x UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BTable of Contents(this page intentionally left blank)
PrefaceWelcome!Welcome to the UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide. This guide describes how to perform local installation and commissioning of the Micro BTS at the customer’s site.Assumptions, Purpose, and AudienceThis document is intended for an Alvarion trained field service engineer (FSE) or operator who performs local installation and commissioning at a customer site. The FSE or operator should be equipped with the necessary tools for installation and commissioning, and a basic understanding of the GSM cellular network. The FSE or Operator should also be familiar with the use of Craft PC and procedures conducted using the Craft PC.Alvarion assumes that pre-installation project planning has occurred, and is documented via a site survey report. This site survey should include items such as the location of antennas, chassis, power connections and other interface accesses and temperature control equipment. Microwave Radio Radiation WarningAlthough Alvarion products do not use microwave radio antennas, the equipment is often mounted in the vicinity of microwave radio antennas. Under normal operating conditions, microwave radio equipment complies with the limits for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All Alvarion microwave radio equipment is designed so that under normal working conditions, microwave radiation directly from the radio is negligible when compared with the permissible limit of continuous daily exposure recommended in the United States by ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1991 (R1997), Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.Microwave signal levels that give rise to hazardous radiation levels can exist within transmitter power amplifiers, associated RF multiplexers, and antenna systems.

UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 47Connecting E1 or T1 Trunk Cables2.6 Connecting E1 or T1 Trunk CablesExternal trunk cabling depends on the configuration that the customer ordered and the site-specific requirements. These cables will be supplied by the customer. Failure to use electrically compliant T1 or E1 cables may cause transmission errors. Please refer to the appropriate subsections to determine your cable requirements.The E1 or T1 trunk cables are routed directly to the E1 or T1 trunk card in the Micro subrack assembly. All three types of signaling (E1 75 Ohm, E1 120 Ohm and T1 100 Ohm) are terminated at the cabinet with RJ-48C port connectors.2.6.1 E1 CablesE1-75 OhmThis is coaxial cable with a nominal impedance of 75 Ohm +/-5% at 1 MHz. The maximum allowable cable distance depends directly on the insertion loss of the cable at 1 MHz. In this mode, the E1 trunk card can accommodate up to 6 dB of cable loss.E1-120 OhmThis cable is individually shielded twisted pair with a nominal impedance of 120 Ohm +/-5% at 1 MHz. The maximum allowable cable distance depends directly on the insertion loss of the cable at 1 MHz. In this mode, the E1 trunk card can accommodate up to 9 dB of cable loss.Table 2-10 provides a description of cables required for installation and connection to an E1 network, but not supplied with the Micro BTS.Before connecting E1 lines to the Micro BTS, it is assumed that the quality of the lines has been verified. It is recommended that Bit Error Ratio (BER) tests are completed to ensure that the BER is less than 10-8.
48 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BChapter 2 - InstallationConversion CablesIf you are connecting into an existing E1 network with standard BNC or DSUB connectors, a conversion cable for either the 75 Ohm or 120 Ohm will be required. To purchase these cables from Alvarion, contact your local sales support representative.Figure 2-18 illustrates the pinout for an RJ-48C to 75 Ohm BNC conversion cable.Table 2-10: Customer-Supplied E1 Cabling Cable Identity Cable Type Corresponding Cable PlugE1, 120 Ohm Shielded, Twisted, 2-Pair RJ-48C MaleE1, 75 Ohm Coaxial RJ-48C MaleAntenna (external) Coaxial N-Type, FemaleNote: The number of cables required depends on the ordered configuration of the Micro BTS.Figure 2-18: 75 Ohm BNC Conversion CableIW0093028ORANGE/WHITEBLUE/WHITEWHITE/ORANGEWHITE/BLUE (R-TIP)(R-RING)(T-TIP)(T-RING)1235674J2J3J1J2J3RECEIVETRANSMITPin 1Pin 8J1

The maximum allowable cable distance depends directly on the insertion loss of the cable at 772 kHz. The T1 card can accommodate up to 9 dB of cable loss. When using 22 AWG ABAM cable, 9 dB of loss is approximately 2000 feet. When using Belden type 9729 (with a cable loss of 6 dB per 1000 feet at 772 kHz) the maximum cable distance is approximately 1500 feet.Table 2-11 provides a description of cables required for installation and connection to a T1 network, but not supplied with the Micro BTS.Figure 2-19: 120 Ohm Conversion CableBefore connecting T1 lines to the Micro BTS, it is assumed that the quality of the lines has been verified.

