Voice and data service transmitted to indoor service board unit then the board processing the IF
SIGNAL and transmit that IF SIGNAL to the outdoor RF SIGNAL processing unit(ODU) then the odu
unit transmit the RF SIGNAL to the antenna system. Then the rf signal converted into the
ELECTROMAGNATIC WAVES and transmitted through the environment by the frequency. In the
receive end perform the wise verse operation.
Three layers in the microwave communication network. First layer is the core layer. It is the
backbone of communication radio network controller (RNC) is a governing element in the
UMTS radio access network (UTRAN) and is responsible for controlling the Node Bs that are
connected to it. The RNC carries out radio resource management, some mobility
management functions and encrypts data before it is sent to and from the mobile.
Aggregation layer connect the core and access layer.
Aggregation Layer. The aggregation layer connects the access layer and the core
backbone network of a campus. ... It functions like a cable distribution frame on the campus
network and connects a large number of end users to core devices
Access layer is the data transmission of end user or end devices
The access layer, which is the lowest level of the Cisco three tier network model, ensures
that packets are delivered to end user devices. This layer is sometimes referred to as the
desktop layer, because it focuses on connecting client nodes to the network.
FREQUENCY
30KHZ-300KHZ-3MHZ-30MHZ-300MHZ-3GHZ-30GHZ-300GHZ-3THZ
For microwave communication frequencies used higher than 300mhz
The wave length of the microwave is 1m(300mhz) to 1mm(300ghz).
Frequency spacing is the frequency difference between adjacent allocations in a frequency
plan, that means frequency difference between the two channels.
SHF-SUPER HIGH FREQUENCY IS USED FOR MICROWAVE AND SATELLITE COMM

Chapter 1 Purpose
This document is LOS survey instruction for Microwave network design service product V200R001
Chapter 2 Intended Audiences
This document is intended for the LOS survey engineers in the regional NIS dept microwave network
design branch.
CHAPTER 3
The microwave survey involves the onsite outdoor survey and LOS survey. On site outdooers survey
include collecting the relevant site information ,to conduct the site measurement and to provide survey
report.
The collected information and survey report is used during the microwave routing design, the task
must be performed on site.
The main task of microwave los survey is to obtain terrain information, to measure accurate ground
height features and to provide terrain profile diagram or to ensure LOS. It is used to refer during the
microwave routing design. If the conditions permits los not be performed the certain los survey can be
ignore.
This is use stereo satellite images pairs and los tool to generate measurable real geographical
environment and this tool and survey the height of the each point to obtain terrain
profile data which contains height of the building and vegetation
LOS simulation stereo satellite imagery: There are several resolution with 0.5/1/2.5 meter, the project
team needs to procurement in advance.
LOS simulation tool: HQ LOS center have several suit of them with remote delivery capability.
In this method performing the los survey by carry the class tools and investigate the line of
site between the two sites by seeing with eyes, electrical measuring method and GPS three point
method. this is also 1:50000prwcise topoghraphic analyzing metod. This method used for long
distance microwave links.
3.2 Selection principle of LOS survey method
LOS technical analysis and LOS simulation can be not performing on site LOS survey. So the project
can save the cost and improve efficiency of delivery, if it has the conditions for Free LOS survey in
process, please try not to don’t use onsite LOS survey. LOS technical analysis and LOS simulation
compared to the onsite LOS survey has certain advantages, but these two methods has its unique
application scenarios and conditions, so not all projects can use these two methods, under normal
circumstances the following principles:
If it is not used microwave LOS simulation within the project area, then in turn is preferably selected:
LOS technical analysis → traditional LOS survey.
If it is used microwave LOS simulation within the project area, then in turn is preferably selected: LOS
simulation → LOS technical analysis → traditional LOS survey.
(2) In the case of the flat terrains where the terrain undulation does not exceed 3 m within five
kilometers, such as suburbs, the onsite survey need not be performed if the following LOS conditions
are met:
a. The buildings are lower than the average tree height.
b. The transmission distance does not exceed 5 km.
c. The antenna is mounted within the microwave transmission segment that is 10 meters higher than
the tree height.
