Antenna Orientation; Antenna Type Determination Guidelines - UTStarcom UTS-600FSU Instruction Manual

2.2 Antenna Orientation

Careful placement of the antenna is necessary to ensure clear reception. Position the
antenna so that it is:

Antenna Type Determination Guidelines

The Coverage Map shows Radio Port locations and the area covered by the RP.
type of antenna installed depends on its distance from the Radio Port.
If distance is...
Less than 500m
Between 400m and 700m
Greater than 700m
Table 2-1: Antenna Type Determination Guidelines
There may be exceptions to the requirements in Table 2-1 identified by on-site RSS
measurements and/or by the specific radio environment.
• In clear view of a Radio Port
• Not blocked by buildings, summer foliage nor heavy
traffic of large vehicles
• At least 2 meters in height, use Coverage Map and
on-site measurements to determine exact height,
usually 2 meters or higher
• Directed towards the strongest RSS measurement,
for directional antenna only
• On a wall or pole that is sufficiently strong, make
sure wall or pole can withstand winds common to
the area
• Away from other objects such as poles, trees,
buildings, and so on that block the signal from the
Radio Port; in general the minimum distance is 750
mm.
Then use...

antenna

antenna
10 dBi directional antenna
