Setting the MCPA output power
After installing the software on the computer or downloading the firmware to
the MCPA shelf, you can begin to set the output power for the MCPA shelf.
The MCPA output power setting determines the per carrier power as well as
the maximum power to be transmitted by the MCPA modules. Here are some
examples of how to calculate and set the MCPA output power.
•
If your cell/sector has 16 channels and you want to transmit an output
power of 2.5 watts per channel, enter:
2.5 in the “Target output power per channel” box, and
16 in the “Number of channels” box
This sets the per channel output power to 2.5 watts and the total MCPA
output power of the 16 channels is 40 watts (16 channels x 2.5 watts).
•
If the capacity of the cell/sector is reduced to 12 channels, the per channel
output power remains at 2.5 watts while the total MCPA output power is
reduced to 30 watts (12 channels x 2.5 watts).
In this case, you do not need to set the power level again if the per channel
output power is at the desired level. However, if you need a new per
channel power level, you have to set the output power level again.
•
If the capacity of the cell/sector is increased to 24 channels, the per
channel output power decreases to 1.67 watts while the total MCPA
output power remains at 40 watts (24 channels x 1.67 watts).
In this case, if you want to maintain the per channel output power at 2.5
watts, you need to enter the requirements again. So, enter:
2.5 in the “Target output power per channel” box, and
24 in the “Number of channels” box
This sets the per channel output power to 2.5 watts and the total MCPA
output power of the 24 channels is 60 watts (24 channels x 2.5 watts).
Note: You must use two MCPA modules to obtain a total output power of
higher than 100 watts.
IMPORTANT
The calculation refers to output at the MCPA shelf. If you need
the output power at the antenna port of the duplexer, you must
add the insertion loss into your calculation.
