Does the system include a Standard Filter in the back of the BTS?
With or Without Standard Filter
Must the system comply with regulatory Requirements regarding the Maximum PA Output?
Yes or No
Length of the Main cable (in feet or meters)
Vertical Drop from the Antenna or Buss Bar (in feet or meters) – This represents how much of
length of each Main cable segment will add its weight on the tower.
Type of Jumper Cable – Select one of the following:
LMR 600 (Times Microwave)
LMR 400 (Times Microwave)
RF 1/2-50 (NK Cables)
RF 3/8-50 (NK Cables)
FSJ4-50B (Andrew Cables)
FSJ2-50 (Andrew Cables)
You can always select another Jumper cable later and repeat the calculations.
Length of the Higher Jumper Cable segments (Main to RFS) in feet or meters
Length of the Lower Jumper Cable segments (Main to BTS) in feet or meters.
Maximum Allowed Weight for All Cables (in pounds or kilograms) – This weight should not be
exceeded by the combination of the following three components:
• the weight of the higher Jumper cable segments
• the weight of the length of the Main Cable segments (8 x RF + CAL) that actually
contributes weight to the tower (estimated as the Vertical Drop)
• the weight of the length of the Power and Data cable that actually contributes weight
to the tower (estimated as the length of one Higher Jumper Cable segment + the Vertical
Drop)
NOTE: If the total weight of all cables on the tower is not an issue, enter a sufficiently large
value in this field (larger than the actual weight of the cables), for example, 3000 lb (1500 kg).
Minimum Required Bend Radius for the Main Cable (in inches)
– This value is important only if
the Main cable will be bent. If this is not an issue, enter a sufficiently large value, for example,
50 inches (130 cm).
Desired TX Power (in dBm)
– This is the level of power that you want to be delivered at the base
of each antenna element.
Desired RX Sensitivity (in dBm)
– This is the level of power at which you want the signal from
the modems to arrive at the base of the antenna elements. This value is defined as the minimum
