Using an antenna splitter allows up to five antennas to be connected to one Base station
antenna port. A single FS II Base station supports up to twenty beltpacks and up to ten
antennas, giving a great deal of flexibility in placing beltpacks where they are needed most,
and for providing wireless reliability. Figure 2-2 illustrates how an FS II system can be set up
to operate in a single studio or in a large-scale permanent broadcast facility.
Note: Each antenna is designed to handle five beltpacks simultaneously in good conditions.
However, if interference or propagation problems occur in an area, to ensure proper operation
and reliability, it may be more practical to install four beltpacks for each antenna.
For zones which are likely to need coverage for five or more beltpacks simultaneously you
must install a second antenna. Similarly, for good coverage for nine or more beltpacks
simultaneously, a third antenna may be required.
