Site analyzer\ Site master

It is the most important test equipment at

telecom site due to it removes the entire
drawback which we discussed above. At site
we use site master of Bird electronics (USA)
Ex-25000 that is more reliable & user friendly
as well as easy to operate.
It is used in site at least two times one at
Finalization & acceptance test (AT).

Advantageous of site analyzer

It does not require BTS to measure the VSWR due to it has
own power.
It gives graphical representation of measured value.
It supports the wide range of frequency.
We can save the readings and traces up to 500.
We can recoil save traces and compare with new reading.
We can import & export with PC by Site analyzer PC tool.
We can print out the trace directly by site master.
It operates on reachable battery.
Night vision mode present in it.
We can take multiple values for single trace.
The frequency range of it is780-2500MHz

How to use site mater

It is widely used in measurement of VSWR,
position of fault, which kind of frequency must
be reflected back & power measurement.
There are following steps are given below, by
which we check VSWR if it is high, we find the
location of fault & rectify them then further
check the VSWR, if it is ok then save the trace.
The following steps are allowed to check
VSWR & Fault location. There are there modes
in it.

Modes
Measure match mode
Fault location mode

4-Right now the frequency range is 1710-1880 MHz(1800 band),& our requirement is
890-960MHz (900 band) so we have change the frequency range. For it we press the configuration button
then screen will change to

Select stop frequency by left\right arrow keys or by typing on numeric key pads & press Enter.
Press escape ESC

measurement calibrate the site master in new frequency band.
6-To calibrate the site master, we have to used calibration kit. That is shown below.

Now we can measure of VSWR of our transmission line. Connect 1\2M To 7\8 adaptor
with RF port of site master. Remove both the cable from BTS in same sector.
Due to antennae is cross polarized; transmitted power from one cable may be
reflected back to the another. So remove both cables from BTS for safety reason.
One of them cable connect with adaptor & press Auto scale button, screen will change to

By using fault location we can only localize the fault. We do not measure VSWR only in measure
match mode

12- It is clear from graph fault is located nearby antennae port. Go to their end & check what
kind of fault is there & rectify them.
Again check the VSWR in Measure match mode only, if VSWR is
within limit then it is OK otherwise you further go to in fault location & recheck the new fault
location then further rectify them. The corrective action accordingly till the fault is completely
rectified.
13- Now we want to save the trace, before savings we press the auto scale button 2 or 3 times for
refreshing the trace for it press Save\Recall button then screen will change to
