3.11 Spectrum analyzer
The Spectrum Analyzer functionality was built for the installer and radio planner to decide for each
sector, once deployed, the best RF channel to define for the BreezCOMPACT, this function is critical in
unlicensed spectrum such as in 3.65 GHz – 3.7GHz in US and Canada where other transmitting devices
may interfere the BreezeCOMPACT.
The Spectrum Analysis feature enables gaining knowledge of the noise characteristics per channel. This
enables construction of a relatively noise free working environment. When the Spectrum Analysis
feature is activated, the unit will enter passive scanning mode for a definite period during which
information shall be gathered. The scanned channels will be the channels comprising the selected sub
set.
Upon activating the spectrum analysis the unit will automatically shutdown the RF ports. During the
information-gathering period the unit will not receive nor transmit data. It also will not be able to
synchronize/associate, meaning that it cannot be managed via the wireless link. At the end of the period
the user should configure the system for normal operation.
