Chapter 1 - IntroductionSystem Overview1.1 System Overview4Motion is designed as an end-to-end solution based on the following elements:• Base Transceiver Station (BTS) equipment with an optional localized access service network gateway(ASN-GW). There are three BTS configurations:» Indoor modular Macro BTS.» All-outdoor modular Macro BTS.» All-outdoor single sector Micro BTSThe above configurations share some common equipment, such as Outdoor Unit (ODU), Antenna,and GPS (see “BTS Common Equipment” on page 5).• ASN-GW, provided by either Alvarion or its leading WiMAX partners. There are three configurations:» Centralized» Mini-Centralized» Distributed• AAA servers provided by either Alvarion or its leading WiMAX partners• STAR Management Suite for network management, includes the following management tools:» AlvariSTAR: Base station management for WiMAX network deployment and operation» StarACS: Device management system supporting any TR-69 device» StarDM: Large-scale, multi-protocol device management system for automated device activationand service introduction» StarQuality: Performance and traffic monitoring system for ensuring QoS and WiMAX networkoptimization» StarReport: Business Objects-based tool providing network configuration and performancevisibility• Customer premises equipment (CPE) and handsetsFigure 1-1 illustrates the entire service provider environment and 4Motion solution elements within theradio access network, core network and subscriber environment.4Motion Installation Manual2

Chapter 1 - IntroductionSystem OverviewFigure 1-1: 4Motion Solution ElementsThis Installation manual focuses on the Radio Access Network part of the solution (colored orange inFigure 1-1). This part includes the BTS, ODUs, GPS and antennas. For complementary information aboutthe installation process, refer to the Installation Procedure.Use the following figure as a reference for the equipment description:4Motion Installation Manual3

Chapter 1 - IntroductionBTS Common Equipment1.2 BTS Common Equipment1.2.1 Outdoor Radio Unit (ODU)The outdoor unit (ODU) is a high-power, multi-carrier radio unit that connects to one or more externalantennas.The following ODU port configurations are available:Table 1-1: ODU Port ConfigurationsItem Description Interface Comments1x1 (1Rx by 1 Tx)One receive port, onetransmit portOne Tx/Rx interface4x2 (4Rx by 2Tx)Four receive ports, twotransmit portsTwo Tx/Rx interfaces2x2 (2Rx by 2Tx)Two receive ports, twotransmit portsTwo Tx/Rx interfacesFor Macro Outdoor BTSsFor ODU installation refer to “AU-ODU Installation” on page 122.1.2.2 Antenna1.2.3 GPSIn the 4Motion architecture, the antenna is approached as an independent element. This provides theoperator with the flexibility to select the antenna source according to its supplier policy. To ensure theavailability of antennas that complement the 4Motion solution, Alvarion works closely with severalantenna suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that comply with its requirements.Alvarion can provide recommended antenna specifications based on the required antennas types foradditional antenna vendors.For antenna installation refer to “Antenna Installation” on page 197.GPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located BTSs to ensure that in allBase Stations the air frame start at the same time, and that all Base Stations switch from transmit(downlink) to receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-siteand Inter-site interference and Base stations saturation (assuming that all Base Stations are operatingwith the same frame size and with the same DL/UL ratio).For GPS Installation refer to “GPS Installation” on page 205.4Motion Installation Manual5

Chapter 1 - IntroductionBTS Common Equipment1.2.4 Mini-Centralized ASN GatewayThe Mini-Centralized ASN-GW provides ASN-GW functions in a small package, simplifyingimplementation of various deployment scenarios where a single ASN-GW serves several BTSs.Specifically, it targets high speed transport locations, which would not normally host BTSs, allowingoptimal, flexible, and scalable network design, significantly raising traffic bandwidth and reducingCAPEX and OPEX.The Mini-Centralized ASNGW may complement both indoor and outdoor BTS systems, while operatingconcurrently with integrated ASN-GW instances.For more information on the Mini-Centralized ASN-GW, refer to its specific documentation.1.2.5 IF CombinerThe IF Combiner is a 2-port-in/1-port-out unit that enables transmission of signals from two AUs to asingle ODU connected to the same BTS.To support 2nd/4th order diversity, 2/4 IF Combiners are required per sector, respectively.For Indoor installation in a 19" 1U Rack, an IF Combiner panel is required. This panel contains 12 slotsfor 12 IF Combiner units.The IF Combiner supports up to three geographical sectors, two layers each, of 4th order diversity. Thatis, 6 AUs: 24 ports in and 12 ports out altogether.For IF Combiner Installation, refer to “IF Combiner Installation” on page 172.4Motion Installation Manual6

