10. Determine the locations of the central station and the equipment closet. Mark the scaled
floor plan with all component locations and the area of coverage. Determine location of
chases between floors and drops into the nurses stations, if necessary, and mark them
on the floor plan.
11. Draw an antenna schematic, including all components and approximate cable lengths.
12. Measure all the wiring runs in an attempt to minimize cable length.
13. Determine the ceiling type at each antenna and splitter location. Check above the
ceiling at each location to determine clearance and accessibility.
14. Determine the cumulative dB loss of each leg of the antenna system by using the
following table as a guide:
NOTE: No more than 28 dB loss @ 608 MHZ can be tolerated in any
leg of the antenna system.
15. Create a Wire Run list to include all wire runs for the coax cable.
16. Create an Antenna Components List with all required parts required, i.e. antennas,
splitters, connectors.
Belden 1695A cable 5.5 dB per 100 ft @ 608 MHZ
Belden 7732A cable 4 dB per 100 ft @ 608 MHZ
2/1 Splitter 5.7 dB @ 608 MHz (P/N 0998-00-0201)
3.5 dB @ 608 MHz (P/N 0992-00-0199-01)
