Indoor Antennas: Separation
08
Antenna separation is critical to installing your indoor antennas.
If you don’t have enough separation, the Cel-Fi GO G41 will throttle its gain (amplification)
to avoid “oscillation.” Oscillation is a type of feedback that occurs if the gain of the system is
higher than the “RF separation” between the indoor and outdoor antennas.
You can improve your separation by moving your indoor antennas. Keep your outdoor
antenna in the location with the best signal.
If you have more than one indoor antenna, the
total separation is determined by whichever antenna is closest the outdoor antenna.
How to Tell If You Have Enough Separation
The Wave app shows your status on the Home tab and a
gauge on the Activity tab for antenna separation.
Ideally, you'll want "Excellent" separation with a fully green
gauge for each “Boosting” band. In small buildings this
might not be possible - just do the best you can.
If you need to improve your antenna seperation, refer to
section 12 for more information.
Example of Poor Separation
Not enough vertical and/or horizontal
separation between outdoor and indoor
antenna.
Not enough building materials between
indoor and outdoor antenna.
Example of Good Separation
Plenty of vertical and/or horizontal
separation.
Outdoor antenna pointing away from
indoor antenna.
Multiple layers of building materials
between antennas.
