Chapter 4 Choosing a Mounting Location
4.1 Antenna Polarization
The integrated antenna radiates and receives vertically polarized radio signals. Polarization helps
reduce interference because the antenna tends to reject cross-polarized signals from other
sources.
a. Polarization is the same. (Correct)
Good Good
b. Polarization is different. (No correct)
Bad Bad
25
4.2 Antenna Radiation Angle
The range of Antenna Radiation has angles, not all around.
4.3 Signal Path Clearance (Fresnel Zone)
The Fresnel Zone is the area around the visual line-of-sight that radio waves spread out into
after they leave the antenna. You want a clear line of sight to maintain signal strength,
especially for 2.4 GHz wireless systems.
26
4.4 Multi-Path Fading
Because a 6900 Series typically transmits its strongest signals in a
cone-shaped pattern,
some of the signal
may be reflected from a nearby building, from water under the signal path,
or from other
RF
reflectors.
This reflected
signal can then be received
by the far- end 6900
series and superimposed on the main
signal, usually degrading the signal strength.
4.5 Relationship between data rate and distance
With increasing of distance, data rate (throughput) will decrease.
