ION M Input Level Commissioning

The document outlines the commissioning process for the ION-M system, detailing the necessary steps to ensure all Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) are operational with appropriate output power. It includes guidelines for adjusting input power levels, loss calculations, and the required input levels for different GSM bands. Additionally, it provides instructions for setting addresses in the System Resource Management Unit (SRMU) for proper configuration.

6. Commissioning

• For commissioning work all the BTS should be up and running with
their dedicated output power.
• For GSM systems the BCCH channel is then used to adjust the input
power to the SRMU
• For modulation that do not have a BCCH with constant power, loss
levelling is used.

6. Commissioning

• This chapter describes the work to


be done to set up a new system,
first installation.
• instead the OTRX a levelling
adaptor has to be installed. Here
you can connect your spectrum
analyser to set the correct input
level at the variable attenuators.

6. Input combiner with IPP current version

• This module provides


additional 15 dB attenuation
in case input power level
exceeds a specific value
• variable attenuators are
used to set correct input
level into SRMU according
the following table.

6. Input level required (min)
• This table shows the required input level;
during the planning process it has to be
ensured that
Required level depending on optimization

– the power of the BTS is sufficient Port

– the losses of the cable, combining and PIN: NF optimized = IICP optimized Pout per carrier
splitting are not too high
-6 dBm / carrier @ 4 carriers 37 dBm
– that the input power to combiners and -9 dBm / carrier @ 8 carriers 34 dBm
splitter does not exceed the rated GSM900
-12 dBm / carrier @ 16 carriers 31 dBm
values
• The input level to be set at the variable
attenuators depends on band – -6 dBm / carrier @ 4 carriers 34 dBm
frequency, number of carriers and the -9 dBm / carrier @ 8 carriers 31 dBm
type of RU connected, etc. GSM1800
-12 dBm / carrier @ 16 carriers 28 dBm

• The table shows the input power


required for a standard ION-M
9/18P/21P – RU. For other types of RU
it is different. Please refer to the manual
37 dBm
-6 dBm / carrier @ 4 carriers
34 dBm
for detailed information.
UMTS -9 dBm / carrier @ 8 carriers
31 dBm
-12 dBm / carrier @ 16 carriers
• These levels have be archived in order
to get required output power from RU

pressing „set / select“ until
correct reading is shown.
