Tsunami QB-8100/MP-8100 System Recommended Antennas

1
Introduction
This Recommended Antennas guide supplements the Tsunami QB-8100/MP-8100 Antenna Installation Guide.

The Antenna Installation Guide explains how to install and set up an outdoor antenna with the Tsunami QB-8100/MP-8100 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.

See the following sections:

• Who Should Use This Guide• Antenna Types

5

Introduction

1.1 Who Should Use This GuideThe installation of outdoor wireless links requires technical expertise. At the very least, you should be able to:

• Install and configure the network components, such as the radio hardware.

• Understand, or have a working knowledge of, installation procedures for network operating systems using Microsoft Windows.

• Mount the outdoor antenna and surge arrestor. Antenna installation must be provided by professional installers.

NOTE: A basic rule for selecting a combination of cables and antennas is that no combination is allowed unless explicitly approved in the Tsunami QB-8100/MP-8100 Antenna Installation Guide for your QB-8100/MP-8100 model. Therefore, always use Tsunami QB-8100/MP-8100 Recommended Antennas in combination with “Chapter 4. Determining Range and Clearance” of the Antenna Installation Guide to select the correct type of antenna equipment and to inform your antenna installer and LAN administrator about the impact of regulatory constraints on their job or activities.

WARNING: The outdoor antennas to be used with these products are intended for mounting on an antenna tower, on a roof, or on the side of a building. Installation is not to be attempted by someone not trained or experienced in this type of work. The antenna must be installed by a suitably trained professional installation technician or by a qualified antenna installation service. The site prerequisites must be checked by a person familiar with the national electrical code and with other regulations governing this type of installation.

IMPORTANT!

Local radio regulations or legislation may impose restrictions on the use of specific combinations of:

• Low-loss antenna cables and outdoor antennas

• Radio channels selected at the radios that are connected to specific outdoor antennas

At all times, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that an outdoor antenna installation complies with local radio regulations. The customer must verify that:

• The antenna installer is aware of these regulations

• The correct cable type and surge arrestor have been used

Proxim Wireless Corporation and its resellers or distributors are not liable for any damage or violation of government regulations that may arise from failing to comply with these guidelines.

If you are not certain about the regulations that apply in your country, consult your local Proxim Wireless Corporation Sales Office.

Introduction

1.2 Antenna TypesWireless 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. Directing the signal where you want it also means less signal where you don’t want it; stations outside your workspace get little or no coverage.

Directional antennas (omni, sector, parabolic, flat) provide maximum range, but due to their narrow beamwidth, these antennas require precise antenna alignment to achieve optimal performance. The higher the antenna gain, the more precise the alignment should be.

Directional antennas are typically used to connect:

• A Base Station and a Subscriber Station in a point-to-point link

• A Subscriber Station in a point-to-multipoint network


• Flat Panel Directional Antennas• Sector Antennas


Introduction

1.2.1 Flat Panel Directional Antennas

Flat panel directional antennas produce hemispherical coverage, spreading away from the mount point at a width of 30 to 180 degrees typically. Concentrating the signal on this smaller area increases system range.

Figure 1-1 Flat Panel Antenna Coverage

1.2.2 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. The mounting brackets allow tilting of the antenna. This antenna also is used when the amount of traffic in a cell is too high for a single Base Station with an omni-directional antenna. The wide-angle antenna allows dividing the cell into three sectors that each can be serviced by a Base Station.

Figure 1-2 Sector Antenna Coverage

1.2.3 Summary

1.2.3.1 Flat Panel Directional Antenna

A flat panel antenna is frequently used for sectorized base station installations where it is desirable to provide coverage in a limited azimuthal direction. This is useful in providing reduced interference from out of coverage areas and increasing throughput by increased signal strength inside in coverage areas. Since a reduced azimuth area is covered, the radio sees fewer subscribers and can provide increased bandwidth to each.

1.2.3.2 Sector

Sector antennas are better for corridors, hallways, tunnels, long narrow buildings, and point-to-point medium range connections between outdoor bridges (for example, connecting two buildings in an office park or campus). Be wary of back lobes, but the sector’s narrow beam will reduce unwanted peripheral exposure in the focal direction.
