Page 4: About This Document
Preface About This Document Thank you for choosing the Cisco HGA9N High Gain Omni-Directional Antenna for N Type Connectors. The Antenna and the Cisco WAP200E Wireless-G Exterior Access Point together provide 9dBi peak gain and should be used together. This guide will help you set up and place the Antenna and the access point properly so you can achieve optimal range. -
Page 5: Chapter 1: Planning Your Wireless Antenna Coverage
The power of the wireless signal is most strong on the horizontal plane of the Omni-Directional Antenna. The peak gain of this antenna is 9dBi. The diagrams below show the antenna pattern of the 9dBi Omni-Directional Antenna on the horizontal and vertical planes.

λ is the wavelength of the signal. The product of and frequency equals to speed of light (c). is the distance. LinkBudget is the lump sum of additional loss (compared to free space) in the path. Cisco HGA9N Administration Guide... -
Page 10: Distance Calculation Examples
We use 9dBi peak antenna gain and assume 0dBi antenna gain at the client device. Link budget is set to 10dB to include radio wave attenuations from different types of objects in the path (the actual value may vary). Cisco HGA9N Administration Guide... -
