loss

 

(between

 

the

and

 

the

determines

 

the

and

 

is

 

affected

 

by

 

such

 

considerations

 

as

 

radio

and

 

regulatory

 

restrictions.

Before

 

proceeding

 

to

the

 

following

information

 

should

 

be

 

considered:

B.2

 

About

 

Single

 

and

 

Dual

 

Antennas

Each

 

RADWIN

 

2000

 

D+

 

ODU

 

is

 

made

 

of

 

two

 

radio

 

transceivers

 

(radios).

 

The

 

radios

 

make

 

use

 

of

 

algorithms

 

that

 

utilize

 

both

 

Spatial

 

Multiplexing

 

and

 

Diversity

 

resulting

 

in

 

enhanced

 

capacity,

 

range

 

and

 

link

 

availability.

 

The

 

number

 

of

 

antennas

 

(i.e.

 

radios)

 

used

 

is

 

determined

 

by

 

user

 

configuration

 

and

 

by

 

automatic

 

system

 

decisions,

 

explained

 

below.

 

B.2.1

 

Dual

 

Antennas

 

at

 

the

 

HBS

 

and

 

an

 

HSU

When

 

using

 

dual

 

antennas

 

at

 

both

 

sites

 

(single

 

bipolar

 

antenna

 

or

 

two

 

unipolar

 

antennas)

 

you

 

can

 

choose

 

between

 

Spatial

 

Multiplexing

 

Mode

 

and

 

Diversity

 

Mode.

Spatial

 

Multiplexing

 

Mode

Under

 

this

 

mode,

 

the

 

system

 

doubles

 

the

 

link

 

capacity.

 

At

 

the

 

same

 

time,

 

it

 

keeps

 

the

 

same

 

rate

 

and

 

modulation

 

per

 

radio

 

as

 

was

 

used

 

with

 

single

 

antenna,

 

thus

 

increasing

 

capacity,

 

range

 

and

 

availability.

For

 

example,

 

at

 

80MHz

 

CBW,

 

using

 

a

 

dual

 

antenna

 

RADWIN

 

2000

 

D+

 

can

 

transmit

 

at

 

modulation

 

of

 

256QAM

 

and

 

FEC

 

of

 

5/6

 

and

 

get

 

an

 

air

 

rate

 

of

 

866.7

 

Mbps,

 

compared

 

to

 

433.3

 

Mbps

 

with

 

single

 

antenna.

To

 

work

 

in

 

this

 

mode,

 

each

 

antenna

 

port

 

must

 

be

 

connected

 

to

 

an

 

antenna,

 

the

 

RSS

 

level

 

in

 

both

 

receivers

 

should

 

be

 

balanced

 

and

 

a

 

minimal

 

separation

 

between

 

the

 

antennas

 

must
