Space Diversity Link Installation Manual

Introduction to SD

Space Diversity uses two MW antennas at each side and is best suited to overcome Reflection of MW waves. Signal is received by both
antennas called Main Antenna and Diversity Antenna and it is IDU to decide which signal to receive. Generally IDU receives best possible signal.
This diversity also helps a lot in areas of high wind because if one antenna gets misaligned network can function without fail from another. Thus
this provides a sort of redundancy to our network

Introduction to XPIC

Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation (XPIC) it allows the assignment of the same frequency to both the vertical and horizontal
polarization on a path where available frequencies are limited then it is possible to assign the same frequency twice on the same path
using both polarizations
