2-22 Quick Installation Guide
Antenna Types
The tables on the following pages show the antenna
specifications for the WaveACCESS NET remote
antennas.
These figures reflect a 10 dB fade margin over
ideal free space propagation and assume the use of the
shortest permitted cable (see the minimum cable
segment length in the table on page 2-25) and the use
of a WaveACCESS NET CU132 central unit with an
OM10 omnidirectional antenna.
The available antenna options depend on the your
country's regulations (for example, FCC Part 15, ETSI
ETR-328, and so on). Not all options may be available
in your country.
The minimum segment length listed in the tables on
page 2-25 indicate the minimum certified cable length
per cable type. You should never attempt to use
antenna cables with a loss of less than 1.3 dB.
Parabolic Grid Antenna
This is the highest gain antenna available for the
WaveACCESS NET remote units. It is recommended for
long range situations. Careful aiming of this antenna is
required due to its small coverage angle.
The following table displays Parabolic Grid antenna
specifications when communicating with a
WaveACCESS NET CU132 utilizing a 10 dBi omni
antenna:
