3.5 GHz Channel Characteristics

l Total available spectrum : Varies country by

country but generally about 200 MHz
between 3.4 GHz and 3.8 GHz
l Services allowed : Fixed access is usually
specified
l FDD or TDD : This is mixed, some countries
specify FDD only while others allow either
FDD or TDD
l Spectrum per license : Varies from 2 x 5 MHz
to 2 x 56 MHz

including guard-bands and MDS channels,
between 2.495 GHz and 2.690 GHz
l Services allowed : Fixed two-way or
broadcast
l FDD or TDD : Both TDD and FDD are
allowed
l Spectrum per license : 22.5 MHz per license,
a 16.5 MHz block paired with a 6 MHz block,
a total of 8 licenses

Site Survey Methodology

l Take GPS readings from all potential locations

l Estimate building heights by counting the number of
floors (approximately 12 per floor)
l Measure and collect waypoints for all obstructions
along the path (trees, buildings, hills, etc.)
l Take many digital pictures for future reference
l Identify key personnel needed to gain access to
sites (property manager, landlord, security guard,
etc.)
l Use software tools for final analysis

Link Estimator Summary

l Space diversity can improve throughput and

availability in paths which are over water and flat
terrain.
l Several space diversity configuration options are
available depending on the link requirements and
the users budget.
l Non-Line of Sight throughput and availability can be
accurately predicted using the Link Estimator tool.
l The tool provides the flexibility to do what if
scenarios by raising the antenna heights and
increasing the antenna sizes.

Techniques to Combat Interference

l Use Connectorized radios and the largest antennas

possible. Consider High Performance Antennas
l Larger antennas provide a narrower beam and higher
gain.
l Provides the maximum rejection of undesirable noise.
l Use natural obstructions to shield antennas from
each other.
l (i.e. air conditioning units, penthouses, etc.)

l Design networks to achieve maximum angular

discrimination when possible
