Feeder& Antenna System Faults troubleshooting Mainly to resolve feeders

RTWP problems.

Uplink Interference Detection use uplink frequency scanning to dedicate

interference .

Main performance monitor for RRU Channel Troubleshooting:

Monitor method for Feeder&antenna problem troubleshooting

1 VSWR Test

2 Offline antenna interfere detect test

Monitor methods for radio interference detection:

1)uplink broadband scanning

2)High precision Spectrum Detection

3)broad band on-line frequency scan

4)broad band off-line frequency scan

Monitor method for Feeder&antenna problem troubleshooting
1,VSWR Test STR VSWRTEST

Belong to Offline high- precision VSWR test, result only for RRU port, VSWR test will used before
Cell was acted, to check hardware install quality; when VSWR alarm appeared, VSWR test will be
used to confirm it.

Comparing with on-line VSWR test, this VSWR test is a off-line test ,was less affected by radio
signal.

2,Offline antenna interfere detect test STR RFTEST

By control of RRU TX power, observe whether RTWP was obviously changed during test ,to judge
whether intermodulation interference was exist. Only RRU port is a TX&RX port, it can test
whether intermodulation interference was exist; if it s a TX or RX port only, it is no need and can
not observe whether a intermodulation interference exist, ENODEB support 1 intermodulation
interference test at one time .

Characteristics 3/5
Monitor methods for radio interference detection
1, uplink broadband scanning

We can observe interference around ENODEB by uplink broadband scanning, including

radio interference and interference in ENODEB. It scanning a continues broadband by RRU
or RFU, calculate RX signal intensity and report it. Uplink broadband scanning mainly used
for real time scanning of RTWP, to judge whether RSSI/RTWP is abnormal.

Comparing with Spectrum Detection, uplink broadband scanning is much more quickly ,and
can observe RX power of every RB, but it can not scan broadband that higher.

2, Spectrum Detection -High precision Spectrum Detection

It is a on-line scanning, to observe interference for ENODEB frequency on using and a little
brink frequency. This function mainly used for remote interference scanning.

Comparing with broad band on-line frequency scan and broad band off-line frequency scan,
High precision Spectrum Detection has a high differentiate rate and quickly speed of
scanning, but lower bandwidth.

3, Spectrum Detection - broad band on-line frequency scan

Can scan a certain continuous band, Comparing with High precision Spectrum Detection, broad
band on-line frequency scan has a lower differentiate rate and quickly speed of scanning, but
higher bandwidth.

4, Spectrum Detection - broad band off-line frequency scan

It is a off-line scan, need to deactivate cell. It can scan RRUs whole bandwidth. Comparing with
broad band on-line frequency scan and High precision Spectrum Detection, broad band off-line
frequency scan works slowly, but support a wider bandwidth.
