5 Calculate the VSWR per the equation shown to the right.
Where:
R
L(
dB) = P
A
(dBm) - P
S
(dBm)
P
A = Power reflected from antenna
P
S = Power reflected from short
A calculated value of -13.98 dB equates to VSWR of better than 1.5:1.

6 If the readings indicate a potential problem, verify the physical integrity of all cables (including any
in-line components, pads, etc.) and associated connections up to the antenna. If problem still persists,
consult antenna OEM documentation for additional performance verification tests or replacement
information.
7 Repeat steps 2 through 6 for all remaining TX sectors/antennas.
8 Repeat steps 2 through 6 for all remaining RX sectors/antennas.
