The pictures below show how your antenna(s) should be secured to your mount. It’s helpful to
have your antenna(s) attached to your mount for the next steps in section 3, so take some time
to get the antenna(s) set up before moving on.
For the best results and to ensure their drainage holes work properly,
mount the antennas in
the orientation shown above
. For the Log Periodic Antennas in particular,
ensure their arrows
are pointed upwards
. You can find more detailed instructions on how to attach your antenna(s)
to your J-Mount at

Cross-Polarizing the Log Periodic Antennas (if purchased)
If you have four Log Periodic Antennas
, angle each pair of antennas 45 degrees in opposite
directions to achieve “cross-polarization”, as shown above. Cross-polarizing each pair of
antennas and aiming all four of them in the same direction is
crucial for successful 4x4 MIMO
connections
.
When mounting the antennas,
spread the pair of antennas about 3-4 ft apart or as far apart as
your cables allow
. Treat all four antennas as a single antenna moving forward.
