WBTS Sensitivity

The minimum reference sensitivity level specified in 3GPP is -121 dBm in the
static channel
with the conditions of:
1. 0.1 BER for 12.2 kbit/s user bit rate
2. Average White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel type
The NSN equipment have more restrictive requirement. Differences between
Flexi and Ultra
Datasheet can be amplified by the possibility to reduce cable length using
Flexi

• UltraSite
• The corresponding typical value for Nokia
• UltraSite WCDMA BTSs is -124.7dBm.
• Two-port receiver diversity is a standard
• feature for Nokia UltraSite WCDMA BTS
• and improves the actual one branch
• sensitivity by 3 dB.
• Summary:
• RX sensitivity Typical -124.7 dBm; -127.5
dBm with 2-port diversity

Flexi
The corresponding typical value for
Nokia
Flexi WCDMA BTSs without MHA is
-125.7 dBm. Using MHA (with feeder
loss 3dB) and diversity the value
becomes -128.7dBm
Summary:
RX sensitivity Typical -125.7 dBm; -
128.6 with 2port diversity; -
128.7dBm with 2-port diversity and
MHA
 Link Budget
Many difficulties to model a real situation and make accurate measures for site commissioning. As
result unbalanced UL/DL links can appear.