(3) In the case of the rough terrains in mountainous areas, use the Pathloss to generate the terrain
profile diagram according to the high-precision electronic map (SRTM or UTM). The LOS is
considered to be available for the microwave hop by default, and the onsite LOS survey need not be
performed if the topographic map shows that the following LOS conditions are met:
a. The clearance of the obstacle has a margin of more than 50 m over the permitted minimum
clearance value (K).
b. The LOS is available even if the height of the antenna is not increased.
(3) In the case of the transoceanic terrains, the onsite LOS survey need not be performed when no island
is an obstacle for the LOS in the profile and the onsite survey pictures show that there is no obstacle
in the near field area
(4)
Hazardous areas
Such as war-torn countries, ethnic conflict in the region, and can’t obtain 1/50000 relief map.
High-cost area
LOS survey have a higher cost
It have a lower cost through Compare the LOS simulation and subcontracting LOS survey
For the guidelines to simulating the LOS survey, see the “Microwave Network Design Service LOS
simulate Guide”. And others 1, 2.
Chapter 6 Traditional LOS survey
6.1 Scenarios Where the Onsite LOS Survey Must Be
Performed
Except in the scenarios where the onsite LOS survey is permitted not to be performed, the onsite LOS
survey must be performed in other scenarios. Especially in the following scenarios, the onsite LOS
survey must be performed hop by hop:
(1) If the customer clearly requires that the onsite LOS survey must be performed hop by hop, the
onsite LOS survey must be performed in any scenario.
(2) When you cann’t simulate the LOS survey according to the images provided by the satellite, in the
case of the backbone microwave links or long distance microwave links, the onsite LOS survey must
be performed hop by hop.
(3) When you cann’t simulate the LOS survey according to the images provided by the satellite, in the case of
the urban areas with dense buildings, such as high urban areas, dense urban areas, and common urban areas,
the onsite LOS survey must be performed.

Chapter 7 Suggestions of Microwave LOS Survey Methods
Remarks: : Recommended method : Special scenes can be used, if cost is allowed. Regardless of which
method you used, google earth high-definition satellite maps, 3D building, streetsview photo are helpful for
judging line-of-sight.
a. Understand the requirements stated in the bidding document. Verify the obtained information with
the user to confirm the specific requirements of the user.
b. Learn the network conditions in the area where you plan to build the microwave office. Obtain the
relevant materials such as drawings.
c. Determine the microwave route and site location and read the profile data of each microwave relay
section, according to the map (1:50000 terrain map, SRTM, and high-precision UTM electronic map)
of the area where you plan to build the microwave office.
e. Obtain the information (longitude, latitude, and elevation) about the key points that may affect the
microwave route.
g. Get familiar with the test environment and obtain the route information.
h. Prepare the onsite LOS survey report and determine the contents that should be contained in the
onsite LOS survey report.
a. GPS satellite receiver: used for onsite positioning and for obtaining the longitude and latitude
coordinates.
b. GPS navigator, laptop where the GPS navigation software are installed, or GPS receiver antenna
c. Portable compass or north-stabilized indicator (if the GPS does not support the following function):
used for locating the obstacles and objects in the communication direction of the office and indicating
the direction
e. Portable infrared range finder: used for distance measurement in a small range.
f. Digital camera: used for taking videos or still photographs for the complex onsite situations.
g. Common maintenance tools: big and small screwdrivers, electrical knives, hammers, cutting pliers,
magnifiers, flashlights, and insulating tapes
h. A laptop with complete configurations: used for collecting and recording data and files.
i. Vehicle: a sport utility vehicle (SUV) used for long-journey survey travel in all kinds of natural
environments.
j. An urban design drawing of the areas where the engineering project covers and a map of 1:50000
or larger scale that is marked with latitude and longitude
k. Auxiliary software: MapInfo software, Google Earth software, and Pathloss software
a. Make the onsite LOS survey plan. Determine the basic information in the plan, including the survey
range, survey target, survey schedule, and involved personnel.
c. Before you make the onsite LOS survey plan, contact the management department or owner of the
microwave site where you plan to conduct the survey in advance, thus to obtain the permission from the
owner and to obtain the key to the equipment room at the microwave office. It is recommended that one
concerned person from the microwave office attend the onsite LOS survey, to ensure that required data can be
obtained in the onsite LOS survey.
