Confirmation of line of sight
A clear transmission path must exist between the two link nodes of any microwave radio link. Furthermore, as the radio wave disperses as it moves away from the source, there must exist additional clearance over any obstructions to prevent attenuation of the transmitted signal. This additional clearance, known as the Fresnel zone, differs for the frequency band of the radio path, where higher frequency translates into a smaller clearance requirement see Figure 3
Line of sight between two sites can be confirmed via either map-based studies or direct survey. In either event, the surveyor must allow for future obstructions that may impinge the radio path. These can be due to various causes, such as new buildings, tree growth, cranes, signs, etc