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsSafety InstructionsRadioThe instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To avoid possible harmful exposure tothis energy, do not stand or work for extended periods of time in front of its antenna. The long-termcharacteristics or the possible physiological effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields have not yetbeen fully investigated.Outdoor Units and Antennas Installation and GroundingEnsure that outdoor units, antennas and supporting structures are properly installed to eliminate anyphysical hazard to either people or property. Make sure that the installation of the outdoor unit, antennaand cables is performed in accordance with all relevant national and local building and safety codes.Even where grounding is not mandatory according to applicable regulation and national codes, it ishighly recommended to ensure that the outdoor unit and the antenna pole (when using externalantenna) are grounded and suitable lightning protection devices are used so as to provide protectionagainst voltage surges and static charges. In any event, Alvarion is not liable for any injury, damage orregulation violations associated with or caused by installation, grounding or lightning protection.For additional information on grounding and lightning protection, refer to Section 2.3 and to Alvarion’sLightning Protection document, available for downloading at www.alvarion.com.Disposal of Electronic and Electrical WasteDisposal of Electronic and Electrical WastePursuant to the WEEE EU Directive electronic and electrical waste must not be disposed of with unsortedwaste.

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsESD Precautions2.2 ESD PrecautionsThe BTS includes devices that may be damaged by accidental introduction of ground or foreign voltages.Electrostatic discharge on a component at a voltage exceeding 600 Volts may damage the component,even if mounted on a board.All electronic components used in 4Motion are subject to ESD electrostatic discharges. Electrostaticdischarges at voltage ratings below 4000V are not normally detected or perceived in any other form bythe persons causing the actual discharges.For example, the natural movements of a person wearing synthetic clothing may generate electrostaticvoltages exceeding 10,000V.Components are damaged by an electrical break in the ultra-thin insulating layer in the integratedcircuits (measuring typically 0.0001 mm). The damage may be serious and cause an immediate functionfailure, or remain latent and occur at a later time (even after several years).4Motion Installation Manual15

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsLightning Protection Guidelines2.3 Lightning Protection GuidelinesThis section provides information on the installation of an effective grounding and suppression system,for the protection of Alvarion products against lightning. For a list of required accessories, see Table 3-5.INFORMATIONIn case of contradiction between this paragraph and the standard requirements of the country in whichthe equipment is installed, the more stringent of the standards will always apply.In case of contradiction between this paragraph and installation instructions provided elsewhere byAlvarion, refer to the full version of the Lightning Protection document, which can be downloaded fromAlvarion's web site www.alvarion.com. It is recommended to occasionally check for updates of thisdocument.The main role of a Grounding System is to minimize lightning damage.This section deals primarily with the grounding of the equipment being installed, however does notdescribe grounding against lightning, or the grounding of buildings.NOTE!Alvarion does not provide any warranties as to the effectiveness of the suggested measures. Theimplementation of the suggested measures is at the customer's own discretion. Under no circumstanceswill Alvarion be liable for any consequences resulting from the implementation or lack ofimplementation of the suggested measures.The Grounding System must be maintained and checked periodically in accordance with localregulations.2.3.1 Lightning Protection PrinciplesLightning protection for Alvarion Outdoor Units (ODU) installed outdoors on towers or poles, is providedby ensuring minimum pickup of lightning induced transients, and by the suppression of transientvoltages at the input and output terminals of both the Indoor and Outdoor units.Minimizing the pickup of induced voltages is accomplished by isolating the Outdoor Units and cablesfrom the lightning down current, and through the use of shielded cables with peripheral shieldgrounding.The outdoor Radio Units and Antennas are connected mechanically to the tower or pole, which is in turngrounded in accordance with the requirements of most safety standards, therefore the Outdoor Unitsare grounded as well.Isolating the outdoor units from the tower carrying the lightning down current is theoretically appealing,however, when the outdoor units are installed on conducting towers any such isolation will be rendereduseless during rain. Therefore, it is recommended to ground the Outdoor Units and the associatedshield/signal grounds of the IF/RF cables to the tower or pole, which are grounded themselves inaccordance with the requirements of most safety standards.In order to limit the amount of lightning current flowing on the shields of the IF cables, only onegrounding point is allowed for the shields to the tower or pole. This is the point where the OutdoorUnits are grounded to the pole. This way, the current arriving from the lightning to the earth will prefer4Motion Installation Manual16

