Wireless field work

These five case studies show how I handled deployment, validation, and troubleshooting across wireless field projects. Each case explains the work I handled, how I coordinated with climbing crews when applicable, and includes the original photos and test records.

Rooftop RF validation

Henderson Springs

Rooftop Antenna Spacing Trial

Henderson Springs rooftop antenna frame in its restored configuration

The antennas were tested at 6 feet, 3 feet, and the original spacing, with RRU port routing and pre/post checks documented across all three visits; sweep and PIM testing was completed when conditions allowed.

External interference diagnosis

Hampton Park

External RF Interference Diagnosis

Hampton Park tower antenna and radio sectors against a blue sky

After I corrected the local alarm, routing, and jumper issues, a controlled Gamma 850 orientation check changed two branch readings by 5–6 dB and pointed to external interference.

Pre-integration recovery

Bellevue Manor

Wireless Site Pre-Integration

Connected Ericsson baseband and dressed fiber cabling at Bellevue

I completed the cabinet and ground-side fiber work, isolated two tower-side LTE connection problems and a failed Gamma secondary radio, then coordinated corrections and reran the Ericsson checks.

Three-sector modernization

Brook Hollow

4xTx Radio Modernization

Brook Hollow tower sectors and newly installed radio equipment

I handled the ground-side optics, power, and fiber work during the three-sector Ericsson upgrade, then documented the remaining RET issues for the cell technician.

PIM fault isolation

Gaston

Gamma 850 PIM Fault Isolation

Gaston tower head where the Gamma 850 antenna fault was isolated

I found and corrected crossed transmit lines, then worked with the climbing crew through controlled load, jumper-swap, and antenna tests that isolated both failed G1 antenna ports.
