Range-cont’d
High frequencies are repeated/received
at or below one mile
Lower frequencies can travel up to 100
miles but 25-30 miles is the typical
placement for repeaters
Interference
Adjacent Channel Interference
digital not greatly affected
Overreach
caused by signal feeding past a repeater to
the receiving antenna at the next station in
the route. Eliminated by zigzag path
alignment or alternate frequency use
between adjacent stations

Radio Frequency (RF) Unit
Antenna
Digital Modem
The digital modem modulates the
information signal (intermediate
frequency or IF).
RF Unit
IF is fed to the RF unit which is
mounted as close physically to the
antenna as possible (direct connect is
optimal).
Antenna
The antenna is a passive device that
radiates the modulated signal. It is fed
by direct connect of the RF unit, coaxial
cable, or waveguides at higher
frequencies.

Space Diversity-cont’d
Space Diversity protects against multi-
path fading by automatic switch over to
another antenna place below the
primary antenna. This is done at the
BER failure point or signal strength
attenuation point to the secondary
antenna that is receiving the
transmitted signal at a stronger power
rating.

Transmitter Receiver
Frequency Diversity-cont’d
Frequency Diversity uses separate
frequencies (dual transmit and receive
systems); it monitors primary for fail
over and switches to standby.
Interference usually affects only one
range of frequencies. Not allowed in
non-carrier applications because of
spectrum scarcity.
