Step 1. Installation of Outdoor Antenna
1.1 How to
f ind the location with the strongest received signal
The booster’s main function is to improve a weak RF signal inside a house, office
or any other indoor area. The received outdoor downlink signal strength directly
affects the efficiency of the indoor coverage. That is why it is crucially important
to install the antenna at a good location and point it properly towards a tower
where signal reception is the strongest.
There are three methods that can be used to find the strongest downlink signal
from the local towers. One is to use the LCD display on the amplifier that shows
the downlink power output of the amplifier in each band, the other is to use a
mobile phone that shows the signal bars and the third is to use a commercially
available signal strength meter. We highly recommend that you use the LCD
display on the amplifier as this method is generally more accurate. However, in
situations where the desired carrier’s signal is much weaker than the other local
signals, using a signal level meter can be a more accurate method of homing in
on the best signal for an installation.
