2.13.4. Diversity and Antenna Positioning
The domo MESH NETNode product uses an advanced diversity technique called maximum
ratio combining to construct a good spectrum from two potentially damaged received
signals. This requires a small separation of the antennas.
Sometimes better results can be achieved by separating the antennas further. The optimum
antenna placement depends on the environment in which the equipment is used and the
signal path, and is often limited by physical factors (accessibility for example) as well as
cable loss.
Note: Any cable run between the Node and the antenna MUST be LOW LOSS cable.
Contact domo for details of suitable cable. Note that a cable suitable for use at 400MHz will
not necessarily also be suitable for use at 5GHz.
