CDMA LMF Product Description
CDMA LMF is a graphical user interface (GUI) based Local
Maintenance Facility(LMF). This product is specifically designed to
provide cellular communications field personnel the vehicle to support
the following CDMA Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) operations:
Task oriented online help is available in the LMF by clicking on Help
from the menu bar.
Why Optimize?
Proper optimization and calibration assures:
What Is Optimization?
Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.
Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
Optimization compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal
equipment variations. Cables that interconnect the BTS and Duplexer
assemblies (if used), for example, are cut and installed at the time of the
BTS frame installation at the site. Site optimization guarantees that the
combined losses of the new cables and the gain/loss characteristics and
built-in tolerances of each BTS frame do not accumulate, causing
improper site operation.
Optimization identifies the accumulated loss (or gain) for all receive and
transmit paths at the BTS site, and stores that value in a database.
RX path starts at the ancillary equipment frame RFDS RX directional
coupler antenna feedline port, through the RX input port on the rear of
the frame, through the DDRCs, Multicoupler Preselector Card (MPC),
and additional splitter circuitry, ending at a Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA) Channel Processor (C–CCP) backplane Broad Band
Transceiver (BBX2) slot in the C–CCP shelf.
A transmit path starts at the BBX2, through the C–CCP backplane
slot, travels through the LPA/Combiner TX Filter and ends at the rear
of the input/output (I/O) Panel. If the RFDS option is added, then the
TX path continues and ends at the top of the RFDS TX directional
coupler antenna feedline port installed in the ancillary equipment
frame.
1-2
These values are factored in by the BTS equipment internally, leaving
only site specific antenna feed line loss and antenna gain characteristics
to be factored in by the CFE when determining site Effective Radiated
Power (ERP) output power requirements.
SC 4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP – CDMA LMF
PRELIMINARY 2
July 1999
Optimization Overview– continued
Each C–CCP shelf BBX2 board is optimized to a specific RX and TX
antenna port. (One BBX2 board acts in a redundant capacity for BBX2s
1–12, and is optimized to all antenna ports). A single value is generated
for each path, thereby eliminating the accumulation of error that would
occur from individually measuring and summing the gain and loss of
each element in the path.
When to Optimize
New Installations
After the initial site installation, the BTS must be prepared for operation.
This preparation includes verifying hardware installation, initial power
up, and GPS verification. Basic alarm tests are also addressed.
A calibration audit of all RF transmit paths is performed to verify factory
calibration.
A series of ATP CDMA verification tests are covered using the actual
equipment set up. An Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) is also required
before the site can be placed in service.

Required Documents
Site Expansion
Optimization is also required after expansion of a site.
Periodic Optimization
Periodic optimization of a site may also be required, depending on the
requirements of the overall system.
Repaired Sites
Verify repair(s) made to the BTS by consulting an Optimization/ATP
Test Matrix table. This table outlines the specific tests that must be
performed anytime a BTS subassembly or RF cable associated with it is
replaced.

Optimization Overview – continued
Test Equipment Calibration
Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular equipment
service, calibration, and characterization prior to BTS optimization.
Follow the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended
maintenance and calibration schedules closely.
Test Cable Calibration
Equipment test cables are very important in optimization. Motorola
recommends that the cable calibration be run at every BTS with the test
cables attached. This method compensates for test cable insertion loss
within the test equipment itself. No other allowance for test cable
insertion loss needs to be made during the performance of tests.
Another method is to account for the loss by entering it into the LMF
during the optimization procedure. This method requires accurate test
cable characterization in a shop. The cable should be tagged with the
characterization information prior to field optimization.
Equipment Warm–up
Test Equipment List
After arriving at the a site, the test equipment should be plugged in and
turned on to allow warm up and stabilization to occur for as long as
possible. The following pieces of test equipment must be warmed–up for
a minimum of 60 minutes prior to using for BTS optimization or Radio
Frequency Diagnostic Subsystem (RFDS) calibration procedures.
Communications Test Set
Rubidium Time Base
Power Meter
The following pieces of test equipment are required during the
optimization procedure. Common assorted tools like screwdrivers and
frame keys are not listed but are still required. Read the owner’s manual
on all of the following major pieces of test equipment to understand their
individual operation prior to use in optimization.
