Appendix D Antenna Guidelines
WARNING!
Antennas and associated transmission cable must be
installed by qualified personnel, and external antennas must
be properly grounded. Failure to terminate the antenna port
correctly can permanently damage the EUM. WaveRider
assumes no liability for failure to adhere to this
recommendation or to recognized general safety precautions.
The CCU and EUM have been certified for use with Omni, Disc, Patch, Yagi, and Dipole
Reflector antenna types. Ta ble 48 includes examples of each of the recommended antenna
types, as well as their associated maximum antenna system gain.
Table 48 CCU, EUM Supported Antennas
Antenna system gain is the net gain of the system. In other words, it is the antenna gain minus
the insertion loss due to cabling, connectors, filters, surge protectors, and other hardware
components. During installation, you must verify that the antenna system does not exceed the
maximum allowable antenna system gain for that specific antenna type.
Antenna Type

Disc 3.0dBi
Patch 8.5dBi
Yagi 9.1dBi
