Note: Report any problems to the installation group in order to solve the problem before the
Commissioning.
7.2.
Fuse/Breaker for Main DC power distribution
It is fundamental to verify that the installed Fuses/Breakers used on the PDB (Power Distribution Box) meet
the consumption of the SRT 1F. Note that the value of the system consumption depends on the type of shelf
and system type, refer to the installation manual (UMN) for the proper consumption value.
Open the cover of PDB and check, if the Breaker meets the required specification.
(Next image is given only for reference).
Breaker Visual check

Verify also that the Power supply DC cables meet the system specification.
It is recommended to use a 1x10 mm2 for the connection between PDB and UIA Block.
7.3.
DC power supply check
After the visual inspection of the installation verify the proper incoming DC Power Supply at SRT 1F Rack.
This procedure lists the steps required to check the incoming power supply to the SRT 1F + shelf.
Turn OFF all Fuse/Breakers on the units and shelves.

Turn ON the main power supply from the DC Main distribution Box.
With a Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) or equivalent, confirm that the voltage on the Power Supply Terminal of UIA block is 48 V nominal and in the nominal tolerance accepted by the equipment.

Warning
Due that the Positive poles on the Power supply are also the ground
reference, when you measure the DC voltage pay attention to the connection
of Multimeter.
Normally, if you connect the Common port of multimeter (Black cable) on the
ground or Positive voltage and the measurement port on the Negative voltage
(Red Cable), the measured values are negative:

Connecting the PC to the NE
Connect your PC to a LAN port on the SV (Supervisory) card (unit) in SCSU (Supervisory, Control &
Switching Unit) shelf of the target NE (Network Element). Normally, crossover cable should be used for the
connection, if you want to connect the PC to the NE directly. The SV card (unit) supports both 10Base-T and
100Base-T Ethernet connection. It is recommended to use CAT5 (Category 5) UTP (Un-shielded Twisted
Pair) crossover cable for the connection. There are two Ethernet ports on the SV card (unit), and they are
connected to a HUB internally. Therefore, you can use whichever you like better.
The figure shows the connection between the PC and the NE.

MW LINK ANTENNA ALIGNMENT
For a reliable microwave link between two terrestrial radio sites, a correct antennas alignment is
fundamental.
Parabolic microwave antennas can be aligned using either a customer supplied radio, independent path
alignment transceiver set or other properly tools and test instrument related to the equipment specifications.
Microwave antennas must be accurately positioned on true azimuth and be absolutely level before
beginning path alignment. Most alignment difficulties are the result of incorrect azimuth position or
inadequate leveling.
Target of antennas alignment is to adjust properly the direction of both antennas (site A and B), in order to
obtain the Calculate (Nominal) Power receive in both sites.
For more information and procedure for antenna adjustment, refer to the document 909-033/52.
In additional to the above mentioned procedure in order to start the alignment, it is important to set the
ATPC feature in manual mode, with the maximum Power transmission vale (High setting value).
Select Provisioning > RSPI & UC & RPS.

Click on the Edit RSPI button
Select the MSTU and select High in the TPC field.

Verify if the installed elements matches with the RF planning form, in particular regarding the antenna
diameter, frequency band, WG type / length and other additional element.
If some of the above mentioned elements are not included in the RF Planning form, it is necessary to review
the data for the Rx power level calculation.
9.1.
Antenna Alignment summarized steps
Align the antenna both in vertical and horizontal planes according to the site drawings. (Elevation
angle will have to be calculated from the height above sea level.) If site data is not available, adjust
the antenna for zero elevation.
Pan the antenna in the horizontal plane and have a second party check the RX or AGC voltage (or
using a spectrum analyzer/Power meter) for the distant sites signature. When the signature is detected, pan the antenna through the peak signal level and locate the first minimal to the left and right
of the peak.
Note the number of turns of the adjusting screw between the minimal, actual peak signal is
EXACTLY half way between the two minimal.
Pan the antenna in the vertical plane in the same steps as above, then lock the antenna panning
bars and secure.
9.2.
AGC Monitoring
It is suggested to connect and monitor the AGC Voltage on the Work 1 channel (W1 CH) Main/SD receiver
The AGC is monitored through the connector UIA block for antenna alignment and future troubleshooting.
For the connector position refer to the UMN manual.

Test Procedure:
1. On the remote side activate only one MSTU on a reference polarization (e.g. Vertical)
2. Set the MSTU (on the remote side) to transmit only the CW signal.
3. On the local side, connect a spectrum analyzer to the horizontal waveguide, and measure the relevant Prx value; memorize the trace on the spectrum analyzer.
4. Disconnect the Spectrum Analyzer from the horizontal waveguide and connect the test instrument
on the vertical waveguide, and measure the relevant Prx value on the second trace.
5. Measure the difference between the signal on the same Polarization and the cross polarization.
6. The level difference should be at least about 30 dB below the received signal of the vertical polarization.
7. If the value is less than 27 dB, rotate the feed point on the antenna (at the local and remote sites) to
achieve maximum cross polar discrimination.
8. Note: the discrimination ratio depends on the antenna specifications (i.e. HPX10-44D is grater than
30 dB.).
9. Lock the feed mounting hub after achieving maximum cross polar discrimination.
10. Repeat the test for both polarizations for both stations.

