Where should I place the interior antenna of an in-building repeater system?
The interior antenna should be placed so as to provide coverage where it is required in the building. At the same time, the antenna should be placed with enough separation from the exterior antenna to avoid feedback. (feedback between is indicated by the in-building repeater by its LEDs; see the Installation Manual for your model of repeater. The manual is also available for download on this web site in the Technical section) Coverage area can be determined in two ways: a) the entire building interior is the coverage zone or b) with signal level measurements performed in various parts of the building, specific areas become coverage zones. Refer to the In-building System Design section on this web site for assistance with planning coverage, or the Site Configuration Tool to help you develop an in-building system.
