Chapter 3:
Site Survey
Planning the Link Site
Overview
Link site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any
equipment is brought to the site. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is
negative, site re‐location will need to be considered.
A Site Survey consists of three stages:
1. Preliminary survey ‐ The proposed link is analyzed in the office using a topographic map.
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).
The Site Survey
Introduction
RADWIN wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated installation site
must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and
provide connectivity without signal degradation.
RADWIN 2000 C Plus offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must
be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance.
