3.1. Setup
The following steps explain how to connect the unit to the host PC, tablet, or UE, and power
source to begin collecting data.
1. Depending on the type of measurements to be carried out, please connect appropriate
antennas:
a.
10MHz-6GHz only
: If trying to carryout measurements between the frequency
range of 10MHz to 6GHz then connect the antennas to the SMA connectors
labeled RF1 and RF2 on the unit (
). Note that for 10MHz to 6GHz
measurements RF2 is only used for these applications (otherwise, RF2 is
inactive):
i. LTE MIMO measurements enabled during eTopN scans (
sub 6GHz only
)
ii. When setting up scans in different frequency bands while using antennas
with different frequency ranges on the different ports (RF1 and RF2) (
sub
6GHz only for technologies except 5GNR
)
iii. The Signal Analyzer feature in SeeHawk Touch.
b.
Both 10MHz-6GHz and 24-40GHz range
: For this case, connect the antenna for
sub 6GHz measurements to appropriate RF1/RF2 port and then other mmWave
antenna to other the appropriate mmWave RF1/RF2 antenna port. Ensure that
the RF cable connector (OP306) from the mmWave DC1/DC2 is connected into
the RF1/RF2 port which is being used for mmWave measurements and not sub
6GHz measurements. See Figure 4.
2.
24-40GHz only
: When carrying out mmWave measurements only (24GHz to 40GHz)
ensure that the DC1 and DC2 ports have RF cable connectors (OP306) connected to
RF1 and RF2 ports and the mmWave antennas are connected to mmWave RF1 and
mmWave RF2 ports.Connect the GPS antenna (or input) to the SMB connector.
3. If using a USB connection to a Windows laptop or tablet computer, connect the USB
cable to both the SeeGull HB
flex
scanning receiver (COM port) and to a PC USB port.
4. If using an Ethernet connection, the HB
flex
must be connected to a network or the user
’s
laptop. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN connector on the unit.
5. If using a Bluetooth connection to connect to an Android device connect the Bluetooth
antenna to the SMA connector on the unit.
6. For Wi-Fi testing, insert the Wi-Fi Adapter (with extender) into the USB port.
7. Connect the power cable to the SeeGull HB
flex
scanning receiver (
Figure 5
) and to the
car Power Socket or to the battery pack for in-building testing. After the power switch at
the back of the unit is turned on, the SYS LED on the receiver blinks orange. After a
short delay, the light turns green (
). If the light turns dark red (either solid or
blinking), the unit has failed the power-up test. Please contact Customer Support.
8. If saving data to SD card, insert SD card into SD port. SD card use is limited to 32
Gigabytes.
