Adjusting Configuration and Requirements (Unlicensed Band)

Adjust the antennas at both ends of the link and confirm that the selected equipment meets the performance requirements:

note

Antenna heights are entered from ground level not from the top of the clutter (if using).

The results shown are using the ITU-R P.530-17 propagation model

  1. Adjust the Antenna Heights in the Link Page to given values and add Interference Density. Adjust the Interference Density to the required value.

note

It is not necessary to save the project after each change. Changes are automatically stored in the database after clicking Apply. Project saving is useful to save a snapshot of the project so that future changes can be rolled back using the “Discard Changes” command under the “Projects” menu.
