Recommended Antennas 6 7.1 Introduction to Antennas Antenna is an electrical device which distributes signals transmitted by the wireless radios, through the medium of air in a particular pattern. Antennas focus the signals on a given frequency, by reducing the signal flow in other directions. Directional antennas (sector, parabolic, flat), therefore provide maximum range. But due to their narrow beamwidth, these antennas require precise antenna alignment to achieve optimal performance.

Antenna Installation 8 8.1 Safety Precautions Listed below are the safety precautions to be satisfied, prior to the outdoor antennas installation: • Outdoor antennas and antenna cables (good conductors of electricity) should be installed properly to avoid the transients or electrostatic discharges (that occur due to lightning during thunderstorm) from damaging your equipment and causing personal injury or death to the persons touching the exposed metal connectors of the equipment.
Antenna Installation 7. Ensure that the cabling of ethernet / power cables and the surge arrestor is proper. See Connecting the Surge Arrestor and Ethernet / Power cables. 8. Ensure that the antennas are grounded properly to the grounding system, satisfying the local electrical code requirements. See Grounding the Antennas. 9. Once the antenna is properly positioned, grounded and the outdoor cable setup is verified, secure all the cables and use weatherproofing tape to seal all the outdoor connectors.
Antenna Installation 8.2.2 Determining the Optimal Antenna Placement To achieve the maximum throughput, the outdoor antenna must have clear line-of-sight with the antenna at the other end.
Antenna Installation 8.2.3 Mounting the Antenna Mounting an antenna directly to the wall does not let you align the antenna properly with the corresponding antenna at the opposite end of your wireless link. Poor antenna alignment typically results in poor performance and therefore, we recommend mounting the antennas to a mast. The two methods followed frequently to erect an antenna mast are: • Tripod Mount: The tripod mount is used primarily on peak and flat roofs.
Antenna Installation The antenna/devices located at different altitudes should be tilted at the correct angle to efficiently transmit/receive the signals between the devices in the wireless network. The following figure shows the antenna tilt and its importance when the successive devices are located at different elevations above the ground.
Antenna Installation – The antenna gain for 0 = 00 is shown in the following figure: Figure 8-4 Antenna gain at (30- 0) = 300 – Transmit Power = EIRP - G (30- 0) - MIMO Gain = 21 - 5 = 16 dBm • Case 2: 0 = 150 (antenna tilted upward) – The antenna gain for 0 = 150 is shown in the following figure: Figure 8-5 Antenna gain at (30- 0) = 150 ORiNOCO ® AP-9200R - Hardware Installation Guide 45
Antenna Installation – Transmit Power = EIRP - G (30- 0) - MIMO Gain = 21 - 10 = 11 dBm • 0 Case 3: 0 = -15 (antenna tilted downward) – The antenna gain for 0 = -150 is shown in the following figure: Figure 8-6 Antenna gain at (30- 0) = 450 – Transmit Power = EIRP - G (30- 0) - MIMO Gain = 21 - 0 = 21 dBm : • -10 degree indicates that the antenna is tilted downwards. • 10 degrees indicates that the antenna is titled upwards.
Antenna Installation 8.2.4 Connecting the Cables Once the outdoor antennas are properly mounted, the cable setup essential to complete the outdoor antenna installation is depicted in the following figure: Figure 8-7 Cable Setup The entire outdoor cabling setup requires the following cabling to be done: 1. Connecting the Antenna Cable 2. Connecting the Surge Arrestor and Ethernet / Power cables 3. Grounding the System 8.2.4.
Antenna Installation 5. If required, adjust the direction of the antenna. 6. Tighten the nuts of the antenna to lock the antenna into its position. : Avoid over-tightening of the connector, nuts and screws that are used to mount the antenna, to protect the antenna and device from getting damaged. 7. Secure the cable along its complete length with a cable or electrical tape to relieve strain on the antenna connector.
