In the Equipment Properties section, the user defines the number of dishes and RRUs and which pole they will be supported by. Also, the user can define the geometric properties of the dishes and RRUS using the RRU and dish properties tables. Figure 5 demonstrates the Equipment on Offset Poles table with one RRU and one dish supported by offset pole 1. Note that the user can’t mount RRUs or dishes on a poleless mount, so for brackets like the 3115 (antenna offsets) the number of equipment is zero
The calculator assumes that the RRUs will be supported on one of the MAFI RRU-mount families of kits. The offsets used in the calculation are worked out from the dimensions of the various kits and the dimensions entered for the RRUs themselves.
