3 Overview
3.1 RRAS Overview
3.1.1 About the RRAS
The Technetix AIMA3000 RRAS series Analogue Return Receiver - Standard is designed for multi-services operators to
increase network-return capacities for the ever-growing demand for bandwidth, while minimising physical headend space
and power usage.
With the optional embedded Full Band Capture (FBC) module, it enables the operator to capture and monitor the return
path spectrum helping the operator to quickly find and locate the upstream noise and the related upstream signal levels.
Advanced spectrum analysing software is available as in a standalone version or as module within Technetix NMSE
Software suite. It also can be easily integrated into operators exist network management system.
Next to above mentioned online management and controlling capabilities the can also be conveniently monitored and
controlled through a computer directly connected to one of the Ethernet ports of the ASMM module.
All module settings are retained in non-volatile memory to ensure trouble-free operation. Bulk updating, automatic
uploading and downloading of configuration files is possible using Technetix NMSE web-based management system.

3.3 RRAR Overview
3.3.1 About the RRAR
The Technetix AIMA3000 RRAR series Analogue Return Receiver - Redundant (RRAR) are designed for multi-services
operators to increase network-return capacities for the ever-growing demand for data and voice bandwidth, while
minimizing physical headend space and power requirements.
The RRAR, is designed to plug into Technetix latest generation Advanced Intelligent Multi- Service Headend Platform
(AIMA3000). The RRAR incorporates four independent optical return-path receivers that can operate at any wavelength
between 1260~1620 nm. This density allows up to 64 independent receivers in only 4 RU of space. The user can set
each receiver individually for operation in either manual gain control (MGC) mode or automatic gain control (AGC) mode
based on optical input power. The unit has a low-noise profile and high performance amplifiers to ensure a good signal-
to-noise ratio as well as low distortion characteristics. The RRAR is compatible with Technetix existing optical nodes
including the ODN1P, ODN2P, ODN4P, and ODN2000. With high RF outputs, the RRAR can be adapted to work with
various headend configurations.
The RRAR can also be conveniently monitored and controlled through a computer connected to one of the Ethernet ports
via the ASMM module.
All module settings are retained in non-volatile memory to ensure trouble-free operation. Bulk updating, automatic
uploading and downloading of configuration files is possible using Technetix NMSE web-based management system.

4 Functional Overview
4.1 Automatic Gain Control
The micro-controller monitors the optical input power and controls the gain. Alarms are activated if the levels are outside
the normal working range.
In AGC mode, the output gain automatically adjusts according to the optical input signal level (within a range of ± 5 dBm) to
ensure RF output stability.
4.2 Manual Gain Control
The user can select the MGC mode when the input power is relatively stable or the user has special requirements based
o the input signal. The user can regulate the gain to accommodate a wide range of input signals and ensure an ideal
output index.
4.3 Output Level Control Chart for RRAS
The output signal level depends on the transmitter configuration, transmitter laser, the received optical RF input signal
level, the receiving device configuration and the link loss.
With the Technetix optical transmitter, when the optical input signal has an OMI of 6% and the module output gain is 42 dB,
the corresponding relationship between the optical input signal power and the output level is shown in the diagram below.