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsLightning Protection Guidelinesthe down conductor from the lightning rod or the structure of the tower or pole, rather than the pathalong the shield, thus protecting the equipment.In addition, the IF Cable shields must be grounded (at the other end) to the entry panel at the facilitybuilding.To further protect the IF cables from lightning-induced voltages, the cables must be installed inside thetower or pole whenever possible, and must be isolated from the tower or pole structure and the downconductor. This ensures some degree of shielding of the IF cables from the effects of electromagneticfields associated with lightning strikes, and provides protection against direct strikes to the cables.2.3.2 Lightning Protection System ComponentsThis section describes the components of a typical Lightning Protection System (LPS):• Air terminal• Down conductor• Outdoor units grounding• Earth termination system• Lightning protectors2.3.2.1 Air TerminalThe Air Terminal is the part of the LPS that intercepts lightning flashes. It blocks the downward-movingstepped leader of the lightning strike, by launching an upward-going attachment spark. Once theattachment is achieved, the bulk of lightning current follows the ionized path. This way, the air terminaldiverts the lightning away from personnel and electronic equipment.If an Air Terminal is not installed at the highest point of the tower or pole, the radio element connectedto the highest point, usually the antenna, is most likely the attachment point.The Air Terminal must be a steel construction with a pointed tip. Referring to Figure 2-1 below, theheight (H) of the Air Terminal tip above the highest Alvarion element on the tower or pole, typically theantenna, must be at least twice the distance (2 x d) between the outer surface of the antenna and thetower or pole. This will ensure a “protection cone” of 60º around the tower or pole. In areas of highlightning activity, the length (H) should be increased to up to 5 times the distance.If a remote electrical tilt is used, “d” represents the maximum horizontal distance.4Motion Installation Manual17

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsLightning Protection GuidelinesFigure 2-1: Air Terminal and Position Relative to Topmost ElementsThe Air Terminal must be welded to the pole structure and connected to a Down Conductor.2.3.2.2 Down ConductorThe Down-Conductor conducts lightning current from the Air Terminal system to the Earth Terminationsystem (see Figure 2-2).4Motion Installation Manual18

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsLightning Protection GuidelinesFigure 2-2: Down Conductor and Earth TerminationThe Down Conductor must be straight and vertically installed in order to provide the shortest and mostdirect path to earth. The formation of bends must be avoided.The following table defines the minimum dimensions for down conductors according to IEC 1024-1:Table 2-1: Down Conductor Minimum DimensionsMaterialConductorCu 16Al 25Fe 30It is recommended that the Down-Conductor be at least 50 mm 2 or AWG 0 in all cases.The grounding of the Down Conductor to earth must be of ground resistance no higher than 5 Ohm.This is achieved by using Earth Terminations and, wherever possible, grounding to the steelre-enforcement bars of the concrete base of the tower.4Motion Installation Manual19

