TE 413: Introduction to Telecommunication Networks poster assignment T
INTRODUCTION
When designing a fixed wireless communication system the first step is to
identify an engineering problem.
After the discovering the problem the stages of designing are site selection,
site survey, path profiling, path analysis, frequency, equipment selection,
installation and performance monitoring
Path profiling
Equipment selection
Path profile is drawn using a software where you enter both sites GPS
coordinate examples software GL communications path profile tool and
global mapper.

Mapper.
Site Selection
Site accessibility
Fresnel zone
is an imaginary ellipsoid which surrounds the straight line path between the antenna
the antenna should be high enough to allow the first Fresnel zone to clear hills,
buildings and trees

approximately 7miles

Site Survey
Things to consider when performing site survey
Installation
Path Analysis
Involves determination of the theoretical system performance along the proposed path
Things to consider wind, rain, fog, and atmospheric absorption and their effect to the link
performance
Also the losses must considered during the path analysis most common losses are
Fade margin is a extra signal power added to a given radial link to ensure that the link
will continue working if it suffers signal propagation effect
= system gain + antenna gain + Free space path loss + Cable loss.
cable loss - is a RF energy when carried between antenna and radial equipment
through cable
free space path loss is signal energy lost in a traversing a path in free space only
with no other obstruction
Attenuation in dB = 96.6 + 20 LOG10D+ 20 LOG10F
System gain is arithmetic difference between transmitters output power and the
receivers sensitivity threshold
System gain = transmit power Receiver sensitivity
Antenna gain relative measure of an antennas ability to direct or concentrate radial
frequency energy in a particular direction or pattern, expressed in dBi.
Frequency Planning
Performance monitoring
The transmit frequency from one end is a receiving frequency on the other
end.
The frequency re use is done by using the same frequency with different
polarization (vertical or horizontal).
