Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mobile radio station which is equipped with adapters for connecting a multi-core cable to a coaxial cable.
  • the invention further relates to a method for equipping the mobile station with the adapters.
  • RRH Remote Radio Head
  • the outdoor and weatherproof installation of power supply, transmitting and receiving module, power amplifier and filter is called at the antennas.
  • the communication with the base station is usually via a fiber optic connection.
  • RRH mobile radio systems with remote high-frequency transmitters is so far more expensive compared to conventionally constructed mobile radio systems, because a power supply line and a data line must be installed. The cost-effectiveness has only been given with larger cable lengths. However, an RRH mobile radio system has significant cost advantages over a conventionally constructed mobile radio system during operation.
  • cables are known in which several types of conductors are combined to reduce installation costs or when particular difficulties have to be overcome.
  • the hybrid cable is intended for use in high-frequency shielded rooms and combines electrically shielded DC cables with floating optical fibers in a cable.
  • a cable is known in which a power supply line, a data line and a control relief to a single cable are combined with a common protective jacket.
  • the cables known from the prior art are not suitable for facilitating the conversion of existing mobile radio stations to the modern RRH technology.
  • the terms mobile station and mobile station are used synonymously.
  • the method according to the invention has the advantage that it enables the cost-effective conversion of existing mobile radio systems to modern RRH technology.
  • the invention proposes a mobile station, which is designed according to the RRH technology.
  • the mobile radio station according to the invention is equipped with an arrangement with at least two adapters for connecting a multi-core cable to a coaxial cable.
  • the adapters are connected to one another via the coaxial cable.
  • the coaxial cable is a supply cable of the mobile radio station.
  • the mobile radio station according to the invention has the advantage that it can be inexpensively constructed on the basis of an existing mobile radio station using conventional technology.
  • a conventionally constructed mobile radio antenna system is shown. This does not necessarily require all outlined components to be used.
  • On a mast 101 a number of transmitting and receiving antennas are mounted.
  • the transmitting antenna 102 is connected via a so-called jumper cable 104a to a feeder cable 105a (feeder cable) for the radio-frequency signal to be radiated.
  • Feeder Cable 105a Is typically a 7/8 "(2.2 cm), 11 ⁇ 4" (3.18 cm), 1 5/8 "(4.13 cm), or 21 ⁇ 4" coaxial cable (FIG. 72 cm), which has a hollow inner conductor made of copper.
  • the connection between the feeder cable 105a and the jumper cable 104a is made with a 7/16 "or N-type connector 106a, connected to the lower end of the feeder cable 105a is another jumper cable 104b, by means of which a connection to a base station 107 is made the jumper cable 104b and the feeder cable 105a
  • a 7/16 "connector 106b is disposed between the base station 107 and the jumper cable 104b is an overvoltage protector 108 with a ⁇ / 4 short which protects the antenna system from overvoltages.
  • the signal connection between the base station 107 and the receiving antenna 103 is constructed in quite the same manner as between the transmitting antenna 102 and the base station 107, so that the base station 107 represents the data source of the mobile station.
  • a jumper cable 104c leads from the receiving antenna 103 to an antenna preamplifier 109.
  • the antenna preamplifier 109 is connected to a power cable 105b by a connector 106c.
  • the feeder cable 105b is connected at its lower end to the base station 107 with a jumper cable 104d.
  • a surge arrester 110 with gas discharge arrester is arranged between the base station 107 and the jumper cable 104d.
  • a 7116 "or an N-type connector is arranged between the jumper cable 104d and the feeder cable 105b.
  • the high-frequency transmitter in the base station 107 is thus connected in conventional mobile radio systems only via a coaxial cable 105a or 105b with an associated antenna.
  • Mobile radio systems according to the modern RRH technology require a larger number of connections between the base station and the antenna, as will be explained below.
  • a mobile station according to the modern RRH technology is shown, which is housed in a high building 201.
  • a mast 203 On a roof 202 of the building 201 is a mast 203, on which a plurality of antennas 204 are installed.
  • a high-frequency transmitter 205 is arranged on the mast 203.
  • Radio frequency transmitter 205 is also referred to as Remote Radio Head (RRH) 205.
  • RRH Remote Radio Head
  • a power supply 206 of the system is arranged in the lower area of the building 201.
  • a so-called base station 207 In addition to the power supply 206 is as a data source, a so-called base station 207 with housed a radio server.
  • the base station 207 is signal connected to the RRH 205 via a data line 208 for the purpose of data exchange.
  • data line 208 is an optical data cable for transmission of optical data.
  • a power line 209 continues to lead to the RRH 205.
  • the power line 209 is typically a 48 volt power supply.
  • a fuse box 210 is disposed between the power supply 206 and the RRH 205.
  • the mobile radio system can also be installed in a tower or on a high mast.
  • Fig. 3A schematically shows an adapter 301 according to the invention, which is designed as a plug.
  • the adapter 301 has a plug housing 302 made of metal, which carries a cap nut 303.
  • a first core 304 of a two-wire line 305 is connected to the connector housing 302 .
  • a second wire 306 is connected to a central contact pin 307.
  • the contact pin 307 and the second wire 306 are electrically insulated in the housing 302.
  • the adapter 301 corresponds in its dimensions to a 7/16 "or N-type connector and allows connection to a 7/16" coaxial connector. In this way, the adapter 301 allows the connection of the two-wire cable 305 to a coaxial cable.
  • the dimensions 7116 are chosen in the context of the present invention only as an example for other dimensions, because coaxial sockets or plugs in mobile radio systems usually have this diameter., Of course, the invention is not limited to this diameter.
  • Fig. 3B schematically shows an adapter 311 according to the invention, which is designed as a socket.
  • the adapter 311 has a housing 312 made of metal, which is provided with an external thread 313.
  • a first core 314 of a two-wire line 315 is connected to the housing 312.
  • a second wire 316 is connected to a centrally located contact socket 317.
  • the Contact socket 317 and the second wire 306 are electrically insulated in the housing 312.
  • Fig. 4 shows an arrangement with two adapters 301, which are mounted on an already existing feed cable 105 in a Mobiffunkstrom.
  • the feeder cable 105 is provided at its ends with a connection socket 401, respectively.
  • the connection region of the connection socket 401 is constructed with a housing 402 and a middle contact socket 403 completely corresponding to the connection region of the socket 311.
  • an adapter 301 designed as a plug is inserted and fastened by tightening the union nuts 303 on an external thread of the connection socket 401.
  • the two-wire cables 305 are connected on one side to the power supply 206 and on the other side to the RRH 205. Between the two two-wire cables 305 extends the feed cable 105. This means that the 48V power supply inside the mobile station is fed through the no longer used as a high-frequency cable feed cable 105, wherein the two wires of the two-wire cable with an inner conductor 403 and an outer conductor 404 of the feeder cable 105 are connected.
  • the metal surfaces exposed on the adapters 301 can be insulated with a shrink tubing or self-fusing bitumen tape.
  • the adapter 311 is used. The basic operation is the same in both embodiments.
