 Site survey is the base of a mobile communication
network. So it is very important.
 On a mobile communication network as a whole,
whether an appropriate place has been selected for
a NodeB will affect not only its own coverage but
also the locations of all other NodeBs and even the
coverage of the entire network.

Site Survey Coordination Meeting
Find out about the local electromagnetic environment and perform
frequency scanning tests if necessary.
Identify survey and cooperation personnel.
Prepare vehicles and equipment.
Develop a survey plan and identify the survey routes. If the area to
be surveyed is large, divide the personnel into several groups and
conduct surveys at the same time.
Develop initial solutions for power supply and transmission
systems, etc.
Obtain information on frequency bands, maximum transmit powers
as well as azimuth and down tilt of the existing co-site antennas.

Survey & Design of the Antenna & Feeder System
Antenna high
Heights of antennas for different cells of the same NodeB are allowed to
be different from one another.
In a plain urban area, the effective antenna height above the ground
should be within the range of 25m-30m.
For a NodeB in a suburban area, the effective antenna height above the
ground should be within the range of 40m-50m.
The antenna height of an isolated site should not exceed 70m.
If an antenna is too high, the signal level received from under the antenna
maybe very poor (so-called "blind under tower"). This phenomena is more
obvious in the case of an omni antenna.
Too high an antenna is likely to cause such problems as cross coverage
and intra/inter-frequency interference, which will degrade the network
quality.

Survey & Design of the Antenna & Feeder System
Antenna azimuth
Azimuth of antennas have been determined in the
nominal planning phase. During the site survey, we
should make adjustments of these azimuth
according to obstacles around the site to prevent
them from affecting the signal propagation.

Survey & Design of the Antenna & Feeder System
Antenna down tilt
 The antenna tilting control the coverage and reduce intra-
system interference.
 Down tilt angles should be set in consideration of such factors
as the transmit power, antenna height, cell coverage and radio
propagation environment.
 The down tilt angle of an antenna should be determined
based on the actual condition to reduce interference on other
cells, ensure the coverage and avoid unnecessary blind areas.
 If the mechanical down tilt angle is too large, the horizontal
antenna pattern will be distorted.

Omni antenna installation requirements
Survey & Design of the Antenna & Feeder System
The isolation distance between an omni antenna and tower
is required to be more than 2m, and the effective horizontal
diversity distance between omni antennas is required to be
more than 2m (3m is recommended).
Omni antenna should be perpendicular to the horizontal
plane.

If a feeder cable is longer than 50m, a 5/4'' feeder cable sho
uld be used; if it is shorter than 50m, a 7/8″ feeder cable sho
uld be used. 1/2″ feeder cables are used to connect the jum
pers between antennas and feeder cables as well as betwe
en feeder cables and cabinet-top connectors.
Feeder cables must not be over bent, and their external con
ductors should be well grounded 。

To avoid information errors due to failed memories,
identify problems of each candidate site in a timely
manner and develop a solution for them, the survey
personnel should output on site a XXX Project XXX Site
Survey Report for each site. The survey personnel should
then submit these data to the regional office and Network
Planning Dept. as well as to the Operator to be signed
and archived by the latter. All the items must be
completed and the signature field must be filled with the
signatures of survey personnel.
