Automated Acceptance Test Procedures – All–inclusive TX & RX

Introduction

The Automated Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) allows Cellular Field
Engineers (CFEs) to run automated acceptance tests on all equipped BTS
subsystem devices using the Local Maintenance Facility (LMF) and
supported test equipment per the current Cell Site Data File (CDF)
assignment.

The results of these tests (at the option of the operator) are written to a
file that can be printed. All tests are controlled from the LMF platform
using the GPIB interface, therefore, only recommended test equipment
supported by the LMF can be used.

This chapter describes the tests run from the GUI environment, which is
the recommended method. The GUI provides the advantages of
simplifying the LMF user interface, reducing the potential for miskeying
commmands and associated parameters, and speeding up the execution
of complex operations involving multiple command strings. If you feel
the command line interface (CLI) will provide additional insight into the
progress of ATPs and problems that could possibly be encountered, refer
to LMF CLI Commands, R15.X (68P09251A59).

IMPORTANT

*

Customer requirements determine which ATP tests to are to be
performed, and the craftsperson selects the appropriate ATP tests to run.

The tests can be run individually or as one of the following groups:

Before performing any tests, use an editor to view the
“CAVEATS” section of the “readme.txt” file in the c:\wlmf
folder for any applicable information.

The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service (OOS)
sectors only.

DO NOT substitute test equipment not supported by the
LMF.

NOTE

Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed information on test set
connections for calibrating equipment, cables and other test
set components, if required.

 All TX: TX tests verify the performance of the BTS transmit line up.

These include the GLI, MCC, BBX, and CIO cards, the LPAs and
passive components including splitters, combiners, bandpass filters,
and RF cables.

 All RX: RX tests verify the performance of the BTS receiver line up.

These include the MPC (for starter frames), EMPC (for expansion
frames), CIO, BBX, MCC, and GLI cards and the passive components
including RX filters (starter frame only), and RF cables.

TX Output Acceptance Tests: Introduction

Individual Acceptance Tests

The following individual tests can be used to verify the results of
specific tests.

Spectral Purity TX Mask (Primary & Redundant BBX)

This test verifies that the transmitted CDMA carrier waveform generated
on each sector meets the transmit spectral mask specification with
respect to the assigned CDF file values.

Waveform Quality (rho)

This test verifies that the transmitted Pilot channel element digital
waveform quality (rho) exceeds the minimum specified value in
ANSI–J_STD–019. “Rho” represents the correlation between actual and
perfect CDMA modulation spectrum. A rho value of 1.0000 represents
100% (or perfect correlation).

4

Pilot Time Offset

The Pilot Time Offset is the difference between the CDMA analyzer
measurement interval (based on the BTS system time reference) and the
incoming block of transmitted data from the BTS (Pilot only, Pilot
Gain = 262, PN Offset = 0).

Code Domain Power (Primary & Redundant BBX)

This test verifies the code domain power levels, which have been set for
all ODD numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This is
done by verifying that the ratio of PILOT divided by OCNS is equal to

10.2 $ 2 dB, and, that the noise floor of all EVEN numbered “OFF”

Walsh channels measures
channel power).

Frame Error Rate

The Frame Error Rate (FER) test verifies RX operation of the entire
CDMA Reverse Link using all equipped MCCs assigned to all
respective sector/antennas. This test verifies the BTS sensitivity on all
traffic channel elements currently configured on all equipped MCCs at
an RF input level of –119 dBm (or –116 dBm if using TMPC).

TX Spectral Purity T ransmit Mask Acceptance Test

Tx Mask Test

This test verifies the spectral purity of each BBX carrier keyed up at a
specific frequency, per the current CDF file assignment. All tests are
performed using the external calibrated test set, controlled by the same
command. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT
(BTS/RFDS) connector.

The Pilot Gain is set to 541 for each antenna, and all channel elements
from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, using
both bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot
channel element only). BBX power output is set to obtain +40 dBm as
measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or RFDS

4

directional coupler).

NOTE

TX output power is set to +40 dBm by setting BTS power
level to +33.5 dBm to compensate for 6.5 dB increase from
pilot gain set to 541.

The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the
attenuation level of all spurious and IM products in a 30 kHz resolution
bandwidth. With respect to the mean power of the CDMA channel
measured in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth in dB, verify that results meet
system tolerances at the following test points:

 1.7/1.9 GHz:

– at least –45 dB @ + 900 kHz from center frequency
– at least –45 dB @ – 900 kHz from center frequency

 800 MHz:

– at least –45 dB @ + 750 kHz from center frequency
– at least –45 dB @ – 750 kHz from center frequency
– at least –60 dB @ – 1980 kHz from center frequency
– at least –60 dB @ – 1980 kHz from center frequency

The BBX then de-keys, and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated.

