Two types (small and large) of O-Rings are provided in a set of 18 to 42
GHz band Andrew/RFS Antenna. Do not use the small size O-Ring for
the installation of direct-mount type ODU or Hybrid/Coupler. If used, a
gap may be left between the antenna and ODU (or Hybrid/Coupler),
which may affects the RF interface causing transmitting/receiving level
down
Proper choices (small or large) of O-Rings are shown in the table below.
2. Do not put silicon grease on an O-Ring.

4. MOUNT COMBINER

Following are brief descriptions regarding the methods of mounting the Combiners,
such as Hybrid and Coupler. For the system using no Combiners, skip this section.

4.1 Adjust Polarization


Determine the polarizations, Vertical or Horizontal, of ODUs to be mounted, then
adjust the Transition Hub on the combiner. When the system uses a Coupler or
Hybrid Combiner, the polarization is adjusted by the transition hub that can be found
on the mounting surface to the Antenna. See notes below also:

NOTES:

1. When using the Coupler and/or Hybrid to mount ODUs, the ODUs can
be set on the Coupler/Hybrid in shape of vertical polarization only. The
actual polarization is adjusted by the Transition Hub placed between
the Antenna and Coupler/Hybrid.

2. The Combiners, such as Hybrids and Couplers, are vertically (V)


polarized at the factory.

3. When the waveguide or coaxial cable is connected between the ODU


and antenna, the vertically polarized ODU is recommended for
installation.

8.3.1.1 Adjust Antenna at Valid Angle

Make sure that the antennas are set at right angle with the ground. If the antenna
angle is improperly adjusted, catching the ground reflections, the traffic will be
unstable.

Antenna, in the first place, should be checked if it is installed at right angle with the
ground.

Figure 8-5 Angle to Adjust Antenna (Recommended Condition)

MAIN BEAM ANGLE OF ANTENNA

ANTENNA SIDE LOBE

GROUND

Antennas are occasionally settled with their faces slightly downward (at minus angle)
in the beginning, where the maximum receiving electric field will be the ground
reflection. If taking this result really as the maximum value, the antennas cannot be
adjusted properly.

8.3.1.2 Tilt-Up Adjustment

For the greater distance lines, the reflecting point gets into the antenna beam angle,
which creates the condition where the direct paths and the reflection paths may be
received at the same level. In this case, the sever fading occurs if the phase of
reflecting wave becomes 180 degree.

The reflecting wave levels can be lowered by tilting up the antenna, which is
effective in reducing the cause of fading.

8.3.4 Adjust XPD (Integrated OMT)

NOTE: Since the cross-polarization signal changes sharply in the axial direction, its
XPD should be adjusted more carefully comparing to adjusting the co-
polarization signal.

Procedure 8-1

1. Pan the Antenna (OMT/ODU mounted) so that the RX LEVEL MON indicates
the maximum value at the ODU of the Main Master and Sub Master channels.

2. At opposing site, power off the ODU of the Sub Master channel (for both No.1
and No.2 Sub Master channels in 1+1 system).

3. In this conditions, check the RX LEVEL MON indication value for XPD at the
ODU of the Sub Master channel.

4. Confirm that the XPD value is more than 25 dB, if not, repeat Azimuth Angle,
Elevation Angle and XPD Adjustment.

5. At opposing site, power on the ODU of the Sub Master channel.

8.4 Safety Guideline for Microwave Radiation Hazard

The radiation levels of Microwave and Millimeter-wave that iPASOLINK series deal
with are very low, and no health hazard has been reported for them so far. However,
advanced countries that care much about health hazard have started regulating the
radiation levels. For EU countries, it is specified by EN50385. In order to follow the
regulation, operators should not work near by the parabolic antenna if its transmitter
is activating. Especially, the radiation level of a specific area (X and Y in the
illustration below) in front of antenna shows higher radiation level.

See the following illustration and Calculation Examples 1 and 2.

Power density level in front of the antenna turns high along the antenna beam. Ensure
not to allow yourself radiated by beams anytime.

Calculation Example 1 X
SAFETY DISTANCE: X m
Y ANTENNA

The power density and field strength level can be obtained by the following
calculation formula:.

P’ + G – 30

P 10
POWER DENSITY: S= (W/m2) = (mW/cm2)
4πR2 40πR 2

Where:
P = Output Power of ODU (W),
P’ = Output Power of ODU (dBm),
G = Antenna Gain (dBi)
(in consideration of the angle and range from antenna)
R = Distance between Human Being and Antenna (m)

Safety distance should be calculated according to the conditions of installation site.


Following show the calculation examples:

 Calculation Example 1 (Front Side of Antenna)


 iPASOLINK = +18 dBm
 Antenna Diameter = 0.6 m
 Antenna Gain = 52 dBi
 Distance = 9.0 m
 Output Power Density: S = 0.982 mW/cm2  1 mW/cm2

Limit: Output Power Density "S" = 10(W/m2)* = 1(mW/cm2)

*: COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION (1999/519/EC) of 12 July in 1999 on the


limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to
300 GHz).

 Calculation Example 2 (Rear Side of Antenna)


 iPASOLINK = +18 dBm
 Antenna Diameter = 0.6 m
 Antenna Gain = –16 dBi
 Distance = 0.004 m = 4.0 m
 Output Power Density: S = 0.788 mW/cm2  1 mW/cm2

Limit: Output Power Density "S" = 10(W/m2)* = 1(mW/cm2)

*: COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION (1999/519/EC) of 12 July in 1999 on the


limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to
300 GHz).

The safety distance that is obtained by the conditions above and is below the value
defined by the COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION (1999/519/EC) of 1 mW/cm2 is:
 Front Side of Antenna (X)  9.0 m
 Rea Side of Antenna (Y)  0.004 m = 4.0 mm
