Scope
of
this
Chapter
This
chapter
presents
some
general
guidelines
about
conducting
a
site
survey,
which
is
a
plan
of
what
radio
units
to
place
where
and
in
what
configuration.
3.2
Planning
the
Link
Site
3.2.1
Overview
Link
site
planning
consists
of
a
set
of
surveys,
which
must
be
carried
out
before
any
equipment
is
brought
to
the
site.
If
for
some
reason,
the
outcome
of
any
of
these
surveys
is
negative,
site
re
‐
location
will
need
to
be
considered.
A
Site
Survey
consists
of
three
stages:
1. Preliminary
survey
‐
The
proposed
link
is
analyzed
in
the
office
using
a
topographic
map.
2. Physical
survey
‐
The
locations
of
the
indoor
and
outdoor
equipment
are
determined
on
‐
site
.
3. Radio
Frequency
(RF)
survey
‐
It
is
recommended
that
the
installation
area
be
scanned
with
a
spectrum
analyzer,
to
identify
RF
interference
so
as
to
determine
a
clear
channel
for
radio
installation
(
on
‐
site
).
Similar
models
only
can
work
opposite
each
other
(that
