Using CDMA LMFDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20013-18Basic LMF OperationThe CDMA LMF allows the user to work in the two following operatingenvironments, which are accessed using the specified desktop icon:SGraphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF iconSCommand Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CLI iconThe GUI is the primary optimization and acceptance testing operatingenvironment. The CLI environment provides additional capability to theuser to perform manually controlled acceptance tests and audit theresults of optimization and calibration actions.Basic operation of the LMF GUI includes the following:SSelecting and deselecting BTS devicesSEnabling devicesSDisabling devicesSResetting devicesSObtaining device statusSSorting a status report windowFor detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide, 68P64114A78.Graphical User InterfaceOverviewThe LMF uses a GUI, which works in the following way:SSelect the device or devices.SSelect the action to apply to the selected device(s).SWhile action is in progress, a status report window displays the actiontaking place and other status information.SThe status report window indicates when the the action is completeand displays other pertinent information.SClicking the OK button closes the status report window.3
Using CDMA LMF – continuedDRAFTMar 2001 3-19SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATPCommand Line InterfaceOverviewThe LMF also provides Command Line Interface (CLI) capability.Activate the CLI by clicking on a shortcut icon on the desktop. The CLIcan not be launched from the GUI, only from the desktop icon.Both the GUI and the CLI use a program known as the handler. Only onehandler can be running at one time Due to architectural limitations, theGUI must be started before the CLI if you want the GUI and CLI to usethe same handler. When the CLI is launched after the GUI, the CLIautomatically finds and uses an in–progress login session with a BTSinitiated under the GUI. This allows the use of the GUI and the CLI inthe same BTS login session. If a CLI handler is already running whenthe GUI is launched (this happens if the CLI window is already runningwhen the user starts the GUI, or if another copy of the GUI is alreadyrunning when the user starts the GUI), a dialog window displays thefollowing warning message:The CLI handler is already running.This may cause conflicts with the LMF.Are you sure that you want to start the application?This window also contains yes and no buttons. Selecting yes starts theapplication. Selecting no terminates the application.CLI Format ConventionsThe CLI command can be broken down in the following way:SverbSdevice including device identifier parametersSswitchSoption parameters consisting of:–keywords–equals signs (=) between the keywords and the parameter values–parameter valuesSpaces are required between the verb, device, switch, and optionparameters. A hyphen is required between the device and its identifiers.Following is an example of a CLI command.measure bbx–<bts_id>–<bbx_id> rssi channel=6 sector=5Refer to LMF CLI Commands, R15.x 68P09251A59 for a completeexplanation of the CLI commands and their use.3

Download the BTSDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20013-26Download the BTS – OverviewBefore a BTS can operate, each equipped device must contain deviceinitialization (ROM) code. ROM code is loaded in all devices duringmanufacture or factory repair. Device application (RAM) code and datamust be downloaded to each equipped device by the user before the BTScan be made fully functional for the site where it is installed.ROM CodeDownloading ROM code to BTS devices from the LMF is NOT routinemaintenance nor a normal part of the optimization process. It is onlydone in unusual situations where the resident ROM code in the devicedoes not match the release level of the site operating software AND theCBSC cannot communicate with the BTS to perform the download. Ifyou must download ROM code, refer to Appendix H.Before ROM code can be downloaded from the LMF, the correct ROMcode file for each device to be loaded must exist on the LMF computer.ROM code must be manually selected for download.RAM CodeBefore RAM code can be downloaded from the CDMA LMF, the correctRAM code file for each device must exist on the LMF computer. RAMcode can be automatically or manually selected depending on the Devicemenu item chosen and where the RAM code file for the device is storedin the CDMA LMF file structure. The RAM code file is selectedautomatically if the file is in the \lmf\cdma\loads\n.n.n.n\code folder(where n.n.n.n is the version number of the download code). The RAMcode file in the code folder must have the correct hardware bin number.RAM code can be downloaded to a device that is in any state. After thedownload is started, the device being downloaded changes to OOS-ROM(blue). When the download is completed successfully, the devicechanges to OOS-RAM (yellow). When code is downloaded to an MGLI,the LMF automatically also downloads data, and then enables the MGLI.When enabled, the MGLI changes to INS (green).For non–MGLI devices, data must be downloaded after RAM code isdownloaded.

Enable CSMsEach BTS CSM system features two CSM boards per site. In a typicaloperation, the primary CSM locks its Digital Phase Locked Loop(DPLL) circuits to GPS signals. These signals are generated by either anon–board GPS module (RF–GPS) or a remote GPS receiver (R–GPS).The CSM2 card is required when using the R–GPS. The GPS receiver(mounted on CSM–1) is the primary timing reference and synchronizesthe entire cellular system. CSM–2 provides redundancy but does nothave a GPS receiver.The BTS may be equipped with a remote GPS, LORAN–C LFR, orHSO 10 MHz Rubidium source, which the CSM can use as a secondarytiming reference. In all cases, the CSM monitors and determines whatreference to use at a given time.–CSMs are code loaded at the factory. This data isretained in EEPROM. The download code procedureis required in the event it becomes necessary to codeload CSMs with updated software versions.

