4 Product OverviewE-Link Eagle EP and SP models are millimeter wave transmission

systems provide cost effective solutions for ultra-high capacity point-to-point wireless network connections. E-Link Eagle operates in the 71-76

and 81-86 GHz millimeter wave bands supporting a tributary data rateof 1,000Mbps (i.e. line data rate of GigE) in full duplex mode. Like most

high frequency radio transmission systems, millimeter wave systemsrequire line-of-sight.

In the United States and most other countries, the operational

frequency band covers two band segments (71-76 and 81-86 GHz). Inorder to operate in these band segments, most countries require a

license to operate from a regulatory agency (such as the FCC in theU.S.A.). Please consult the regulator in your area for licensing and

operating requirements.

5 Site PlanningBefore starting installation, a site survey should be conducted of the

proposed area where the link will be deployed. The survey personnel

should be fully familiar with the details required to install the E-LinkEagle radio system. Section 9 and Section 10 contains a site survey

process description and a check list to aid in determining theapplicability of E-Link Eagle for your site.

E-Band can also help you with the feasibility and calculate the linkavailability in your area. Please contact your E-Band representative for

link feasibility and availability support.

5.1

Line-of-Sight (LOS)

The E-Link Wireless Gigabit Ethernet link requires line-of-sight (LOS)for proper operation. Binoculars and signaling mirrors or strobe lightscan be used to assist in confirming that an LOS condition exists.

Path planning should include research into future building plans thatcould block the LOS path, and other long-term incremental obstructions

such as tree growth, or intermittent obstructions such as aircraftpossibly flying through the path. Furthermore, no obstacles should be

situated in the vicinity of the signal propagation line (inside the firstFresnel region).

Obstructions in the path can generally be identified by using binoculars.

The characteristics of a radio signal cause it to occupy a broad cross-

section of space, called the Fresnel Zone, between the antennas.

Figure 3 shows the area occupied by the strongest radio signal, called

the First Fresnel Zone, which surrounds the direct line between theantennas.


16/58

16 of 58

Because of the shape of the First Fresnel Zone, what appears to be a

clear line-of-sight path may not be line-of-sight. As long as 60 percentof the First Fresnel Zone is clear of obstructions, the link behavesessentially the same as a clear free-space path. The first Fresnel zone

radius is the greatest at mid-path (r).

Figure 3: Fresnel Zone Clearance

The following table shows the minimum Fresnel Zone clearance needed

for various path lengths (d) in the 71-86 GHz band:

5.2Link Distance

Measurement of the link distance is important in estimating the link

availability and calculating expected Receive Signal Level (RSL).Thismeasurement can be performed using the Latitude and Longitude

coordinate readings from a Global Positioning System (GPS) device,which is placed near the proposed locations of the antennas. The GPScoordinates/readings are required to comply with the regulatoryregistration process.

The maximum usable link distance is controlled by the rain rate wherethe link will be located. Rain attenuation of millimeter wave signals has

been the subject of numerous studies which has resulted in several

mathematical models being developed to predict link availability. These

models take into account the attenuation and scattering of themillimeter wave signal during a rain event. The intensity of the rainevent determines the maximum link distance based on specific link

availability. The International Telecommunications Union has publishedcharts dividing the world into various rain regions (seeFigure 4,Figure

5 and

Figure 6 for the charts of the world).

These charts can be used as an aid in predicting availabilityperformance of millimeter wave transmission systems. These regions

are labeled by using an alpha notation with region A having the least

and region P having the highest rain rate.

Based on the rain region charts, it is possible to calculate the linkavailability for an E-Link Eagle system in a specific rain region.

The following chart estimates the link availability for a given link

availability and rain region.

Site Survey

The following equipment may be useful in conducting the survey:

Binoculars

WAAS-capable (Wide Area Augmentation System) GPS locationdevice to determine the latitude and longitude of each site

Tape measure to determine distances for cable run lengths to

ingress points Digital camera to take pictures of the installation sites to reduce

the need for return visits Site survey report or sketch pad to document and help assess

site

Signaling mirror or battery powered strobe light for determiningline-of-sight where it is difficult to determine each end of the link

When performing the site survey, there are a few important steps to

follow in order to ensure a successful installation of the E-Link Eaglesystem.

Measure the point-to-point distance using GPS coordinates.

Determine the rain region where the equipment will be located.

Ensure that the antenna has sufficient path clearance. Table 2 showsthe minimum path clearance required for operation of an E-Link Eagle

radio.

Determine whether there is swaying vegetation or obstacles in the line-of-sight which can cause momentary interruptions.

Determine whether there are work activities or people passing in front

of the antennas that could cause interference with the line-of-sight.Typically the radio terminal should be mounted near a roof edge.Mounting the radio near a roof edge reduces the chance of people

interfering with the path, and reduces the chance for RF exposure.

