Yagi type or similar – 8 to 14 dBi gain, and features a very sharp beam pointed to
the BTS.
•
Cable and jumper loss is at least 2dB.
•
Example of antenna's typical specifications:
Gain:
VSWR:
Impedance:
Installation requirements:
•
The antenna should point to the direction of the base station for maximum input
power
•
Verify that the antenna is in the base stations line of sight (raise the antenna if
necessary)
•
Install the donor antenna at a higher level (i.e. floor) than the mobile antenna
•
Must be installed at a minimum distance of 1 meter from any personnel within the
