6.3.10 Sweep the BWX 8305 Basestation Antenna

6.3.10.1 Purpose
Once the BWX 8305 Basestation Antenna and bundled RF cables are installed, you must perform a
sweep on the mounted BWX 8305 Basestation Antenna and connected cables. These will be swept for
power loss associated with both the transmit and receive signal. For this measurement you will need a
Cisco proprietary tool called the BWX Basestation Antenna Test Box. The sweep procedure is different
for the transmit and receive paths. In all cases you first establish a reference level, then measure the path
gain or loss test.
