6.1
Antenna Location
The antenna is one of the most important components of a radio receiving system. Proper placement of the
receiver antenna ensures reliable operation under the most severe conditions. A direct “line-of-sight” path
between the transmitter antenna and receiver antenna provides best performance. Refer to
Figure 5.
Figure 5: Transmitter/Receiver communication (example)
In most cases, the antenna may be mounted directly on the receiver enclosure. In determining the mounting
location, the following items should be considered:
The antenna should be mounted vertically.
For optimum performance, the antenna itself should have a minimum of eight inches of clearance in
all directions excluding the wall or plate to which the receiver cabinet is mounted (refer to
Figure 6
). If
the receiver enclosure location is not suitable to provide this clearance and the antenna should be
mounted at a remote location, the Laird Remote Antenna Mounting Kit should be used. Call Laird
customer service for information.
