Antenna choices
Antenna selection criteria
The main selection criterion is the required antenna gain. The secondary criterion is
the ease of mounting and alignment. For example, the Radio Waves Parabolic dishes
are supplied with a mount that allows adjustment for alignment independent of the
actual antenna mounting. This type of antenna is much easier to align than those that
have to be rotated around the mounting pole for alignment.
Non-FCC regions
In non-FCC regions, antenna choice is not restricted, but any region specific EIRP limit
must be obeyed by reducing the maximum Transmit power, see Licenses and region
co
des on page 2-3.
FCC regions
In FCC regions, antenna choice is restricted as described in PTP 54600 FCC antenna
restrictions on page 4-64 an
d PTP 58600 FCC antenna restrictions on page 4-85.
The maximum permitted antenna gain depends upon product variant and channel
bandwidth, as specified in PTP 49600 radio system specifications on
page 4-47 and
Regulatory issues with connectorized units on
page 8-10.
