Abstract

The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) serves as a comparative measure between transmitter and receiver voltages, impacting site transmit power. VSWR values at a Radio Base Station (RBS) are evident in feeder cable losses, jumpers, combiners, and radio antenna losses. This study aims to assess the impact of poor VSWR values on BTS transmit power and perform troubleshooting analysis on 4G signal quality and Coverage Area. The study commenced with a literature review and VSWR measurements in the Gurun Laweh Aia Pacah region. The process involved identifying VSWR issues at the BTS site, conducting a Drive Test using pocket Tems, and troubleshooting the VSWR problem. Drive Test findings encompassed areas with weak signals, BTS site data, and problematic spots. The analysis utilized applications like Tems Discovery and MapInfo Pro. Results along the Gurun Laweh Aia Pacah road showed signal strength affected by a high VSWR value of 1.6. RSRP data rated 50% in the good category, SINR at 31% in the good category, and throughput at 5% in the good category. Elevated VSWR values diminish signal range, subsequently impacting traffic metrics. Immediate VSWR troubleshooting becomes imperative; low VSWR promotes higher transmit power efficiency, while normal VSWR ensures optimal transmit power efficiency.

Abstract

The transition from analog to digital television broadcasting in Indonesia improves picture and sound quality; however, signal reception in rural areas remains a challenge due to long distances from transmitters and unfavorable topography. Conventional antennas and signal boosters have not provided optimal performance. This study aims to design a vertical linear antenna array with a stacking configuration to enhance digital television signal reception in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band. The antenna design was carried out through theoretical calculations, simulation, and optimization using CST Studio Suite 2019. The analyzed parameters include return loss, VSWR, gain, bandwidth, and radiation pattern. Simulation and testing results show that the antenna achieves a return loss below −10 dB, VSWR less than 2, gain above 10 dBi, and a unidirectional radiation pattern. The proposed antenna effectively improves digital television reception quality in rural areas.

Abstract

The rapid growth of mobile data traffic in cellular networks has created significant challenges in maintaining network performance, particularly during peak usage periods known as busy hour. During these periods, high user density leads to increased traffic load, resulting in network congestion and degradation of key performance indicators such as throughput, latency, jitter, and packet loss. This study aims to analyze conceptually the impact of busy hour traffic on cellular network performance through a structured literature review approach. The method involves collecting and synthesizing recent studies from reputable journals to identify patterns and relationships between traffic load and network performance parameters. The results indicate that increased traffic during busy hour consistently causes resource contention, leading to decreased throughput and increased latency, jitter, and packet loss. Furthermore, this study reveals that most existing research is empirical and case-specific, lacking an integrated conceptual framework. Therefore, this research contributes by providing a comprehensive conceptual understanding of the causal relationship between busy hour traffic and cellular network performance degradation, which can support future research and network optimization strategies.