If Waiting For Phase Lock is shown inthe Description field, the CSM changes to the enabled state after phase lock is achieved. CSM–1houses the GPS receiver. The enable sequence can take up to one hour to complete.* IMPORTANTThe GPS satellite system satellites are not in a geosynchronous orbit and are maintained andoperated by the United States Department of Defense (D.O.D.). The D.O.D. periodically alterssatellite orbits; therefore, satellite trajectories are subject to change. A GPS receiver that is INScontains an “almanac” that is updated periodically to take these changes into account.If an installed GPS receiver has not been updated for a number of weeks, it may take up to onehour for the GPS receiver “almanac” to be updated.Once updated, the GPS receiver must track at least four satellites and obtain (hold) a 3-D positionfix for a minimum of 45 seconds before the CSM will come in-service. (In some cases, the GPSreceiver needs to track only one satellite, depending on accuracy mode set during the data load.)3NOTEIf equipped with two CSMs, the LMF should display CSM-1 as bright GREEN (INS–ACT) andCSM–2 as dark green (INS–STB). After the CSMs have been successfully enabled, thePWR/ALM LEDs are steady green (alternating green/red indicates the card is in an alarm state).If more than an hour has passed, refer to Table 3-19 and Table 3-20 to determine the cause.3

CSM System Time/GPS and LFR/HSO VerificationMar 2001 3-33SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTCSM & LFR BackgroundThe primary function of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM)boards (slots 1 and 2) is to maintain CDMA system time. The CSM inslot 1 is the primary timing source while slot 2 provides redundancy. TheCSM2 card (CSM second generation) is required when using the remoteGPS receiver (R–GPS). R–GPS uses a GPS receiver in the antenna headthat has a digital output to the CSM2 card. CSM2 can have a daughtercard as a local GPS receiver to support an RF–GPS signal.The CSM2 switches between the primary and redundant units (slots 1and 2) upon failure or command. CDMA Clock DistributionCards (CCDs) buffer and distribute even–second reference and 19.6608MHz clocks. CCD–1 is married to CSM–1 and CCD–2 is married toCSM 2. A failure on CSM–1 or CCD–1 cause the system to switch toredundant CSM–2 and CCD–2.In a typical operation, the primary CSM locks its Digital Phase LockedLoop (DPLL) circuits to GPS signals. These signals are generated byeither an on–board GPS module (RF–GPS) or a remote GPS receiver(R–GPS). The CSM2 card is required when using the R–GPS. DPLLcircuits employed by the CSM provide switching between the primaryand redundant unit upon request. Synchronization between the primaryand redundant CSM cards, as well as the LFR or HSO back–up source,provides excellent reliability and performance.Each CSM board features an ovenized, crystal oscillator that provides19.6608 MHz clock, even second tick reference, and 3 MHz sinewavereference, referenced to the selected synchronization source (GPS,LORAN–C Frequency Receiver (LFR), or High Stability Oscillator(HSO), T1 Span, or external reference oscillator sources). The 3 MHzsignals are also routed to the RDM EXP 1A & 1B connectors on the topinterconnect panel for distribution to co–located frames at the site.Fault management has the capability of switching between the GPSsynchronization source and the LFR/HSO backup source in the event ofa GPS receiver failure on CSM–1. During normal operation, the CSM–1board selects GPS as the primary source (see Table 3-19). The sourceselection can also be overridden via the LMF or by the system software.All boards are mounted in the C–CCP shelf at the top of the BTS frame.Figure 3-9 on page 3-36 illustrates the location of the boards in the BTSframe. The diagram also shows the CSM front panel.3
CSM System Time/GPS and LFR/HSO Verification – continuedDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20013-34Low Frequency Receiver/High Stability OscillatorThe CSM handles the overall configuration and status monitoringfunctions of the LFR/HSO. In the event of GPS failure, the LFR/HSO iscapable of maintaining synchronization initially established by the GPSreference signal.The LFR requires an active external antenna to receive LORAN RFsignals. Timing pulses are derived from this signal, which issynchronized to Universal Time Coordinates (UTC) and GPS time. TheLFR can maintain system time indefinitely after initial GPS lock.The HSO is a high stability 10 MHz oscillator with the necessaryinterface to the CSMs. The HSO is typically installed in thosegeographical areas not covered by the LORAN–C system. Since theHSO is a free–standing oscillator, system time can only be maintainedfor 24 hours after 24 hours of GPS lock.Upgrades and Expansions: LFR2/HSO2/HSOXLFR2/HSO2 (second generation cards) both export a timing signal to theexpansion or logical BTS frames. The associated expansion or logicalframes require an HSO–expansion (HSOX) whether the starter frame hasan LFR2 or an HSO2. The HSOX accepts input from the starter frameand interfaces with the CSM cards in the expansion frame. LFR andLFR2 use the same source code in source selection (see Table 3-18).HSO, HSO2, and HSOX use the same source code in source selection(see Table 3-18).Allow the base site and test equipment to warm up for60 minutes after any interruption in oscillator power. CSMboard warm-up allows the oscillator oven temperature andoscillator frequency to stabilize prior to test. Testequipment warm-up allows the Rubidium standardtimebase to stabilize in frequency before any measurementsare made.NOTEFront Panel LEDsThe status of the LEDs on the CSM boards are as follows:SSteady Green – Master CSM locked to GPS or LFR (INS).SRapidly Flashing Green – Standby CSM locked to GPS or LFR(STBY).SFlashing Green/Rapidly Flashing Red – CSM OOS–RAM attemptingto lock on GPS signal.SRapidly Flashing Green and Red – Alarm condition exists.

