Antenna Polarization
2
The standard mounting method for Lucent outdoor antennas is
designed for vertical polarization.
In some cases you might consider mounting the antenna for
horizontal polarization. For example to minimize the influence of
cross-talk between antennas when:
■
You plan to mount multiple directional antennas to the same
mast.
■
Your wireless link “crosses” another radio beam from a
neighboring installation.
Mounting for horizontal polarization is only supported by the
Lucent 14 dBi Directional Antenna.
■
For vertical polarization, the arrow on the protective casing of
the 14 dBi Directional Antenna must be pointing upwards.
