- fixing and connecting electrically one of said bush to said inner conductor of the coaxial cable;
- fixing and connecting electrically the other bush to said outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
Description
- The present invention relates to a method for supplying power supply over a coaxial cable.
- Methods for supplying power over a coaxial cable are usually used for supplying power up through a coaxial cable to power an antenna mounted preamplifier, the DC power source being located at the bottom of the antenna mast. In addition to power supply, the coaxial cable is used for transmitting the signal to be sent through the antenna.
- A specific Bias T arrangement is necessary for feeding simultaneously DC power and RF signal through the coaxial cable. A bias T is shown on
figure 1 . - The bias T shows 2 inputs +DC, RF signal and one output ANT. Input +DC is connected to one wire of the power supply cable, preferably the non ground wire. Input RF signal is a coaxial cable end connector adapted to be connected to a RF signal. Output ANT is also a coaxial cable end connector to which the coaxial cable leading to the antenna can be connected. The function of the Bias T consist in avoiding the DC power supplied to input +DC from looping back to input RF signal and reciprocally to avoid the RF signal from looping back to the DC power input. For this purpose, 2 inductors are connected between input +DC and output ANT which block the 900 1200 MHz RF signal while passing the DC power. Similarly a capacitor is connected between the RF signal input and the antenna output to block the DC power while passing the RF signal.
- The second DC power wire, as well as the outer conductors of all coaxial cable end connectors are put to the ground on the Bias T housing.
- This solution is advantageous since no extra wires are needed to be run toward the antennas for supplying power. One single coaxial cable combines the functionality of power supply and RF supply.
- Since recently remote radio radio heads where developed where the whole or at least part of the base station hardware needs to be installed close to the antenna making the transport of RF signal through a coaxial cable obsolete. The remote radio heads have to be connected to power supply and to an optical fibre for the digital data transmission which have to run up to the tower. The DC power to be supplied in this configuration has a voltage is in the range of 48 V and a current is in the range of 25 A. The required cable for the power supply may have wires with a cross section of 16 mm2 .
- The Bias T arrangements presented above have nevertheless the disadvantage not to be able to handle DC current of 25A and more. They are also not designed to connect a 2 wire shielded cable with wire cross sections of 16mm2 and more.
- It is a particular object of the present invention to provide a solution for supplying power over a coaxial cable mitigating the drawbacks mentioned above.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a corresponding connector for connecting a power supply cable to coaxial cable.
- These objects, and others that appear below, are achieved by a connector for connecting a 2 wire power supply cable to a coaxial cable according to claim 1, and amethod for supplying power over a coaxial cable according to claim 10.
- According to the present invention, the method consists in connecting the one wire of the power cable to the inner conductor of the coaxial cable and connecting the second wire of the power cable to the outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
- This invention presents the advantage that when existing base stations sites of traditional system approach shall be replaced by a remote radio head system, the already installed coaxial cables can be reused for the power supply. Consequently, coaxial cables are reused even if no RF signal is transported any more through the coaxial cable for supplying power to antennas and their associated remote radio heads. Additionally, the coaxial cable can be reused as protection tube of the optical fibre in case the coaxial cable has a hollow inner conductor.
- This invention further presents the advantage that a quite solid connection can be established between both wires of the power cable and both conductors of the coaxial cable so that moisture and dust sealing can be reached easily. This is especially required for DC power with a voltage about 48 V and a current about 25A. The connector presents good contact in term of contact area and contact pressure to the coaxial cable.
- Such connectors avoid the installation of additional power supply cables. At the same time the down time of a base station is reduced when installing the remote radio head system.
- Further advantageous features of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
