Block SA (Section Adaptation): it realizes the adaptation of higher order paths in the Administrative Unit
(AU), it performs the octet-interconnection multiplexing and demultiplexing by generating, processing and
interpreting the AU pointer
Block RPS (Radio Protection Switching): its function consists in the protecting the Virtual Container through
a hitless switching system
Block MST (Multiplex Section Termination): it generates/terminates the overhead of a multiplexing section
(MSOH)
Block RST (Regenerator Section Termination): its function are quite similar to the ones performed by block
MST but relevant to a regeneration section and, consequently, to RSOH bytes only
– data regeneration
Block SEMF (Synchronous Equipment Management Function): it converts the alarms on performances
and specific data of the equipment hardware structure in "object oriented" messages, suitable to be
transmitted on DCC channels of Q interface.
Block MCF (Message Communication Function): it allows the TMN (Telecommunication Management
Network) messages to be carried and made to transit through the processes involved in the system
management, acting as interface between SEMF and DCC channels, F and Q interfaces.
Block OHA (Overhead Access): it allows the access to the bytes of the tributary channel and line (service
channel) Section Overhead.
Block MTS (Multiplex Timing Source): it is the timing element of SDH network. The
timing source can be extracted through one of the following reference points:
– T1: timing extracted from incoming STM-N signal
– T2: timing extracted from the incoming tributary channel
– T3: timing obtained from the external synchronization port through block MTPI as
well as from the inside oscillator.
OH interface, allowing the access to the transmit overhead, to Order Wire (speech
channel for service communications) and to the user service channel;
SYNC interface, allowing SDH equipment to derive its timing also from an external
source.
On transmission:
– tributary channel SOH termination and Pointer processing;
– sending of the resulting frame to the two modulators.
On Reception:
– protection of the radio hop through the Virtual Container hitless switching
– output SOH management (synchronous case).
This configuration is similar to the previous one, the absence of the functions
relevant to Multiplex Section termination excepted.
Termination of the Section Overheads of the radio channel managed directly by the Modulator
and Demodulator units;
Into the terminals with MST, the hitless protection switching is executed at VC-4 Virtual
Container level (into the terminals without MST the switching is at STM-1 level);
On the transmit side the Protection Switching splits every STM-1 signal into service channel and
stand-by channel. Before reaching the receive side, SOH bytes are removed both from service
channel and stand-by channel. The payload of the transmission is thus present on both signal
paths (main and stand-by), enabling the protection switching system to align signals and to
perform an errorless switching.
The RS Controller provides the necessary switching information, indicated as SCS (Switching
Control Signal), by means of a dedicated byte of RSOH, directly extracted/inserted from the
modemodulator and transmitted by two separate radio channels to ensure maximum protection
and reliability.
The receiver digital switches incorporated in the tributary cards and the alignment strategy
assure the completely error-free transition from the service to the stand-by channel.
– BER B2: (severity class 2) BER >10-3 (from the parity bits);
1 RS switching card reads on the alarm unit, by means of the RSC BUS, the cause (alarm) that
has created the signal;
2 It analyses the alarm and pre-setting status of the exercise and reserve channels;
3.1 If the reserve is free, it executes the protection procedure on the reserve;
3.2.1 If the reserve is protecting a channel with lower priority (for gravity of the switching
criteria and/or of the pre-settings active on the two beams):
3.2.2 If the reserve is protecting a channel with higher or equal priority, the channel can not
be protected.
– After the status changing of the channel that is seizing the reserve;
Modulation of the signal inputting from the tributary unit or from the
demodulator (in the repeater stations) and outputting a TCM modulated 70
MHz IF carrier.

The tributary cards interface the SRT 1C with the rest of the
Network.
The card can work as a Line SOH as well as Trib. SOH according
to the slot where the card is fitted into.
The Line SOH card has access to the line side synchronous
overhead, whereas the Trib. SOH card accesses the tributary side
synchronous overhead.
The line SOH card (called also WST, Way Side Traffic) can be programmed
to manage the drop/insertion, into the STM-1 SOH, of a 2048 kbit/s service
channel properly mapped in some SOH bytes, and then also a 64 kbit/s
service channel (F1 byte, user Channel). As alternative, it can be
programmed to manage up to 7×64 Kbit/s channels.

The receiver digital switches incorporated in the tributary cards and the
alignment strategy assure the completely error-free switch from the working to
the stand-by channel.
The automatic switching functionality, thanks to the very low switching time and
to the capability of automatic alignment of the hitless switch, is a powerful mean
to counteract selective fading and to provide high frequency diversity
improvement.

program, is coherent with the values reported in the test tag
9. Calculate the mean value of the two previously stored Test point 2C
values. The obtained value will be used after
The indication of the higher field is associated to the receiver with the
higher Test Point 2C indication.
EXAMPLE
If Test Point 2C Div = 140 (digit) and Test Point 2C Main =130 (digit), the Div
line is higher of about 4dB, in fact (140-130)/2.5 = 10/2.5 =4 dB (2.5 digit =
1dB).
Purpose
MAIN level
1. Connect to RUI program, Slope Equalization window
2. Squelch the Diversity path setting IF attenuation Div = 0 (max. attenuation)
3. Adjust the amplitude of Main path (acting on IF attenuation Main) so that the
Test Point 2C main = Test Point 2C mean previously calculated
4. Store the new value of IF attenuation Main.
DIVERSITY level
1. Connect to RUI program, Slope Equalization window
2. Squelch the Main path setting IF attenuation Main=0 (max. attenuation)
3. Adjust the amplitude of Diversity path (acting on IF attenuation Div) so that the
Test Point 2C Div = Test Point 2C mean, previously calculated.
4. Store the new value of IF attenuation Div and restore the value of IF attenuation
Main stored in the previous item 1.
Verification
• Set IF gain = Manual in the “Div. Equalization window”
• Set a suitable value of IF Gain MGC, so that the combined signal, in output
from the receiver, has a level of –5dBm measured by a power meter.
• While continuing to measure the combined signal, at receiver output, modify
the combiner phase step by step (Manual Phase Shift), until the maximum
power value is reached (phase point).
• Store the spectrum of the combined signal, which in that point will have the
maximum amplitude, on an analyzer.
• Increase the value of Manual Phase Shift of 180°
• Display the new spectrum and compare it with that previously stored . If the
difference between the two spectrums is about 25 dB, the equalization
procedure has been correctly executed.
Connect with the RUI user software and execute the following settings:
• Restore the configuration Manual IF gain = off
• Working mode = Diversity on
• Exit correctly from RUI program.