The external cabling between your equipment will vary depending on the configuration of the cable management assembly of each chassis. This could consist of any combination of BNC, DSUB or RJ-48C connectors and either E1 or T1 signaling.Table 2-11: Customer-Supplied T1 CablingCable Identity Cable Type Corresponding Cable PlugT1, 100 Ohm Shielded, Twisted, 2-Pair RJ-48C, MaleNote: The number of cables required depends on the ordered configuration of the Micro BTS.The direct cabling between systems requires crossover cables (Tx to Rx, and Rx to Tx), instead of the straight-through cabling used when connecting systems through a radio or telephone provider network.
UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 51Connecting E1 or T1 Trunk CablesUsing Cross-Over RJ-48C CablesWhen connecting a shielded twisted pair crossover cable between two UltraWAVE or WAVEXpress systems, the routing of the pins needs to comply with the cable mapping shown in Figure 2-20. The RJ-48C cable connector may be of the conventional plastic body type with the shield and drain wires of the cable connected to a pigtail to pin 8 (Signal Ground), which is internally grounded to the card. However, a shielded cable plug may also be used, terminating the cable shield to an integral metal shell of the RJ-48 jack which then makes an electrical connection to the front panel when installed.

Your antenna cable should terminate with a 90° N-type female connector or an N-type female to male elbow adapter may be used for a more convenient connection to the cabinet. Insertion loss for the elbow type of connector is typically between 0.1 and 0.2 dBm.The antenna cabling for the Micro BTS can be configured in several ways depending on a number of factors including the number of TRXs, number of antennas and use of diversity. Your site specific configuration was determined during the network planning stage of implementation.In the subsequent sections, each RF configuration is detailed from the RF module connector to the internal RF connector. Figure 2-21 illustrates the relationship between the three connectors. The RF modules are connected to the internal RF connectors at the factory and are pre-configured for your Micro BTS configuration.You will attach an elbow connector and your antenna cable to the external RF connector associated with the internal RF connector shown in the appropriate figure.

Referring to OET Bulletin 65, RF radiation limits for the 300 - 1500 MHz range are f / 300 mW/cm2 for occupational exposure, and f / 1500 mW/cm2 for general population exposure (where f is frequency in MHz). At the 869 MHz cellular band these limits are 2.90 mW/cm2 for occupational exposure, and 0.58 mW/cm2 for general population exposure.The UltraWAVE base station may consist of up to six separate transceivers, with each of the transmitters operating at a maximum output power of +47 dBm Table 2-17: Three Sector Six TRX (S222) Configuration FrequenciesConfiguration Available Frequencies15 W (42 dBm) 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz25 W (44 dBm) 850 MHz, 900 MHz40 W (46 dBm) 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz50 W (47 dBm) 850 MHz, 900 MHzFigure 2-26: Antenna Cabling for S222 ConfigurationANTDIVANTMAINANTDIVANTMAINRF modulesInternal RF connectorExternal RF connectorAntenna 1DiversityAntenna connection1 2 3 4 50Antenna 1MainAntenna 2MainAntenna 2DiversityANTDIVANTMAINAntenna 3MainAntenna 3DiversityIW130611ABC
UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 59Connecting Antennas(50 W). The UltraWAVE base station transmitters operate in the U.S. cellular band of 869 to 894 MHz.As the UltraWAVE is intended to be operated in cellular service, each of its transmitters is typically connected to a 65 - 120 degree sector antenna or omni directional antenna. For the purpose of the MPE calculations, it will be assumed that the UltraWAVE is fully equipped with six transceivers, and that two different transmitters are used in each 120 degree sector. For the MPE calculations this would be the worst case radiation levels as the equivalent RF power of +50 dBm (100 Watt) would be transmitted into a 120 degree sector.The typical gain of 65 - 120 degree sector antenna is in the range of +6 to +18 dBi. However, there is the highest ERP limitation on the Part22 requirement which is 500 Watt (57 dBd). The duty cycle of the transmitter is 100%. Assuming two transmitters are operating into the same 120 degree sector, a maximum of +47 dBm of RF energy would be transmitted into two antennas, with total EIRP=61 dBi would be the worst case. RF power density can be calculated with the equation: S = P * G / 4p R2, where S = power density in mW/cm, P = power input to the antenna in mW, G = power gain of the antenna, and R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna in cm. By rearranging this equation, the relationship between distance (R) and Power Density (S) can be found.Rearranging R = sqrt (PG/4pS), and solving for the maximum limits of 2.90 mW/cm2, and 0.58 mW/cm2 we have: R(2.90 mW/cm2) = sqrt (1,260,000 mW/4p*2.90) = 186 cm, or 73 inches.R(0.58 mW/cm2) = sqrt (1,260,000 mW/4p*0.58) = 416 cm, or 164 inches.These results show that the general population RF exposure limits are not exceeded as long as the general population is kept 164 inches from the feed point of the antenna.The propagation characteristics at 870 MHz dictate a line-of-sight type of RF path. As such, typical installation locations are up on rooftops or masts to get above ground level path obstructions. When the UltraWAVE antennas are installed in this manner, the general population will be further than 164 inches from the antenna, and RF exposure limits will be met.1,260,000 mW is used to account for two 50,000 mW transmitters operating into each 120 degree sector.
60 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BChapter 2 - Installation2.8 Connecting External AlarmsThe OMC supports many alarms from the Micro BTS. The external alarms are reflected at the OMC operator station, and may be used for site alarms, such as open door, temperature and battery back-up alarms. These customer defined alarms are sampled every two minutes by default and will report an alarm when sent by the Micro BTS alarm controller.Using the details provided in these sections, make your connections for external alarm inputs.The OMC operator can set the alarm text as described in the UltraVIEW OMC Setup and System Administration Guide.Identifying the Terminal BlockThe alarms are processed on the alarm interface module located on the rear of the Micro subrack assembly. The alarm interface module has connections for incoming signals from external alarms and the power supplies and an outgoing connection to the ICP processor card through a USB type cable. The interfaces are shown in Figure 2-27.If you are replacing an existing system which has external alarms connected directly to the processor card, you may connect your existing RJ-45 alarm cable directly into the ICP processor card alarm connector. Optionally, you can re-route your existing alarms to the UltraWAVE alarm terminal block or add additional external alarms.