Ensure that the radio is safe from damage by vandals.

Verify that the mounting location for the antenna is stable and vibration

free.Evaluate the foundation at the mounting location. Make sure that it isnot susceptible to change due to humidity or temperature variations.

Ensure that there is adequate earth/grounding area for the equipmentfor safety and lightning protection. Refer to local and national electrical

codes for proper equipment grounding.


23/58

Antenna Alignment Bolts

The E-Band 80GHz antenna mount uses a single bolt to adjust the

elevation of the antenna up and down with a smooth action using a fine

pitch adjustment to accommodate the narrow beamwidth of the 80GHzsignal.

Figure 16: Elevation Adjustment Bolt

The same type of smooth action bolt concept is used for the azimuth

adjustment with a front pivot point, rather than a center pivot point.This front pivot allows for simpler and more accurate antenna lock

down without losing the alignment already obtained.

7.3

Attaching the Radio to the Antenna

The E-Band 80GHz antenna comes with a rubber cap to protect the

antenna port from moisture and dust during shipment and installation.

Attached to the cap is the silicone lubricant used to lubricate the O-ringallowing the radio ODU to slip on the antenna. The lubricant also aidsin sealing the antenna and ODU from water ingress.

Figure 18: Antenna Port Protection

Remove the dust cap and lubricate the O-ring prior to mounting theradio on the antenna. When lubricating the O-ring, do not use fingers,

as the oil from skin can cause the silicone to break down and decrease

the life of the lubricant.

Radio Enclosure Mounting

The Antenna Mount Bracket and Antenna, as shown in

Figure 24, is mounted to the pole. A small tube of silicon lubricant is

supplied with the antenna. Apply a small amount to the rubber O-ringlocated on the antenna feed. This grease will aid in sliding the RF uniton to the antenna and help seal against moisture.

Using the handle, slide the E-Link terminal left or right for Vertical or

Horizontal polarization and connect the four captive latches/bales, thensnap into a locked position as shown in

Figure 24 and Figure 25.Vertical is the default configuration. Handle

orientation determines polarity. Top is vertical, left/right ishorizontal

.Weather using Vertical or Horizontal Polarity always insure thatports are facing downward to help prevent water intrusion.

It is critically important that a link consist of a High Band ODU and aLow Band ODU. In addition, verify that the ODUs on each side of the

link are oriented to the same polarization (vertical-vertical or

horizontal-horizontal). A radio set in the vertical polarization will notoperate properly with another radio set in a horizontal polarization. E-Band recommends that Vertical polarization as preferred orientation.

Located near the handle on each radio is a label identifying High Band

and Low Band ODUs.

8 Turning on and Link Alignment

8.1

Visually align the radios.

Visually align the radios to each other. Be as accurate as possible. The

beamwidth of the signal is approximately 0.9 degrees for the 1 ft(0.3m) and 0.4 degrees for the 2 ft (0.6m). This is approximately

equivalent to an index-finger width when onesarm is fully extended.Align as closely to the center of the main lobe as possible. Loosen the

pole mount bracket enough to allow the unit to swing horizontally withonly slight resistance to movement azimuth.

Visually align one end of the point-to-point link. Repeat this procedurefor the other end. In situations where it may be difficult to see theother end of the link, a small mirror or strobe light can be used to flash

the location.

This concludes the visual alignment steps.

Lightning protection is required by E-Band Communications (see the E-Band Warranty Statement). Failure to provide proper lightning

protection can result in the Product Warranty being void.

Lightning protection regulations and standards for proper protection arecovered under the national or regional electrical safety codes such asthe National Electrical Code in the United States. Follow your national

or regional electrical safety codes.

The outdoor components must be grounded, and lightning arrestorsmust be connected in accordance with local, regional and national

codes. All local building and electrical codes specified by local civil

authorities must be followed. Standard safety procedures for installingand working with this type of equipment must also be followed.

CAUTION

8.2

Rough link alignment.

Connect a Digital Volt Meter to the RSSI BNC connector on the ODU at

each end of the link. The RSSI will vary between 0 and 5V with

increasing RSSI resulting in an increasing voltage.Verify that -48VDC power is connected to each radio and that the radiois powered. (Observe the power indicator LED on ODU)

Using the User Interface/UI, set transmit power output to the valuedetermined by the Link Calculation tool or from the UI ATPC Setup

webpage. Refer to the User Interface manual for additional informationon this function. Navigate to the ATPC setup page and select Disable

for the combo box and Submit.

Loosen the pole mount brackets enough to allow you to swing the unit

to horizontal azimuth.If you can see the far-end radio terminal, estimate the alignmentvisually and tighten the pole mount brackets with the fine adjustment

bolt set to the middle of the adjustment range.

Ensure that the horizontal adjustment bolts are snug; only tighten bolts

one quarter of a turn.

