Recommended Outside Antenna
Any Outside Antenna may be used. The recommended antenna for installing a
Wilson Signal Booster is the antenna the Signal Booster came with. Directional
antennas will help the installer determine the location of a signal-of-interest or
interferer. For general frequency mapping, the 304411 is recommended because
it is both directional and has wide bandwidth. This will allow the installer to use
the RF Signal Detector without ever having to change antennas.
Purpose
The purpose of the RF Signal Detector is to assist the installation of a Wilson
Electronics Signal Booster, specically for:
Mapping the frequency environment•
Pointing directional antennas•
Maximizing Wilson Electronics Signal Booster• coverage

the screen. Units are MHz.
The2. Pass Bandwidth is the
bottom left number on the
screen. Units are MHz.
The3. Detected Cellular Downlink
Signal Level is the bottom right
number on the screen. Units are
dBm.
The4. BAND Select button
will select between downlink
bands.
Note: For a list of band options see tables on page 4.
The5. BW (bandwidth) Select button toggles between 1.5 MHz and 10
MHz pass bandwidth.
Note: For lter characteristics see tables on page 4.
The6. CH (Channel) Select button will step to the next channel. Steps
are in 1.5 MHz increments for 1.5 MHz BW. Steps are typically 5 MHz
increments for 10 MHz BW.
Note: For a list of channel options see tables on page 4.
Any button may be held down to step more quickly.7.

Look for “Specialized search” on right side of screen.2.
Click on “Geographic.”3.
Enter your region.4.
Enter a specic frequency range to narrow the search results. As 5. the signal
detector indicates the downlink frequency, below are the recommended
frequency ranges to search for each band:
- 700 MHz - Search “728-757”
- 850 MHz - Search “869-894”
- 1900 MHz - Search “1930-1990”
- AWS - Search “2110-2155”
