Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide Allied Telesyn, Inc. personnel a tool which will enable them to better understand how the various Allied Telesyn antennas, cable assemblies, and accessories blend together. Regulatory Concerns Note: The information below will help you to understand some of the regulatory issues surrounding the use of antenna, antenna circuits, and radios.
Basic Antenna Concepts Antennas and Power Antennas do not increase nor decrease the power applied to them. They can only transmit or receive the amount of power that is applied to them. It is possible to have some power loss before or after the signal leaves the antenna. An example of this is “line loss: which is a decrease in power due to imperfect connections and imperfect conductivity to cabling materials. It is, however, possible to increase the power output in a certain direction.
Radiation Patters of Various Antennas Omnidirectional: Circular patter in open spaces Range is slightly effected by antenna gain but the radiation pattern will remain relatively circular. Flat Panel: Modest directional coverage with a slight backlobe The main lobe of the radiation pattern can be from almost circular to fairly oblong in shape. Good for slightly directional coverage such as down corridor or away from walls.
