Page 34: Active Versus Passive Antenna
SL869-V3 Product User Guide An RHCP antenna will have 3 dB gain compared to a linearly polarized antenna (assuming the same antenna gain specified in dBic and dBi respectively). An RHCP antenna is better at rejecting multipath interference than a linearly polarized antenna because the reflected signal changes polarization to LHCP. -
Page 35: System Noise Floor
SL869-V3 Product User Guide An antenna vendor should specify a nominal antenna gain (usually at zenith, or directly overhead) and antenna pattern curves specifying gain as a function of elevation, and gain at a fixed elevation as a function of azimuth. Pay careful attention to the requirement to meet the required design, such as ground plane size and any external matching components. -
