6.3.5 Antenna Separation
6.3.5.5 No Antenna Zone
If a vertical and horizontal cone extends 15 ft in front of a 120° Panel antenna, this lessens the 10 ft
horizontal and vertical requirements for the placement of the antennas (
Figure 6-16). By using these
lesser requirements, the service provider accepts some limitations:
• Signal reflection from the antenna or obstruction
• Shadowing or dead zone in coverage caused by antenna or obstruction
• The amount of reflection and shadowing is affected by the size of the antenna or obstruction
