3.4.5 Line of Sight
The donor antenna which points towards the base station typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight
deviation away from the direction of the BTS can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater
and the BTS may impair the repeater from obtaining any BTS signal. As a result, the repeater cannot transmit signal to the
coverage area. Therefore, a direct line of sight to the BTS for the donor antenna is vital to the function of a repeater. For the
same reason, placing the server antenna in direct line of sight of the coverage area is also necessary.
