7.9 Antenna Alignment Tool
The graphical antenna alignment tool allows to visualize the signal characteristics on both sides
of the link in order to make the antenna alignment process more accurate and easier. It helps to
find the best antenna position via comparing the actual received signal level with the calculated
reference value. The accuracy of the antenna alignment at the neighbor device is very
important for the link quality. Antenna alignment tool operates online and does not break the
wireless connection.
Each side of the link (local and remote) has two similar test indicator sets, corresponding to
each antenna polarization. This allows controlling the alignment process for each antenna
polarization for the local and for the remote device simultaneously.
The main idea is to achieve the actual signal level (green square) is closer to the reference
value (pale area). Grey square shows maximal achieved value on each channel.
