Indoor RF survey techniques — walk test, scan

Pre-Deployment Site Survey

A pre-deployment site survey assesses the existing RF environment and building characteristics before designing an indoor wireless system. The survey team walks the building with spectrum analyzers and scanner receivers to measure existing macro cell signal levels, identify coverage gaps, and detect interference sources. Physical inspection documents wall materials, ceiling heights, floor plan layouts, cable pathway availability, and equipment room locations. The survey captures building penetration loss by comparing outdoor and indoor signal measurements at multiple locations. This baseline…
