First Steps
• Best Practices
– Take photos!
– Be prepared
– Ensure E-UTRAN support is available
– Notify relevant parties based on customer procedures
• Visual Inspection
– Make sure nothing immediately looks incorrect
– Trace the RU-DUL cables to ensure there are no swaps
– Ensure the RU-DUL cables have a good connection
– Check small QMA wave guide for damage and ensure
connection
Photos
• Take a photo of the site label to identify
pictures

Common Issues
• Sector Swaps
• DL or UL throughput low
• Bad or no coverage
• Azimuth incorrect
Sector Swaps
• Causes
– RU-DUL cables
– Jumpers from cabinet to diplexer
– Jumpers from diplexer to antenna feeders
– Antenna feeders to antennas
– CDMA incorrect
– Do not trust colors on cables
• Troubleshooting Steps
– E-UTRAN lock test
– Cable tracing
E-UTRAN Lock Test
• Procedure
– Have E-UTRAN lock a single sector
– Verify the reference signal transmit light
stops blinking
– Repeat for each sector
• Conclusion
– Ensures that the DUL is configured
correctly
– Verifies there is no RU-DUL cable swap
E-UTRAN Lock Test
• Blinking
– Transmittin

• No Light
– Locked
Antenna Jumper check
• Verify all cables match colors in plumbing
diagrams
• Non-diplex site
– Trace the antenna jumpers from the RUL to the
back of the cabinet
– Trace the antenna jumpers from the cabinet to
the antenna feeders
• Diplex site
– Trace the antenna jumpers from the RUL to the
back of the cabinet
– Trace the antenna jumpers from the cabinet to
the diplexer
– Trace the antenna jumpers from the diplexer to
Antenna Jumper Check

DL or UL throughput low
• Causes
– Backhaul
– Antenna system and jumpers
– Hardware problems with RU-DUL
• Troubleshooting Steps
– Dummy Load Test
– Feeder Sweeps
– E-UTRAN support
Dummy Load test
• Procedure
– Trace the power connector to the RUL and turn it of
– Detach the antenna jumpers from the RUL
– Connect the attenuators to the RUL
– Connect the dummy antennas to the attenuators
– Power on the RUL
– Have EUTRAN unlock the target sector and lock all other
sectors
– Place the UE near the dummy antennas
– Upload and download a file and record a TEMS log
• Conclusion
– Eliminates or identifies antenna system cause of problem
Dummy Load Test

Feeder Sweeps
• Tests
– Voltage Standing Wave Ratio
– Return Loss
– Distance to Fault
– Covered in a diferent guide
• Conclusion
– Determines if there are problems in the antenna system
E-UTRAN support
• Procedure
– Connect to the cell (dummy load or
otherwise)
– Download or upload a file
– Have E-UTRAN monitor the node
• Conclusion
– Determines if there is a configuration
problem or a problem in the backhaul
Bad or No Coverage
• Causes
– Antenna System
– Jumpers not connected
– Hardware problems with RU-DUL
(damaged connectors)
• Troubleshooting Steps
– Ensure all connectors are tightly secured
– Dummy Load Test
– Feeder Sweeps
Incorrect Azimuth
Troubleshooting Steps
– Drive Test
– Visual inspection of antenna direction
