Step 6. The marker value should be equal to the RFS Only Rx insertion loss within +/– 2.0 dB,
per the manufacturer’s data. If the insertion loss results do not agree with the
manufacturer’s data, check the test setup.
Caution: An RFS with results greater than the +/– 2.0 dB limits should not be installed,
as a potential hardware fault exists. Contact Navini Networks Technical Support.
Step 7. Record the data in the RFS System Test Form under “RFS RX PATH LOSS (RFS
ONLY)”. Ensure that the information is recorded under the channel number that is on
the RFS antenna that is being tested.
Step 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the remaining seven antenna inputs on the RFS.
Step 9. Change the frequency to the next test frequency (refer back to Test Setup). Perform
steps 1 through 8 until the RFS has been successfully tested at the frequencies shown in
Table O4.
RFS & Cables Transmit Verification
This test is performed after the RFS is installed and the antenna cables, calibration cable, and
power/data cable are connected to the inputs on the RFS.
Step 1. Ensure calibration of the test setup and RFS Test Box setup for RFS and cables has
been performed each time the test frequency is changed.
Step 2. Switch the RFS Test Box to the Transmit (Tx) mode.
Step 3. Connect the cable from the Spectrum Analyzer to the RFS calibration cable connector.
Use a barrel connector to change the gender, if required.
Step 4. Connect the cable from the Signal Generator to the RFS antenna cable number 1
connector. Use a barrel connector to change the gender, if required.
Step 5. Take a marker measurement on the Spectrum Analyzer by using the ‘marker to peak’
or the ‘peak search’ function. The screen on the Spectrum Analyzer should look similar
to the one shown in Figure O11.
