• Automatic Adaptive Rate (AAR) is a mech interface rate by changing both the signal modulation and coding.

• Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) chooses the best available radio channels and dynamically se lecting a channel which is best suited for transmission at any given time.

• Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) is a mechanism f transmission. When the receiver detects an error in the received information, it automatically requests the transmitter to resend the information. This process is repeated until the transmission is error free or the error continues beyond a predetermined number of maximum transmissions. RAD is optimized for time-critical traffic.

• Forward Error Correction (FEC) with very low cally designed for the varying conditions of license-ex ensuring fast, robust and error-free communications.

Preparing the ODU before Deployment

Each ODU must be pre-loaded with an IP address. This may be done prior to deployment in the field, or on-site using a Laptop computer. The process is quite straight-forward and described in Chapter 19.

Mounting the ODU

The ODU can be mounted on a pole or a w all. In both installations, the supplied mounting kit is used to secure the ODU.

A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast.

Note

A RADWIN 2000 link operates in pairs of two ODUs with the same configur must be installed, and the antennas aligned for maximum throughput.

Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal (screw) of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground conductor or to a grounded pole.

Using RADWIN Manager Spectrum View

Prior to running the Installation Wizard (Chapter 5), you may use the RADWIN Manager Spectrum View utility.

The RADWIN Manager Spectrum View utility is an installation prior to full link service activation. The tool provides comprehensive and clear information enabling easier, faster and better quality installations.

To launch Spectrum View, go to the main window menu (Figure 4-11) and click Tools | Spectrum View.

A display similar to the following appears:

Step 3, Channel Settings

RADWIN 2000 systems have a feature called Automatic Channel Selection (ACS). In the event of sync-loss, ACS chooses the first available channel in a list of monitored channels nominated in the Channel settings window of Figure 5-6 below. A channel switch takes place sufficiently fast as to ensure no loss of service.

should be considered:

About Single and Dual Antennas

Each RADWIN 2000 ODU is made of two radio transceivers (radios). The radios make use of algorithms that utilize both MIMO and Diversity resulting in enhanced capacity, r ange and link availability. The number of antennas (i.e. radios) used is determined by user configuration and by automatic system decisions, explained below.

Dual Antennas at Both Sites

When using dual antennas at both sites (single bipolar antenna or two mo-unipolar antennas) you can choose between MIMO Mode and Diversity Mode.

MIMO Mode

With MIMO the system doubles the link capacity. At the same time, it keeps the same rate an

d modulation per radio as was used with single antenna, thus increasing capacity, range

and availability.

RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.6.50 5-10

Installation Chapter 5

For example with a dual antenna RADWIN 2000 can transmit at modulation of 64QAM and FEC of 5/6 and get an air rate of 130 Mbps, compared to 65 Mbps with single antenna.

To work in this mode, each antenna port must b both receivers should be balanced and a minimal separation between the antennas must be maintained. (For example, by using dual polarization antennas a cross polarization separation is attained).

Upon selecting Antenna Type as Dual, RADWIN doubles the air rates.

RADWIN Manager indicates a case of unbalanced RSS between the two antennas.

Diversity Mode

Diversity Mode uses two antennas to improve the qualit there is not a clear line-of-sight (LOS) between transmitter and receiver. Instead the signal is reflected along multiple paths before if-ally being received.

Each such “bounce” can introduce phase shifts, time d tions that can destructively interfere with one another at the aperture of the receiving antenna.

This is because multiple antennas afford a receiv Each antenna will be exposed to a different interference envy-remnant. Thus, if one antenna is undergoing a deep fade, it is likely that another has a sufficient signal. Collectively such a system can provide a or-bust link.

Antenna diversity is especially effective at mitigating these multi-path situations.

Use Diversity instead of MIMO in the following situations:

Single Antennas at Both Sites

By selecting a single antenna at both sites the ODUs operate with a single radio that is connected to the ANT 1 connector. The second radio is automatically shut down.
