edge
frequency for the sub-band variant. The lowest/highest operating center
frequency can be derived from the tables by increasing/decreasing the channel
edge frequency by half the channel width. The operating center frequency is
set on site in steps of 0.25 MHz except for some sub-bands in 6L, 6U, 8 GHz
and 18 GHz that step with 0.025 MHz.
The Radio Units support 4xE1 up to 500 Mbps using C-QPSK, 4 QAM to
1024 QAM modulation in a range from 5 to 42 GHz. The letter X(u) in the end
of the product name (RAU2 X(u)) indicates agile radios. RAU2 Xu has the
default capability of C-QPSK and 4 QAM. RAU2 Xu can be upgraded to get
the functionality as an agile radio (RAU2 X-type) by adding an optional feature,
see Section 7.3 on page 121.
When ordering, change "CD" or "ACD" (for the modernized radios) in the
product number index to the appropriate number for the sub-band intended to
be used, see the table for each RAU below.
Note: When ordering a modernized RAU, also see the MINI-LINK Radio
Compatibility document.
When ordering any RAU Kit, make sure to always consider the following:
• Radio Cable, see Section 9.2.16.3 on page 218
• Connector Kit, see Section 9.2.15.1 on page 214
• Radio Cable Panel, see Section 10.2.1.7 on page 237
• Mounting Bracket, see Section 10.2.1.8 on page 238
