FCC Part 15 compliance
3 FCC Part 15 compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference, in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manuals, might cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user´s authority to operate the
equipment.

RF Performance
Nokia AirScale Radio Description
4 RF Performance
The topic describes the radios RF sensitivity and TX output power tolerance.
RF sensitivity
Nokia AirScale radios have superior field proven RX sensitivity which correlates as top
uplink performance without any compromises to the uplink coverage. Accuracy was
maintained during the Uplink performance tests by following 3GPP standard 36.104 and
using real commercial radio hardware units. The receiver sensitivity results of up to
-106.6 dBm have been measured using commercial radio hardware under realistic
circumstances, ultimately this produces accurate mean -106.3 dBm.
TX output power tolerance
Nokia AirScale radios power amplifier design brings benefits to the wider operating and
instantaneous bandwidth radio units. This design produces a competitive output power
tolerance which is less than +/-0.8dB. The benefit produces robust power amplifier
design is the high maximum downlink throughput levels in real operating environments.

WARNING! The module is heavy. Risk of personal injury!
Do not remove or relocate factory installed stopping screws from mounting brackets or
AMPA.
WARNING! Lift only one module at a time!
Use the designated lifting point only. Do not pre-assemble and lift multiple units on
AMPA.
WARNING! Install only three modules per side in vertical book mount!
Mount the secondary center module bracket to the pole bracket with four M8 screws.
Only one module is allowed on each side of the center bracket.

NOTICE: To ensure proper cooling for an RRH mounted in the vertical position, it
should always be mounted with the connectors on the bottom side. For horizontal
mounting, fans are required.
Note: The minimum startup voltage is 40.5 V DC. If the input voltage is below/beyond
extended limits, the unit might shut down.

WARNING! The module is heavy. Risk of personal injury!
Do not remove or relocate factory installed stopping screws from mounting brackets or
AMPA.
WARNING! Lift only one module at a time!
Use the designated lifting point only. Do not pre-assemble and lift multiple units on
AMPA.
WARNING! Install only three modules per side in vertical book mount!
Mount the secondary center module bracket to the pole bracket with four M8 screws.
Only one module is allowed on each side of the center bracket.
NOTICE: To ensure proper cooling for an RRH mounted in the vertical position, it
should always be mounted with the connectors on the bottom side. For horizontal
mounting, fans are required.
Note: The minimum startup voltage is 40.5 V DC. If the input voltage is below/beyond
extended limits, the unit might shut down.

Avoiding Passive Intermodulation during RF Module
and RRH operation
Nokia AirScale Radio Description
9 Avoiding Passive Intermodulation during RF
Module and RRH operation
In wideband frequencies when several transmitting and receiving signals are sharing
same hardware there could be noted effect called Passive Intermodulation (PIM)
Interference. Using RF Modules might cause a potential risk of generating third-order
intermodulation that results in distortions in own receiver (RX) channel. Antenna Line
Devices (ALD) have important role in preventing Passive Intermodulation generation,
even if used RF Module and RRH performance at the antenna connector complies with
3GPP requirements. Poor PIM performance of ALD might degrade significantly the
reference sensitivity. ALDs, like MHAs, provided by Nokia have high PIM requirements.
The risk might be high in the following cases:
•
•
•
maximum bandwidth (BW) used for the carriers is more than 0.5 x duplex separation
of the band
carriers in configuration are wideband in nature (for example WCDMA or LTE), or
combination of wideband and narrow band carriers (for example RF sharing GSMWCDMA or GSM-LTE).
antenna line PIM performance is poor, or not on the required level for the
configuration.
Table 31
Typical reference sensitivity degradation with different Antenna line PIM
performance.
PIM

Typical
degradation
Note
-140 dBc @ 2x43
dBm
~10 dB
High degradation, carrier configuration unusable in many
cases
-153 dBc @ 2x43
dBm
~2 dB
Modest degradation, tolerable in many cases
-161 dBc @ 2x43
dBm
~0.2 dB
Minimal degradation, however, difficult to reach on the
typical site environment.
When using wideband carrier configurations where PIM products fall into own receiver
band, it is recommended that antenna line PIM performance is at least -153 dBc
measured with 2 x 43dB test signals.
However, this kind of performance might be very difficult to achieve and maintain over
time in outdoor environment due to mechanisms behind the PIM including corrosion,
oxidation, material imperfections, and defects in workmanship. Some of these
parameters might change, and can degrade performance during operation. Taking that
into consideration, it is highly recommended not to use carrier configurations which are
generating intermodulation results in landing in own receiver channels.
