antenna alignment
The RF-7800W-AA001 is a Closed Loop Antenna Alignment System
(CLAAS) designed specifically to work with the RF-7800W-OU440
Broadband Ethernet Radio (BER). The CLAAS gets immediate signal
strength feedback from the radio to aim the attached antenna. The
CLAAS can be used in a radio point-to-point or point-to-multipoint mode.
The RF-7800W-AA001 can scan +/- 180 degrees in azimuth and +/- 20
degrees in elevation. When limited to scanning +/- 90 degrees azimuth, the
CLAAS can complete antenna aiming in less than one minute. Control for
the CLAAS can be from anywhere on its attached network via web-based
interface.
The CLAAS can be used with any of five different RF-7800W series
antennas to meet all line-of-sight distance requirements. The unit is rugged
yet lightweight and can be used with fixed or portable masts. The system
can be installed without tools.
The CLAAS consists of a Servo Unit and Power Control Unit. The Power
Control Unit can be operated from an AC or DC power source, and
powers both the Servo Unit and a Broadband Ethernet Radio. All necessary
connecting cables are provided with the unit.
The RF-7800W-AA001 CLAAS provides quick and automatic antenna
alignment when using the RF-7800W-OU440 Broadband
Ethernet Radio.
