6113 CITA
6113 Base Station TestJuly 2004
6113 Customer.pptCommercial in Confidence
What is CiTA?
• Cell Integrity Test• Tests the whole cell – antennas as well as
BTS RF performance• Used to assess the quality of the radio
channel between a BTS and a mobile anywhere in the cell
6113 Base Station TestJuly 2004
6113 Customer.pptCommercial in Confidence
Benefits of CiTA• Checks Uplink & Downlink quality• Checks the citing & orientation of all antennas• Checks the performance of masthead LNAs• Checks UL/DL antenna balance of site• Checks voice quality& BER• Checks cell coverage• Identifies interference• Identifies potential site location• Optimises network performance
6113 Base Station TestJuly 2004
6113 Customer.pptCommercial in Confidence
CiTA Process
• Racal 6113 provides a one cell network• Make calls using mobile/test sim• Loopback in 6113 for voice quality assessment• Loopback in 6113 for BER test measurements• Monitors RxLevel/RxQuality Reports
