Appendix A: Planning Your Wireless Link

Version 1.0 Rev B - 08/00

Selecting Antennas

There are several factors to consider when selecting the right antenna for a wireless
application. Following are some initial questions you should ask before selecting an
antenna:

What is the operating frequency range?

Will this be a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint application? Ensure that you

consider if the application will change in the future.

What are the coverage requirements?

How far is the remote site(s)?

What is the gain requirement?

What is the elevation of the remote site(s) with respect to the base station and will

additional downtilt/uptilt be necessary at either the base or remote site to compensate?

Will there be any obstructions in the path?

Will systems be co-located? What polarity will be used?

What are the regional environmental conditions? For example, is there windloading,

salt air, excessive moisture, ice buildup?

What is the antenna lifetime expectation?

What are the site and mounting options?

What are the restrictions in the locale regarding the effective radiated power permitted

from the antenna?

Will antenna appearance be a factor?
