1.1 Introduction The Flexi Multiradio BTS has integrated antenna line supervision in the Radio Module to control the antenna line condition by the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) measurement. The VSWR measurement can be done to a TX/RX branch antenna line only.
1.2 Benefits The antenna line monitoring integrated into the Flexi Multiradio BTS RF Module enables remote supervision of the antenna line without any additional hardware components required. The Flexi Multiradio BTS RF performance is optimized because no jumper cables and extra connectors are needed on the antenna line.
1.3 Functional description
The antenna line supervision is integrated into the RF Module of the Flexi Multiradio BTS, and it measures the reflected RF power of the BTS TX antenna branch, defined as a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) measurement. In the Flexi Multiradio BTS, antenna line supervision is license-based and no additional hardware is required. In case 2TX MIMO is activated in the Flexi Multiradio BTS, both TX/RX antenna lines can be supervised. A separate VSWR alarm is reported from both active TX/RX antenna lines. The VSWR monitoring system is used for producing alarms for the antenna line condition against specified alarm limits. A minor alarm will be generated when the VSWR is 1.9 and a major alarm (cell down) will be generated when the VSWR is 2.6.
