Maintenances and Managements formula: -Loss) = 51.7dBm-(P -Loss) down On the assumption that the output power of BTS is 20W (43dBm), the cable loss is 3dB, and then the proper gain setting is: -Loss) = 51.7dBm-(43dBm-3dB) = 11.7dB down To avoid the over-power alarms of the booster, set the gain 1dB low, so for the above example, the PA gain is set to10dB. - Page 34 Maintenances and Managements P1=43dBm Channel 1 Tx/Rx PA Gain Setting Loss=3dB Gdown=8dB Combiner BTS0 ANT0 Booster output power Outdoor Booster Channel 2 Tx/Rx Pout=51dBm P2=43dBm Loss=3dB BTS1 ANT1 TMA Gain Setting P2=43dBm Booster input power Channel 3 Tx/Rx Gup=8~12dB Pin=43dBm 4 channels combination: PA gain setting G =8dB down...
