For installation of the Planar Antennas, it is important to keep the same
orientation of polarization for corresponding antennas (see Figure 17).

Install the antenna fixture according to the accompanying operating instructions.
Secure the antenna in the fixture.
Connect the antenna to the antenna cable.
4.2.3 Fresnel zone
The area for radio transmission between two antennas is called Fresnel zone. The main part
of energy is concentrated in the first Fresnel zone.
This area has to be free of any obstacles otherwise the signal is
interrupted or attenuated.
The first Fresnel zone can be calculated as follows:
is the wave length and the distance between the two antennas. For a frequency of 5.8
GHz a wave length of approx. 0.05 m is calculated. The maximum radius between the two
antennas is indicated with . For different distances the maximum radius is given in Figure
18.
