Chapter 3: Site Survey
3.1 Planning the Sector or Link Sites
3.1.1 Overview
This chapter relates primarily to planning Sector sites. For practical purposes, a Link Site
Survey may be treated as a Sector Site survey for one HSU. Obviously the numbers will be
different reflecting different throughputs for the two cases, however the Surveys will follow
the same procedure.
Sector site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any
equipment is deployed. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative,
HBS or HSU re-location will need to be considered.
A Site Survey consists of three stages:
1.
Preliminary survey
- The proposed sector is analyzed
in the office
using a topographic
map. You should use additional tools such as the RADWIN Radio Planner.
2.
Physical survey
- The locations of the indoor and outdoor equipment are determined
on-
site
.
3.
Radio Frequency (RF) survey
- It is recommended that the installation area be scanned
with a spectrum analyzer, to identify RF interference so as to determine a clear channel
for radio installation (
on-site
).
3.2 The Site Survey
3.2.1 Introduction
RADWIN wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated installation sites
must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and
provide connectivity without signal degradation.
RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel
must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance.
