Cable test is first understanding for any RF Engineer here i write how to test cable integrity and
Cable loss and testing of Transmitter in gsm.
Cable Integrity Test
A good known cable is connected from the test transmitter to the wattmeter.
The cable under test is placed between the wattmeter & 50 Ohms load.
Forward and reverse power levels are measured and VSWR can be calculated as ,
Each cable should be checked and any that exhibit greater than 1.2 : 1 VSWR must be
replaced.
Cable integrity check must be performed on all jumpers and antenna feedlines.
Cable Loss
All cables used for testing must be measured and clearly labelled with insertion loss before
they are used.
These are normal wear items and so it is important to replace any cables that become kinked
or frayed or that are worn or damaged connectors.
Step 1 Test
Record reading A
Step 2 Test
Record reading B.
Transmitter Setup
If the propagation test is being done for model tuning to produce a generic model for macro
cells, then a high point in the particular area has to be selected.
The transmitter and the transmit antenna will be placed at this point (say the roof of the
building ).
A test frequency has to selected from the frequency band allocated to the operator. Set the
transmitter to this test frequency.
