Iridium Pilot Installation Manual page 67

By collecting plots from several potential sites the installer can choose the location that presents the
least amount of interference and will provide normal Iridium service to the end user.

Additional information about the Site Survey Tool
• As long as the tool remains running data is collected regardless of the average/peak Window size.
• The user can select to sample every channel, every other channel, every 5th channel, or every 10th channel
using the "Step" pull down on the control bar. This feature may be useful in tracking down broad band
interferers by spot scanning across the entire frequency range and completing scans more quickly.
• By adjusting the "Av/Pk Window" the user is selecting the last "n" scans to be included in the averaging and
peak selection. Note that the completed scans may be less than the window size meaning the average is
performed on the lesser of these two values.
• The SST is not optimized to find Iridium Satellite downlinks but rather is designed to detect terrestrial
interferers.
