ILX34-AENWG ♦ Point I/O Platform Wireless POINT I/O Adapter 6.5 Reference User Manual Antennas When you are ready to connect antennas to the radio, see Connecting antennas. You must also consider three important electrical characteristics when selecting antennas:     Antenna pattern (page 187) Antenna gain (page 188) Antenna polarity (page 188) Antenna location, spacing, and mounting (page 192) 6.5.
PAGE 188
Reference User Manual ILX34-AENWG ♦ Point I/O Platform Wireless POINT I/O Adapter 6.5.2 Antenna Gain Antenna gain is a measure of how strongly an antenna radiates in its direction of maximum radiation intensity compared to how strong the radiation would be if the same power were applied to an antenna that radiated all of its power equally in all directions. Using the antenna pattern, the gain is the distance to the furthest point on the pattern from the origin.
PAGE 189
ILX34-AENWG ♦ Point I/O Platform Wireless POINT I/O Adapter Reference User Manual 6.5.5 Collinear array antennas A collinear array antenna is typically composed of several linear antennas stacked on top of each other. The more stacked elements it has, the longer it is, and the more gain it has. It is fed in on one end. The antenna pattern is torroidal. Its azimuthal beamwidth is 360° (omnidirectional).
PAGE 190
Reference User Manual ILX34-AENWG ♦ Point I/O Platform Wireless POINT I/O Adapter 6.5.7 Parabolic reflector antennas A parabolic reflector antenna consists of a parabolic shaped dish and a feed antenna located in front of the dish. Power is radiated from the feed antenna toward the reflector. Due to the parabolic shape, the reflector concentrates the radiation into a narrow pattern, resulting in a high‐ gain beam. The antenna pattern is a beam pointed away from the concave side of the dish.

Reference User Manual ILX34-AENWG ♦ Point I/O Platform Wireless POINT I/O Adapter 6.5.9 Antenna location, spacing, and mounting Consider the following points regarding antenna location, spacing, and mounting:           When placing antennas, ensure a clear line of sight between the master radio's antenna and all of the other radio antennas. If the site base contains obstructing terrain or structures, mount the antenna on a tower or rooftop to provide a line‐of‐sight path.
