  • Method and apparatus for monitoring antenna deterioration
    Patent number: 9072002
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for monitoring antenna deterioration. When a signal is transmitted by a base station antenna at a tower-top of a cellular base station, a measurement antenna positioned at the tower-top receives the signal. The signal is measured to determine the signal power and the actual gain of the base station antenna is determined by comparing the determined signal power to the input power of the signal before it was transmitted by the base station antenna.
