Antennas
An antenna is the radiating and receiving element from which the radio sig-
nal, in the form of RF power, is radiated to its surroundings and vice versa.
The antenna gain and transmitting power may be limited by country regula-
tions.
The RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 may be operated with an integrated antenna
that is part of the ODU unit, or with external antennas connected to the
ODU via N-type connectors. All cables and connections must be connected
correctly to reduce RF losses. The required antenna impedance is 50Ω.
The Integrated Antenna ODU is provided with 370 mm (1.2ft) flat panel
antenna. The radio and the antenna are housed in a weatherproof case as a
single unit.

External antennas are available for the RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 radios,
varying in operating frequencies, form factor, size and gain, dual or single
polarization.
