Site Survey and Link Test
In order to perform a meaningful site survey, it is necessary to conduct a test that will accurately model the intended use of the system. It is important to perform a site survey using equipment which is similar to that implemented. Items to be surveyed are:
•Transmit power
•Antenna(s) type(s)
•Antenna(s) location(s)
•Packet (fragment) size
•Interference
The site survey should be conducted with all variables set to the operational values. It should also be performed dur- ing the time the RF link will generally be functioning with all other systems and noise sources operational. For effi- ciency, the site survey application should be executed entirely from the mobile station.
