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)

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.

Block diagram of design MULTI
The main application in design MULTI is a transmission of more (up to four) independent data streams
over air. CFIP Phoenix C is configured into this mode by means of IDU management.
Packet Processor function can be simply explained in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Detailed block diagram of design MULTI
The Ethernet Switch is configured into mode where both WAN ports WAN A/B are connected to
Packet Processor. Ports SFP 1 and SFP 2 are connected directly to Packet Processor as well and are
transparent for Ethernet traffic (Flow Control function must be activated on connected Ethernet
equipment). Packet Processor uses Priority based process for independent streams transport over air.
BER stream is additionally added, when throughput capacity over modem is higher than allocated
throughput over Packet Processor. Additional AES encryption can be inserted in front of modem
processing.
Main Advantages
Up to four independent data streams over air.
Disadvantages
A bit lower throughput comparing to design SINGLE when just one traffic stream is configured at IDU.

Block diagram of design PROTECTED
The main application of design PROTECTED is a 1+1 system configuration when the protection (hitless
in specific conditions) is required.
Packet Processor function for Master Unit can be simply explained in Figure 7.
Figure 7: Detailed block diagram of design PROTECTED (MASTER mode)
The Ethernet Switch is configured into mode where both WAN ports WAN A/B are connected to
Packet Processor. WAN ports WAN A/B are grouped inside Ethernet switch with appropriate LAN ports
(LAN 2/1). Port SFP 2 is also connected to Packet Processor and is transparent for Ethernet traffic
(Flow Control function must be activated on connected Ethernet equipment) or for EMM module data
stream from connected external EMM. Port SFP 1 is reserved for second IDU (Master – Slave)
interconnection.
It is strictly recommended to use port LAN 3 as out-of-band management access port.
Packet Processor uses Priority based process for independent streams transport over air. BER stream is
additionally added, when throughput capacity over modem is higher than allocated capacity for user
ports over Packet Processor. Additional AES encryption can be inserted in front of modem processing.
Protection is solved by means of Modem Card.
Packet Processor function for Slave Unit can be simply explained in Figure 8.

Figure 8: Detailed block diagram of design PROTECTED (SLAVE mode)
The user data ports LAN 1/2, SFP 2 are deactivated (don't transmit data from IDU). Port SFP 1 is
reserved for first IDU (Master – Slave) interconnection.
It is strictly recommended to use port LAN 3 as out-of-band management access port.
Function of Packet Processor is limited to receiving direction only, but its function is not important for
system function, because complete data stream is copied from protection bus (SFP 1) directly into
digital modem. Packet Processor just adds management channels into Fiber Optic high speed stream.
Protection is solved by means of Modem Card.
Main Advantages
1+1 protection in all modes HSB, SD, FD also with interface redundancy.
Disadvantages
Two units must be used for protection mode.

Block diagram of design AGGREGATE
The main application in design AGGREGATE is a true 2+0 system configuration (capacity doubling)
when the ETH traffic aggregation is required.
Packet Processor function for Master Unit can be simply explained in Figure 9.
Figure 9: Detailed block diagram of design AGGREGATE (MASTER mode
The Ethernet Switch is configured into mode where both WAN ports WAN A/B are connected to
Packet Processor. WAN ports WAN A/B are grouped inside Ethernet switch with appropriate LAN ports
(LAN 2/1). Port SFP 2 is also connected to Packet Processor and is transparent for Ethernet traffic
(Flow Control function must be activated on connected Ethernet equipment) or for EMM module data
stream from connected external EMM. Port SFP 1 is reserved for second IDU (Master – Slave)
interconnection. Only Ethernet traffic connected to internal channel ETH 1 can be aggregated with
traffic of Slave Unit. This mode is still combined with transmission of more traffic channels over air.
It is strictly recommended to use port LAN 3 as out-of-band management access port.
Packet Processor uses Priority based process for independent streams transport over air. BER stream is
additionally added, when throughput capacity over modem is higher than allocated capacity for user
ports over Packet Processor. Additional AES encryption can be inserted in front of modem processing.
Aggregation is solved by means of Aggregation Block inside Packet Processor.
Packet Processor function for Slave Unit can be simply explained in Figure 10.

Figure 10: Detailed block diagram for design AGGREGATE- SLAVE
The Ethernet Switch is configured into mode where both WAN ports WAN A/B are connected to
Packet Processor. WAN ports WAN A/B are grouped inside Ethernet switch with appropriate LAN ports
(LAN 2/1). Port SFP 2 is also connected to Packet Processor and is transparent for Ethernet traffic
(Flow Control function must be activated on connected Ethernet equipment) or for EMM module data
stream from connected external EMM. Port SFP 1 is reserved for first IDU (Master – Slave)
interconnection. Traffic connected to internal port ETH 4 is an aggregate stream from Master Unit and
is transported with highest priority.
It is strictly recommended to use port LAN 3 as out-of-band management access port.
Packet Processor still uses Priority based process for independent streams transport over air. BER
stream is additionally added, when throughput capacity over modem is higher than allocated capacity
for user ports over Packet Processor. Additional AES encryption can be inserted in front of modem
processing.
Main Advantages
True 2+0 aggregation, two links with different speeds can be used for Ethernet traffic capacity
aggregation. This mode can be used as an alternative to protected mode, when one Ethernet channel
is used (no hitless).
Disadvantages
Two units must be used for aggregate mode.

