Site Selection
For a successful installation, careful thought must be given to selecting
proper sites for the radios and antenna systems. Suitable sites should
offer:
• An antenna location that provides an unobstructed path in the
direction of the associated station
• A source of adequate and stable primary power
• Suitable entrances for antenna, interface or other required
cabling
• Adequate clearance around the radio for ventilation
These requirements can be quickly determined in most cases. A possible
exception is the first item—verifying that an unobstructed transmission
path exists. Microwave radio signals travel primarily by line-of-sight,
and obstructions between the sending and receiving stations will affect
system performance.
If you are not familiar with the effects of terrain and other obstructions
on radio transmission, the following discussion will provide helpful
background.
Terrain and Signal Strength
A line-of-sight path between stations is highly desirable, and provides
the most reliable communications link in all cases. A line-of-sight path
can often be achieved by mounting each station antenna on a tower or
other elevated structure that raises it to a level sufficient to clear sur-
rounding terrain and other obstructions.
