Tsunami MP.11 Recommended Antennas Introduction ABOUT THIS BOOK This manual supplements the Proxim Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide. The Antenna Installation Guide explains how to install and set up an outdoor antenna with the Tsunami MP.11 hardware devices. This guide does not explain how to erect antenna masts, nor how to install a safety grounding system. These prerequisites must be in place before installing the directional antenna.

Tsunami MP.11 Recommended Antennas ANTENNA TYPES Wireless radios generate signals on a given frequency. Antennas distribute that signal through the air in a particular pattern. Antennas take a given power output and make it reach further by reducing directions along which the signal is radiated. Concentrating the signal on your workspace makes better use of your wireless radio’s power output, Stations inside your workspace get stronger coverage and, therefore, higher speed.

Tsunami MP.11 Recommended Antennas Sector Antennas Sector antennas are high-gain directional antennas. These cylinders contain a boom supporting thin vertical rods. The signal propagates off the front of the boom. Note that some signal (back lobes) fall behind the boom. Sector antennas create higher gain by producing narrower beams (20 – 80 H, 14 – 64 V). The wide-angle sector antenna is a good Base Station antenna for hilly terrain. It combines a wide opening angle “sector” with relatively high gain.

Tsunami MP.11 Recommended Antennas Summary Omnis Are better for high-ceiling industrial and retail environments, such as factory floors, warehouses, or “big box” stores in which antennas can be suspended from the ceiling at the center of large open areas. But Omnis are not good in long, narrow workspaces in which antennas cannot be centrally located.
