2.5.7
Distance between antennae
The statements made in this chapter basically apply to external and internal omnidirectional
antennae as well. When installing directional antennae on a wall, ensure that these are
mounted horizontally on the same plane (refer to chapter 2.5.5 or Figure 2.10 and Figure
2.11). The distance between directional antennae should not be equal to the wavelength or
a whole multiple of the wavelength (32, 48, 64 cm, …). Ensure that the minimum spacing
between the antennae is 20 cm.
