Chapter 2 – Technical Description
Introduction
Digital microwave system CFIP Phoenix C is designed in split mount version, the IDU - ODU
architecture. There is only one universal IDU hardware version available with bandwidth up to 60 MHz
and applicable maximal output power. The indoor unit (CFIP Phoenix C IDU) is universal with respect
to ETSI and ANSI bandwidth standards and universal for all frequency bands, and its configuration
then depends on the loaded software license key. The outdoor units are unique for each frequency
band and sub-band.
System description
Signal received by parabolic antenna is carried via a waveguide adapter to the receiving filter in
outdoor unit. The task of outdoor unit (ODU) is to convert the frequency of received/transmitted
signal to/from IF. The resulting converted signal is together with management channel carried via the
coaxial cable to the CFIP Phoenix C indoor unit (IDU). The signal is demodulated inside the IDU,
followed by recovery of user data and management data intended for communication with ODU. As a
source of user data can be used a signal for/from the Gigabit Ethernet ports or EMM modules
connected over SFP module. Data for the transmission are processed similarly in the reverse order
than the received signal.
The CFIP Phoenix C system is technically characterized by the following basic features.
–Standard licensed ETSI and ANSI frequency bands
–Modulation schemes:
- QPSK, 8 PSK, 16/32/64/128/256 QAM
–Channel bandwidth
- ETSI standards 7/14/27.5/28/40 and 56 MHz
- ANSI standards 10/20/25/30/40/50 and 60 MHz
–LDPC based Forward Error Correction
–Hitless Adaptive modulation (ACM)
–Four basic design modes (SW setting / License Key)
- SINGLE – one data stream over air
- MULTI – up to four independent data streams over air
- AGGREGATE – 2+0 configuration with true capacity doubling
- PROTECTED – 1+0 configuration in HSB/SD/FD modification
–Two functional options (SW setting / License Key)
- AES128, AES256 – AES encryption for high system security
- PTP1588 – option which ensure IEEE1588 support
–Integrated traffic ports
- 3x Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000Base-T) for user data traffic and/or
management access
- 2x SFP slots for additional GIGE port extension, EMM module connection or IDU
interconnection (protection, aggregation)
–Integrated management ports
- USB-B – for separate IP management access
- USB-A – configuration restoration and backup by means of USB Flash memory
–SyncE support in each design mode
–Integrated data verification system of received corrupted packets (CRC)
–Integrated BER tester and measurement of the nature of received signal (MSE, modulation

diagram of received data)
–ATPC function support (Automatic Transmit Power Control)
–Integrated spectral analyser for the detection of the free channel, or alternatively for
detection of interference with the particular band
–Unified standard management IP access – TELNET, HTTP, SNMP v.2c
–Secure management IP access - SSH, HTTPS, SNMP v.3
Indoor Unit (IDU)
The basic function of the CFIP Phoenix C Indoor Unit is the data multiplexing and at the same time it is
the digital modem of the whole system. Both of these functions are easily configurable by software.
The core of the unit is DSP module that generates a signal for the intermediate frequency output to
outdoor unit and processes intermediate frequency input from the outdoor unit.
The indoor unit is fitted with three 1000Base-T (RJ45) user ports, where one port can be reserved
either for an individual management connection or as a standard user port. Two SFP slots are
intended either for additional Gigabit Ethernet connection or for IDU interconnection (1+1/2+0) or for
port extension by means of EMM module.
There is the USB-B port available in IDU for the independent management connection, second USB
port (USB-A) is reserved for flash memory stick (configuration backup, logs,..).
Management system is based on IP protocol. Outdoor unit management is integrated directly into the
command set of the indoor unit and is an integral part of this unit's software. For the management
itself there is used, either character-oriented IP access (TELNET, SSH) or web based GUI (HTTP, HTTPs)
or SNMP based system management.
The IDU unit should be connected to power supply with a nominal voltage of -48 VDC and GND must
be connected to the positive pole.

Block diagram of the CFIP Phoenix C Indoor Unit
The function of the Indoor unit is evident from the block diagram in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Block diagram of the Indoor Unit
CFIP Phoenix C IDU consists of two main boards. Interface Card performs the function of data
interface, packet processor and management unit. Modem Card performs the function of digital
modem (DSP) and analogue modem (analog front end with mixers and filters).
Data are first processed by integrated Six Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, where two WAN ports of this
switch are connected into universal Packet Processor (PBPS – Priority Based Packet System). SFP
interfaces are also directly connected into universal Packet Processor. Function of Packet Processor
depends on selected design and it is described in the section which explains such particular designs.
Digital modem then adds synchronization marks, FEC to the data stream and creates a digitally
modulated signal, which is led to the block of analog signal processing. All these parts are
interconnected inside the device over high-speed bus and are operated from the central processor
unit CPU. This block (CPU) is also accessible via management interfaces and allows the user to perform
all the settings both locally and remotely trough the IP interface in the CFIP Phoenix C IDU.
The function of Packet Processor is specific in dependence on selected design. Generally, Packet
Processor uses priority scheme which ensures that data at the internal port ETH 4 are processed with
the highest priority whereas data at the internal port ETH 1 with the lowest priority.

Block diagram of design SINGLE
The main application in design SINGLE is a transmission of a single data stream over air. CFIP Phoenix C
IDU is configured into this mode by means of IDU management.
Packet Processor function can be simply explained in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Detailed block diagram of design SINGLE
The Ethernet Switch is configured into mode, where WAN port WAN A is connected to Packet
Processor and second WAN port WAN B is connected to port SFP 2. Port SFP 1 is without any function
in this mode. Packet Processor uses basic Ethernet stream encapsulation in combination with a BER
stream, which is transferred in time when Ethernet frames are not available.
Main Advantages
Highest data throughput, because Ethernet traffic is coded by basic encapsulation process with the
lowest data overhead.
Disadvantages
Packet Processor doesn't generate own priority packets, therefore any data stream errors are detected
only by means of Ethernet Frame's CRC inside Ethernet Switch. There is not possible to use some
options like AES along with this design due to the missing priority packet layer.
