  • Page 17: Antenna Separation/Isolation

    Duo-i6515/6525/8030NM User Manual V1.6 2.3.4 Antenna Separation/Isolation Separation between antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually reenters, due to the lack of separation between the donor and server antennas. In other words, the signal is being fed back into the system.
  • Page 18: Line Of Sight

    Duo-i6515/6525/8030NM User Manual V1.6 2.3.5 Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the base station typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the BTS can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the BTS may impair the repeater from obtaining any BTS signal.
