exceeds 1.5, it reports standing wave alarm to the baseband unit

Over-temperature alarm

When the temperature of the power amplifier exceeds 85, the

power amplifier unit reports the over-temperature alarm via the
baseband unit, and automatically turns off the power amplifier

Alarm Detection

VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) monitoring: CDU Monitors the

status of antenna system. When the detected standing wave ratio
exceeds the preset threshold (1.5 or 2.5), CDU will generate
corresponding alarms

Low noise amplifier fault alarm: The signal is extracted from the
power supply current of the low noise amplifier. When the current
exceeds a certain level ,alarm signals are generated

Tower-top amplifier alarm: When there is a tower-top amplifier on

service, the CDU monitors the status of tower-top amplifier by its
working current. If the current exceeds a certain level , alarm signals
are generated
