Warning:
In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/or
multiple connections), you must follow the maximum dBi gain guidelines specified by the radio
communications regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or Industry Canada
or
your country’s regulatory body (if used outside the U.S.A.). Also see

Antenna Separation
Inadequate antenna separation between the primary and secondary antennas creates
unwanted interference that can cause reduction in:
•
Antenna efficiency
•
Transmit power
•
Receiver sensitivity
•
Data throughput
•
Radio front-end life span
Antenna separation recommendations:
•
The antennas should be separated so that there is at least 10 dB isolation over the
entire operating frequency range.
•
The separation should be at least 1/4 wavelength (
), but preferably
1/2 wavelength (
) or greater of the lowest operating frequency. See
for
specific recommendations, based on your network type and frequency.
Note: The values in the following table are approximate antenna separation values for monopole or
dipole type antennas.