Slightly rotate each antenna up/down for best vertical alignment and

left/right for best horizontal alignment by finding the maximum RSSIvoltage reading.

To ensure that the antennas are not aligned on a side-lobe, they mustbe rotated at least ten degrees on each side of the visually-perceived

alignment center to ensure that the true maximum RSSI voltage isfound.

Note: It is recommended that personnel be present at both of the linkduring the link alignment process. They should be equipped with eithertwo-way radios or cell phones for communication. Installers should

allow at 1 hour to optimally align the link.

Repeat alignment steps on the far-end radio.

8.3

Fine link alignment.

Loosen the 4 Azimuth Lock bolts so that the mounting plate can move.

Failure to loosen the bolts before adjusting will result in damage to themount.

Adjust the mounting plate using the eyebolt and nuts to drive the

antenna to the peak RSSI indicated on the voltmeter. Swing theantenna through the main lobe and out through the 1st right and leftsidelobe. Return to the mainlobe as indicated by the RSSI value.

Note: It may be necessary to reduce the transmit power level during

link alignment in each radio. This will keep the RSL at the distant radiofrom saturating the Receiver, which causes the RSSI to be near its

maximum value on short links, thus reducing the accuracy of aligningto the main lobe of the antenna. In addition, by monitoring the bit error

rate of the link using the internal BERT, this will significantly reduce thepossibility of aligning the antennas to a sidelobe.

Tighten down the azimuth adjustment bolts.

Loosen the three elevation bolts slightly holding the antenna to the

antenna mount. Excessively loosening these bolts will cause difficultlyduring alignment. Caution: failure to loosen these two bolts before

adjustment will cause damage to the mount.

While monitoring the RSSI voltmeter and built-in BER indicator

available in the UI, begin the elevation adjustment by rotating the

Elevation Adjustment Nut. Alignment is obtained by monitoring for

peak RSSI and minimum BER. Again, swing the antenna through themain lobe and proceed to 1stside lobe, confirming the alignment is onthe main lobe. Then lock down the 2 elevation bolts when the RSSI is

peaked and the minimum BER is achieved.

Repeat procedure at remote end.

CAUTION


42/58

42 of 58

It may be necessary to repeat the procedure at both ends of the link to

obtain the optimum signal strength and minimum bit error rate.

Figure 26: Antenna Pattern with Side Lobes

When the link alignment is complete (and if required for link

performance), enable ATPC on each radio terminal for the UI. Refer tothe User Interface manual for additional information on setting ATPC.

Tighten the bolts to lock the antenna in place.

Always evenly tighten the bolts in small increments at a time, thusensuring minimum change to the completed alignment.

Note: While tightening the bolts, continue monitoring the RSSI and BERvalues to confirm that the antenna remains aligned.

Set link to normal operating mode:

a. Remove fiber jumper from RF Unit.

b. Set radio to standard operating mode. This may be

accomplished through the UI or briefly power cycling the radioterminal.

c. Connect the optical cable for the network equipment.

The link is now operational.

When complete, if required for link performance, enable ATPC on eachradio terminal in the UI. Refer to the E-Link Eagle User Interface

manual for additional information.

8.4

Possible Issues encountered while aligning the link

The RSL level should be within 3 dB of predicted levels.

Factors that contribute to low RSL levels are:

Incorrect antenna alignment link is aligned to side lobe and not mainlobe.

While aligning the E-Band radios, it is best to sweep the azimuth in a

grid pattern. Make sure that all the side lobes are identified. Often, aside lobe will appear to be the main lobe. E-Band recommends that ifthe target RSSI is not reached on what is believed to be the main lobe,try aligning to a side lobe.

Double check, make sure that both ends of the link have the correctpolarization as indicated on link budget.

Obstructions such as trees, hills or buildings within the Beamwidth:


46/58

46 of 58

Figure 32: Path Obstructions

There can be many different obstructions that can block the path. Pathsthat are installed in the winter months can be obstructed when Spring

arrives (i.e., when the leaves grow back). Construction cranes, ships,power lineman, window washers, and hills can all be potential

obstructions to line of site.

The mounting pole is not vertical:

Figure 33: Verify Mounting Pole is Plumb

It is very important to have the mast straight and plumb. If the mast is

not plumb, this can cause polarization decoupling which can causeadditional signal loss up to 10 dB or more on a link.


47/58

47 of 58

Install mounting hardware evenly onto mast. If mounts are not evenly

tightened, this will cause the vertical plate to bind while panning theazimuth. This will also limit the adjustment range available.

Figure 34: Square Antenna Mount

Remove any foreign objects from the waveguide on the antenna. Thereis a dust cap or small piece of tape which acts as a dust cover on every

antenna. This dust cover must be removed before installation of the E-Link Eagle ODU.
