Antenna Cabling and Power Verification
5.3 Antenna Cabling and Power Verification
Use the procedures in this section to verify the output power and antenna cabling.
After the hardware installation is complete, forward and reverse power needs
verification.
5.3.1 Setting up Power Measurements
After performing the BTS commissioning as described in the previous section, use
the following procedure to check the performance of an on-line Micro BTS without
using a Racal test procedure.
Required Test Equipment
Thruline RF Watt Meter (by Bird Electronics) or equivalent
Appropriate power sensors for watt meter according to frequency and output
power of the BTS under test
Calibrated RF cable for connection between equipment and watt meter
100 Watt, 30 dBm attenuator, if required
Two mobile telephones
Required Network Configuration
To perform satisfactory RF performance tests, the Micro BTS must be connected
to an operational BSC/MSC and OMC to enable call processing, as the SS7 must
be enabled for the BTS to transmit. Make sure you commission the Micro BTS as
described in the previous section before performing this procedure.
This procedure is NOT a substitute for the Racal tests. Please
refer to the GSM Radio Test Procedures
to test the output power
of the BTS.
