5.4. Spectrum Analysis for Locating Clear
Frequencies
Before setting up your wireless link between Base Station and subscribers, Airspan
recommends (especially in unlicensed bands), analyzing the RF spectrum at the
Base Station to select only clear frequency channels (i.e. without interferences) for
building a frequency table for wireless communication between Base Station and
subscriber.
Prior to performing this test, you need to mount the radio/antenna in the desired
installation spot. In general, you will be looking for frequencies with signal strengths
of –85 dBm or greater.
For using Airspan's spectrum analyzer tool, refer to the WipConfig User's Guide. For
evaluating link quality using the Spectrum Analyzer, see Appendix F, "Evaluating
Link Quality".
