• Licensed Microwave systems require a clear line-of-site between locations.
• This implies that there can be no obstacles or obstructions in the path of the microwave signal.
• To achieve this microwave antennas are located as high as possible, generally on roofs of buildings, radio towers, or other tall structures.
• In the event that a clear line-of-site cannot be established, systems are sometimes repeated over objects (i.e. other buildings) or reflected around an object using specific microwave passive repeaters.
• In most cases it is necessary to perform a site survey in order to assure a clear line-of-site.
• Microwave survey engineers use their long range optical devices to check and record the route and compare the actual route information with planned information to find the best location.
• If they cannot see the other end they may use light flashing or sun light mirror to make sure and record that a clear of line of sight exists.
