FDD WLL
› Uplink band: 1880 -1900 MHz
› Downlink band: 1960 -1980 MHz www.huawei.com
› The bandwidth occupied by the system is 1.25 MHz.
› The EiRP of a typical NodeB is about 25 dBm.
Microwave transmission
› Occupied bandwidth: usually over several MHz.
› Normal reception level of microwave is about -60 dBm, imposing a great impact
on the WCDMA system.
Repeater
› Nonstandard installation results in insufficient antenna isolation, thus self-
excitation. This affects normal running of the NodeB where the repeater is
installed.
› The repeater is a wide-band non-linear amplifier. Its intermodulation index
www.huawei.com
exceeds the one specified in the protocol. The repeater easily causes
interference to nearby NodeBs when its power is too large.
Others
› Some communication devices occupy WCDM bands. Unreasonable installation
and isolation result in high harmonic signals and thus cause interference to the
WCDMA system. In addition, radar is also a common interference source.
Spectrum analyzer
› A spectrum analyzer is used to test frequency domain features of signals,
covering spectrum, adjacent channel power, fast time domain scanning,
spurious radiation and intermodulation attenuation.
› Key indexes
» Resolution bandwidth (RBW)
» Input frequency and central frequency (F0)
» Sensitivity
» Span

» Reference level (RefLvl)
» Video filter bandwidth (VBW)
» Input signal attenuation (ATT)
» Detection mode (RMS)
» Sweep time
4.1 Preparations
» Perform a drive test, drive the vehicle slowly along the main streets covered by a
cell and then stop the vehicle for further test when detecting the interference.

Searching interference
› Search interference within the uplink band and then within the downlink band.
› Specific operations: www.huawei.com
» Enter the YBT250 spectrum test interface and set Fo and Span.
» Fill in the record table, save data files, and check whether there is interference.
› Judge rule: whether there is interference waveform higher than the noise floor.
Interference confirmation
› During interference search, if there is interference, conduct a interference
confirmation test. Specific steps are as follows:
» Enter the interface for measuring YBT250 NodeB test information, and set Fo to a
central frequency point near interference, Span to 3 × interference bandwidth,
and Channel Bandwidth to 4 M.
» Read the in-band interference power, fill in the record table, and save the data file.
In-band test
› For the customer pilot, test the in-band power for all the candidate channels.
For commercial offices, focus on testing the in-band power for thewww.huawei.com
available
channels. Specific steps are as follows:
» Enter the interface for measuring YBT250 NodeB test information, and
set Fo to a central frequency point of the testing channel, Channel
Bandwidth to 5 M, and Span to 3 × interference bandwidth.
» Read the in-band power, fill in the record table, and save the data file.
Testing system
› Antenna gain: 3 dBi
› Feeder loss: 1 dB
› Measured interference level: -90 dBm
WCDMA system
› Gain of the NodeB antenna: 10 dBi
› Feeder loss: 2 dB www.huawei.com
Answer
The WCDMA system is a broadband
system. Therefore, you need to
calculate the integral power of the
interference level within the
channel bandwidth.
› RBW of the testing system: 10 KHz
› Interference level within the RBW: -80 dBm
› Channel bandwidth: 3.84 MHz www.huawei.com
› Integral power within the channel:
P = -80 + 10LOG(3.84*106/10*103) = -54dBm

Measurement
› YBT250 supports the following three
measurement functions:
» NodeB information measurement
» Spectrum test
» Interference source search
Measurement
› The spectrum mode is used for real-time measurement.
» Determine the band to be tested and set Fo.
» Modify the span.
» Observe the spectrum diagram, adjust the Fo and span, and view whether there is
interference.
» The Trace menu includes the following options:
– Normal, Max Hold, Min Hold and Max/Min Hold
www.huawei.com
» Save the current spectrum diagram.
Note: You need to set RefLvl correctly to make the measured signal level
range from RefLvl to (RefLvl-70dB). The difference of the maximum level and
minimum of level that the YBT250 can correctly display is 70 dB.
Measurement
The spectrogrum mode is used to check
whether there is interference at a certain band
in a specified time. The horizontal axis stands
for the band and the vertical axis for the time.
Specific operations:
» Set the automatic storage option and a file name.
» Set the band (Fo and span).
» Open the saved file and view interference.
www.huawei.com
To view the exact interference, you can export
the file as:
» A picture
» Data (.txt,.csv)
» Export the data from YBT250 using the U disk or
network cable.
Measurement setting
» Fo: the central frequency of the testing signal (unit: MHz)
» Span: It can be set to 100 MHz, 10 MHz or 5 MHz.
» RBW: It is automatically set by the instrument according to the span.
» MaxHold/Average: display the maximum value and the average value.
» RefLvl: set according to the interference level.
