Feed
Check that the transmission line is adequately supported and protected
between the enclosure and the antenna tower.
Antennas
When the tower is climbed for structural inspection, antennas should be
inspected as well. Check for:
•
correct orientation and tilt
•
crack, dents and burns
•
fasteners, attachment and security
•
transmission line and ground attachment security
•
audible gas leakage in pressurized systems
Pressurized transmission lines
If a pressurized transmission line to the antenna is used, check the nitrogen
tank pressure and manifold pressure every visit. Check the dehydrator at the
same time.
Site performance
The ultimate measure of the cell site’s condition is the cell site’s actual
measured performance. Site performance should be tested once a year and
can be gauged by the following tests. It should be taken into consideration
that coverage and handoffs can be impacted by seasons and weather.
Fringe coverage
Using the most recent coverage maps, take a test mobile and drive to the
fringe of the site coverage area with a call established to confirm coverage.
Most mobiles are able to access signal strength function mode.
Handoff checks
Using the standard drive defined for the site or system acceptance procedures,
with a call established drive across the cell boundaries. Confirm that the
handoffs occur in the appropriate places and that there is sufficient hysteresis
to prevent ping-ponging of calls. You can use a test mobile with channel-
indicating firmware to check the exact location of the handoffs.
Antenna sweep
Measure the reflected power from the antenna across the entire cellular band
(receive and transmit) to check for hidden damage or deterioration of the
antennas. Refer to Chapter 7, Antenna Tests, in this manual.