Test Set CalibrationDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20013-54Test Set CalibrationBackgroundProper test equipment calibration ensures that the test equipment andassociated test cables do not introduce measurement errors, and thatmeasurements are correct.If the test set being used to interface with the BTS has beencalibrated and maintained as a set, this procedure does notneed to be performed. (Test Set includes LMF terminal,communications test set, additional test equipment,associated test cables, and adapters.)NOTEThis procedure must be performed prior to beginning the optimization.Verify all test equipment (including all associated test cables andadapters actually used to interface all test equipment and the BTS) hasbeen calibrated and maintained as a set.If any piece of test equipment, test cable, or RF adapter,that makes up the calibrated test equipment set, has beenreplaced, re-calibration must be performed. Failure to do socan introduce measurement errors, resulting in incorrectmeasurements and degradation to system performance.CAUTIONCalibration of the communications test set (or equivalenttest equipment) must be performed at the site beforecalibrating the overall test set. Calibrate the test equipmentafter it has been allowed to warm–up and stabilize for aminimum of 60 minutes.IMPORTANT*Purpose of Test SetCalibrationThese procedures access the LMF automated calibration routine used todetermine the path losses of the supported communications analyzer,power meter, associated test cables, and (if used) antenna switch thatmake up the overall calibrated test set. After calibration, the gain/lossoffset values are stored in a test measurement offset file on the LMF.3

A CDMA analyzer is used tomeasure the loss of each cable configuration (TX cable configuration andRX cable configuration). The cable calibration consists of the following:SMeasuring the loss of a short cable – This is required to compensatefor any measurement error of the analyzer. The short cable (used onlyfor the calibration process) is used in series with both the TX and RXcable configuration when measuring. The measured loss of the shortcable is deducted from the measured loss of the TX and RX cableconfiguration to determine the actual loss of the TX and RX cableconfigurations. The result is then adjusted out of both the TX and RXmeasurements to compensate for the measured loss.SThe short cable plus the RX cable configuration loss is measured –The RX cable configuration normally consists only of a coax cablewith type-N connectors that is long enough to reach from the BTS RXport of the test equipment. . . . continued on next page3

Bay Level Offset CalibrationDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20013-64Introduction to Bay LevelOffset CalibrationCalibration compensates for normal equipment variations within theBTS and assures maximum measurement accuracy.RF Path Bay Level OffsetCalibrationCalibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path (BBXslot) at the BTS site and stores that value in a BLO database calibrationtable in the LMF. The BLOs are subsequently downloaded to each BBX.For starter frames, each receive path starts at a BTS RX antenna port andterminates at a backplane BBX slot. Each transmit path starts at a BBXbackplane slot, travels through the LPA, and terminates at a BTS TXantenna port.For expansion frames each receive path starts at the BTS RX port of thecell site starter frame, travels through the frame-to-frame expansioncable, and terminates at a backplane BBX slot of the expansion frame.The transmit path starts at a BBX backplane slot of the expansion frame,travels though the LPA, and terminates at a BTS TX antenna port of thesame expansion frame.Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path (BBXslot) at the BTS site and stores that value in a BLO database. Eachtransmit path starts at a C–CCP shelf backplane BBX slot, travelsthrough the LPA, and ends at a BTS TX antenna port. When the TX pathcalibration is performed, the RX path BLO is automatically set to thedefault value.At omni sites, BBX slots 1 and 13 (redundant) are tested. At sector sites,BBX slots 1 through 12, and 13 (redundant) are tested. Only those slots(sectors) actually equipped in the current CDF are tested, regardless ofphysical BBX board installation in the slot.When to Calibrate BLOs Calibration of BLOs is required:SAfter initial BTS installationSOnce each yearSAfter replacing any of the following components or associatedinterconnecting RF cabling:–BBX board–C–CCP shelf–CIO card–CIO to LPA backplane RF cable–LPA backplane–LPA . . . continued on next page3

The proper functionof each RF path is verified during calibration. The external testequipment is used to validate/calibrate the TX paths of the BTS.Before installing any test equipment directly to any TXOUT connector you must first verify that there are noCDMA channels keyed. Have the OMC–R place the sectorassigned to the LPA under test OOS. Failure to do so canresult in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.WARNINGAlways wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strapwhile handling any circuit card/module. If this is not done,there is a high probability that the card/module could bedamaged by ESD.CAUTIONAt new site installations, to facilitate the complete test ofeach CCP shelf (if the shelf is not already fully populatedwith BBX boards), move BBX boards from shelvescurrently not under test and install them into the emptyBBX slots of the shelf currently being tested to insure thatall BBX TX paths are tested.–This procedure can be bypassed on operational sitesthat are due for periodic optimization.–Prior to testing, view the CDF file to verify thecorrect BBX slots are equipped. Edit the file asrequired to include BBX slots not currently equipped(per Systems Engineering documentation).IMPORTANT*3
Bay Level Offset Calibration – continuedDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20013-66BLO Calibration Data FileDuring the calibration process, the LMF creates a bts–n.cal calibration(BLO) offset data file in the bts–n folder. After calibration has beencompleted, this offset data must be downloaded to the BBXs using theDownload BLO function. An explanation of the file is shown below.Due to the size of the file, Motorola recommends that youprint out a hard copy of a bts.cal file and refer to it for thefollowing descriptions.NOTEThe CAL file is subdivided into sections organized on a per slot basis (aslot Block).Slot 1 contains the calibration data for the 12 BBX slots. Slot 20contains the calibration data for the redundant BBX. Each BBX slotheader block contains:SA creation Date and Time – broken down into separate parameters ofcreateMonth, createDay, createYear, createHour, and createMin.SThe number of calibration entries – fixed at 720 entries correspondingto 360 calibration points of the CAL file including the slot header andactual calibration data.SThe calibration data for a BBX is organized as a large flat array.

