Without coverage and capacity, mobile communication falters, and quality installation must be employed at mobile cell sites to ensure high performance. Macro towers and in-building DAS solutions require proper installation of antennas, cables, connectors, and other in-line components. The return loss and Passive Intermodulation (PIM) measurements are crucial techniques that verify quality installation of cellular networks. This course provides you with a technical understanding of various line sweeping measurements, including return loss, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), Distance-To-Fault (DTF), insertion loss, and PIM. The curriculum will provide step-by-step procedures for efficient cell site troubleshooting and an introduction to measurement units and required hardware for cell site technicians and tower climbers.
In today’s ever-evolving wireless landscape, the foundations of cellular communications are often overlooked. In this course, we’ll study the basic principles of Radio Frequency (RF) theories and how they apply to today’s cellular systems. After reviewing these principles, we’ll focus on the practicalities of how cell sites are designed, the hardware components found at a…
