Keep in mind that floor structures in multistory
buildings can cause significant signal loss, which
means that you may need to install interior anten-
nas on more than one floor. Here is an example of
a multistory installation:
Note: You may or may not need anten-
nas on every floor of a multistory build-
ing depending on factors such as
building material, amplifier gain, etc.
3.4 - Antenna Separation
Proper antenna separation is essential in order to
prevent signal oscillation (feedback) that can
interfere with the cellular tower. Separation is
measured in a straight line from the exterior
antenna to the closest interior antenna. The clos-
est allowable distance depends on a number of
factors such as amplifier gain level, building mate-
rial, etc. Recommended separation distances are:
Amplifier gain Min. separation (ad)
40dB 6-7’
45dB 18-25’
50dB 60’
55dB 71’
65dB 88-95’
70dB 117’
