device. Stored data can be easily transferred to a PC using the USB or
Ethernet port.

Users can edit file names using the instrument’s rotary knob that
also conveniently functions as an enter button when selecting
alphanumeric characters.

Outdoor display mode

RFoFiber (RFoCPRI/RFoOBSAI)
Modern cell sites have a distributed architecture that replaces
coax-based feeders with fiber-based feeders and, therefore,
significantly reduces signal loss and reflection problems. However,
since all RF interfaces reside on the RRH, any RF maintenance or
troubleshooting requires reaching the tower top to gain access to the
RRH, which increases safety concerns and operational expenses.

The outdoor display mode enables easier reading in direct sunlight

Automatic Measurements
The analyzer’s Auto Measure function affords complete signal profiling
covering RF characterization and modulation quality parameters for
up to 10 different carriers.

Auto Measure can be easily executed so the instrument automatically

configures and tests every aspect for all carriers regardless of their The Viavi Solutions™ RFoFiber reduces risky cell tower climbs

scanner can track on one measurement screen the power levels for
each of 20 carriers operating at different frequencies or
modulation types.

RFoFiber technology enables cell technicians to verify the control signals and extracts the RF (IQ) data transmitted between the BBU and RRH at
the ground without the need to climb the tower. Key benefit of RFoFiber is that it enables monitoring and analyses of mobile terminal (uplink),
PIM detection, as well as the radio’s signal (downlink) interference over a fiber link.

Measurement
Layer 2 Monitoring is an in-service measurement that enables
monitoring of the Layer-1 link maintenance alarms delivered on the
Layer-2 L1 in-band protocol as well as optical power being received.

RFoCPRI – Layer 2 Term

Interference Analyzer
Interference analyzer captures I/Q data from the fiber link and shows
the uplink and downlink spectrum. RFoFiber does not require tower
climbs to locate and identify interference signals present on the
uplink band.

Spectrum Analyzer enables users to see and record the uplink and
downlink spectrum for further analysis later. It provides a more
effective way to observe interference for TDD systems because it
completely separates the uplink signal from downlink.

 Spectrum Replayer enables users to replay a recorded baseband
spectrum achieved over fiber link to better understand the nature of
interference signal under investigation.

RFoOBSAI – Spectrum

Spectrogram captures spectrum and displays it as a waterfall

diagram to identify signal interference easily and quickly. Time cursor
and Marker enable time and frequency tracking for the intermittent

interference signals.

PIM Detection enables PIM detection on the radio system uplink. PIM
detection can be achieved differently based on the number of radios
that share the same RF/coaxial antenna system. Users can easily check
the PIM generated by a single radio occupying wide band or multiple
radios with different frequencies.

BBU Emulation
The BBU emulation function (option 101) lets CellAdvisor emulate as
a baseband unit and performs the necessary functions of a BBU for
testing purposes. This function helps verify the installation of fiber
cabling between the BBU and RRH, the coaxial cabling between the
RRH and antennas, and the spectrum clearance and coverage range of
the cell site.

Channel Scanner Bluetooth and WiFi Connectivity
The Channel Scanner function (option 012) can measure up to Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity (options 006 and 016 respectively)
20 independent channels for any cellular technology at any channel or provide safer and easier long-distance testing with the instrument
frequency. It also shows the power level for each signal type. housed at the top of the tower and controlled remotely via Bluetooth
or Wi-Fi using a USB WiFi dongle. Tests are conveniently made from
the ground. Users can also transfer files from the instrument using
file transfer. They can also tether the instrument to an Android
smartphone or tablet with a data service connection to upload or
download data to the Viavi StrataSync cloud.

Channel Scanner

StrataSync*
The CellAdvisor JD780A-series analyzers are compatible with the Viavi
StrataSync cloud to manage instrument inventory,to locate each piece
of equipment and to identify which engineer is using it. StrataSync
also helps to keep instruments current through remote upgrades to Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity
ensure all instruments have the latest firmware. It also centralizes
configuration setting and distribution to ensure that engineers
are using the same instrument settings to achieve consistent
measurements. Once testing is complete, measurement results can be GPS Receiver and Antenna
uploaded into StrataSync for secure storage and sharing. Engineers The GPS receiver (option 010) gives the location (latitude, longitude,
who are unable to resolve a problem can share measurement results and altitude) and timing for highly-accurate frequency measurements
with an expert to get analysis help from anywhere without having to independently verify base-station timing.
