Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the wireless field. Background technique [0002] The antenna azimuth angle, downtilt angle, antenna height and the performance parameters of the antenna itself determine the coverage of the base station, and the main engineering parameters of the antenna (antenna azimuth angle, downtilt angle and antenna height) are planned by the wireless network Important parameters, the accuracy of the antenna azimuth and downtilt angles are important factors affecting the quality and perception of mobile users. How to quickly obtain the accurate value of the antenna angle? It is particularly important for wireless network planning and optimization.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] 1. Due to the different experience and construction methods of construction personnel in actual engineering construction, manually measuring the azimuth and downtilt angle of mobile communication base station antennas requires engineering and technical personnel to use a compass to manually determine the azimuth, and also requires engineering and technical personnel to pass Visually inspect the low-accuracy scale markings represented on the antenna's mounting bracket, identifying slopes that can lead to differences in engineering personnel's skill or manual measurement methods, resulting in incorrect or unstable measurements

Unable to accurately meet the design requirements

[0008] 2. In order to obtain the angle information of the base station antenna, engineers and technicians must directly climb up the base station antenna installed on the multi-storey building or iron tower, and use a compass at the antenna position. Due to the magnetic interference near the iron tower, measuring near the iron tower will cause more big error

It is generally required to have a certain distance away from the iron tower, and use a compass to prevent magnetic attraction! As well as manually measuring the azimuth and downtilt of the antenna by visually identifying the scale line where the mechanical pointer of the measuring instrument is located, the accuracy is not high

[0009] 3. Due to man-made or natural factors, the antenna angle cannot be detected and adjusted in time, which makes the actual value of azimuth and downtilt angle deviate from the design value

[0010] 4. In actual engineering maintenance, technicians need to carry instruments to the site to manually measure the angle of the base station antenna, which increases manpower and material resources; for some special occasions, it brings inconvenience to technicians on-site measurement

[0011] The above disadvantages not only need to increase manpower and material resources, but also easily lead to the fact that the actual coverage of the base station does not match the designed one, resulting in unreasonable base station coverage, or co-frequency and adjacent frequency interference, resulting in a decline in communication quality and affecting customer perception.
