Figure 7 is a schematic showing the data flow in the RAN chassis, as represented by the PCS-A
band. As shown, data flows in two directions, from the Hub through the RAN to the antenna,
and from the antenna through the RAN back to the Hub. In each direction, data conversion
occurs, with optical data “upconverted” to RF data in the up direction in the schematic, and RF
data “downconverted” to optical data in the down direction. In an up direction, the RUC module
converts Digitized Intermediate Frequency (DIF) data into PCS, Cellular, and SMR frequency
RF bands. The RF signals are amplified and then transmitted from the RF antenna. In the down
direction, the RDC module converts PCS, Cellular, and SMR frequency bands into DIF data.
The overall series of events is managed by the CPU using an Ethernet connection to the chassis
backplane.
