About This Guide
Introduction
This guide provides an RF engineer a catalog of antenna parts and accessories to complete a customized RF
environment. This guide specifically addresses the antennas used for 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g
implementations for
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
It is important to understand that antenna and accessory selection should be qualified by on-site testing with
the actual components used. Signal attenuation is cumulative with each connection and component added
between the antenna and the radio, so careful study should verify the given arrangement delivers the
expected results.
