The RF Antenna and Feeder
3.11.1 Fault Description
I.
The RF antenna and feeder is not working properly
3.11.2 Troubleshooting
The RF antenna and feeder failure will generate a standing
wave alarm, and there will be no transmit power at the antenna port
or the transmit power is too low.
When such a problem occurs, we can check the standing wave
ratio and transmit power (including testing the transmit power at the
coupling-output port of the CDU (or DFU, DDU) panel: Tx -Test)
starting from the antenna port in the CDU (or DFU, DDU) to the
antenna in the BTS. Check the following to locate the problems:
1)
Water infiltration in the antenna and feeder system;
2)
Antenna, feeder and jumper damaged;
3)
BTS antenna and jumper disconnected or in poor contact;
4)
Feeder and jumper disconnected or in poor contact;
5)
The connection between the cabinet-top jumper and the
cabinet-top connector disconnected or in poor contact;
6)
The connection between the internal cabinet jumper and
CDU (or DFU, DDU) disconnected or in poor contact;
7)
The feeder and jumper connector were not installed
correctly.