Return Loss Feeder Check.
This measurement is one of the most important tests in order to evaluate, if the antenna and WG connection
are properly installed and connected.
Note that if the result of the test is lower than the minimal specification, it is possible to have an high value of
residual BER on the system with a worsening of the link quality.
In field this test is applied on the WG and antenna.
In order to understand the tests (and the relevant test instruments) it is important to define the difference
between the Return Loss Test (normally applied in field) and VSWR.
The reflection can be estimated by the reflection coefficient, which is the ratio of the reflected wave
voltage (current) to the incident wave voltage (current). The Reflection coefficient has a magnitude and
phase and can be represented by complex numbers.
Another parameter for reflection is the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). VSWR is defined from the
magnitude of reflection coefficient and, therefore, does not have a phase.
Return loss compares the power in the reflected wave with that in the forward wave. The unit for return loss
is decibel. Return loss can be calculated from VSWR and vice-versa.
Return Loss: This is the dB value of the absolute reflection coefficient.
It is a curious concept of the transmission engineering. This loss value becomes 0 for 100% reflection and
becomes infinite for an ideal connection (requested minimal value, higher than 23 dB for WG with antenna).
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR): this is the ratio of maximum voltage to minimum voltage in
standing wave pattern.
It varies from +1 to infinite.
Both VSWR and Return Loss are a measurement of the divergence of a microwave device from a perfect
impedance match, for example, 50 ohm (RF impedance used in MW).
They are mathematically interchangeable and result from scalar measurements, which are required for a
number of reasons; the relations between the both values are defined by the following formula:
Return Loss and VSWR Formula conversion

Where: RL=Return Loss
= Reflection Coefficient
Note also that there are different test equipment (and related tests bench) applicable for this test, in this
procedure we provide the measurement with two typical test benches:

Adaptor and Calibration Kit for Site Master
Test Procedure:
The test port interface to the waveguide under test is a small coaxial-to-waveguide adapter rather than a
bulky precision coupler.
The calibration components include two offset shorts,1/8 and 3/8 wavelength, and a precision load. The two
offset shorts eliminate reference error suffered by scalar systems, when only a single waveguide short is
used to determine the 0.0 dB reflection reference level.
For calibration phase of the test instrument, connect before the related RF cable and Cable/WG adaptor,
then apply the internal calibration procedure require from test instrument.
Step 1. Select the appropriate frequency range

Step 2. Press the START CAL key to start the calibration.
Step 3. Select the Waveguide soft key. The Waveguide Flange Selection menu will appear, with the
Start Calibration function highlighted. Check if the correct DUT waveguide is selected from the list in
the menu. The selected waveguide flange type is marked by the symbol (*) and is also displayed at
the bottom of the screen.
Step 4. If the correct DUT waveguide is selected, proceed with the calibration (go to Step 5). To
choose a different waveguide, use the Up/Down arrow keys to highlight the desired waveguide.
Press the ENTER key to select the new waveguide flange and go to its configuration listing, which
lists the lengths of the calibration 1/8th and 3/8th Offset Shorts as well as the waveguide Cutoff Frequency.
To choose a different waveguide, go back to the previous menu (use the Up/Down arrow key to
highlight Waveguide Flange Selection and press the ENTER key). Otherwise, proceed with the
calibration.
Step 5. Press the ENTER key or the Start Cal soft key to start the calibration. The message Connect 1/8 OFFSET SHORT to RF Out Port will appear in a message box.
Step 6. Connect the required 1/8 offset short component and press the ENTER key. After several
seconds of measurements and calculations, the message Connect 3/8 OFFSET SHORT to RF Out
Port will appear.
Step 7. Remove the 1/8 offset short, connect the required 3/8 offset short component and press the
ENTER key. The message Connect LOAD to RF Out Port will appear.
Step 8. Remove the 3/8 offset short, connect the required calibrated Termination component and
press the ENTER key. An audible tone will sound when the calibration is complete.
Step 9. Verify that the calibration has been properly performed by checking that the Cal ON message is now displayed in the upper left corner of the display.
Step 10. Connect the device under test and measure the return loss.
Note that some calibration and measurement steps must be different related to the model of Site master,
refer in any case to the User Guide of test instrument for the proper Calibration and measurement
procedure.

