Antenna Connectors

The PC Card has two female MicroMate antenna connec- tors on one end. All antennas and cables attached to the PC Card must be equipped with male MicroMate connec- tors.

The two antenna connectors allow a Diversity Antenna or two separate antennas to be attached to the Aironet 4000 Series Wireless LAN Adapter. When two antennas are con- nected, the PC Card will automatically select antennas in order to provide the strongest signal for radio operations. This feature improves packet delivery and system through- put by avoiding reception and transmission instances which are hampered by RF multipath signals or blocking struc- tures in the environment.