RFDS Setup and Calibration – continuedMar 2001 3-83SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTRFDS CalibrationThe RFDS TX and RX antenna paths must be calibrated to ensure peakperformance. The RFDS calibration option calibrates the RFDS TX andRX paths.For a TX antenna path calibration, the BTS XCVR is keyed at apre–determined power level and the BTS power output level is measuredby the RFDS. The power level is then measured at the TX antennadirectional coupler by the power measuring test equipment item beingused (power meter or analyzer). The difference (offset) between thepower level at the RFDS and the power level at the TX antennadirectional coupler is used as the TX RFDS calibration offset value.For an RX antenna path calibration, the RFDS is keyed at apre–determined power level and the power input level is measured by theBTS XCVR. A CDMA signal at the same power level measured by theBTS XCVR is then injected at the RX antenna directional coupler by theRFDS keyed power level and the power level measured at the BTSXCVR is the RFDS RX calibration offset value.The TX and RX RFDS calibration offset values are written to the CALfile.PrerequisitesEnsure the following prerequisites have been met before proceeding:SBBXs are INS_TEST.SCable calibration has been performedSTX calibration has been performed and BLO has been downloaded forthe BTS.STest equipment has been connected correctly for a TX calibration.STest equipment has been selected and calibrated.Follow the procedure in Table 3-44 to calibrate the TX and RX antennapaths.Table 3-44: RFDS Calibration ProcedurenStep Action1Select the RFDS tab.2Select the RFDS menu.3Select the RFDS Calibration menu item.4Select the appropriate direction (TX or RX) in the Direction pick list.5Type the appropriate channel number(s) in the Channel box.NOTESeparate channel numbers with a comma or dash (no spaces) if using more than one channelnumber (e.g., 247,585,742 or 385–395 for numbers through and including).3

BTS Alarms TestingMar 2001 3-97SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTAlarm Test OverviewALARM connectors provide Customer Defined Alarm Inputs andOutputs. The customer can connect BTS site alarm input sensors andoutput devices to the BTS, thus providing alarm reporting of activesensors as well controlling output devices.The SC 4812T is capable of concurrently monitoring 36 input signalscoming into the BTS. These inputs are divided between 2 Alarmconnectors marked ‘ALARM A’ and ‘ALARM B’ located at the top ofthe frame (see Figure 3-24). The ALARM A connector is alwaysfunctional; ALARM B is functional when an AMR module is equippedin the AMR 2 slot in the distribution shelf. ALARM A port monitorsinput numbers 1 through 18, while ALARM B port monitors inputnumbers 19 through 36 (see Figure 3-25). State transitions on these inputlines are reported to the LMF and OMCR as MGLI Input Relay alarms.ALARM A and ALARM B connectors each provide 18 inputs and 8outputs. If both A and B are functional, 36 inputs and 16 outputs areavailable. They may be configured as redundant. The configuration is setby the CBSC.Alarm Reporting DisplayThe Alarm Monitor window can be displayed to list alarms that occurafter the window is displayed. To access the Alarm Monitor window,select Util>Alarm Monitor.The following buttons are included:SThe Options button allows for a severity level (Warning, Minor, andMajor) selection. The default is all levels. To change the level ofalarms reported click on the Options button and highlight the desiredalarm level(s). To select multiple levels press the <Ctrl> key (forindividual selections) or <Shift> key (for a range of selections) whileclicking on the desired levels.SThe Pause button pauses/stops the display of alarms. When the Pausebutton is clicked the name of the button changes to Continue. Whenthe Continue button is clicked, the display of alarms continues.Alarms that occur between the time the Pause button is clicked andthe Continue button is clicked are not displayed.SThe Clear button clears the Alarm Monitor display. New alarms thatoccur after the Clear button is clicked are displayed.SThe Dismiss button dismisses/closes the Alarm Monitor display.3

