Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 A master antenna controller system 10 is shown according to one example. The master antenna controller system 10 includes a handheld wireless device 12 and a device controller 14 . The master antenna controller system 10 enables technicians to perform initial setup testing, installation configuration, and troubleshooting diagnostics on all antenna masters, remote electrical tilt devices, and tower mount amplifiers.

[0019] The device controller 14 is a portable AISG compliant device capable of communicating with an AISG controller such as the RET controller. Device controller 14 is preferably small in size and operable from battery or wall plug-in power. In one example, device controller 14 has a processor and supporting hardware sufficient to operate a basic operating system and effectuate communications between the tower hitch and handheld wireless device 12 . Other operating systems suitable for handheld or portable devices may also be used. The device ...

Abstract

A Master Antenna Controller System comprises a handheld wireless device and an AISG equipment controller. The handheld wireless device may comprise an Android OS or iOS based smartphone or tablet that includes Wi-Fi capabilities communications capabilities. The equipment controller may provide full RET control based on the AISG 1.1 and 2.0 standards and communicate with the handheld wireless device via a Wi-Fi server. The combination may be configured to provide extensive, screen-guided, intuitive RET diagnostics functionality. The RET diagnostics functionality may include measurements of voltage, current, and AISG protocol commands. The equipment controller itself may also include multiple different pre-defined tests (e.g. test one actuator, test one RET cable, test AISG signal from TMA) and also some standard electrical tests, e.g. measuring voltage, current etc. Additional higher-level functions may be provided on an Application on the handheld wireless device and communicated to the equipment controller wirelessly or by USB connection.

Description

Background technique [0001] Many wireless operators currently use RET (Remote Electronic Tilt) antennas. RET antennas allow wireless operators to remotely control the beam properties of one or more antennas, including, for example, beam direction. [0002] Typically, the RET antenna beam properties are adjusted using motors or actuators according to specifications published by the Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG). The related specification can be found at http: / / www.aisg.org.uk (incorporated by reference). While the use of RET antennas has proven beneficial, the installation of such antennas generally requires considerable effort. For installation, fault detection, and control of the RET antenna, several different portable controllers may be required. For example, personnel currently rely on separate electrical measurement and fault detection equipment that is difficult to use when fault detecting RET antenna deployments. Also staff are often overwhelmed and don't ...
