Can an antenna be used to connect to another antenna?

Using Proman I want to create a site with an antenna that is connected to the network as in a  default site/antenna. Then, a second antenna/site must be created but this site does not get the data to transmit from the network but instead, it must have a wireless backhaul connection to the first antenna created. How could I go about doing this in Proman if it is possible?

    You may want to look at CoMan. In that tool, data are transmitted wirelessly from one node to the next in a network of antennas.

    I'm looking for a way or workaround to be able to do this using ProMan as this is what I have been using so far. Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into into if there is no way to do it in ProMan

    You can define two Tx antennas in ProMan and assign then the same frequency carrier and signal group ID.

    In this case the two Tx antennas will transmit the same signal and their power contributions will be added at the receiver without interference.

     

    For the repeater you can derive the Tx power from the Rx power map of the feeding Tx antenna at the corresponding location.

    But there is no automatic feature in ProMan to connect one Tx antenna to another Tx antenna using a wireless backhaul link.
