What does target RSL mean? This means the Received Signal Level, which is the power value to be received from the microwave link.
What is the feeder cable? It is a copper cable used to send and receive the signal and transmit it from the cabinet to the antenna.
What is the IF Cable? It is also a copper cable, but it is used to transmit microwave signals plus the power from the modem cards aligned with the ODU.
What does the term AM mean? AM stands for Adaptive Modulation, which is the change in type of modulation in microwave links depending on the change in the state of the channel BER.
What does the term BER mean? This is the percentage of error that occurs in the data during transmission.
What does the term LOS mean? LOS stands for Line of Sight, or in a more correct sense, that microwave links must be aligned in a straight line along which there is no signal obstruction.
What does the term alignment mean? This means the process of adjusting the microwave links so that the best signal is received.
What does the word XPIC mean? Cancellation of cross-polarization interference this means sending and receiving data on the same frequency, but using two types of polarization, which are vertical and horizontal to double the speed.
What is the Signal Strength (SS)? Signal strength is a measurement that expresses the quality or value of a particular signal at a certain distance from its source.
What do you understand by the term SNR? Signal-to-Noise Ratio, often written S/N or SNR, is a measure of the strength of the desired signal relative to background noise that affects it (undesired signal).
What do you understand by Rx Sensitivity? Measurement of the weakest signal that a wireless receiver (UE) can receive to decode the data and get the content of it. Received sensitivity is affected greatly by several factors such as location, place of the terminal.
What is Diversity? Diversity scheme refers to a method for improving the reliability of a message signal by using two or more communication channels with different characteristics.
What is MIMO? Stand for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, it is a wireless technology that increases the data capacity of a RF radio by using multiple transmitting and receiving antennas.
What is Fading? Fading refers to the attenuation of the transmitted signal power due to various variables during wireless propagation. These variables can be atmospheric conditions such as rainfall and lightning, geographical position, time, radio frequency etc.
What is the Interference? Interference refers to the effect of unwanted signals or noise on the reception of a wanted signal.
