  • Page 20: Antenna Diversity

    ANTENNAS Antenna Diversity Antenna diversity uses two receive antennas to improve the downlink connection (cell tower to mobile). It has no effect on the uplink (mobile to cell tower). Antenna diversity is useful in environments where the signal arrives at the device after bouncing off or around buildings or other objects.
  • Page 21: Selecting Antennas

    ANTENNAS Selecting Antennas Select an antenna based on your product and application. Typically, both antennas are the same because either can be the main receive antenna. However, if the antenna connectors are too close together, use a similar antenna on a short cable for the second receive only antenna. Antenna Approvals and Safety Considerations Note the following: The carriers conduct antenna diversity tests.
