14 dBi Directional Antenna
General Description
14 dBi Directional Antenna is a High-Gain ORiNOCO Antenna for the 2.4 GHz
frequency band.
This antenna is typically used in combination with ORiNOCO Outdoor Routers in
Remote slave Mode.
The 14 dBi Directional Antenna is a totally enclosed 16 element Yagi antenna
that has been designed for point-to-point communications.
It has a typical VSWR of 1.5:1 and is less than 2:1 over the entire frequency
band. The gain is 14 dBi and the half-power beamwidth is 30 degrees. This
antenna is normally mounted on a mast and is vertically polarized.
Contents of the Antenna Box
■ One encapsulated antenna
■ Metal Backing Plate for the antenna
■ 2 U-bolts, with 2 bolt heads (for mast mounting)
■ 4 flat-washers, and 4 nuts
(to attach the antenna to the U-bolts or screws)
Mounting the Directional Antenna
You can mount the Lucent Technologies 14 dBi Directional Antenna to a mast or
a flat vertical surface, such as a wall.
In most cases mounting the antenna to a mast will allow for more flexibility in
adjusting the height and direction of the antenna to aim it at the opposite end of
the wireless link.
