Troubleshooting 
i.

 

Check whether the level threshold of the RACH receiving signal has 
changed. If the threshold is much greater than before, it may 

reduce the BS coverage. 

ii.

 

Check whether there exists strong interference, which will reduce 
the receiving sensitivity and coverage of BS. 

iii.

 

Check whether the loss from the leakage of RF signal is caused by 
the improper RF cable connection between the ETRM and the AEM. 

iv.

 

Observe the level-1 alarm indicator of the SWR1 standing wave 
ratio on the AEM panel. If it is on, check the standing wave ratio of 

the jumper, main feeder and antenna from the AEM outlet section 
by section until the reason why the standing wave ratio is getting 

worse is found. The connectors between the set bottom jumper, 
main feeder and antenna not contacted properly or feeder cable 
leakage will reduce the transmission power to influence coverage. 

At last, refer to Appendix A and replace the faulty parts until the 
fault is eliminated. 

v.

 

Check if the output power of PA has decreased. If abnormal, adjust 
the power control. If still too low, replace the ETRM. 

vi.

 

Check whether other antennas or obstacles exist around the 
antenna. If yes, adjust the azimuth angle and height of the antenna 

in time to lessen the influence. 

vii.

 

Check whether the azimuth angle and pitch angle of the antenna 
have changed since the deviation of them will cause smaller BS 

coverage. Please adjust them in time after confirming the fault. 

viii.

 

Use the power meter to check whether the lower transmission 

power of the antenna is caused by the negative leakage of the 
directional antenna. If yes, please replace the antenna in time. 

7.

 

Precautions 
Consider the following cases if the BS coverage is found to be poorer 

during BS expansion. 
i.

 

Whether different types of couplers are used since if the type or 
number of them is different, the generated attenuation will also be 

different. 

ii.

 

Check whether the new antenna is installed as required, such as 

azimuth angle and inclination angle, mounting height and whether 
the coverage of the main antenna and the diversity is in 

consistency, deviation from which may result in unstable coverage 
effect when subscribers occupy different antennas. 

iii.

 

Check whether the receiving sensitivity of BS is normal.
