RF subsystem
The signal up/down frequency conversion, amplification and
filtering as well as the combining & dividing of small signals.
The processing of the intermediate frequency analog signal
s between the baseband subsystem and the RF subsystem.
The processing of the RF signals between the antenna and
feeder subsystem and the RF subsystem.
Confidential
Control subsystem

for other subsystems and modules
Confidential
Antenna and feeder subsystem
The antenna and feeder subsystem comprises the
antenna, the feeder, the lightning conductor, the tower
top amplifier, etc. It completes the input and output of
the NodeB signals, transmits the radio frequency
signals via the air/radio interface. The uplink is 1920 ~
1980 MHz and the downlink is 2110 ~ 2170 MHz.