LINK TESTS AND MEASURE
11.1.
IF-IF Test Basics
All the IF-IF tests are intended to measure and adjust the IF-IF characteristics during the normal
propagation condition in order to detect any sort of flaws on the antenna and/or waveguide system and to
equalize a proper IF-IF response on the link.
Note that if the result of the test is lower than the minimal specification or if it is not applied, it is possible to
have an higher value of residual BER on the system with a worsening of the link quality.
It is possible to identify this type of adjustment in two basic modes:
a) IF Frequency Response and Group Delay for each single channel.
b) Space Diversity Equalization.
If the link is without space diversity, operate only the first one.
If the MW Link is with diversity, it is necessary to adjust the IF Frequency Response and Group Delay for
Main and Diversity receiver in single mode (Main with diversity disconnected and Diversity with main
disconnected), and then operate with Space diversity Delay and Amplitude equalization in order to optimize
the response between Main and diversity.
It is recommended to perform the following tests with a Prx value of about <-50dBm and with a
stable propagation condition without fading.
If the Rx power is higher than 50 dBm, set the Transmitter ATPC in Tx Low level.
In the following chapters we analyze each test in independently mode, but note that in particular for diversity
system all of them are correlated.

This step is fundamental in case of system with Space diversity, in order to equalize the amplitude of
different path introduced by the diversity.
The test bench used for this measurement is the same bench used for IF-IF response tests (Group Delay
and IF amplitude), but it is necessary to introduce in the system (via sw and front panel setting on the MSTU
unit) a particular application called DADE (Differential Absolute Delay Equalizer) to activate an internal
oscillation from Main and Diversity Channel.
The adjustment of the absolute delay is performed by using a front panel (MSTU) jumper and the amplitude
equalization is performed by using the WebLT.

13. To display the two tracks on the Rx link analyzer turn the ITEM No. rotary switch in position 0
and after than in position B again. The difference between the 2 tracks displayed represents
the delay between the Main and Diversity received signals (due to the waveguide path difference).
Verify that the delay difference displayed on the Microwave Link Analyzer is less than 2 ns.
(see next figure for a example).
14. If the delay difference is not less than 2 ns, change the delay line with SD DADE jumpers so as to
achieve the difference of 2 ns. The green jumpers are used to introduce the delay on the Diversity
path.
The green jumper in default position (vertical) does not introduce delay; put it in the horizontal
position to introduce the delay. Please refer to the above reference picture or to the UMN manual for
more detailed information.

BER vs Receiver.
Purpose of this test is to verify the proper BER threshold of Receiver equipment.
Note that in order to apply this test is required a link with a stable propagation condition without any type of
interference (external signal, reflection etc).
Basically the test is performed with a variable attenuator on Rx side only, but in case of SD system, in order
to verify the diversity improvement, the variable attenuator could be inserted in Tx side.
Note that in particular in this condition some effects of the external interferences are detected and the test
result could be not compliant (cause external interference and not the equipment specification).

Note that it is suggested to use 2 SDH BER tests, because if the measure is applied with a remote STM 1
loop, in case of High BER detected on the remote side, these errors increase the BER result on the local
side.
Test Procedure:
To perform this test the variable attenuator could be inserted in TX side or RX side.
Note that by attenuating on Rx side only the MSTU unit is tested; instead by attenuating on Tx side also the
presence of RF interferences is considered in the measurement.
In presence of interfering system verify that the measured value complies with the expected one.
Note that the test result curves are inserted in the UMN manual or in a document enclosed in the Field
commissioning test sheet collection.
The Rx values are referred to two the points, called A and B;
Point A refers to the input of MSTU unit.

Point B refers to the input of Branching filter.

Link quality evaluation
Purpose of this test is to verify that the quality improvement of the MW link meets the Quality (G.826)
parameter defined by the MW Planning.
Two types of tests are requested:
Short Term, to check only the BER functionality of each channel/MSTU present in the system
Long Term, to check the G.826 Quality improvement on one channel selected by the customer.
Note that the proper G.826 Quality tests need an SDH BER Test Instrument in both end terminals, but if the
Short term performance dont detect any particular problem, it is possible to apply the test with a remote
loop. In case of problems it is mandatory a single channel analysis with two test instruments.
The measurement time should be in accordance with the customer requirements (normally 12h).
If the measurement is not OK, remove the base band loop and connect to the radio equipment another SDH
BER Analyzer. This operation is helpful to locate the critical direction.
Caution
If there is any particular sync. configuration between MW equipment and
test instrument, it is possible to detect some Pointer Adjustments by the
test instrument.
This type of detection is normal, because the equipment is with MST.
In some particular cases it is suggested to synchronize the radio
equipment with the STM1 signal generated in the SDH test instrument
(for this application is requested a test instrument with S1 capabilty)
It is also suggested to perform the test at the DDF (Digital distribution Frame), in order to verify also the
STM1 cabling between the equipment and the DDF.
For the test configure the basic parameters of the test instrument with the following data:
STM-1 signal - VC4 unframed - 140 M/s payload
