This document provides information pertaining to the optimization and
audit tests of the Motorola SC4812ET Lite RF Base Transceiver Station
(BTS) equipment frame and its associated internal and external
interfaces. The following subjects are addressed: preliminary background
information; optimization, and alarm/redundancy tests; Acceptance Test
Procedures (ATP) to verify site operation and regulation compliance; site
turnover; troubleshooting.
Most applications use the same test procedure for all equipment
variations. However, decision break points are provided throughout the
procedure when equipment–specific tests are required. For example,
when tests using external test equipment are performed instead of those
using the RFDS, additional test procedures and illustrations are provided
to cover both applications.
This optimization procedure consists of a group of task-oriented tests.
Each major test category (Audit, Initial power–up, Calibration tests, etc.)
is described in chapters which are broken down into multi-page “maps.”
1
Assumptions and Prerequisites
Each “map” typically consists of pages containing all the information
necessary to perform the test (including all required input levels, output
levels, CDMA Local Maintenance Facility (CDMA LMF) commands,
and test points required). Also described are some of the main concepts
you must understand in the test process. Whenever possible, graphics,
flowcharts, or other examples complement the information/steps.
This document assumes that the BTS frames and cabling have been
installed per the Frame Mounting Guide Analog/CDMA/TDMA;68P09226A18, which covers the physical “bolt down” of all SC series
equipment frames, and the SC4812ET Lite Installation; 68P09253A36,
which covers BTS–specific cabling configurations.

Purpose of the Optimization
Why Optimize?
What Is Optimization?
What Happens During
Optimization
1
Proper optimization and calibration ensures that:
S Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.
S Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
Optimization compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal
equipment variations. 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 and cause improper site
operation.
Optimization identifies the accumulated loss (or gain) for each receive
and transmit path at the BTS site, and stores these values in a database.
S A receive path (RX) starts at the Duplexer Directional Coupler
(DRDC) or Transmit & Receive Dual Directional Coupler (TRDC)
antenna feedline port and travels through the DRDC/TRDC, the
Multi–coupler Preselector Card (MPC) and additional splitter
circuitry, ending at a Broad Band Transceiver (BBX) backplane slot in
the Small CDMA Channel Processor (SCCP) shelf.
S A transmit path (TX) starts at the SCCP shelf BBX backplane slot, is
routed to the Linear Power Amplifier (LPA) Trunking Module,
through the LPAs, back through the LPA Trunking Module, through
the bandpass filter or 2–cavity combiner, and ends at the
DRDC/TRDC antenna feedline port.
Six of the seven BBX2 boards in each SCCP shelf are optimized to
specific RX and TX antenna ports. The seventh BBX2 board acts in a
redundant capacity for BBX2 boards 1 through 6, and is optimized to all
antenna ports. A single value is generated for each complete 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.
BTS equipment factors in these values 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.

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, downloading of operating code, verifying GPS operation and
verifying transmit and receive paths.
Next, the optimization is performed. Optimization includes performance
verification and calibration of all transmit and receive RF paths, and
download of accumulated calibration data.
A calibration audit of all RF transmit paths may be performed any time
after optimization to verify BTS calibration.
After optimization, a series of manual pre–Acceptance Test Procedure
(ATP) verification tests are performed to verify alarm/redundancy
performance.
After manual pre–ATP verification tests, a series of ATPs are performed
to verify BTS performance. An ATP is also required before the site can
be placed in service.
Site Expansion
Periodic Optimization
Repaired Sites
Optimization is also required after expansion of a site with additional,
interconnected BTS frames.
Periodic optimization of a site may also be required, depending on the
requirements of the overall system.
IMPORTANT
*
Refer to Appendix B for a detailed FRU Optimization/ATP
Test Matrix outlining the minimum tests that must be
performed any time a BTS subassembly or RF cable
associated with it is replaced.