If this configuration is used, each Micro BTS must be installed separately, and must have off-line commissioning procedures independently performed. Once each Micro BTS is installed and commissioned, the Micro BTSs can be daisy chained together.If the power fails to one of the units or one of the units in a daisy chain is rebooted, communication with the downstream units will not be lost.
108 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BChapter 4 - Off-Line Commissioning of a Daisy Chain4.1 Prerequisites to Daisy Chaining1Ensure that all Micro BTSs comprising the daisy chain are installed and off-line commissioned.Refer to Chapter 2 - Installation and Chapter 3 - Off-Line Commissioning for instructions on how to install and off-line commission the Micro BTSs that are part of the daisy chain. 2Ensure that the Abis Manager timeslot has been set for each Micro BTS in the daisy chain as described in Section 4.2. Each Abis link within this daisy chain MUST be allocated a unique Abis timeslot number.3Turn the power to all units off.4Using the instructions in Section 2.6.3, verify that all E1 and/or T1 lines are in place and commissioned by the operator from the BSC to the first Micro BTS, and between all successive Micro BTSs comprising the daisy chain.
UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 109Setting the Abis LAPD Signaling Timeslot4.2 Setting the Abis LAPD Signaling TimeslotThis procedure sets the Abis LAPD timeslot between the MSC and each Micro BTS. If the Abis timeslot is not set, it automatically defaults to 16.This procedure is optional for a star configured Micro BTS, but is required for all BTSs which will be used in a daisy chain. In this case, each Micro BTS must have its Abis timeslot set to a unique number in the chain. This information will be used by the OMC operator to configure the daisy chain. 1Ensure that the Craft PC is connected to the Micro BTS over a serial line, and that a serial connection is established. Refer to Chapter 3 - Off-Line Commissioning for instructions on how to do this.2In an Xterm window, type:bts-> getFlashE1Chan [ENTER]This displays the timeslot reserved for the Abis LAPD signalling timeslot, which is by default set to 16. To change this value, type:bts-> setFlashE1Chan <number> [ENTER]where <number> is the Abis LAPD signaling timeslot assigned to an unassigned T1 channel between 1 and 24 or to an unassigned E1 channel between 1 and 31.This procedure must be performed after the Micro BTS is tested using a Racal test set. Refer to the GSM Field Maintenance Guide for further instructions.The Abis signaling timeslot for each Micro BTS in the daisy chain must be set to a different number. For example:• Micro BTS 1 in the chain = Set timeslot 16 as the Abis timeslot• Micro BTS 2 in the chain = Set timeslot 17 as the Abis timeslot• Micro BTS 3 in the chain = Set timeslot 18 as the Abis timeslot• Micro BTS 4 in the chain = Set timeslot 19 as the Abis timeslotMake sure that this information is communicated to the OMC operator.