Automated Acceptance Test Procedures – All–inclusive TX & RXMar 2001 4-1SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTIntroductionThe Automated Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) allows Cellular FieldEngineers (CFEs) to run automated acceptance tests on all equipped BTSsubsystem devices using the Local Maintenance Facility (LMF) andsupported test equipment per the current Cell Site Data File (CDF)assignment.The results of these tests (at the option of the operator) are written to afile that can be printed. All tests are controlled from the LMF platformusing the GPIB interface, therefore, only recommended test equipmentsupported by the LMF can be used.This chapter describes the tests run from the GUI environment, which isthe recommended method. The GUI provides the advantages ofsimplifying the LMF user interface, reducing the potential for miskeyingcommmands and associated parameters, and speeding up the executionof complex operations involving multiple command strings. If you feelthe command line interface (CLI) will provide additional insight into theprogress of ATPs and problems that could possibly be encountered, referto LMF CLI Commands, R15.X (68P09251A59).Before performing any tests, use an editor to view the“CAVEATS” section of the “readme.txt” file in the c:\wlmffolder for any applicable information.The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service (OOS)sectors only.DO NOT substitute test equipment not supported by theLMF.IMPORTANT*Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed information on test setconnections for calibrating equipment, cables and other testset components, if required.NOTECustomer requirements determine which ATP tests to are to beperformed, and the craftsperson selects the appropriate ATP tests to run.The tests can be run individually or as one of the following groups:SAll TX: TX tests verify the performance of the BTS transmit line up.These include the GLI, MCC, BBX, and CIO cards, the LPAs andpassive components including splitters, combiners, bandpass filters,and RF cables.SAll RX: RX tests verify the performance of the BTS receiver line up.These include the MPC (for starter frames), EMPC (for expansionframes), CIO, BBX, MCC, and GLI cards and the passive componentsincluding RX filters (starter frame only), and RF cables. . . . continued on next page4
Automated Acceptance Test Procedure – All–inclusive TX & RX – continuedDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20014-2SAll TX/RX: Executes all the TX and RX tests.SFull Optimization: Executes the TX calibration, downloads the BLO,and executes the TX audit before running all of the TX and RX tests.ATP Test PrerequisitesBefore attempting to run any ATP tests, ensure the following have beencompleted:SBTS has been optimized and calibrated (see Chapter 3).SLMF is logged into the BTS.SCSMs, GLIs, BBXs, MCCs, and TSU (if the RFDS is installed) havecorrect code load and data load.SPrimary CSM, GLI, and MCCs are INS_ACT.SBBXs are calibrated and BLOs are downloaded.SBBXs are OOS_RAM.STest cables are calibrated.STest equipment is connected for ATP tests (see Figure 3-13 throughFigure 3-16 starting on page 3-50).STest equipment has been warmed up 60 minutes and calibrated.SGPIB is on.Before performing the FER, be sure that all LPAs areturned OFF (circuit breakers pulled) or that all transmitterports are properly terminated.All transmit ports must be properly terminated for all ATPtests.Failure to observe these warnings may result in bodilyinjury or equipment damage.WARNINGTX OUT ConnectionMany of the acceptance test procedures require takingmeasurements at the TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector. Atsites without RFDS installed, all measurements will be viathe BTS TX OUT connector. At sites with RFDS installed,all measurements will be via the RFDS directional couplerTX OUT connector.IMPORTANT*4

TX Output Acceptance Tests: IntroductionMar 2001 4-5SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTIndividual Acceptance TestsThe following individual tests can be used to verify the results ofspecific tests.Spectral Purity TX Mask (Primary & Redundant BBX)This test verifies that the transmitted CDMA carrier waveform generatedon each sector meets the transmit spectral mask specification withrespect to the assigned CDF file values.Waveform Quality (rho)This test verifies that the transmitted Pilot channel element digitalwaveform quality (rho) exceeds the minimum specified value inANSI–J_STD–019. “Rho” represents the correlation between actual andperfect CDMA modulation spectrum. A rho value of 1.0000 represents100% (or perfect correlation).Pilot Time OffsetThe Pilot Time Offset is the difference between the CDMA analyzermeasurement interval (based on the BTS system time reference) and theincoming block of transmitted data from the BTS (Pilot only, PilotGain = 262, PN Offset = 0).Code Domain Power (Primary & Redundant BBX)This test verifies the code domain power levels, which have been set forall ODD numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This isdone by verifying that the ratio of PILOT divided by OCNS is equal to10.2 $ 2 dB, and, that the noise floor of all EVEN numbered “OFF”Walsh channels measures v –27 dB (with respect to total CDMAchannel power).Frame Error RateThe Frame Error Rate (FER) test verifies RX operation of the entireCDMA Reverse Link using all equipped MCCs assigned to allrespective sector/antennas. This test verifies the BTS sensitivity on alltraffic channel elements currently configured on all equipped MCCs atan RF input level of –119 dBm (or –116 dBm if using TMPC).4
TX Spectral Purity Transmit Mask Acceptance TestDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20014-6Tx Mask TestThis test verifies the spectral purity of each BBX carrier keyed up at aspecific frequency, per the current CDF file assignment. All tests areperformed using the external calibrated test set, controlled by the samecommand. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT(BTS/RFDS) connector.The Pilot Gain is set to 541 for each antenna, and all channel elementsfrom the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, usingboth bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilotchannel element only). BBX power output is set to obtain +40 dBm asmeasured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or RFDSdirectional coupler).TX output power is set to +40 dBm by setting BTS powerlevel to +33.5 dBm to compensate for 6.5 dB increase frompilot gain set to 541.NOTEThe calibrated communications test set measures and returns theattenuation level of all spurious and IM products in a 30 kHz resolutionbandwidth. With respect to the mean power of the CDMA channelmeasured in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth in dB, verify that results meetsystem tolerances at the following test points:S1.7/1.9 GHz:–at least –45 dB @ + 900 kHz from center frequency–at least –45 dB @ – 900 kHz from center frequencyS800 MHz:–at least –45 dB @ + 750 kHz from center frequency–at least –45 dB @ – 750 kHz from center frequency–at least –60 dB @ – 1980 kHz from center frequency–at least –60 dB @ – 1980 kHz from center frequencyThe BBX then de-keys, and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured toassign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna pathunder test. The test is then repeated.4