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsLightning Protection Guidelines2.3.2.3 Grounding Outdoor UnitsThe Alvarion Outdoor Unit, consisting of a Radio Frequency Unit and Antenna, includes a groundingpoint for connection to the grounding system. See Section 2.3.1.INFORMATIONFor standard communication sites with the following characteristics, grounding of the outdoor units isnot required (although such grounding will increase the level of protection):• The pole/tower is grounded• A standard Air Termination lightning rod is installed• Coaxial (IF/RF) cables are grounded at the facility entrance• The resistance between the Air Terminal and the Earth Termination is less than 5.2.3.2.4 Earth Termination SystemThe Earth Termination System is the part of external LPS that conducts and disperses lightning current toearth. See Figure 2-2.2.3.2.5 Lightning Protectors (Surge Arrestors)Lightning Protectors provide an additional protection to the Alvarion equipment embedded protectors,in places where lightning occurs frequently.Electrical surges are composed of two elements: voltage and quantity of charge. A very high voltagesurge can damage electronic equipment by breaking down the insulating medium between the circuitelements, or between the circuit elements and ground. In order to protect an electronic circuit fromdamage, a Lightning Protector (or Surge Arrestor) must conduct sufficient charge from the surge inorder to lower the surge voltage to a safe level. It must also conduct fast enough in order to prevent thecircuit insulation from breaking down.Alvarion products contain embedded Lightning Protectors at their IF input ports.Robust surge protection devices (SPD) are part of internal circuits, and are mounted on I/O portsconnecting Indoor and Outdoor units via outdoor cables.The BTS IDU and ODU IF ports are protected by high current capability TVSs mounted on board.If additional protection is required, for example, in high lightning activity (Keraunic) areas, externalLightning Protectors can be installed at strategic points at the site.INFORMATIONKeraunic maps are available at various links when searching for “Worldwide map of Keraunic levels”.A Lightning Protector will “clip” any excessive surge voltage that may be present on the centerconductor.4Motion Installation Manual20

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsLightning Protection GuidelinesFor Alvarion’s IF solutions, only “Gas Gap” Lightning Protectors types, designed to cover the IF frequencyrange, must be used. Only “Gas Gap” Lightning Protectors are capable of passing the DC currentrequired to power the Outdoor Unit.2.3.2.6 Installation Practices for an IF-Type SystemThis section relates to BTS outdoor installation practices. Figure 2-3 illustrates radio equipment installedon a tower.Referring to Figure 2-3, an Air Terminal (Lightning Rod) is attached to the top of the tower. The AirTerminal connects to a Down-Conductor that runs to an Earth Termination at the foot of the tower.Figure 2-3: Radio Equipment Mounted on a TowerINFORMATIONThe ground system must be maintained and checked periodically in accordance with local regulations.4Motion Installation Manual21

Chapter 2 - Safety and PrecautionsLightning Protection GuidelinesThe Antenna and Radio Units (two sectors are shown in Figure 2-3) are attached to the tower withmounting brackets. The Radio Units are connected to the Antennas via RF Cables. The IF Cables from theRadio Units (to the Indoor Units) run down the tower through Mounting Blocks, as shown in Figure 2-4.Figure 2-4: Mounting Blocks and Metal Grounding PlateReferring to Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4, the Radio Units' (ODU) ground cables are connected to a MetalGrounding Plate using Cable Terminals. The Metal Grounding Plate is connected (welded) to the tower.The Air Terminal Down Conductor is clamped to the cable that runs down from the Metal GroundingPlate.At the entry point to the facility building, the IF Cable shields are physically attached to another MetalGrounding Plate (with feed through panel mount coaxial connectors for each cable. See Figure 2-5below). The building's Metal Grounding Plate is grounded separately from the tower. This ensures thatthe lightning current from the tower is diverted from the building.4Motion Installation Manual22

The Radio Unit isconnected to the Antenna via an RF Cable. The IF Cable from the Radio Unit (to an Indoor Unit) runsdown the pole via Cable Hangers, and enters the building via a Metal Grounding Plate grounded at thebuilding wall.The IF Cable shields are physically attached to the building's Metal Grounding Plate, with feed throughpanel mount coaxial connectors for each cable. The building's Metal Grounding Plate is groundedseparately from the pole. This ensures that the lightning current from the pole is diverted from thebuilding.

