Figure 2-3 Potential Obstacles for a Directional Antenna

To minimize the influence of obstacles, signal interference or reflections please note the following guidelines:

Mount the antenna as high as possible above ground to allow maximum clearance:

— In open areas, ground is the actual surface of the earth

In dense urban areas ground is defined as the height of the highest obstacle in the signal path between the two antenna sites.

Avoid trees or other foliage in the signal path to prevent interference or signal absorption due to dynamic changes in seasons (leaves/ice).

Install the antenna at least 2 m (6 ft) away from all other antennas.

Other situations where reflections of the radio signal may cause interference are environments where large reflecting surfaces exist in parallel or partly perpendicular to the antenna beam.
