6.1.4 Antenna and Feedline Selection

Antennas

The equipment can be used with a number of antennas. The antenna type
used depends on the physical size and layout of a system. Contact your
GE MDS representative for specific recommendations on antenna types
and hardware sources.
In general, an omnidirectional antenna
at the AP station site. This provides equal coverage to all of the remote
sites.
NOTE: Antenna polarization is important. The wrong polarization
causes a signal reduction of 20 dB or more. Most systems
using a gain-type omnidirectional antenna at the AP station
employ vertical polarization (elements oriented perpendicular
to the horizon) of the signal; therefore, the Remote antenna(s)
must also be vertically polarized.
Horizontally polarized omnidirectional antennas are also
available. Contact your GE MDS representative for details.