TX Waveform Quality (rho) Acceptance TestDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20014-8Rho TestThis test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element digital waveformquality of each BBX carrier keyed up at a specific frequency per thecurrent CDF file assignment. All tests are performed using the externalcalibrated test set controlled by the same command. All measurementsare via the appropriate TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector.The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each antenna, and all channel elementsfrom the MCCs are forward link disabled. The BBX is keyed up usingboth bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilotchannel element only, Walsh code 0). BBX power output is set to40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS orRFDS directional coupler).The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the Pilotchannel element digital waveform quality (rho) in dB, verifying that theresult meets system tolerances:SWaveform quality (rho) should be > 0.912 (–0.4 dB).The BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured toassign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna pathunder test. The test is then be repeated.4
TX Pilot Time Offset Acceptance TestMar 2001 4-9SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTPilot Offset Acceptance TestThis test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element Pilot Time Offsetof each BBX carrier keyed up at a specific frequency per the currentCDF file assignment. All tests are performed using the externalcalibrated test set controlled by the same command. All measurementsare via the appropriate TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector.The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each antenna, and all TCH elements fromthe MCCs are forward link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, using bothbbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilotchannel element only, Walsh code 0). BBX power output is set to40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS orRFDS directional coupler).The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the PilotTime Offset in µs, verifying results meet system tolerances:SPilot Time Offset should be within < 3 µs of the target PTOffset (0 µs).The BBX then de-keys, and if selected, the MCC is re-configured toassign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna pathunder test. The test is then repeated.
TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance TestDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20014-10Code Domain Power TestThis test verifies the Code Domain Power/Noise of each BBX carrierkeyed up at a specific frequency per the current CDF file assignment.All tests are performed using the external calibrated test set controlled bythe same command. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT(BTS/RFDS) connector.For each sector/antenna under test, the Pilot Gain is set to 262. All MCCchannel elements under test are configured to generate OrthogonalChannel Noise Source (OCNS) on different odd Walsh codes and to beassigned a full–rate gain of 81. The maximum number of MCC/CEs tobe tested an any one time is 32 (32 odd Walsh codes). If more than 32CEs exist, then multiple sets of measurements are made; so all channelelements are verified on all sectors.BBX power output is set to 40 dBm as measured at the TX OUTconnector (on either the BTS or RFDS directional coupler).You verify the code domain power levels, which have been set for allODD numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This isdone by verifying that Pilot Power (dBm) minus OCNS Power (dBm) isequal to 10.2 + 2 dB and that the noise floor of all “OFF” Walsh channelsmeasures < –27 dB (with respect to total CDMA channel power).The BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured toassign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna pathunder test. The test is then repeated. Upon completion of the test, OCNSis disabled on the specified MCC/CE.4

C–CCP Backplane TroubleshootingMar 2001 6-13SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTIntroductionThe C–CCP backplane is a multi–layer board that interconnects all theC–CCP modules. The complexity of this board lends itself to possibleimproper diagnoses when problems occur.Connector FunctionalityThe following connector overview describes the major types ofbackplane connectors along with the functionality of each. Thisinformation allows the CFE to:SDetermine which connector(s) is associated with a specific problemtype.SIsolate problems to a specific cable or connector.Primary “A” and Redundant “B” Inter Shelf Bus ConnectorsThe 40 pin Inter Shelf Bus (ISB) connectors provide an interface busfrom the master GLI2 to all other GLI2s in the modem frame. Theirbasic function is to provide clock synchronization from the master GLI2to all other GLI2s in the frame.The ISB also provides the following functions:SSpan line grooming when a single span is used for multiple cages.SMMI connection to/from the master GLI2 to cell site modem.SInterface between GLI2s and the AMR (for reporting BTS alarms).Span Line ConnectorThe span line input is an 8–pin RJ–45 connector that provides a primaryand secondary (if used) span line interface to each GLI2 in the C–CCPshelf. The span line is used for MM/EMX switch control of the MasterGLI2 and also all the BBX traffic.Primary “A” and Redundant “B” Reference DistributionModule Input/OutputThe Reference Distribution Module (RDM) connectors route the 3 MHzreference signals from the CSMs to the GLI2s and all BBXs in thebackplane. The signals are used to phase lock loop all clock circuits onthe GLI2s and BBX boards to produce precise clock and signalfrequencies.Power Input (Return A, B, and C connectors)Provides a +27 volt or –48 volt input for use by the power supplymodules. . . . continued on next page6
C–CCP Backplane Troubleshooting – continuedDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20016-14Power Supply Module InterfaceEach power supply module has a series of three different connectors toprovide the needed inputs/outputs to the C–CCP backplane. Theseinclude a VCC/Ground input connector, a Harting style multiple pininterface, and a +15 V/Analog Ground output connector. The C–CCPPower Modules convert +27 or –48 Volts to a regulated +15, +6.5, and+5.0 Volts to be used by the C–CCP shelf cards. In the –48 V BTS, theLPA power modules convert –48 Volts to a regulated +27 Volts.GLI2 ConnectorThis connector consists of a Harting 4SU digital connector and a6–conductor coaxial connector for RDM distribution. The connectorsprovide inputs/outputs for the GLI2s in the C–CCP backplane.GLI2 Ethernet “A” and “B” ConnectionsThese BNC connectors are located on the C–CCP backplane and routedto the GLI2 board. This interface provides all the control and datacommunications between the master GLI2 and the other GLI2, betweengateways, and for the LMF on the LAN.BBX ConnectorEach BBX connector consists of a Harting 2SU/1SU digital connectorand two 6–conductor coaxial connectors. These connectors provide DC,digital, and RF inputs/outputs for the BBXs in the C–CCP backplane.CIO ConnectorsSRX RF antenna path signal inputs are routed through RX Tri–Filters(on the I/O plate), and via coaxial cables to the two MPC modules –the six “A” (main) signals go to one MPC; the six “B” (diversity) tothe other. The MPC outputs the low–noise–amplified signals via theC–CCP backplane to the CIO where the signals are split and sent tothe appropriate BBX.SA digital bus then routes the baseband signal through the BBX, to thebackplane, then on to the MCC slots.SDigital TX antenna path signals originate at the MCCs. Each outputis routed from the MCC slot via the backplane appropriate BBX.STX RF path signal originates from the BBX, through the backplane tothe CIO, through the CIO, and via multi-conductor coaxial cabling tothe LPAs in the LPA shelf.C–CCP BackplaneTroubleshooting ProcedureTable 6-15 through Table 6-24 provide procedures for troubleshootingproblems that appear to be related to a defective C–CCP backplane.

