A Guide for Checking for Abnormal Main and

Diversity Level

Date:30-03-2012
To determine the antenna failure by the difference in the
Main and Diversity Level
• Counters
• S4556: Average Main Level in the Customized MR
• S4557: Average Diversity Level in the Customized MR
• You can find the counters in M2000 or PRS.

 …To determine antenna failure by the difference in the
Main and Diversity Level

The Formula:

• Main Level（dBm） =10*log10(S4556)-120

• Diversity Level（dBm）=10*log10(S4557)-120

• Difference of Main & Diversity Level =

Main Level – Diversity Level

…To determine antenna failure by the difference in the
Main and Diversity Level
• Conclusion on KD0053:
Cells A & B have an abnormal Main and Diversity Levels
• Recommendation
Need to investigate antenna;
Azimuth/ Height/ feeder cable(For Cable Swap/ Issues)

Tip: From the result, the Difference btw Main & Diversity
Level, is more than 10dBm in KD0053A/B mainly, which need
further troubleshooting of antenna problems.
