Antenna Alignment
1.
Following the antenna manufacturer’s instructions, adjust the azimuth and
elevation of the antenna.
2.
Use the calculated RSL obtained during the link budget process to
determine the target RSL voltage.
3.
By default, the measured RSL will show the RSL for Transceiver A. For the
KM Series DT dual transceiver radio, the RSL source may be changed to
Transceiver B through a GUI command under Link Diagnostics –> BNC
Connector.
4.
Setting the voltmeter to read a 0–10 voltage range (and turning off the
Auto-Range feature, if applicable) will assist in reading the RSL.
5.
Measure the RSL at the KM Series radio’s RSL port. The RSL follows a
typical monotonic response as follows:
RSL (dBm) = -10 VBNC
[e.g. 2.0 VDC @ RSL = -20 dBm, 9.0 VDC @ -90 dBm]
6.
Fine-align the antenna following the antenna manufacturer’s instructions to
achieve the desired RSL.
