Antennas
The equipment can be used with a number of antennas. The antenna type
used depends on the physical size and layout of a system. Contact your
GE MDS representative for specific recommendations on antenna types
and hardware sources.
In general, an omnidirectional antenna (Figure 6-5) is used at the AP sta-
tion site. This provides equal coverage to all of the remote sites.
NOTE: Antenna polarization is important. The wrong polarization
causes a signal reduction of 20 dB or more. Most systems
using a gain-type omnidirectional antenna at the AP station
employ vertical polarization (elements oriented perpendicular
to the horizon) of the signal; therefore, the Remote antenna(s)
must also be vertically polarized.
Horizontally polarized omnidirectional antennas are also
available. Contact your GE MDS representative for details.
