Antenna System Test
Objectives

Measure Distance To Fault (DTF) and Standing Wave


Ratio (SWR), used to verify the antenna system
installation and also feeder measure, based on
instructions in the Installation Manual of each RBS
operating Anritsu Site Master.

ƒ Briefly describe and configure the ANRITSU Site Master;


ƒ Understand how to perform the DTF and SWR tests;
ƒ Perform preventive maintenance on the antenna system.

DTF (Distance to Fault) Test

The purpose of the Distance To Fault (DTF) test is to


verify that there are no bad connections or other
faults in the feeder system.

Standing Wave Ratio SWR
The purpose of the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) test is
to verify the antenna system when it is completely
installed. The test verifies that the SWR is not too high
and that the signal is not reflected back into the RBS.

- Configuration with no TMAs