Chapter 3 - Planning the Installation SiteHeat Dissipation and Cooling Requirements for Indoor BTS3.5 Heat Dissipation and Cooling Requirements forIndoor BTSThe BreezeMAX shelf is intended for mounting in a rack or cabinet or other rigid framework which isfixed to the building. A 2.2-meter or 2.6-meter rack can accommodate up to three shelves. SeeTable 3-4 for the operating temperature range of the indoor equipment. Typically, there is no spacelimitation or minimum equipment clearances for the BTS.The shelf is cooled by the flow of air between the elements mounted in the cabinet. The fans and airbaffles ensure that sufficient air flows between the elements. The cooling system, including the baffleand fan tray, is supplied with each shelf and is an integral part of the shelf. It does not require separateinstallation.Unused slots should remain closed as it can affect the cooling of the BTS.To calculate the heat dissipation of the BTS:Use the following formula to calculate the heat dissipation for each BTS:[(Module 1 power consumption) + (Module 2 power consumption) + … (Module N powerconsumption)] x 2.3884 = BTUFor example, for a BTS with 1 AU and 1 NPU (and no redundancy), the heat dissipation is as follows:[(PIU = 30 Watt) + (PSU = 200 Watt) + (NPU = 65 Watt) + (AU-IDU = 41 Watt) + (AVU = 24 Watt)] x2.3884 = 860 BTU4Motion Installation Manual32

Thus, the maximum peak power of the system is 453.5 + 1090 = 1543.5W (38.1A @ -40.5VDC).The maximum average power consumption of each ODU, assuming UL-DL (Rx/Tx) ratio of 12-34 is(15*12+90*34)/46 = 70.4W. Thus, the maximum average power required for the whole system is 453.5+ 70.4*12 = 1298.3W (32A @ -40.5 VDC).4.1.2.3 Power Feeder RequirementsAccording to required configuration, each AU can be connected to one, two, or four 1x1 ODUs that arepowered via the IF port. The AU may also be connected to either one or two 2x2/4x2 ODUs that arepowered via the TX/Rx Ports (Ports 1 and 3).The PIU of the Macro Indoor BTS can support a maximum current of 58 A (@-40.5 VDC). In certaininstallations with a relatively high number of ODUs, this current may not be sufficient to power the shelfand all the ODUs. In such installations the ODU Power Feeder is used as an additional power sourceproviding power (-48 VDC) to ODUs. It transfers transparently all signals between the AU and the ODU,while injecting DC power received from an external source. Each ODU Power Feeder unit can serve up tofour TX/RX ODU ports.When using the 58A PIU, a Power Feeder is required in a configuration of five or six AUs where each AUis connected to four 2.x GHz or 3.5 GHz 1x1 ODUs, or two 2x2 ODUs. For 6 AUs two power feeders arerequired.A 19” panel can hold up to three ODU Power Feeder modules.For more details on the Power Feeder installation, refer to “ODU Power Feeder Installation (Optional)”on page 61.4Motion Installation Manual41

Therefore, it is recommended to crimp alug onto the end of cable as shown in Figure 7-48, and attach the cable to the same threaded rods thatare used as part of the bracket.4Motion Installation Manual166

Chapter 7 - AU-ODU InstallationConnecting the CablesFigure 7-48: Connecting the Grounding Cable to the 1x1 ODUThe shield (outside conductor) of the coaxial cable must be connected to a good ground connection atthe top (next to the unit), and on entering the building/shelter. If the cable is longer than 60m (200 ft.),ground the cable also at mid point and at another point before curving of the IF cable towards the baseband unit/shelter.INFORMATIONOnly the shield of the cable should be secured to the grounding points. As there is a DC current flowingon the center conductor of the cable, any connection to the center conductor would interfere with thisDC current.This includes the insertion of any lightning protection devices.To connect the grounding cable:1 Connect the grounding cable to the grounding screw located at the bottom panel of theAU-ODU (see Figure 7-45, Figure 7-46 and Figure 7-47). Use an M10 wrench and apply torque of 6.4[N*m] (55.3 [lbs*in]).INFORMATIONDo not pull the cable to avoid stretching it. Leave enough cable length between the strip and theconnection on both sides of the cable.2 Use cable strips to attach the cable to the pole.3 Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a good ground (earth) connection.For information on lightning protection, see Section 2.3.4Motion Installation Manual167