Antenna Installation approved lightening surge protector near the device is recommended. To buy an additional Surge Protector (Part Number: 235-00001), place an order separately with your distributor. : The surge arrestor and the antenna mast must be connected to the same grounding system, by using the shortest cable possible, as prescribed by local electrical codes. 8.2.4.3 Grounding the System Direct grounding of the antenna mast, device, and surge arrestor is extremely important.
Antenna Installation Step 1: Wrap vinyl tape in a half-lapped fashion, from the weatherproof connector end and continue wrapping down 3 inches onto the CAT5e cable. a. Weatherproofing at the device end: (a) (b) b. Weatherproofing at the antenna end: (a) (c) (b) Step 2: Wrap a second layer of vinyl tape in the reverse direction over the first layer of tape. a. Weatherproofing at the device end: (a) b.
Antenna Installation Step 3: Now, wrap a third layer of vinyl tape over the other two layers but with the adhesive side up as this provides a sticky surface for the next layer. a. Weatherproofing antenna connectors on the device: (a) (b) b. Weatherproofing antenna cable: (a) (b) Step 4: Next, wrap a layer of the butyl mastic tape over the adhesive side of the tape, covering all of the tape and connector. a. Weatherproofing antenna connectors on the device: (b) (a) b.
Antenna Installation a. Weatherproofing antenna connectors on the device: (a) (b) b. Weatherproofing antenna cable: (a) (b) Step 6: Place a small zip tie over the last wrap of tape to prevent it from unwrapping over time. The figure below depicts the complete weatherproofing of the RF connection.
Measuring Signal Performance 9 9.1 Introduction The performance of a microwave link (wireless link established between two outdoor antennas) is closely related to the following factors: • Range • Fresnel Zone • Clearance Factor Calculating the above factors help you align the antennas properly and achieve a better throughput. 9.
Measuring Signal Performance • Marginal communications quality in late fall (with no leaves on the trees along the signal path) might fail in the summer (with leaves on the trees along the signal path). • In winter, a wireless link can fail when the antenna is exposed to ice buildup or when the antenna elements are covered with snow. Radio paths over water or extremely flat ground require optimization of antenna height at one end. This is due to in-phase or out-of-phase reflections.
Measuring Signal Performance The path difference is the required clearance of the antenna beam from obstacles in its path to avoid loss of radio signal. Signals reflected from any even-numbered Fresnel Zone result in signal cancellation while the odd-numbered Fresnel Zones add to the direct path signal. 9.
Measuring Signal Performance Figure 9-3 Clearance Factor If the clearance for your antenna installation is equal to or better than the minimum clearance required, then the Clearance Factor for your installation is 100%. If your actual clearance is less than the minimum clearance, then refer the above figure to determine the actual range that applies to the current requirement. : Practically, it is impossible to achieve the maximum range due to the interference from the other radio products.
Measuring Signal Performance where: • Pout is the output power (in dBm) of the transmitter. • L1 is the total loss of all transmission elements between the antenna and the RF device on one side of the link (in dB). • G1 is the gain of the antenna on one side of the link (in dB). • G2 is the gain of the antenna on the opposite side of the link (in dB). • L2 is the total loss of all transmission elements between the antenna and the RF device on the opposite side of the link (in dB).
Measuring Signal Performance Procedure 1. Start with the transmit power and the number of the channel to be used in dBm. Subtract the total loss of all transmission elements between the antenna and the radio on one side of the link (dB). 2. Add the gain of the antenna you will be using. The total is the EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power). 3. Determine the path loss of the microwave link by using the mathematical formula of Lp, illustrated in Calculating Link Budget. 4.

Lightning Protection A Lightning protection is used to maximize the reliability of the communications equipment by safely re-directing current from a lightning strike or a power surge traveling along the STP Cat5e Ethernet cabling to the ground using the shortest path possible. Designing a proper grounding system prior to installing any communications equipment is critical to minimize the possibility of equipment damage, void warranties, and cause serious injury.
