However, small obstacles in the Fresnel zone will not necessarily disturb com- munication. In general, obstacles in the way on long wireless paths have a greater influence than those on short ones. 132 / 198 PHOENIX CONTACT 105542_en_05...
In reflective environments the signal can be received via an indirect route. Directional antenna – Large distances – Point-to-point connections – Stationary or linear mobile applications – Multiple point-to-point paths, decoupling due to directivity and different polarization levels (see Figure 8-7) 133 / 198 105542_en_05 PHOENIX CONTACT...
The partner antennas must therefore also be polarized vertically. Vertical polarization means that the elements are aligned vertically to the horizon. Crossing polarization between the stations results in signal loss (see Table 8-4). Figure 8-6 Antenna polarization 134 / 198 PHOENIX CONTACT 105542_en_05...
If you operate several wireless paths directly next to one another in parallel, you can alternately align directional antennas horizontally and vertically. The signals of the various wireless paths will therefore be decoupled.
