I have a question about the ideal RSSI Noise. I am testing the UMTRX and have the following obeservation:
when I type noise with the default setup of RX GAin 47. the RSSI noise is -26dB and when i change the noise to RX Gain 0. the RSSI noise goes down to -46dB.
Which is the better option? as I understand the lower the noise floor the better. Now if I install my Duplexer, LNA and BPF my noise goise up to -16dB. Is this okay or should I trim the RX gain? What is the ideal RSSI NOISE?
I can't give you an easy answer here. We're using a complicated procedure of tuning Rx gain to specific hardware configuration of our base stations. If you don't have measurement equipment, you could follow this manual to get to working results: https://code.google.com/p/umtrx/wiki/RunningOpenBTS#Tune_OpenBTS_for_specifi...
