2.2.1 Base (Donor) Antenna
The Base (Donor) antenna is usually installed outdoors and is either a directional
antenna such as a Yagi or a Panel antenna.
Donor Antenna specifications:
Yagi type or similar – 10 to 15 dBi gain, very sharp beam pointed to the BTS.
•
Cable and jumper loss is at least 2dB.
•
The required Base signals should be the dominant signals; at least 6 dB higher
•
power than other signals.

2.2.2 Mobile (Service) Antenna
The Mobile antenna is installed indoors.
Note: Before installing the Mobile antenna, see FCC regulations for information
regarding recommended distances between the antennas and populated areas.
The following describes the requirements for an omni-directional mobile used for indoor
applications.
Specifications:
Omni directional antenna with a 0 to 2 dBi typical gain, or wide beam with up to
•
3dBi gain.
