Chapter 2 - Hardware Description Installation PreparationsAlvarion BreezeNET B300 13 Technical User Manual2.3 Installation Preparations2.3.1 Required Components and AccessoriesBefore the installation, please make sure you have all necessary parts and accessories:DeviceAntennaLow loss antenna cable for the required frequency rangeAntenna pole (if necessary)Required grounding systemAccessories and tools2.3.2 Antenna PlacementWhen planning an antenna placement for PTP link, in order to obtain the maximal coverage range and best performance for the Device, one need to consider that LOS requirements must be fulfilled for the path between two antennas. Moreover, it is of vital importance that the certain zone that surrounds the signal propagation path must be free from obstructions. One should understand that the radio beam is not as thin as, for example, laser beam. Radio beam, also called as a 1st Fresnel zone, has a profile of a rugby ball. Its exact form and size depend upon the frequency and the signal propagation path length.If most of the 1st Fresnel zone is obstructed, a major part of a electromagnetic energy will be lost which leads to a severe signal quality degradation and, as a result, to coverage range decreasing.Below is an incomplete list of possible obstructions on the signal propagation path:Neighboring buildingsTreesBridges
Chapter 2 - Hardware Description Installation PreparationsAlvarion BreezeNET B300 14 Technical User ManualPower linesTo obtain the best results, it is necessary to perform a precise analysis of a signal propagation path zone and possible obstructions that may cover a part of the 1st Fresnel zone (usually the analysis is performed at the highest points of the signal propagation path).General recommendation for antennas placement are the following:Install antennas as high as possible over specific level. In case of flat surface - it will be ground level, in case of vegetation and forest - it will be tree heights, in urban environment - it will be the highest building in the observed area (specific level definition).Avoid tree and vegetation along with wave propagation path, influence of trees can increase depending on seasons (ice, dew, leaves);Proximity of other antennas should be avoided (at least 2 meters);Reflecting surfaces should be considered (building with reflective windows, water surfaces or wet grounds);When installing antenna over water surface, one should tune height bracket within 1-3 meter range variation, because it can yield signal level variation from minimum to maximum. If seasonal changes influence on the signal quality, so then the most probable reasons would be either the connectors are not protected enough from humidity, summer vegetation or ice covered cabling and connectors during winter.NOTEWhile planning, it is strongly recommended to consult high-qualified and experienced techniciansNOTEAntenna installation must be performed only by a professional installer.The system must be configured only as point to point. The maximum power at the antenna connector , described in Table 2-3 and Table 2-4, is applicable for both qualified antennas and for each channel bandwidth
Chapter 2 - Hardware Description Installation PreparationsAlvarion BreezeNET B300 15 Technical User Manual2.3.3 Antenna Poles UsageAntenna installation is performed on a special facility called antenna pole. The pole is used for strong antenna tightening at the installation site. Poles might have different modifications depending on the installation requirements.2.3.4 Poles with StretchingUsually this kind of poles are used when installing antenna on a flat surface and permits one to raise it to a significant height for providing optimal conditions for signal propagation.2.3.5 Wall Mounted PoleUsually these kinds of poles are used when there is no need to elevate antenna to the rooftop and there is the possibility to mounting it on a wall. This installation is significantly simpler than that implementation with poles. Mostly it is used for subscriber side deployments.2.3.6 Antenna Poles RequirementsEase of antenna mounting and sufficient mechanical durability should provide reliable fastening in conditions of high windy loads. Poles should have round profile for ease of azimuth adjustment. Typical pole diameter is 30 to 50 mm.2.3.7 Grounding when Using IDU-BSAntenna should be placed on the mast on the level that is at least 1 meter lower than a mast's top. In this case it is of big probability that the lightning strikes the mast and not the antenna. The mast is to be grounded on the grounding contour according to your local standards. When the lightning strikes the antenna, the current goes through the coaxial cable which grounds ODU clamp with the mast - the mast is grounded via the grounding contour. The direct lightning strike to the STP service cable (ODU-IDU) is partially terminated on the grounded IDU case. Partial termination means that the direct lightning strike will probably destroy an STP cable. The service cable pickups from the electromagnetic impulses are terminated on the IDU case by the winding shield, and further - on the IDU grounding. IDU is grounded via a three-conductor power cord and a plug containing a ground. The data & power wires pickups are terminated via IDU protection scheme (three-conductor power cord and a plug containing a ground).
Chapter 2 - Hardware Description Installation PreparationsAlvarion BreezeNET B300 16 Technical User ManualA special attention should be paid if antenna used is not DC-shorted. In this case additional lightning arrestor should be used between the antenna and ODU. Suggested grounding diagram is shown on the picture below.2.3.8 Antenna AlignmentTo obtain maximal system performance antennas must be precisely aligned one towards another according to LOS requirements. General recommendations for antenna alignment are the following:Align antennas using optical equipment (binoculars, spyglass) accompanied by mobile phone actions coordinationCAUTIONAntenna pole, tower, ODU and lightning arrestor should be connected to the first common grounding contour. Cable thickness should be no less than 10AWG using corrosion-steady connectors. It is highly recommended to entrust grounding contour development to the skilled personnel.Figure 2-9: Grounding
Chapter 2 - Hardware Description Installation PreparationsAlvarion BreezeNET B300 17 Technical User ManualUse GPS receiver and area mapUse build-in Device features. These features allow evaluating current channel/signal quality and perform precise antenna alignment2.3.9 Precaution MeasuresBefore you start the installation please read this section very carefully. Antennas are installed on the roof tops or on the building walls. This work must be accomplished only by personnel having special skills and experience in this area.Antennas and cables are electric conductors. Incidental electrostatic strikes may occur during the system installation. This can lead to equipment damaging or may hurt the personnel. While installing or changing the elements of the antenna-fider system one should make sure that open metal parts are temporarily grounded.Do not install the antenna close to the electric power lines. Antenna and antenna pole have to be installed in such a way that while their assembling, disassembling and repairing they did not have any contact with power lines.Basic precaution measures that must be fulfilled during the installation are the following:Do not stay on the roof top in windy or rainy weather, during the thunderstorm or when the working zone is covered with snow or iceDo not touch the antennas, antenna poles, cables and lighting arrestors during the thunderstormAntenna placement should not be close to electric or telephone lines. Safe distance is a distance that is a sum of the two antenna poles heights and antenna height2.3.10 Service Cable Soldering ProcedureThe following instruction shows the "RJ-45" (modification 2) connector soldering procedure.
