Chapter 2 - Hardware Description Installation Preparations
Alvarion BreezeNET B300 13 Technical User Manual
2.3 Installation Preparations
2.3.1 Required Components and Accessories
Before 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 tools
2.3.2 Antenna Placement
When 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 Preparations
Alvarion BreezeNET B300 14 Technical User Manual
Power lines
To 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.
NOTE
While planning, it is strongly recommended to consult high-qualified and experienced technicians
NOTE
Antenna 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 Preparations
Alvarion BreezeNET B300 15 Technical User Manual
2.3.3 Antenna Poles Usage
Antenna 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 Stretching
Usually 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 Pole
Usually 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 Requirements
Ease 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-BS
Antenna 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 Preparations
Alvarion BreezeNET B300 16 Technical User Manual
A 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 Alignment
To 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 coordination
CAUTION
Antenna 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.

Use GPS receiver and area map
Use build-in Device features. These features allow evaluating current
channel/signal quality and perform precise antenna alignment
2.3.9 Precaution Measures
Before 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

Illustration Description
Step 1. Peel STP service cable and
prepare "RJ-45" connector parts.
Use RJ-45 connector without
grounding here (RJ-45 connector
with grounding is used for
connecting service cable to IDU).
Step 2. Stick rubber filler - 5 on the
Part 4, previously having removed
protective white layer from rubber
filler -5.
Insert Part 2 inside part 4 up to the
stop. Part 2 must be entirely within
Part 4.
Step 3. Put connector parts on the
STP service cable as shown.
Attach RJ-45 connector without
grounding to the STP service cable
according to the "RJ-45" soldering
scheme and crimp the connector.

3Prepare RF-cables of the required length. The recommended maximal RF cable
length is 1 meter.
4Install and isolate the connectors on the RF cables
5Determine the STP cable length that is used to connect IDU and ODU. The
total cable length between LAN (behind IDU) and ODU should not be longer
than 100 meters. Service cable connecting IDU and ODU should be STP Cat
5E cable.
6Install (solder) connector for ODU on the STP cable and isolate it
7If it is possible to lay STP cable with a connector on the IDU side, install
(solder) connector for IDU on the STP cable and isolate it
8Lay the STP cable "from top to bottom" - from ODU to IDU
9If step 7 is not accomplished, after the STP cable has been laid, install (solder)
connector for IDU

12 Isolate the ODU connector joint place
13 Once the antenna and antenna pole are installed they must be grounded via
lightning protection grounding contour. Antenna's position must be lower than
the highest antenna pole point at least by 2 antenna heights. If antenna is
NOT DC-shorted (see antenna technical documentation), the additional
lightning arrestor must be used which is placed between ODU and antenna
and is grounded to the antenna pole grounding contour.
14 Connect RF cables to the antenna. Twist the connectors tightly
15 Connect RF cables to the ODU previously having touched RF cable connectors
case with ODU connector case
16 Isolate RF connectors from both sides (ODU and antenna)