Chapter 7 - AU-ODU InstallationConnecting the Cables7.8.4 Connecting the Antenna RF CableRefer to “Antenna Connections” on page 199.7.8.5 Connecting the ODU IF CablesThe ODU is connected to the AU-IDU (Indoor BTS), Macro ODU, and Micro ODU BTSs via an IF cablecarrying both signals and power. For details on the IF cable requirements see Section 3.2. Beforeconnecting the IF cable, make sure that the length of the IF cable is sufficient to reach the BTS. SeeTable 3-1 for IF Cable length limitation.An optional IF Combiner is available for transmitting signals from two AUs to a single ODU in the sameBTS. For using this option, refer to “IF Combiner Installation” on page 172.7.8.5.1 Color Coding for Easy IF Cable IdentificationIt is good practice, especially when installing more than one ODU, to mark the IF cables routed betweenthe ODUs and the BTS for easy identification from a distance and for maintenance. One solution formarking is attaching colored marking tapes to the cables, close to the BTS on one end and close to theODU on the other end.Use the following guidelines for marking the cables, and refer to Figure 7-49 for illustration of thesolution:• Select one color for each set of ODU-BTS connections.• Attach one to four tapes to the cables by the number of connections. For example: attach one redtape on both ends of IF-1 cable, two red tapes on both ends of IF-2 cable, and so on. See Figure 7-49.• Apply the same logic when connecting ODUs to an outdoor AU (NAU, DAU, SAU)4Motion Installation Manual168

Chapter 7 - AU-ODU InstallationConnecting the Cables• Secure the coaxial cable so that there is no mechanical stress at the antenna connection. Follow thesuperstructure with the coaxial cable to its base to the building.• If the coaxial cable requires suspension from the ODU to the building, use a stranded wire to supportthe coaxial cable weight. (The support will prevent a migration of the coaxial cable's inner conductorto the shield).To connect the ODU IF cable:1 Connect the male TNC connector of the IF cable to the female TNC connector on the ODU (IFconnector).Figure 7-50: Connecting the IF Cable2 Attach colored marking tape to the cable for simplified identification and maintenance as described inSection 7.8.5.1.3 Connect the other end of the IF cable to the ODU connector at the designated AU front panel.NOTE!• Connect each IF connector to its corresponding ODU port. That is, connect IF-1 on the ODU to ODU1 on the AU, IF-2 to ODU 2, etc.• When there is more than one ODU and the system is operating, first connect IF-1 and 3 to ODU ports1 and 3 and then connect IF-2 and 4 to ODU ports 2 and 4.CAUTIONDo not connect IF cables to the calibration (CAL-1 and CAL-2) connectors.4Motion Installation Manual170

Chapter 9 - Antenna InstallationIntroduction9.1 IntroductionIn the 4Motion architecture, the antenna is approached as an independent element. This provides theoperator with the flexibility to select the antennas source according to its supplier policy. To ensure theavailability of antennas that complement the 4Motion solution, Alvarion works closely with severalantenna suppliers.If the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Alvarion can provide a recommended antennaspecification based on the required antennas types.CAUTIONONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and,wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should installoutdoor units and antennas.Failure to do so may void the 4Motion product warranty and may expose the end user or ServiceProvider to legal and financial liabilities. Alvarion and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury,damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.Figure 9-1: Example of Antenna Used in the 4Motion Solution4Motion Installation Manual190

Chapter 9 - Antenna InstallationAntenna Installation Requirements9.2 Antenna Installation RequirementsThe following equipment is required to complete installation of the antennas, including all equipmentrequired for controlling the electronic downtilt of the antennas (RET):• Antennas, including mounting kit (fixed and adjustable downtilt)• Remote Cable Outdoor Termination Unit (3 Way AISG 1 Breakout Box): one for 1-3 antennas, two for4-6 antennas• Long AISG Remote Cable (available in lengths of 60 or 80 m)• Remote Cable Termination Panel• Short AISG Remote Cables (available in lengths of 2, 3 or 5m according to the distance of the RemoteCable Outdoor Termination Unit from the antennas): one for each antenna. An additional cable isrequired if two Remote Cable Outdoor Termination Units are used.• Remote Downtilt Control Kit (if applicable)• RF cables for connecting the antenna to the ODU(s)For instructions on installing the antenna, refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions providedwith the antenna.For information on positioning more than one Antenna for achieving diversity in RX and in TX, refer tothe 4Motion System Manual.1. AISG - Antenna Interface Standards Group4Motion Installation Manual191

