    Measuring Signal Performance 9.1 Introduction The performance of a microwave link (wireless link established between two outdoor antennas) is closely related to the following factors: Range • • Fresnel Zone • Clearance Factor Calculating the above factors help you align the antennas properly and achieve a better throughput. 9.2 Determining the Range Range is the maximum distance a microwave link travels and is based on the: Type of the outdoor antenna equipment (Outdoor antennas differ in technical specifications).

    Measuring Signal Performance • Marginal communications quality in late fall (with no leaves on the trees along the signal path) might fail in the summer (with leaves on the trees along the signal path). In winter, a wireless link can fail when the antenna is exposed to ice buildup or when the antenna elements are •...
  • Page 60: Clearance Factor

    Measuring Signal Performance The path difference is the required clearance of the antenna beam from obstacles in its path to avoid loss of radio signal. Signals reflected from any even-numbered Fresnel Zone result in signal cancellation while the odd-numbered Fresnel Zones add to the direct path signal.
  • Page 61: Calculations

    : Practically, it is impossible to achieve the maximum range due to the interference from the other radio products. Proxim recommends you to maintain at least 60-70% of the first Fresnel Zone free. If the clearance is lower than this percentage, then the link budget and acquired fade margin are affected.
  • Page 62 – D is the distance of the path in miles. • This formula is available on a calculation sheet provided by Proxim to generate an estimate of link distance and reliability. • The path loss must be smaller than the link budget minus the minimum required fade margin. The maximum ranges cause the path loss plus the fade margin to be the same as the link budget.
  • Page 63 Measuring Signal Performance Procedure 1. Start with the transmit power and the number of the channel to be used in dBm. Subtract the total loss of all transmission elements between the antenna and the radio on one side of the link (dB). 2.