PN Offset Programming InformationMar 2001 B-1SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTPN Offset BackgroundAll channel elements transmitted from a BTS in a particular 1.25 MHzCDMA channel are orthonogonally spread by 1 of 64 possible Walshcode functions; additionally, they are also spread by a quadrature pair ofPN sequences unique to each sector.Overall, the mobile uses this to differentiate multiple signals transmittedfrom the same BTS (and surrounding BTS) sectors, and to synchronizeto the next strongest sector.The PN offset per sector is stored on the BBXs, where the correspondingI & Q registers reside.The PN offset values are determined on a per BTS/per sector(antenna)basis as determined by the appropriate cdf file content. A breakdown ofthis information is found in Table B-1.PN Offset UsageOnly the 14–chip delay is currently in use. It is important to determinethe RF chip delay to be able to test the BTS functionality. This can bedone by ascertaining if the CDF file FineTxAdj value was set to “on”when the MCC was downloaded with “image data”. The FineTxAdjvalue is used to compensate for the processing delay (approximately20 mS) in the BTS using any type of mobile meeting IS–97specifications.If the FineTxAdj value in the cdf file is 213 (D5 HEX), FineTxAdj hasbeen set for the 14 chip table.CDF file I and Q values can be represented in DECIMALor HEX. If using HEX, add 0x before the HEX value. Ifnecessary, convert HEX values in Table B-1 to decimalbefore comparing them to cdf file I & Q value assignments.IMPORTANT*B

Itis also assumed that all modules are placed OOS–ROM via the LMFuntil full redundancy of all applicable modules is implemented.The following guidelines should also be noted when using this table.Not every procedure required to bring the site back on lineis indicated in Table C-3. It is meant to be used as aguideline ONLY. The table assumes that the user is familiarenough with the BTS Optimization/ATP procedure tounderstand which test equipment set ups, calibrations, andBTS site preparation will be required before performing theTable # procedures referenced.IMPORTANT*Various passive BTS components (such as the TX and RX directionalcouplers, Preselector IO, CIO; etc.) only call for a TX or RX calibrationaudit to be performed in lieu of a full path calibration. If the RX or TXpath calibration audit fails, the entire RF path calibration will need to berepeated. If the RF path calibration fails, further troubleshooting iswarranted.Whenever any C–CCP BACKPLANE is replaced, it is assumed thatonly power to the C–CCP shelf being replaced is turned off via thebreaker supplying that shelf.Whenever any DISTRIBUTION BACKPLANE is replaced it is assumedthat the power to the entire RFM frame is removed and the PreselectorI/O is replaced. The modem frame should be brought up as if it were anew installation. . . . continued on next pageC

TheBBX boards may need to be removed, then re–installed into theiroriginal slots, and re–downloaded (code and BLO data). RX and TXcalibration audits should then be performed. . . . continued on next pageC