Chapter 9 - Antenna InstallationGuidelines for Positioning the Antenna9.3 Guidelines for Positioning the AntennaSelect the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines:• The antennas are pole or wall mounted. Their location should enable easy access to the unit forinstallation and testing.• The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality.• Install the antenna as close as possible to the ODU.• The antenna should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the coverage area.• Install the antenna so as to provide coverage to the intended service area.INFORMATION The recommended minimum distance between any two antennas in neighboring sectors is 0.5 m.The minimum distance between any two antennas in the same sector (space diversity configuration) is1.3m, that is 10λ, where λ=C/Frequency (Hz). C is the speed of light in centimeters per second which isequal to 29,979,245,800.Not applying this recommendation may affect the diversity gain.4Motion Installation Manual192

Chapter 9 - Antenna InstallationAntenna Installation Scenarios9.4 Antenna Installation ScenariosThe following paragraphs describe the various antenna installation scenarios on the sector level:» Scenario 1 - The antenna is installed outside the boundaries of the roof.» Scenario 2 - The antenna is installed on the edge of the roof.» Scenario 3 - The antenna is installed toward the center of the roof.INFORMATIONWhen positioning the antenna, follow the radio planning guidelines, if applicable. Otherwise, use thefollowing guidelines.9.4.1 Scenario 1In this scenario, the AU antenna is installed outside the boundaries of the roof. The antenna may beinstalled below the rooftop level, or on a pole outside the boundaries of the roof.Figure 9-2: Antenna Installed Outside Roof's BoundariesWhen the antenna is lower than the roof level or the railing's top, there are two limitations:1 The minimum distance between the antenna and the railing or building side is 25 cm.2 The angle between the antenna and the roof is 22 degrees.These limitations assure that the antenna pattern is not affected by the reflections caused by the wall. Ifthe wall is too close to the antenna, the antenna pattern is affected and the coverage of the site may notbe as expected. This may also increase interferences to other sites.4Motion Installation Manual193

Chapter 9 - Antenna InstallationAntenna Installation Scenarios9.4.2 Scenario 2In this scenario, the antenna is installed on a pole on top of the railing. The antenna is not blocked byanything on the roof, or on adjacent roofs. In this scenario it is essential to maintain a minimum distanceof 1.5m between the lower part of the antenna and the top of the roof, fence or railing, whichever iscloser to the antenna.9.4.3 Scenario 3Figure 9-3: Antenna Installed on the Edge of the RoofIn this scenario, the antenna is installed on a pole, similar to Scenario 2, and the pole is installed towardsthe center of the roof. The antenna may be blocked by objects on the roof or by the railing or fence. Inthis scenario it is essential to maintain a minimum distance between the lower part of the antenna andfence or railing, in order to minimize disturbance of the antenna's lobe. In this scenario, the railing orfence would create shading.4Motion Installation Manual194

Chapter 9 - Antenna InstallationAntenna Installation ScenariosFigure 9-4: Antenna Installed at the Center of the RoofThe distance to the roof's floor and the fence depends on the distance of the antenna from the railing.The farther the horizontal distance of the antenna from the raising, the larger the vertical distanceshould be.4Motion Installation Manual195

Chapter 9 - Antenna InstallationAntenna Down-Tilt Guidelines9.5 Antenna Down-Tilt GuidelinesAntennas may support mechanical down tilt (MDT), electrical down tilt (EDT), and remote electrical tilt(RET). Typical adjustment ranges for MDT and EDT are 0 to -10 degrees.It is recommended to minimize the usage of MDT, preferring EDT instead.The degree of tilt to be used is highly dependant on sector configuration and specific environmentconsiderations and conditions. It also depends on network rollout stage - in the initial stage, when notmany sites are deployed in a specific area, a certain tilt is to be applied to maximize the coveragefootprint of the existing sites, and at a later stage, when more sites are built, the degree of tilt per sectormay be increased to control the inter-site interference.Table 9-1 shows typical numbers provided only as a reference for initial site deployment.Table 9-1: Typical EDT ValuesEnvironmentEDT (degrees)Dense urban 6Urban 6Suburban 4Rural 24Motion Installation Manual196
