Search Rings Defined- Also referred as zero location with Search Radius
Zero locations are entered into RF Design tool (PLANET/Atoll) and a preliminary RF
design (Antennas, tilts, heights) is established to meet the coverage and capacity
requirements
Candidates SCIPs Identified
Candidate evaluation Using Planning and RF Design tools and Site Visits- RF design
keeps evolving.
Candidate finalized
Site RF Design Parameters Finalized (Antenna, Azimuth, tilts, Cable Type location of
Radios etc)
CDs and Zoning Reviews

Site NTPd Site moves to CX Phase.
Things to look for: RF Site Candidate
Type of Site
A rooftop
A Monopole
A Guyed Mast
A Tower, WT etc
Choose the Most appropriate Type of Antennas (Type BW, Gain, Size
Antenna Type (LTE-MIMO-Ports-Gain, BW, Size- Future carrier or band expansions)
Antenna Azimuths- Keep the pops and high traffic areas, low coverage areas as targets)
Antennas Tilts (Best Chosen by the tools Atoll) reasonable coverage overlap /intended dominant server
Keep future tilts ad design modifications in mind
RF Coaxial cables or Fiber Cables- Study losses for jumpers Link Budget
Length of Coax (7/8 1-5/8) and jumpers- Minimize losses
Location and Type of Radios
Location of BTS Equipment
# of Sectors and # of antennas.
Any special Design Requirements- EIRP
