Detailed System Description – Single-Band Cards
Node AM RF cards convert the RF into digital signals and transfer them to the Node AM
rack for digital filtering. The digital architecture allows sub-band filtering and is shared
between all RF Cards inserted into the Node AM rack. The Node AM4 can provide up to
48 filter resources (up to 5 MHz each). Additional filtering capability is provided by on-
card digital signal processing at dual-band RF cards to satisfy increasing demand of sub-
bands for further RF-bands or MIMO deployments. When the sub-band bandwidths are
greater than 5 MHz, the filter resources are grouped together, without phase or amplitude
ripple, where the sub-band is defined by a start and stop frequency. The total number of
used filter resources is determined by adding the number of filter resources required for
each sub-band.
For example, if there are three sub-bands with 4 MHz for the first sub-band, 11 MHz for
the second sub-band, and 20 MHz for the third sub-band, then 1 filter resource is required
for the first sub-band, 3 filter resources are required for the second sub-band and 4 filter
resources are required for the third sub-band. The total number of used filter resources
in this example is 8. However, the maximum available bandwidth (240 MHz) will only be
achieved with sub-band bandwidths of integer multiple of 5 MHz.
