Antenna Polarization
The standard mounting method for Lucent Technologies outdoor antennas is
designed for vertical polarization.
In some cases you might consider mounting the antenna for horizontal
polarization. For example to minimize the influence of cross-talk between
antennas when:
■ You plan to mount multiple directional antennas to the same mast.
■ Your wireless link “crosses” another radio beam from a neighboring
installation.
Mounting for horizontal polarization is only supported by the
Lucent Technologies 14 dBi Directional Antenna and 24 dBi Directional
Parabolic Grid Antenna.
NOTE:
For optimal wireless performance you must always verify that the
polarization on both ends of the wireless link is the same for both
antennas.
Consult the corresponding appendices for instructions on alternating the
antenna polarization.
