Coax InfoColor Coding Requirements:The intent of color coding the lines is to allow a technician to discern which antenna is connected to each linefrom the base of the tower. With the advent of cross-band couplers, dual band antenna, 700 MHz and 2-in-1or 3 -in-1antennae, it becomes more difficult to match a single line to a single antenna. As such, each sitemay require a unique color code scheme with a laminated diagram of the line routing that will be posted at thefeed-thru port. Standard colors for each sector will remain the same (Red-Alpha, Blue-Beta, Green-Gamma),But the number of stripes may vary. Also, each line that is used for a transmit signal will receive a white stripe.Verizon Wireless Construction Engineers will provide the diagram to the tower contractor, who willlaminate it and post it in the building underneath the feed-thru ports.Coaxial Cable / Jumper - Lengths and Type:Provide an exact measurement of each coax line. A TDR measurement is acceptable, but an exact manualmeasurement of each line is preferred. Provide confirmation of cable manufacturer, model number, anddiameter.

SweepsCoaxial Cable Sweeps:Each coax line is to be tested at at its designated frequency ranges. The 850 frequency range is 835 - 894 MHz., the PCSfrequency range is 1850 - 1990 MHz., the AWS frequency range is 1745 - 2155 MHz. and the 700 MHz frequency range is704 - 787. Connect a 50 ohm load to each line, (including the jumper), and record the minimum return loss value. A reading of25 to 30 dB return loss is typical. If a reading of at least 20 dB can not be achieved, disconnect the jumper and repeat theprocedure through the main line only. Please ensure that all conectors are torqued to spec (18 ft/lbs.) Replace or repairconnectors or jumpers as needed to obtain the proper result. If a 20 dB minimum reading is still not obtained, contact theappropriate Verizon Wireless Construction Engineer for further guidance.Antenna Sweeps:Each antenna port is to be tested at the appropriate frequency range. The 850 frequency range is 835 - 894 MHz. The PCSfrequency range is 1850 to 1990 MHz. The AWS frequency range is 1745 - 2155 MHz. The 700 MHz frequency range is704 - 787 MHz. Before mounting the antenna, perform a sweep on the ground according to the following procedure, (appliesto panel antennas only):Markers on Sweeps:Limit MarkersAntenna only dB limit marker should be at -15 dBSystem Return Loss limit marker should be at -16 dBHardline only Return Loss limit marker should be at -16 dBSystem DTF limit marker should be at -27 dBHardline DTF limit marker should be at -27 dBEach return loss sweep (antenna only, hardline and system) will reqire markers to be added to them to designate the bandsthat are being swept.

A typicalfactory sweep should read approximately 20 dB. If the factory sweep testresults are not at least -15dB, the Construction Engineer and RF Engineershould be notified. In this case, the RF Engineer must review and approvethe factory results before the antenna installation is to proceed.2)Bring the antenna and test equipment to an open area. This should be awayfrom any obstructions including trees, towers, fences, buildings in order toavoid reflections.3)Connect the antenna sweep equipment and position the antenna pointedupward.4)Sweep the antenna as usual. The reading should approximate the factorysweep test results. Repeat this procedure for each antenna before mountingto ensure that a defective antenna is not installed on the tower.Sweep 2 Title to be labeled: Hardline Only DTF Line Length, site name, color codeWithout the antennas or the jumpers attached on the top of the tower sweep the hardline to a short to show the line length.Make sure the sweep includes only the hardline and no jumpers.Sweep 3 Title to be labeled: Hardline Only Return Loss, site name, color codeAttach a load to the end of the hardline, sweep the line to determine the return loss of the hardline. The readings should beat least -16 dB. If an antenna/ line system does not measure at least -16 dB, re-inspect all connections for loose connectors,metal shavings, etc. If -16 dB minimum reading is still not obtained, contact the appropriate Verizon Wireless ConstructionEngineer for further guidance.Sweep 4 Title to be labeled: Hardline Only DTF, site name, color codeWith the load still on the end of the hardline connector perform a DTF sweep of the hardline. The reading on this test should bebetter than -27 dB, if not please inspect the line in the areas that are worse than -27 dB and re sweep until a reading better than-27 dB is obtained. Any line with a reading worse than -27 dB will be considered a failure.NOTE: The following full system sweeps (5 and 6) should be recorded after all weather proofing is installed andthe lines are secured. It is suggested that the tester verifies the line integrity before weather proofing.Sweep 5 Title to be labeled: System Return Loss, site name, color codeWith the antennas mounted, connect the appropriate jumper to the antenna and determine return loss of the complete antenna/ line system. The readings should be at least -16 dB. If an antenna/ line system does not measure at least -16 dB, re-inspectall connections for loose connectors, metal shavings, etc. If -16 dB minimum reading is still not obtained, contact the appropriateVerizon Wireless Construction Engineer for further guidance.Sweep 6 Title to be labeled: System DTF, site name, color codeWith the antennas mounted and connected to the hardlines perform a DTF sweep of the system. The reading on this testshould be better than -27 dB, if not please inspect the line in the areas that are worse than -27 dB and re sweep until a readingbetter than -27 dB is obtained. Any line with a reading worse than -27 dB will be considered a failure.*** A .pdf version of the sweeps is no longer required. All sweeps are to be submitted in .dat fileformat.