Pilot Offset Acceptance Test

This test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element Pilot Time Offset
of each BBX carrier keyed up at a specific frequency per the current
CDF file assignment. All tests are performed using the external
calibrated test set controlled by the same command. All measurements
are via the appropriate TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector.

The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each antenna, and all TCH elements from
the MCCs are forward link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, using both
bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot
channel element only, Walsh code 0). BBX power output is set to
40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or
RFDS directional coupler).

The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the Pilot
Time Offset in µs, verifying results meet system tolerances:

 Pilot Time Offset should be within < 3 µs of the target PT

Offset (0 µs).

The BBX then de-keys, and if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated.

TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance Test

Code Domain Power Test

This test verifies the Code Domain Power/Noise of each BBX carrier
keyed up at a specific frequency per the current CDF file assignment.
All tests are performed using the external calibrated test set controlled by
the same command. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT
(BTS/RFDS) connector.

For each sector/antenna under test, the Pilot Gain is set to 262. All MCC
channel elements under test are configured to generate Orthogonal
Channel Noise Source (OCNS) on different odd Walsh codes and to be
assigned a full–rate gain of 81. The maximum number of MCC/CEs to
be tested an any one time is 32 (32 odd Walsh codes). If more than 32
CEs exist, then multiple sets of measurements are made; so all channel

4

elements are verified on all sectors.
BBX power output is set to 40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT

connector (on either the BTS or RFDS directional coupler).
You verify the code domain power levels, which have been set for all

ODD numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This is
done by verifying that Pilot Power (dBm) minus OCNS Power (dBm) is
equal to
measures

10.2 + 2 dB and that the noise floor of all “OFF” Walsh channels
< –27 dB (with respect to total CDMA channel power).

The BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated. Upon completion of the test, OCNS
is disabled on the specified MCC/CE.

RX Frame Error Rate (FER) Acceptance Test

FER Test

This test verifies the BTS FER on all traffic channel elements currently
configured on all equipped MCCs (full rate at 1% FER) at an RF input
level of –119 dBm [or –116 dBm if using Tower Top
Amplifier (TMPC)]. All tests are performed using the external calibrated
test set as the signal source controlled by the same command. All
measurements are via the LMF.

The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each TX antenna, and all channel
elements from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX is keyed
up, using only bbxlvl level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with
pilot channel element only). BBX power output is set to –20 dBm as

4

measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or RFDS
directional coupler). The BBX must be keyed to enable the RX receive
circuitry.

The LMF prompts the MCC/CE under test to measure all zero longcode
and provide the FER report on the selected active MCC on the reverse
link for both the main and diversity RX antenna paths, verifying that
results meet the following specification:

 FER returned less than 1% and total frames measured is 1500

All MCC/CEs selected are tested on the specified RX antenna path. The
BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to assign
the applicable redundant BBX to the current RX antenna paths under
test. The test is then repeated.

Troubleshooting: CSM Checklist

Problem Description

Many of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM) board failures may
be resolved in the field before sending the boards to the factory for
repair. This section describes known CSM problems identified in field
returns, some of which are field-repairable. Check these problems before
returning suspect CSM boards.

Intermittent 19.6608 MHz
Reference Clock/GPS
Receiver Operation

If having any problems with CSM board kit numbers, SGLN1145 or
SGLN4132, check the suffix with the kit number. If the kit has version
“AB”, then replace with version “BC” or higher, and return model “AB”
to the repair center.

No GPS Reference Source

Check the CSM boards for proper hardware configuration. CSM kit
SGLN1145, in Slot l, has an on-board GPS receiver; while kit
SGLN4132, in Slot 2, does not have a GPS receiver. Any incorrectly
configured board must be returned to the repair center. Do not attempt to
change hardware configuration in the field. Also, verify the GPS
antenna is not damaged and is installed per recommended guidelines.

Checksum Failure

GPS Bad RX Message Type

CSM Reference Source
Configuration Error

CSM Kit

No.

Hardware

Configuration

The CSM could have corrupted data in its firmware resulting in a
non-executable code. The problem is usually caused by either electrical
disturbance or interruption of data during a download. Attempt another
download with no interruptions in the data transfer. Return the CSM
board back to the repair center if the attempt to reload fails.

