Panel Procedure
Overview
Assuming the equipment has been installed and you have performed the calibration verification,
if the results were erroneous this Single Antenna Test will not be valid. It is important to
complete those two steps successfully before continuing.
For this test you will need two people. One person will verify the reception (Rx) of each antenna
using the Constellation Debugger Tool and a Modem. The following summarizes what will
happen during this test:
1. Person A will stay where the BTS or EMS is located. This person will control each PA in
the BTS to be tested.
2. Person B will be in the field. This person will pick a complete Line of Sight (LOS) test
point to the RFS (antenna). Person B will use the Constellation Debugger software
supplied by Navini. This software allows the tester to verify functionality.
3. Once the two people are in place, start by turning all antennas off except for Antenna #1.
NOTE: It does not matter which antenna you start with as long as the tester can keep
track of which ones have been tested and each one’s results.
4. With only one antenna powered on, Person B verifies the transmission, modulation, and
signal strength of the single antenna. Person B verifies this information for at least 30
seconds.
5. When the first antenna is checked, Person A saves the file and waits for Person B to
power on Antenna #2.
6. Steps 3 through 5 are repeated for each antenna element.
Details
The following provides more detail for each step, and includes snapshots of what to change and
what to measure.
Step 1. After calibration verifications are successful, in EMS click on the BTS tab and
highlight the specific BTS. Go to Air Interface > Layer 1, and click on the
Antenna Table tab (Figure S1). This window will show all antennas and their PA
status.
