3.6 Antenna Alignment during InfiNet Wireless R5000
Installation
Prior to the antenna alignment activity, perform the radio planning activity using either
tool available via , your own RF planning InfiPLANNER https://infiplanner.infinetwireless.com
tool or ordering InfiNet Wireless Professional Services.
To obtain maximum system performance, antennas must be precisely aligned towards one
another according to LOS requirements. General recommendations for antenna alignment are
as follows:
Align antennas using optical equipment (binoculars, spyglass) accompanied by mobile
phone actions coordination
Use GPS receiver, compass and area map
Use build-in InfiNet Wireless unit features. These features allow for the evaluation of the
current channel and signal quality and are a powerful aid in performing precise antenna
alignment.
Antenna polarization must be taken into account while installing. Please check the
corresponding labeling on the antenna and refer to the antenna technical documentation.
Omni-directional and sector antennas have a wide radiation diagram width, thus usually they
either do not require a very precise alignment or it is just not necessary due to radio link
requirements.
In most cases Omni-directional and sector antennas have a vertical polarization. Directional
antennas can be installed either with vertical or horizontal polarization.