IDU block scheme in terms of IP
The following Figure 11 depicts a simplified block diagram of the CFIP Phoenix C IDU in terms of IP
management.
Figure 11: Detailed block diagram of IP management scheme
The processor itself performs the function of an IP router. The individual IP frames routing is based on
standard routing rules, in this case on static routing.
Four IP ports enter the processor (MANAGEMENT CPU)
–ETH 0 – Ethernet port of CPU with its own MAC address and all the standard features of Ethernet
interface, Primary /Secondary addresses and appropriate subnet masks are assigned to this
interface.
–RFI 1 – ppp (point-to-point) type of interface which interconnects local CPU with the remote side
CPU accessible through the separate channel inside air-frame.
–HSI 1 – ppp (point-to-point) type of interface which interconnects local CPU with the protection
unit CPU or CFIP-EXT module accessible through the separate channel inside Fiber Optic-frame.
–USB 0 – USB port which is reserved for local IP access.
Each device supports the following basic IP settings
–The primary IP address, including the mask – in the basic configuration, this address is identical
to the ports ETH 0, RFI 1 and HSI 1 (ppp unnumbered mode), the mask indicates the range of
addresses connected directly to the ETH 0 interface.
–The address of the remote radio unit (rrfi1) – together with this address there is automatically
assigned a static route of the remote device connected via port RFI 1 (microwave connection).
–The address of protection unit (rhsi1) – together with this address there is automatically
assigned a static route of the protection unit connected via port HSI 1 (Fiber Optic Connection).
–Default gateway – the address from assigned subnet for routing the frames which have different
IP address than from the range of IP addresses included in the routing table.

Each device supports also the following advanced IP settings
–The secondary IP address, including the mask – the address is assigned to the port ETH 0, the
mask indicates the range of addresses connected directly to the ETH 0 interface. When no
conflict with address range 10.10.10.0/24 exists, there is not necessary to change this address.
–The USB IP address, including the mask – this address is assigned to the port USB 0, the mask
indicates the range of addresses connected directly to such interface. When no conflict with
address range 10.10.11.0/24 exists, there is not necessary to change this address.
–The RFI1 port IP address – it is possible to set specific IP address for internal ppp port and
change ppp mode from unnumbered to numbered one.
–The HSI1 port IP address – it is possible to set specific IP address for internal ppp port and
change ppp mode from unnumbered to numbered one.
–The File Transfer specification – this setting specifies file transfer destination. Local USB A port
can be selected (default) or FTP server by means of FTP IP specification can be used either for
firmware update from CLI or for log files storage.
–The Remote Time Server – this setting selects whether remote time server is used for time
synchronization. NTP or RDATE type can be selected for this function, appropriate IP address of
selected server must be entered.
–Static routes – the user can define additional static routes as well.
–NAT – possibility of the address translation according to the rules in the NAT table.
All above explained parameters have an influence on the type of management access either directly
on the managed unit or on the whole microwave network.
Outdoor Unit (ODU)
Outdoor microwave unit CFIP Phoenix C is available for full range of standard licensed frequency
bands and specific unlicensed bands. Microwave units for licensed frequency bands have the same
mechanical construction.
Microwave link CFIP Phoenix C of point-to-point type (in the basic configuration 1+0) consists of two
Outdoor radio Units (ODU). ODU performs the up-conversion from IF frequency from IDU (350 MHz)
to the desired transmission band, and vice versa, performs the down-conversion from received
frequency band to IF frequency (140 MHz) for the receiving part of the IDU. Power supply for ODU is
delivered through the coaxial cable (used for the connection between IDU - ODU) as well as the
software access to ODU, its management and configuration is possible only from the Indoor Unit. The
management of ODU is integrated directly in the command set of the Indoor Unit and it is an integral
part of the IDU software. For an easy primary setting of the optimal received signal level the ODU is
fitted with BNC connector where the measured DC voltage [mV] is directly proportional to the level of
Received Signal Strength (RSSI).

Figure 12: Block diagram of the Outdoor Unit
Outdoor unit is an integral part of the antenna system. ODU is mounted behind the parabolic antenna.
In dependence on requested application distances there are available antennas with diameters of 30,
60, 90, 99, 120, 180, 240 and 300 cm.
ODU for license frequency bands
Outdoor units in the version for the license frequency bands meet the international standards and
requirements for this type of equipment (especially ETSI EN 302 217). The modulation scheme is
adjustable from QPSK to 256 QAM, the output power is in the range between 0 to 30 dBm depending
on the selected frequency band and the type of modulation scheme. A maximum transmission date
rate is 365 Mbps in 1+0 mode.
For technical reasons, each frequency band is covered by more (three or four) pairs of microwave
units, where one pair is tunable in the low portion of the band (in low sub-band), the second/third
pair in the middle portion of the band (in middle sub-band) and the last pair in the high portion of the
band (in high sub-band). Each pair then consists of two radio units (ODU), where one unit transmits in
the upper part and the second unit in the bottom part of the given sub-band, the frequency
separation is then known as the duplex spacing (Tx/Rx).
In consequence of the statement above the ODU, that is tunable in lower part of the particular sub-
band of given frequency, can work only with ODU tunable in higher part of the same sub-band of the
same frequency.
There are only two connectors accessible on the ODU, N connector for connecting with the IDU via
coaxial cable and BNC connector for measurement of Received Signal Strength (RSSI). Next to the BNC
connector is located grounding screw.
