1 Content Summary Publication Composition This publication covers the following areas. S Introduction: preliminary background information (such as component and subassembly locations and frame layouts) to be considered by the Cellular Field Engineer (CFE) before optimization or tests are performed.
Purpose of Optimization 1 Why Optimize? Proper optimization and calibration ensures that: S Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site. S Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site. What Is Optimization? Optimization compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal equipment variations.
1 When to Optimize New Installations The following operations and optimization/test actions should be accomplished for a new BTS or frame installation: 1. After the initial site installation, the BTS must be prepared for operation. This preparation includes verifying hardware installation, initial power–up, downloading of operating code, verifying GPS operation, and verifying transmit and receive paths. 2. Next, the optimization is performed.
Test Equipment Selection, Calibration, and General Operation Requirememnts 1 Policy General Requirements – To ensure consistent, reliable, and repeatable optimization test results, test equipment and software meeting the following technical criteria should be used to optimize the BTS equipment. Test equipment substitution – Test equipment can, of course, be substituted with other test equipment models but those models must meet the same technical specifications.
1 Required Test Equipment and Software Overview Test equipment and software described in this section is required for the optimization and acceptance testing procedures. Common tools such as screwdrivers and frame keys are also needed.

In a converted multicarrier frame, PA slot 4 in all PA quadrants should never be populated.
BTS Equipment Identification – continued 1 Six–sector BTS – Six–sector operation is only supported in OEM multicarrier frames. For a six–sector BTS, up to two carriers can be supported with a minmum of two PA sets: six PA modules for a 3x3 system and eight PA modules for a 4x4 system. If additional power is required, two additional PA sets can be added for the maximum available capacity. (Refer to Figure 1-22).