PIMPassive Inter-Modulation Testing (PIM) - Coaxial Cable:Each Coax line is to be PIM tested in the frequency band in which the Coaxial line will be used.Connect a Low passive Intermodulation Termination to each line, (including the jumper), and connecta PIM tester that operates with at least 2 RF tones X 20 Watts (+43dbm) at the hatch plate connector.Be sure all DIN connectors are tightened to 18 ft. lbs utilizing a torque wrench. A reading of between(-170 dBc to -140 dBc) for 3rd order intermod products is typical. If a reading greater than -140 dBc isobserved, disconnect the jumper and repeat the procedure through the main line only. Replace or repairconnectors or jumpers or lightning arrestors as needed to obtain the proper result. If a reading less than-140 dBc reading is still not obtained, contact the appropriate Verizon Wireless ConstructionEngineer for further guidance.PIM Test Frequencies700 MHz and 800 MHz PIM test Frequencies F1 = 869 MHz F2= 891.5 MHz1900 MHz PIM tester test Frequencies F1 = 1945 MHz F2= 1985 MHzPassive Inter-Modulation Testing (PIM) Antenna:Each antenna is to be PIM tested with a tester that is designed to test 3rd order inter-mod products withat least 2 RF tones x 20 Watts (+43) dBm. The Wideband 698-896 MHz antennas that are being used forLTE can be tested with the 800 MHz PIM tester. A separate 700 MHz only PIM tester is not required.Before mounting the antenna, perform a PIM test on the ground according to the followingprocedure, (applies to panel antennas only):1)All antennas that Verizon Wireless approves for purchase are specified tomeet a 3rd order PIM measurement of -153dBc. All antennas should teston the ground while aimed at the sky with a reading of between -170 dBcto -140 dBc. If this measurement is greater than -140 dBc the ConstructionEngineer and RF Engineer should be notified.2)Bring the antenna and test equipment to an open area. This should be awayfrom any obstructions including trees, towers, fences, buildings in order toavoid reflections.3)Connect the antenna to the PIM test equipment and position the antennapointed upward.4)PIM test the antenna as usual. The reading should be between -170 dBc to-140 dBc. Repeat this procedure for each antenna before mounting to ensurethat a defective antenna is not installed on the Tower.When the antennas are all mounted, connect the appropriate jumper to the antenna and determinethe PIM measurement of the complete antenna/Line system. The reading should be between-170 dBc to -140 dBc. If an antenna/line system measures greater than -140 dBc re-inspect allconnections for loose connectors, metal shavings, etc. If a PIM measurement greater than -140 dBcis still observed, contact the appropriate Verizon Wireless Construction Engineer for further guidance.IF THE PIM MEASUREMENT VALUES DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE NOT ACHIEVABLE, THEINSTALLATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE VERIZON WIRELESSCONSTRUCTION ENGINEER AND THE RF ENGINEER HAVE PRESCRIBED ACORRECTIVE COURSE OF ACTION.************** At the successful conclusion of the antenna/ line testingplease provide the Construction Engineer with the attached PIMmeasurement worksheet completed.**************PIM TESTING WORKSHEETSite Name:Site Address:Date:Name of Tower Crew:FEEDLINE JUMPER PIM MEASUREMENTSAlpha SectorBeta sectorLine 1dBcLine 1dBcLine 2dBcLine 2dBcLine 3dBcLine 3dBcLine 4dBcLine 4dBcLine 5dBcLine 5dBcLine 6dBcLine 6dBcLine 7dBcLine 7dBcLine 8dBcLine 8dBcGamma SectorOther SectorLine 1dBcLine 1dBcLine 2dBcLine 2dBcLine 3dBcLine 3dBcLine 4dBcLine 4dBcLine 5dBcLine 5dBcLine 6dBcLine 6dBcLine 7dBcLine 7dBcLine 8dBcLine 8dBcANTENNA ON GROUND PIM MEASUREMENTSAlpha SectorBeta sectorAntenna 1dBcAntenna 1dBcAntenna 2dBcAntenna 2dBcAntenna 3dBcAntenna 3dBcAntenna 4dBcAntenna 4dBcAntenna 5dBcAntenna 5dBcAntenna 6dBcAntenna 6dBcGamma SectorOther SectorAntenna 1dBcAntenna 1dBcAntenna 2dBcAntenna 2dBcAntenna 3dBcAntenna 3dBcAntenna 4dBcAntenna 4dBcAntenna 5dBcAntenna 5dBcAntenna 6dBcAntenna 6dBcANTENNA AND FEEDLINE PIM MEASUREMENTSAlpha SectorBeta sectorLine/ antenna 1dBcLine/ antenna 1dBcLine/ antenna 2dBcLine/ antenna 2dBcLine/ antenna 3dBcLine/ antenna 3dBcLine/ antenna 4dBcLine/ antenna 4dBcLine/ antenna 5dBcLine/ antenna 5dBcLine/ antenna 6dBcLine/ antenna 6dBcLine/ antennadBcLine/ antennadBcLine/ antennadBcLine/ antennadBcGamma SectorOther SectorLine/ antenna 1dBcLine/ antenna 1dBcLine/ antenna 2dBcLine/ antenna 2dBcLine/ antenna 3dBcLine/ antenna 3dBcLine/ antenna 4dBcLine/ antenna 4dBcLine/ antenna 5dBcLine/ antenna 5dBcLine/ antenna 6dBcLine/ antenna 6dBcLine/ antennadBcLine/ antennadBcLine/ antennadBcLine/ antennadBcVerizon Wireless PIM StandardsTest CaseAcceptable Range (dBC) 20W or 43dBmRequired System Maintenance (coax, antennae, etc)Rx Noise Impact (dBm)New Cell Build Testing( -153dBc) to ( -140dBc)No Minimal Impact( -110dBm} to (-97dBm )Existing Cell ( 5yrs.> age )( -139dBc) to ( -123dBc)Optional Capacity & Coverage( -96dBm) to ( -80dBm)Existing Cell Poor Performance Diversity Imbalance( -122dBc) to ( -100dBc)Yes Service Affecting( -79dBm) to ( -57dBm)