c. Before you make the onsite LOS survey plan, contact the management department or owner of the
microwave site where you plan to conduct the survey in advance, thus to obtain the permission from the
owner and to obtain the key to the equipment room at the microwave office. It is recommended that one
concerned person from the microwave office attend the onsite LOS survey, to ensure that required data can be
obtained in the onsite LOS survey.
e. Prepare the instruments and tools, including the GPS, digital camera, laptop with relevant electronic
documentation and application software, tape, and telescope
b. If you cannot determine whether the LOS of the microwave relay section is available, you need to
use maps such as the Google Earth map to help in checking whether the LOS is available, in
performing the electrical measurement, or in selecting the backup route solution. You may fail to
determine whether the LOS of the microwave relay section is available in the following cases:
You cannot see the opposite microwave site due to the long distance between the local and
opposite microwave sites.
The available maps cannot provide the sufficient information.
You cannot determine whether the LOS is available according to the maps.
c. If you determine that the LOS of the microwave relay section is unavailable, re-plan the microwave
route (the microwave network design personnel select site of the positive or negative repeater) or
make the backup route solution.
e. Make an instinct mark at the new microwave site or new antenna tower, and take photos of the
surrounding of the mark with a digital camera to record the terrain features.
f. In the case of a transoceanic (cross a water area) microwave route, measure the water area. Obtain
the location and range of the water area and the information about the surroundings of the water area
that the microwave route crosses (including the tree height, terrain, and obstacles). Then, you can
determine the impacts of the water area on the microwave transmission based on the information, and
thus determine whether the LOS of the microwave route is available.
Information Collection
After the onsite LOS survey on each microwave hop is complete, compare the information collected
during the preparations before the onsite LOS survey and the information obtained during the onsite
LOS survey to check whether the LOS is available. If the LOS of a microwave transmission section is
unavailable, perform a LOS survey of the backup microwave route. Output the onsite LOS survey
report that is compliant with the relevant clauses in the bidding document and the user requirements.
Comparing the LOS Information Obtained Before the Onsite LOS Survey and During the
Onsite LOS Survey to Check Whether the LOS Is Available
1) Compare the terrain profile diagram generated by the electronic map with the terrain profile
diagram generated during the onsite LOS survey to determine whether the LOS is available.
2) Collect the information about the key LOS-affecting points that are detected during the onsite
survey. Import the information into the Pathloss to generate a new terrain profile diagram. Then, you
can determine whether the LOS of the microwave transmission section is available according to the
terrain profile diagram.
II. Outputting the Required Information After the Onsite LOS Survey of a Single Microwave
Hop Is Performed, When All the Conditions for the LOS Availability Are Met
1) In the case of a new microwave site, the following information must be provided:
b. Deployment position diagrams and photos of the local and opposite microwave sites
d. Height information of the vegetation around the site, and zoomed-in photos (if required) of the
surroundings of the site (tower)
The relevant maps involved in the onsite LOS survey are provided as follows (for reference only).

4. Quality Measure Rules
Solution 1,For the individual sites dimension,the system uses increasing score mechanism that meansthe
score would be set Zero with no defect. If there is any defect, the score would be increased. The
a) Violating one Level A standard, it would be increased 8 score. Violating one Level B standard, it wouldbe
increased 4 score. Violating one Level C standard, it would be increased 1 score.b) It should cumulatively
calculate all scores recorded on one site. That means the site score is thesummary of all recorded scores
violating corresponding standards. The summary score would expressquality level of the site.
Solution 2,For multi-site of project team dimension, or Rep offices, or regional dimensions. Use sitedefect
density to be the quality measure KPI, the higher the defect density of the site, indicating that the
a) The KPI Weights of categories A is 8, The KPI weights of categories B is 4, The KPI weights ofcategories
C is 1;b) For some measuring dimension, the site defect density KPI =(number of violates A clauses
*8+number of violates B clauses *4+ number of violates C clauses *1)/(Total inspection A clauses *8+Total
Solution 3,For multi-site of project team dimension, or Rep offices, or regional dimensions. Use TL9000SQ
KPI to measure quality KPI, the higher the SQ, indicating that the worse the quality metric
a) Use solution 1 to measure the quality score, if the quality score higher than X score, then make it
withdefect site.(X is adapted by project as per local situation)b) SQ=number of defect site/Total Sites *100%;
