Site Survey
•
If one or more co-located units are not RADWIN units, ensure that there is a physical
separation of at least three meters between a RADWIN unit and any other co-located
radio on the site.
•
Use the largest possible frequency gap between these units
•
Choose the best frequency channel (as clear as possible from interference). You may be
able to change the band used for the sector - depending on HBS model and regulations.
•
Decreasing the Tx Power of a sector will reduce collocation interference

3.7.1 RADWIN Site Survey Kit for Small Cell Backhaul
The process in
Stage 2: Physical Survey
can be carried out more easily using the RADWIN Site
Survey Kit. This kit includes an HSU ready for use in the field. The radio is mounted on a high
precision tripod. The radio, based on the technology described in this Manual, has an
integrated antenna, a rechargeable battery pack and a WiFi port to communicate with a
tablet also mounted on the tripod. The Tablet is pre-loaded with the RADWIN Manager, as
well as the WINTouch application, which enables you to perform alignment and to conduct a
series of RF and performance tests. It is intended for use in a high-interference urban
environment under nLOS or NLOS conditions.