BBX Gain Set Point vs. BTS Output ConsiderationsMar 2001 D-1SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTUsage & BackgroundTable D-1 outlines the relationship between the total of all code domainchannel element gain settings (digital root sum of the squares) and theBBX Gain Set Point between 33.0 dBm and 44.0 dBm. The resultant RFoutput (as measured at the top of the BTS in dBm) is shown in the table.The table assumes that the BBX Bay Level Offset (BLO) values havebeen calculated.As an illustration, consider a BBX keyed up to produce a CDMA carrierwith only the Pilot channel (no MCCs forward link enabled). Pilot gainis set to 262. In this case, the BBX Gain Set Point is shown to correlateexactly to the actual RF output anywhere in the 33 to 44 dBm outputrange. (This is the level used to calibrate the BTS).Table D-1: BBX Gain Set Point vs. Actual BTS Output (in dBm)dBm'Gainb44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33541 –––––––43.3 42.3 41.3 40.3 39.3533 –––––––43.2 42.2 41.2 40.2 39.2525 – – – – – – 44 43 42 41 40 39517 – – – – – – 43.9 42.9 41.9 40.9 39.9 38.9509 – – – – – – 43.8 42.8 41.8 40.8 39.8 38.8501 – – – – – – 43.6 42.6 41.6 40.6 39.6 38.6493 – – – – – – 43.5 42.5 41.5 40.5 39.5 38.5485 – – – – – – 43.4 42.4 41.4 40.4 39.4 38.4477 – – – – – – 43.2 42.2 41.2 40.2 39.2 38.2469 – – – – – – 43.1 42.1 41.1 40.1 39.1 38.1461 –––––43.9 42.9 41.9 40.9 39.9 38.9 37.9453 –––––43.8 42.8 41.8 40.8 39.8 38.8 37.8445 –––––43.6 42.6 41.6 40.6 39.6 38.6 37.6437 –––––43.4 42.4 41.4 40.4 39.4 38.4 37.4429 –––––43.3 42.3 41.3 40.3 39.3 38.3 37.3421 –––––43.1 42.1 41.1 40.1 39.1 38.1 37.1413 – – – – 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37405 – – – – 43.8 42.8 41.8 40.8 39.8 38.8 37.8 36.8397 – – – – 43.6 42.6 41.6 40.6 39.6 38.6 37.6 36.6389 – – – – 43.4 42.4 41.4 40.4 39.4 38.4 37.4 36.4 . . . continued on next pageD

Transmit & Receive Antenna VSWRMar 2001 G-1SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTPurposeThe following procedures will verify that the Voltage Standing WaveRatio (VSWR) of all antennas and associated feed lines fall withinacceptable limits. The tests will be performed on all antennas in asequential manner (i.e., ANT 1, then ANT 2) until all antennas/feedlineshave been verified.These procedures should be performed periodically by measuring eachrespective antenna’s VSWR (reflected power) to verify that the antennasystem is within acceptable limits. This will ensure continued peaksystem performance.The antenna VSWR will be calculated at the CDMA carrier frequencyassigned to each antenna. Record and verify that they meet the testspecification of less than or equal to 1.5:1.It is recommended that the installer be familiar with thefollowing procedure in its entirety before beginning theactual procedure. Ensure that the entire site is currently notin service.IMPORTANT*This test is used to test RX antennas by substituting RXfrequencies for TX frequencies.NOTEStudy the site engineering documents and perform the following testsonly after first verifying that the RF cabling configuration required tointerconnect the BTS frames and antennas meet requirements called outin the BTS Installation Manual.Test equipmentThe following pieces of test equipment will be required to perform thistest:SLMFSDirectional couplerSCommunications test setPrior to performing antenna tests, insure that no CDMABBX channels are keyed.

IntroductionMar 2001 I-1SCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP DRAFTPurposeThis procedure is a guide to expanding your system with multiplecarriers while the system remains in service. This procedure also allowsyou to perform on site maintenance (replace defective boards andrecalibrate) while the remainder of the site stays in service.Motorola recommends that you perform this procedure during amaintenance window.This procedure cannot be performed on BTSs with 4–to–1 combiners.The procedure can only be performed on one side of the BTS at onetime. That is, LPAs 1, 2 ,3, 7, 8, 9 (feed antennas 1, 2, 3) can becalibrated while LPAs 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 (feed antennas 4, 5, 6) remainin service and vice versa.Equipment Warm upCalibration of the communications test set (or equivalenttest equipment) must be performed at the site beforecalibrating the overall test set. Calibrate the test equipmentafter it has been allowed to warm-up and stabilize for aminimum of 60 minutes.IMPORTANT*If any piece of test equipment (i.e., test cable, RF adapter)has been replaced, re-calibration must be performed.Failure to do so could introduce measurement errors,causing incorrect measurements and degradation to systemperformance.CAUTIONI
Power Delta CalibrationDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 2001I-2Power Delta CalibrationIntroductionThe In–service calibration procedure has several differences from anormal calibration procedure. One of these is the use of a spectrumanalyzer instead of a power meter to measure power. Power meters arebroadband measurement devices and cannot be used to measure powerduring In–service Calibration since other carriers are operating. Aspectrum analyzer can be used because it measures power at a givenfrequency. However, measuring power using a spectrum analyzer is lessaccurate than using a power meter. Therefore, you must compensate forthe difference (delta) between the power meter and the spectrumanalyzer.HP8921A Power DeltaCalibrationUse the HP8921A Spectrum Analyzer to measure power duringIn–Service Calibration for 800 MHz systems. After the offset value hasbeen calculated, add it to the TX cable loss value.Follow the procedure in Table I-1 to perform the HP8921A Power DeltaCalibration procedure.This procedure requires two HP8921As.NOTETable I-1: HP8921A Power Delta Calibration ProcedureStep Action* IMPORTANTPerform this procedure after test equipment has been allowed to warm–up and stabilize for a minimumof 60 minutes.1Connect a short RF cable between the HP8921A Duplex Out port and the HP437B power sensor (seeFigure I-1).2Set the HP8921A signal source as follows:–Measure mode to CDMA Generator–Frequency to the CDMA Calibration target frequency–CW RF Path to IQ–Output Port to Dupl–Data Source to Random–Amplitude to 0 dBm3Measure and record the power value reading on the HP437B Power Meter.4Record the Power Meter reading as result A ________________________.. . . continued on next pageI