This problem is believed to be caused by a later version of CSM
software (3.5 or higher) being downloaded, via LMF, followed by an
earlier version of CSM software (3.4 or lower), being downloaded from
the CBSC. Download again with CSM software code 3.5 or higher.

C–CCP Backplane Troubleshooting

Introduction

The C–CCP backplane is a multi–layer board that interconnects all the
C–CCP modules. The complexity of this board lends itself to possible
improper diagnoses when problems occur.

Connector Functionality

The following connector overview describes the major types of
backplane connectors along with the functionality of each. This
information allows the CFE to:

 Determine which connector(s) is associated with a specific problem

type.

 Isolate problems to a specific cable or connector.

Primary “A” and Redundant “B” Inter Shelf Bus Connectors

The 40 pin Inter Shelf Bus (ISB) connectors provide an interface bus
from the master GLI2 to all other GLI2s in the modem frame. Their
basic function is to provide clock synchronization from the master GLI2
to all other GLI2s in the frame.

The ISB also provides the following functions:

 Span line grooming when a single span is used for multiple cages.
 MMI connection to/from the master GLI2 to cell site modem.
 Interface between GLI2s and the AMR (for reporting BTS alarms).

Span Line Connector

The span line input is an 8–pin RJ–45 connector that provides a primary
and secondary (if used) span line interface to each GLI2 in the C–CCP
shelf. The span line is used for MM/EMX switch control of the Master
GLI2 and also all the BBX traffic.

Primary “A” and Redundant “B” Reference Distribution
Module Input/Output

The Reference Distribution Module (RDM) connectors route the 3 MHz
reference signals from the CSMs to the GLI2s and all BBXs in the
backplane. The signals are used to phase lock loop all clock circuits on
the GLI2s and BBX boards to produce precise clock and signal
frequencies.

Power Input (Return A, B, and C connectors)

C–CCP Backplane Troubleshooting – continued

Power Supply Module Interface

Each power supply module has a series of three different connectors to
provide the needed inputs/outputs to the C–CCP backplane. These
include a VCC/Ground input connector, a Harting style multiple pin
interface, and a +15 V/Analog Ground output connector. The C–CCP
Power Modules convert +27 or –48 Volts to a regulated +15, +6.5, and
+5.0 Volts to be used by the C–CCP shelf cards. In the –48 V BTS, the
LPA power modules convert –48 Volts to a regulated +27 Volts.

GLI2 Connector

This connector consists of a Harting 4SU digital connector and a
6–conductor coaxial connector for RDM distribution. The connectors
provide inputs/outputs for the GLI2s in the C–CCP backplane.

GLI2 Ethernet “A” and “B” Connections

These BNC connectors are located on the C–CCP backplane and routed
to the GLI2 board. This interface provides all the control and data
communications between the master GLI2 and the other GLI2, between
gateways, and for the LMF on the LAN.

BBX Connector

Each BBX connector consists of a Harting 2SU/1SU digital connector
and two 6–conductor coaxial connectors. These connectors provide DC,
digital, and RF inputs/outputs for the BBXs in the C–CCP backplane.

6

CIO Connectors

 RX RF antenna path signal inputs are routed through RX Tri–Filters

(on the I/O plate), and via coaxial cables to the two MPC modules –
the six “A” (main) signals go to one MPC; the six “B” (diversity) to
the other. The MPC outputs the low–noise–amplified signals via the
C–CCP backplane to the CIO where the signals are split and sent to
the appropriate BBX.

 A digital bus then routes the baseband signal through the BBX, to the

backplane, then on to the MCC slots.

 Digital TX antenna path signals originate at the MCCs. Each output

is routed from the MCC slot via the backplane appropriate BBX.

 TX RF path signal originates from the BBX, through the backplane to

the CIO, through the CIO, and via multi-conductor coaxial cabling to
the LPAs in the LPA shelf.

C–CCP Backplane

DC Power Problems

Perform the procedure in Table 6-22 to troubleshoot a DC input voltage
to power supply module failure.

WARNING

Potentially lethal voltage and current levels are routed to
the BTS equipment. This test must be carried out with a
second person present, acting in a safety role. Remove all
rings, jewelry, and wrist watches prior to beginning this
test.

No DC Input Voltage to Power Supply Module

Table 6-22: No DC Input Voltage to Power Supply Module

Step Action

1 Verify DC power is applied to the BTS frame.
2 Verify there are no breakers tripped.

* IMPORTANT

If a breaker has tripped, remove all modules from the applicable shelf supplied by the breaker and
attempt to reset it.

