Antenna Types
Omni
Omnidirectional antennas
radiate power uniformly
in every direction on the
horizontal plane. Most access
points and client devices have
omnidirectional antennas.
Panel
A at antenna with a radiation
lobe similar to a cone. It is
directional and is normally used
for point-to-point links or at
the end-points of a point-to-
multipoint network.
Sector
A at antenna with a radiation
lobe similar to a cone with
an elliptical footprint. It is
directional and is normally used
in the central site of a point-to-
multipoint network.
Parabolic
A dish-shaped, directional
antenna with a radiation
lobe similar to that of a panel
antenna. It is usually larger than
a panel and has a higher gain.
Parabolic antennas are suitable
for long distance point-to-point
links.
Gain
Gain expresses how much an antenna
enhances its transmitted and received
signals relative to a simple dipole. Gain is
expressed in dB and is logarithmic.
Polarization
Denes the position in space of electrical
and magnetic elds. The best signal
transfer happens when both transmitting
and receiving antennas have the same
polarization. A 90° difference in polarization
between transmitting and receiving
antennas may produce up to -30dB of signal
attenuation.
Loss
Loss is the attenuation, or reduction in
power, of a system, expressed in dB. All
cables and connector devices have a loss
variable and must be considered when
designing a wireless system, especially when
directional antennas are used.

HIGH GAIN
An omnidirectional antenna concentrates
the signal in a 360° belt around it. The
higher the gain, the thinner the belt,
resulting in a better signal far from the
antenna — but a narrower communication
area.
Panel and parabolic antennas have a nearly
circular footprint. Low gain panels can be
used for both short distance point-to-point
and point-to-multipoint links as well as
straight roads coverage. High-gain panel
and parabolic antennas produce such a
small spot that they should be deployed
only in medium- to long-distance point-to-
point links.
A sector antenna footprint is a horizontal
ellipse with a width of 30°, 60°, 90° or
120°. High gain sector antennas have a
vertically thinner footprint while keeping
the same horizontal width, suited for the
central site of a point-to-multipoint link or
coverage of a certain “sector” in mobile
networks.
