Site Survey

Introduction

What is Site Survey?

An RF site survey is a MAP to RF contour of RF coverage in a particular facility. With wireless system it is very difficult to predict the propagation of radio waves and detect the presence of interfering signals. Walls, doors, elevator shafts, and other obstacles offer different degree of attenuation. This will cause the RF coverage pattern be irregular and hard to predict.

Site survey can help us overcome these problem and even provide us a map of RF coverage of the facility.

Preparation

Below are the steps to complete a simple site survey with simple tools.

1.First you will need to Obtain a facility diagram, such as a blueprints. This is for you to mark and take record on.

2.Visually inspect the facility, walk through the facility to verify the accuracy of the diagram and mark down any large obstacle you see that may effect the RF signal such as metal shelf, metal desk, etc on the diagram.
