Are the RTWP levels constantly high? If yes then you have hardware issue.

If the high RTWP levels come and


go - that can be external interference.

If your 3G site are turn off you noise level should be low if not you have an external interference.
If you have external interference use the spectrum analyzer to meter the noise in 360, take note where you
found the high noise value. Do the same in at least 3 cell sites with high RTWP.
With this information and using triangulation you can discover where is the source of interference.

In case of RTWP occurrence in the UMTS network checking the system against intermodulation should be
done in the first step. The test is very simple - during monitoring RTWP in the observed cell set the
maximum tx power in that cell. When RTWP rises as tx power rises intermodulation is suspected. It can be
either internal or external but it's simple to differentiate it - external interference reacts to the tilt change...
From my experience the most cases of internal intermodulation is due to improper connector fixing corroded surface acts as a mixer. I've also found several cases of external intermodulation - 100% of them
were GSM or/and DCS repeaters with too small attenuation set.
Searching external interference in UMTS network with a spectrum analyzer is tricky to some extent - it isn't
rare the interference is broadband and it's difficult to see it unless the noise floor on the SA display is around
-130 [dBm] or lower so preamplifier should be used along with pass band filter to avoid intermodulation in
the spectrum analyzer alone and false readout in the result.
Update:
In case of RTWP affected cells neighbors list should be also checked. UE connected to other cells can cause
elevated RTWP in case of missing neighbors between these (affected and serving UE) cells, especially with
lower band (e g 900 MHz) UMTS systems.
