Planning for connectorized units
This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning to use connectorized
ODUs with external antennas in PTP 700 links.
When to install connectorized units
The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the integrated antenna in the
Connectorized+Integrated ODU. However the integrated antenna may not be sufficient in some
areas, for example:
• Where the path is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an NLOS link.
• Where long LOS links (>23 km or >14 miles) are required.
• Where there are known to be high levels of interference.
LINKPlanner can be used to identify these areas of marginal performance.
In these areas, connectorized external antennas should be used.
Choosing external antennas
When selecting external antennas, consider the following factors:
• The required antenna gain.
• Ease of mounting and alignment.
• Antenna polarization:
o For a simple installation process, select one dual-polarization antenna (as the integrated
antenna) at each end.
o To achieve spatial diversity, select two single-polarization antennas at each end. Spatial
diversity provides additional fade margin on very long LOS links where there is
evidence of correlation of the fading characteristics on Vertical and Horizontal
polarizations.
Note
Enter the antenna gain and cable loss into the Installation Wizard, if the country
selected has an EIRP limit, the corresponding maximum transmit power will be
calculated automatically by the unit.
