High Performance Antenna: 
CNANT 

Description 

Functional Description 

The CNANT is a high performance indoor ground plane (base) antenna designed to 
surpass the performance of the factory-supplied antenna provided with Crestron

 

receivers such as the CNRFGWA and ST-CP. There are distinct advantages to the 
CNANT. Its omni-directional radiation pattern and remote installation permits more 
gain and extends its communication range.  

Factory supplied antennas mount directly on the receiver and typically, most 
receivers are mounted near the control system; usually in a metal rack within a 
closet. The metallic shield of the rack and closet may interfere with data 
transmission. The remote capability of the CNANT permits it to be mounted 
anywhere indoor within 15 feet (or up to 50 feet with longer cable, not supplied) of 
the receiver, thereby overcoming possible radio frequency blockage.  

Physical Description 

The CNANT is composed of multiple parts, which require assembly. The antenna 
holder assembly contains two female BNC connectors, which attach to the supplied 
antenna (active conductor) and 15 foot BNC cable. The assembly has four drilled 
holes for the placement of four aluminum radiator rods, which aid in grounding the 
antenna. The assembly is secured with two SEMS screws to the arm bracket, which 
in turn is secured with two SEMS screws to the base bracket. These fours SEMS 
screws permit the antenna to move freely 255

°

 about the bracket arm and 180

°

 about 

the base bracket. The base bracket has two feet with a total of four drilled holes for 
mounting screws (not supplied). A completely assembled CNANT is shown on the 
next page. Notice the range of motion.
