Tsunami MP.11a Antenna Installation Guide

Chapter 2. Determining Range and Clearance

When you read about wireless outdoor products, you often encounter the terms output power of the radio and gain of the antenna equipment as measures for the strength of the transmitted signal.

▪Output power of radio equipment often depends on maximum limits as defined by local radio regulations; consequently, output power is, by definition, not the way to enhance wireless performance.

▪High gain antennas are larger in size than low gain antennas and are characterized by a narrow focus of the antenna beam. These two characteristics make it more difficult to aim the antennas and adjust antenna alignment to optimize the performance of the wireless point-to-point link.

The Tsunami outdoor solution is based upon the following principles:

▪An output power and antenna gain that comply with the maximum limits as defined by local governing bodies concerning radio transmissions.

▪Enhanced radio sensitivity for optimal receive quality of radio signals transmitted by remote antennas.

DETERMINING THE OUTDOOR RANGE

The range of your outdoor antenna installation is closely related to a number of different factors. To let you determine the range of the Tsunami MP.11a antenna system in your situation, we have defined the following formula:

Range = Maximum Range x Cable Factor x Clearance Factor

where:

Maximum Range	Identifies the theoretical maximum that could be achieved under optimal
	circumstances using the available Tsunami MP.11a products according to their
	specifications and in compliance with local radio regulations.
Cable Factor	Identifies a correction value (percentage) that compensates for additional cable
	losses related to the type of cables used at both ends of the wireless link. (See
	“Cable Factor” on page 17.)
Clearance Factor	Identifies a correction value (in percentage) that should be used in case the
	signal path of your wireless link does not provide the minimum clearance as
	listed in the Maximum Range table. (See “Clearance Factor” on page 18.)
