Epoch-S02 RF Repeater
User Manual V1.1
1.1.2 Line of Sight
The donor antenna pointing toward the base station 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 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 coverage antenna in direct line of sight of the coverage area
is also necessary.
