the uplink interference and get
the network back up and runnin
.
Solving the problem
Using FieldFox’s built-in spectrum analyzer the consultant was easily able to perform a
spectrum scan that detected interference in the site’s uplink. The interference analyzer’s fast
sweep quickly identifi ed intermittent interference generated by GSM signals. With the help
of the spectrogram and waterfall displays, the consultant was able to monitor the system
over a long period of time to fi nd the intermittent signals. FieldFox’s cable and antenna
analyzer helped identify faults along the feedline. This enabled the consultant to uncover
a damaged fi lter that was causing poor system return loss which was contributing to the
network’s coverage issues. FieldFox enabled the consultant to uncover and resolve multiple
network problems quickly and easily in a single visit.
Results
After replacing the fi lter and re-tuning the network, the consultant was able to get the base
station back up and running within a day. He also used FieldFox to monitor the site for an addi-
tional two weeks to ensure the site was running smoothly and providing uninterrupted service.
