![Antenna Installation Procedures2006/8/3 Part ####### revision 001 84INSTALL THE MAIN AND DIVERSITY ANTENNASThese procedures describe the general process for installing the main and diversity antennas. Consult your field enginnering package for any site-specific antenna installation requirements.Before You BeginBefore you install the antennas:Select an installation location away from any objects that might obstruct the RF signals. Although the base station has non-line-of-site RF capability, obstructions may reduce the strength of the transmission or reception signals.Ensure that the type and length of cabling used to connect the main and diversity antennas to the radio module meet your attenuation and shielding requirements.Cabling and ConnectorsFigure 5.1 shows the main and diversity antenna cabling and connectors.WARNING:Before proceeding with the installation of the antennas, consult theapplicable local code of wiring for requirements, including: clearance from power andlightning conductors, proper mounting methods, and antenna grounding.](https://usermanual.wiki/Sanyo-Electric-Co/NPM-2000-C310.Users-Manul-Part-III/User-Guide-707404-Page-2.png)

![Antenna Installation Procedures2006/8/3 Part ####### revision 001 88MEASURING VSWR AND RETURN LOSSVoltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is a ratio of the maximum to minimum voltage as measured along the length of a mismatched RF transmission line. VSWR indicates the level of impedance matching between RF equipment (such as amplifiers, cabling, and antennas). When the impedances of the RF equipment are mismatched, some of the RF energy is reflected back along the transmission line.Reflected energy causes inefficiencies in the transmission power output. A VSWR of 1:1, as measured from antenna cable to the antenna, indicates that 100% of the power output is being radiated by the antenna. During a cable sweep, RF equipment should show a VSWR of 1.5:1 or less, as measured from 2500-2686 MHz. A VSWR greater than 1.5:1 indicates potential problems with the RF equipment.A high VSWR may be caused by one or more of the following conditions:Moisture in the external cables or connectorsFaulty equipmentPoor connections between componentsDamaged cables or connectorsAn open- or short-circuit in RF equipment or cablesReturn LossReturn loss is closely related to VSWR. Return loss is a measure in decibels (dB) of the ratio of forward to reflected power. For example, if a load has a return loss of 10 dB, then 1/10 of the forward power is reflected. The higher the return loss, the less energy is being reflected.Table 5.1 shows the correlation between VSWR, return loss, and the percentage of reflected power.To measure the VSWR of RF equipment1Power on and calibrate your cable sweep analyzer.2Power off the radio module connected to the RF equipment you want to test. See page 93 for a list of cir-cuit breakers.VSWR Return Loss (dB) Power Being Reflected (%)1:1 N/A (infinite value) 01.25:1 19.1 1.21.5:1 14 4.01.75:1 11.3 7.42:1 9.5 11.15:1 3.5 44.7N/A (infinite value) 0 100.0Table 5.1VSWR, Return Loss, and Reflected Power Conversions](https://usermanual.wiki/Sanyo-Electric-Co/NPM-2000-C310.Users-Manul-Part-III/User-Guide-707404-Page-6.png)

Due to the use of the tower-top low noise amplifier (TT-LNA), all cable sweeps must measure the total length of the cable run (including all connectors, jumpers, and CIN), using a DIN adapter (female-female) in place of the TT-LNA.5Perform the cable sweeps.See the documentation that comes with your analyzer for information about performing the cable sweep and interpreting the results.6Record the results from the cable sweeps. Keeping records of periodic cable sweeps makes trouble-shooting future problems easier.7Carefully disconnect the analyzer from the RF equipment.8Reconnect the RF equipment and cables back to the radio module.9If any of the connectors are outdoors, ensure that they are resealed according to the procedures of your site.10 Reconnect the RF equipment to the radio module.11 Power on the radio module. See page 93 for a list of circuit breakers.!WARNING:Extreme care must be taken when connecting or disconnecting thecoaxial antenna cable to avoid damage to the center pins. Connectors should betorqued to a maximum of 28.0 N•m (247.8 inch-pounds) and be free of dirt or moisture.Do not over-torque the connectors as this can damage the center pin and cause cablefaults and other RF problems.](https://usermanual.wiki/Sanyo-Electric-Co/NPM-2000-C310.Users-Manul-Part-III/User-Guide-707404-Page-7.png)
![Antenna Installation Procedures2006/8/3 Part ####### revision 001 90MEASURING THE DISTANCE TO A FAULTDistance to fault (DTF) is a measurement of VSWR or return loss based on distance. A DTF test indi-cates the distance to a short, open, or load. Perform a DTF test whenever a VSWR test reveals that the antenna system is not operating within specifications.To accurately interpret the results from a DTF cable sweep, you need to know the lengths of your cables and the location of any devices or connectors attached to those cables. Comparing the results of the test with the layout of your antenna system will help you to determine if problems are caused by faulty devices, connectors, or cables.To measure the distance to fault1Power on and calibrate your cable sweep analyzer.2Power off the radio module connected to the RF equipment you want to test.

Service interrput may be required if adjustments to the antenna subsystem are required.Voice and Data Functionality and PerformanceThe ATP should include procedures that test the functionality and performance of the voice and data services.RF Network Coverage OptimizationRF network coverage optimization should be performed after the upgrade is completed for all planned sites within the market area in order to secure high service quality and subscriber satisfaction.Network optimization typically requires:Monitoring network statistics to identify areas or users with service quality degradationDrive testing (pilot channel scan) to identify areas with coverage problemsCollected data should be analyzed and, if necessary, appropriate site configuration changes imple-mented (such as antenna orientation, down tilt, base station power setting, individual channel power allocation, or parameter tuning).In situations where a configuration change for a large number of sites is planned, sector upgrades should occur in several phases. The entire network should be divided in clusters of sites and sectoriza-tion performed for each cluster individually. Coverage optimization should be performed for each cluster after sectorization is completed.
