Motorola Enterprise Wireless LAN Antennas
Using this guide This guide has been designed to help you choose the right Motorola antenna and accessories for your wireless LAN deployment. It explains key factors to consider when choosing an antenna, and provides tables illustrating various key characteristics of each antenna. A compatibility chart is also provided to show which Motorola products are compatible with each other and what accessories may be required to complete the system.
Antenna selection While several antennas may work in a given environment, some will provide better coverage than others. Using the right antenna in the right location will maximize both the performance and coverage of your network. Understanding the key characteristics that describe how an antenna sends and receives radio frequency signals is critical to finding the ideal antenna. Motorola Enterprise Wireless LAN products operate in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ISM bands allocated for unlicensed use.
Polarization: the orientation of the electrical field which the antenna is optimized to receive. If the transmitting and receiving antennas are both linear polarized, then turning one 90° so that they are cross polarized will reduce the range significantly. VSWR: Voltage Standing Wave Ratio. The ratio of maximum voltage to minimum voltage along the line. Expresses the degree of match between the transmission line and the terminating element (antenna). When VSWR is 1:1 the match is perfect, a VSWR of 1.
Product compatibility chart To find the right antenna and accessories for your deployment: 2. Follow the row of the chosen antenna across the table to the columns for the lightning arrestors and cables you wrote down to confirm that they are also compatible with the antenna you’ve chosen and to determine if an adaptor is required to connect two selected parts. 1.
