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. As a result, the repeater cannot transmit signal to the coverage area.
Therefore, a direct line of sight to the BTS for the donor antenna is vital to the
function of a repeater. For the same reason, placing the server antenna in
direct line of sight of the coverage area is also necessary.
