    1.1 AISU Introduction The AISU measures antenna engineering parameters, including the azimuths, mechanical tilts, longitude, latitude, and altitude. The AISU is installed at the top of an antenna to perform GPS-based direction measurement. The AISU, base station, and network management system (NMS) are used together to implement the Self-Aware Antenna(SAA) solution, in which the antenna engineering parameters can be remotely queried on the NMS in real time.

     If obstructions exist, block the north part of the AISU if it is installed on the northern hemisphere and block the south part of the AISU if it is installed on the southern hemisphere to ensure less impact on the AISU.

  • Page 11: Recommended Scenario

    The AISU should not be directly radiated by large power because the GPS receiver sensitivity is high. However, if the radiation cannot be avoided, install the AISU in compliance with the following principles to ensure the AISU measurement precision, as shown in Figure 2-3.

  • Page 12: Installation With The Multipath Effect Caused By Reflection

    GPS has high reception sensitivity. It is sensitive to multipath signals. Severe multipath effects have an impact on direction determination. In principles, the AISU cannot be used in reflection scenarios. If the AISU needs to be used in reflection scenarios, install it in the way shown in Figure 2-4.
