The pattern becomes very narrow when in close proximity, and side-lobes are
present when operating within 16 feet of the device. There is also a small rear-
lobe. The signals that are transmitted and received in this system are very
effectively bounced and utilized via multi-path. A general antenna pattern
estimate drawing is shown below, but due to very positive influence of multi-
path signals, this drawing does fully represent the operation once in a physical
space.

Note:
Although a single GTX32 transceiver may pick up all 24 channels of
operation, Alteros recommends that the system be set up with a coverage area
that will provide for at least three GTX32 transceivers in link with each GTX24
transmitter at all times from any location/orientation. Additional covering
GTX32 units will then provide receiver redundancy and additional system
diversity security.
Connection of the GTX32 transceiver to the system is uncomplicated. Simply
attach one end of a shielded CAT-5 cable to the RJ45 jack on the back of the
GTX32 and the other end to the RJ45 input jack on the rear of the GTX3224
Main Control Unit. The CAT-5 cable can be up to 1,000 feet long with no
performance degradation.
