5.8 GHz FCC antenna restrictions
In FCC regions in the 5.8 GHz band, external antennas from the lists in Table 4-13 can
be used with the Connectorized version of the PTP 250. These are approved by the
FCC for use with the product and are constrained by the following limit for Single/Dual
Polarization Parabolic Dish Antennas: up to 37.6 dBi per polarization or antenna.
In FCC regions when using external antennas, cable loss between the connectorized
ODU and the antenna ports must not be less than 1.2 dB.
CAUTION
Antennas not included in this table, or those having a gain greater than the
specified maximum, are strictly prohibited for use with the PTP 250 in the
5.8 GHz band. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