– If the breaker trips again, there is probably a cable or breaker problem within the frame.
– If the breaker does not trip, there is probably a defective module or sub–assembly within the shelf.

6

3 Verify that the C–CCP shelf breaker on the BTS frame breaker panel is functional.
4 Use a voltmeter to determine if the input voltage is being routed to the C–CCP backplane by

measuring the DC voltage level on the PWR_IN cable.

– If the voltage is not present, there is probably a cable or breaker problem within the frame.
– If the voltage is present at the connector, reconnect and measure the level at the “VCC” power

feed clip on the distribution backplane.

– If the voltage is correct at the power clip, inspect the clip for damage.
5 If everything appears to be correct, visually inspect the power supply module connectors.
6 Replace the power supply module with a known good module.
7 If steps 1 through 5 fail to indicate a problem, a C–CCP backplane failure (possibly an open trace) has

Module Front Panel LED Indicators and Connectors

Module Status Indicators

Each of the non-passive plug-in modules has a bi-color (green & red)
LED status indicator located on the module front panel. The indicator is
labeled PWR/ALM. If both colors are turned on, the indicator is yellow.

Each plug-in module, except for the fan module, has its own alarm
(fault) detection circuitry that controls the state of the PWR/ALM LED.

The fan TACH signal of each fan module is monitored by the AMR.
Based on the status of this signal, the AMR controls the state of the
PWR/ALM LED on the fan module.

PN Offset Programming Information

PN Offset Background

PN Offset Usage

All channel elements transmitted from a BTS in a particular 1.25 MHz
CDMA channel are orthonogonally spread by 1 of 64 possible Walsh
code functions; additionally, they are also spread by a quadrature pair of
PN sequences unique to each sector.

Overall, the mobile uses this to differentiate multiple signals transmitted
from the same BTS (and surrounding BTS) sectors, and to synchronize
to the next strongest sector.

The PN offset per sector is stored on the BBXs, where the corresponding
I & Q registers reside.

The PN offset values are determined on a per BTS/per sector(antenna)
basis as determined by the appropriate cdf file content. A breakdown of
this information is found in Table B-1.

Only the 14–chip delay is currently in use. It is important to determine
the RF chip delay to be able to test the BTS functionality. This can be
done by ascertaining if the CDF file
when the MCC was downloaded with “image data”. The
value is used to compensate for the processing delay (approximately
20 mS) in the BTS using any type of mobile meeting IS–97
specifications.

FineTxAdj value was set to “on”

FineTxAdj

FineTxAdj value in the cdf file is 213 (D5 HEX), FineTxAdj has

If the
been set for the 14 chip table.

IMPORTANT

*

CDF file I and Q values can be represented in DECIMAL
or HEX. If using HEX, add 0x before the HEX value. If
necessary, convert HEX values in Table B-1 to decimal
before comparing them to cdf file I & Q value assignments.

Table C-3 outlines in more detail the tests that would need to be
performed if one of the BTS components were to fail and be replaced. It
is also assumed that all modules are placed OOS–ROM via the LMF
until full redundancy of all applicable modules is implemented.

The following guidelines should also be noted when using this table.

IMPORTANT

*

Not every procedure required to bring the site back on line
is indicated in Table C-3. It is meant to be used as a
guideline ONLY. The table assumes that the user is familiar
enough with the BTS Optimization/ATP procedure to
understand which test equipment set ups, calibrations, and
BTS site preparation will be required before performing the
Table # procedures referenced.

The affected sector/antenna RX
paths.

The affected sector/antenna TX paths.

C-2

Various passive BTS components (such as the TX and RX directional
couplers, Preselector IO, CIO; etc.) only call for a TX or RX calibration
audit to be performed in lieu of a full path calibration. If the RX or TX
path calibration audit fails, the entire RF path calibration will need to be
repeated. If the RF path calibration fails, further troubleshooting is
warranted.

Whenever any C–CCP BACKPLANE is replaced, it is assumed that
only power to the C–CCP shelf being replaced is turned off via the
breaker supplying that shelf.

Whenever any DISTRIBUTION BACKPLANE is replaced it is assumed
that the power to the entire RFM frame is removed and the Preselector
I/O is replaced. The modem frame should be brought up as if it were a
new installation.

NOTE

If any significant change in signal level results from any
component being replaced in the RX or TX signal flow
paths, it would be identified by re–running the RX and TX
calibration audit command.

When the CIO is replaced, the C–CCP shelf remains powered up. The
BBX boards may need to be removed, then re–installed into their
original slots, and re–downloaded (code and BLO data). RX and TX
calibration audits should then be performed.
