![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. Thearray is organized by branch, sector, and calibration point.–The first breakdown of the array indicates which branch thecontained calibration points are for. The array covers transmit, mainreceive and diversity receive offsets as follows:Table 3-31: BLO BTS.cal File Array AssignmentsRange AssignmentC[1]–C[240] TransmitC[241]–C[480] Main ReceiveC[481]–C[720] Diversity ReceiveSlot 385 is the BLO for the RFDS.NOTE . . . continued on next page3](https://usermanual.wiki/Nokia-Solutions-and-Networks/T6BN1.IHET6BN1-User-Manual-Part-3-of-3/User-Guide-166505-Page-50.png)

![Bay Level Offset Calibration – continuedDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20013-68SThe 20 calibration entries for each sector/branch combination must bestored in order of increasing frequency. If less than 10 points(frequencies) are calibrated, the largest frequency that is calibrated isrepeated to fill out the 10 points.Example:C[1]=384, odd cal entry = 1 ‘‘calibration point”C[2]=19102, even cal entryC[3]=777,C[4]=19086,..C[19]=777,C[20]=19086, (since only two cal points were calibrated this would be repeated for the next 8 points)SWhen the BBX is loaded with image = data, the cal file data for theBBX is downloaded to the device in the order it is stored in the calfile. TxCal data is sent first, C[1] – C[240]. Sector 1’s ten calibrationpoints are sent (C[1] – C[20]) followed by sector 2’s ten calibrationpoints (C[21] – C[40]), etc. The RxCal data is sent next (C[241] –C[480]), followed by the RxDCal data (C[481] – C[720]).STemperature compensation data is also stored in the cal file for eachset.Test Equipment Setup:RF Path CalibrationFollow the procedure in Table 3-33 to set up test equipment.Table 3-33: Test Equipment Setup (RF Path Calibration)Step ActionNOTEVerify the GPIB controller is properly connected and turned on.! CAUTIONTo prevent damage to the test equipment, all transmit (TX) test connections must be via the 30 dBdirectional coupler for 800 MHz with an additional 20 dB in–line attenuator for 1.7/1.9 GHz.1Connect the LMF computer terminal to the BTS LAN A connector on the BTS (if you have notalready done so).

![RX Frame Error Rate (FER) Acceptance TestDRAFTSCt4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP Mar 20014-12FER TestThis test verifies the BTS FER on all traffic channel elements currentlyconfigured on all equipped MCCs (full rate at 1% FER) at an RF inputlevel of –119 dBm [or –116 dBm if using Tower TopAmplifier (TMPC)]. All tests are performed using the external calibratedtest set as the signal source controlled by the same command. Allmeasurements are via the LMF.The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each TX antenna, and all channelelements from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX is keyedup, using only bbxlvl level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (withpilot channel element only). BBX power output is set to –20 dBm asmeasured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or RFDSdirectional coupler). The BBX must be keyed to enable the RX receivecircuitry.The LMF prompts the MCC/CE under test to measure all zero longcodeand provide the FER report on the selected active MCC on the reverselink for both the main and diversity RX antenna paths, verifying thatresults meet the following specification:SFER returned less than 1% and total frames measured is 1500All MCC/CEs selected are tested on the specified RX antenna path. TheBBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to assignthe applicable redundant BBX to the current RX antenna paths undertest. The test is then repeated.4](https://usermanual.wiki/Nokia-Solutions-and-Networks/T6BN1.IHET6BN1-User-Manual-Part-3-of-3/User-Guide-166505-Page-102.png)

Thus, only components having losses ≤30 dBshould be measured using this method. For further accuracy, always re-zero the power meterbefore connecting the power sensor to the component being calibrated. After connecting thepower sensor to the component, record the calibrated loss immediately.18 Disconnect all components in the test setup and calibrate each one separately by connecting eachcomponent, one-at-a-time, between the RF OUT ONLY PORT and the power sensor (see Figure F-1,Setups A, B, or C).