Refer to the procedures described in the UltraVIEW OMC Configuration Guide.The RF frequencies are cleared to transmit.The MSC-Micro BTS E1 or T1 link is properly certified. Note that the certifica-tion should state length of testing and BER results.The HLR subscriber data has been entered into the HLR using the Subscriber Management GUI, as described in the GSM Subscriber Management Guide. In particular, the HLR must be configured to support the SIM cards of the mobiles used by the field technician.Once the E1 or T1 link has been properly connected to the Micro BTS E1 or T1 trunk card, both port alarm LEDs for the connected port should turn off. If one or both LEDs remain illuminated, an E1 or T1 link problem exists related to either a faulty connector or the E1 or T1 link itself. Refer to the GSM Field Maintenance Guide for additional information.It is the operator's responsibility to verify that all Micro BTS E1 or T1 Abis links are ordered, installed and certified by the local telephone provider. Certification should include a bit error ratio/rate test of at least 20 minutes on the Abis interface, with a BER of 10-8 or better.
114 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BChapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning5.2 On-Line CommissioningThe network commissioning procedures must be performed at the OMC and at the Micro BTS. This requires two persons working from two different documentation sets:A field technician who remains on-site. They must have a filled out copy of Checklist 2 - Installation Checklist and a copy of this manual.An OMC operator who remains at the OMC. They must have a copy of the UltraVIEW OMC Configuration Guide.The flow chart shown in Figure 5-1 provides a high-level view of the procedures. The procedures in the following sections provide detailed, numbered steps.

116 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BChapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning5.2.1 Unlocking the Abis InterfaceThe Abis interface between the BSC and BTS is established via a PPP link over E1 or T1 lines. Make the E1 or T1 connections to the provider and set up the Abis signaling link to the OMC as described in Chapter 4 - Off-Line Commissioning of a Daisy Chain. Once the Abis link is established it must be unlocked at the OMC to allow the BSC to download the TRX code to the BTS. Refer to the UltraVIEW OMC Configuration Guide for procedures to unlock the Abis. As the code downloads, the TRXs run POST to verify their operation. This takes up to fifteen minutes depending the number of TRXs in the system.Figure 5-2 illustrates the LED display during the POST process and Figure 5-3 illustrates the final LED display. For systems equipped with multiple TRXs, the TRXs download their code and run POST simultaneously. If viewing the output in a serial window, the POST messages will be mixed among different TRXs while in progress.Figure 5-2: LED Display During POSTFigure 5-3: Final LED DisplayAbis connection to BSC completes TRX code download to eachcard sequentially.

UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 117On-Line Commissioning5.2.2 Commissioning the Micro BTSBefore disconnecting the E1 or T1 cables, the field technician must make sure that the cable is labeled in a way that clearly identifies its origin (a particular E1 or T1 port on the Micro BTS, or a particular port of an E1 or T1 panel, etc.) and destination (a particular E1 or T1 slot and port on the Micro BTS).Provide the OMC operator with all part, revision and serial numbers for the Micro BTS cards and modules. This information was gathered during the physical installation and is available in Checklist 2 - Installation Checklist.5.2.3 Recovery TestsYou should have the OMC operator lock the E1 or T1 ports and verify that the port status changes to Locked, Enabled, Online. Then perform the following steps:1At the Micro BTS, disconnect the physical OAM link cable. Monitor the LED sequence of the Micro BTS as described in Chapter 3 - Off-Line Commissioning.2Coordinate with the OMC operator to ensure the proper alarms have appeared on the OMC. Reconnect the physical OAM link cable to the Micro BTS E1 or T1 trunk card. 3Monitor the LED sequence of the Micro BTS as described in Chapter 3 - Off-Line Commissioning.4Test external alarms. See Section 5.2.4.

UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 119On-Line Commissioning5.2.5 TCH Timeslot TestsIn this test, the OMC operator unlocks individual TCH timeslots and the field technician places a mobile-to-mobile call over each timeslot using a mobile handset in debug mode. Refer to the documentation provided by the module handset manufacturer for the proper procedures. For each timeslot, the commissioner should verify that:The timeslot displayed on the handset corresponds to the timeslot unlocked by the OMC operator.A two-way call is completed successfully.The call has good audio quality and power, and low interference.The number of timeslots to be tested differs depending on whether you have one, two or three TRXs. Table 5-1 provides the sequence for one TRX. Table 5-2 provides the sequence for two or more TRXs.Table 5-1: Timeslots Needing Testing in a One-TRX BTS TRX Number Timeslot Number Channel Type Testing NecessaryFirst TRX 0 BCCH Combined No1TCHYes2TCHYes3TCHYes4TCHYes5TCHYes6TCHYes7TCHYesNote: To run an abbreviated version of this test, test any one of timeslots 0-3 and of timeslots 4-7 on each TRX.

UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 121Antenna Cabling and Power Verification5.3 Antenna Cabling and Power VerificationUse 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 MeasurementsAfter 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 telephonesRequired Network ConfigurationTo 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.
122 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BChapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning5.3.2 Verifying TRX Output PowerStarting with the first TRX, this procedure must be completed for each TRX in the Micro BTS. The OMC operator will need to know what TRX is under test to enable the BCCH on that specific TRX and lock all other TRXs.Use the following procedure:1At the OMC, make sure that the Micro BTS is in a locked state. Refer to the UltraVIEW OMC Configuration Guide.At the Micro BTS, check the TRX ONLINE LEDs are OFF. Do not disconnect the RF connectors if the TRX is ONLINE!2Determine the appropriate power sensor for your test. Power sensors are specific for frequency (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz or 1900 MHz) and power range. For the forward power measurement, you should be using a 100 Watt, 50 Watt or 25 Watt power sensor depending on the output power of equipment that you are testing. The sensor rating must have a higher Watt rating than the RF power output than you are testing, or an inline attenuator must be used to bring the output power down to the range acceptable to your power sensor.For the reflected power measurement, you should be using a 10 Watt or 5 Watt power sensor.3Disconnect the appropriate antenna cable from the equipment. This cable will correspond to the TRX which you are testing. See Section 2.7 for additional RF cabling information.You must be an experienced RF field technician to perform these procedures. Do not disconnect RF coaxial connectors on the equipment or antenna systems while the radio equipment is operating. Never place any body part over, or look into any RF connector while the radio equipment is transmitting.
UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 123Antenna Cabling and Power Verification4Connect the antenna cable from the TRX port that you are testing to the “out” port of the RF watt meter. See Figure 5-4.5Connect the RF cable between the Micro BTS RF output port (antenna connector) and the RF watt meter, as shown in Figure 5-4. This is the recom-mended method of testing forward and reflected power. Typical test cable loss is listed in Table 5-3.Figure 5-4: Direct RF ConnectionTable 5-3: Typical Test Cable LossCable Type Description Loss (900 MHz) Loss (1800 MHz)LMR195 or RG142Outer diameter: 0.2 inch Length: four feet0.7 dB; add 0.1 dB per foot if longer than four feet1.0 dB; add 0.17 dB per foot if longer than four feetRG214 or RG8 Outer diameter: 0.4 inch Length: four feet 0.5 dB 0.7 dBLMR400 Outer diameter: 0.4 inch Length: four feet 0.4 dB 0.5 dB0.5 inch Heliax JumperHard corrugated copper outer conductor; Outer diameter: 0.6 inch; Length: six feet0.3 dB 0.4 dBNote: It is strongly recommended NOT to use RG-58/U cable as a test cable because of its poor RF performance.RF Watt MeterEquipmentAntennaConnector IW136501RF cable RF cable to AntennaPower Sensor
124 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BChapter 5 - On-Line CommissioningIf you do not have a high power sensor, you need to reduce the output power for the forward power measurement. Connect the appropriate attenuator (50 Watt or more, 10-20 dB) inline between the Micro BTS RF output port and the “in” port of the RF watt meter, as shown in Figure 5-5. You must figure the power loss of both cables and the attenuator in this scenario. You cannot measure the reflected power using this test setup. You must use the setup without the attenuator, as shown in Figure 5-4, making sure the power sensor direction arrow points toward the Micro BTS.6Work with the OMC operator to ensure that the OMC is configured so that the BCCH is on the TRX you are testing.7To measure forward (output) power, the arrow on the power sensor should point toward the antenna, as shown in Figure 5-4.8At the OMC, change the TRX state to unlocked. The operator should be sure that the output power for the TRX under test is set to “Static Power Control Level 0” (full power). Note the ONLINE LED for the TRX under test turns green at the Micro BTS site.9In the serial session at the Micro BTS site, enter the following commands to display the power control status for each TRX.bts-> log_nonebts-> isr_debug_calb=1Figure 5-5: Attenuated Power ConnectionThe procedure for BCCH configuration can be found in the Network Configuration section of the UltraVIEW OMC Configuration Guide.RF Power MeterEquipmentAntennaConnector IW041304RF cableAttenuatorRF cable RF cable to Antenna
UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 125Antenna Cabling and Power Verification10 Record the output power of the TRX on the power meter. This will be displayed in either Watts or dBm. Your final reading should account for losses at the cables and connectors, and if used the loss through the attenuator. Table 5-4 provides the allowable readings given a Thruline Watt Meter and the cable losses referenced in Step 5.11 To test the reflected power, remove the power sensor from the watt meter, and put the 10 Watt or 5 Watt sensor into the meter with the arrow pointing toward the equipment. It is not necessary to disconnect the meter or turn off the Micro BTS power. You only need to exchange the power sensor and point it in the direction of the Micro BTS. If the measured reflected power is equal or less than 4% of the forward power measured in the previous step, the installation is acceptable. If the measurement is more than 4%, contact the responsible party for the antenna and feeder installation. Section 5.3.3 provides more detail about the Voltage Standing Wave Radio.12 Complete these steps for each TRX in the Micro BTS.If a TRX falls out of the above guideline margins, it is still within the operable tolerance based on the GSM standard or 11.21 test requirement as long as the power does not go beyond 25% of the maximum value or 20% less than the minimum value.For example, if the cable loss is 0.4 dB, the nominal power is 25 Watts and the measured power is 16 Watts. It is out of the range of Table 5-4, but still operable because it is above the 14.4 Watts which is the absolute minimum to operate a Micro BTS according to the GSM standard. If a TRX falls below this range, contact Customer Service.Table 5-4: Allowable Power Meter Reading Range (Watts)Nominal Output PowerReading Range 0.3 dB Cable Loss 0.4 dB Cable Loss 0.5 dB Cable Loss 0.7 dB Cable Loss 1.0 dB Cable Loss15 Watt Maximum181717 1615Minimum111111 10925 Watt Maximum292928 2725Minimum191818 171640 Watt Maximum474645 4340Minimum302928 272550 Watt Maximum595756 5450Minimum373635 3432
126 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version BChapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning5.3.3 Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) CheckThe antenna and feeder cable VSWR measurement should be performed before the Micro BTS installation and commissioning by the team responsible for the antenna installation using a VSWR meter. The required VSWR is 1.5 or less. It is very important to confirm the antenna and feeder installation to ensure the Micro BTS transmits its signal power to the air effectively.The purpose of this check is to ensure the integrity of the antenna and the antenna connection under the actual full power condition by determining whether the reflected power reading is lower than the required value. The reflected power is derived from the antenna and feeder VSWR. Table 5-5 shows the direct relationship between VSWR and reflected power.The recommended test approach is to use an in-line, forward/reflected power meter (for example, Thruline Watt Meter by Bird Electronics or the NAS model by Rohde and Scorers) inserted between the Micro BTS chassis and the antenna cable. This approach validates that the antenna and cable are good. It also verifies that the transmit power from the chassis is within tolerance limits. Record the reflected power which should be less than 4% of the output power as measured in Step 10.If the measured reflected power is more than 4% of the forward power, it indicates power installation of the antenna or a bad feeder cable. Contact the responsible party for the antenna and feeder cable installation to have the problem fixed.Table 5-5: VSWR and Reflected PowerVSWR Reflected Power (% of the Output Power)1.2 0.8%1.3 1.7%1.4 2.8%1.5 4.0%1.6 5.3%1.7 6.7%2.0 11.1%3.0 25.0%4.0 36.0%
UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 127Antenna Cabling and Power Verification5.3.4 RX Signal Quality MeasurementsThe objectives of this test are to verify the performance of the Receive path of the Micro BTS and the operation of the RX module in the TRX. Before these tests can take place, the Micro BTS must be returned to its original “on air” working state with call processing possible.1From an Xterm window on the OMC, telnet to the Micro BTS to be tested, or alternatively connect directly to the Micro BTS with the Craft PC.The field technician can also open a serial session directly with the Micro BTS, and proceed to Step 4.2From the iwbox prompt find the IP address of the Micro BTS by typing:HD:iwbox-> ifShow “ppp” [ENTER]A list of PPP connections will then be displayed. Look for the IP address of the Micro BTS you will be testing.
