ORiNOCO Series System Recommended Antennas71IntroductionThis Recommended Antennas guide supplements the Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide. The Antenna Installation Guide explains how to install and set up an outdoor antenna with the Tsunami MP.11 hardware devices.This guide does not explain how to erect antenna masts, nor how to install a safety grounding system. These prerequisites must be in place before installing the directional antenna.See the following sections:•Who Should Use This Guide•Antenna TypesWho Should Use This GuideThe installation of outdoor wireless links requires technical expertise. At the very least, you should be able to:• Install and configure the network components, such as the radio hardware.• Understand, or have a working knowledge of, installation procedures for network operating systems using Microsoft Windows.• Mount the outdoor antenna and surge arrestor. Antenna installation must be provided by professional installers.NOTE: A basic rule for selecting a combination of cables and antennas is that no combination is allowed unless explicitly approved in the Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide for your MP.11 model. Therefore, always use Tsunami MP.11 Recommended Antennas in combination with “Chapter 4. Determining Range and Clearance” of the Antenna Installation Guide to select the correct type of antenna equipment and to inform your antenna installer and LAN administrator about the impact of regulatory constraints on their job or activities.WARNING: The outdoor antennas to be used with these products are intended for mounting on an antenna tower, on a roof, or on the side of a building. Installation is not to be attempted by someone not trained or experienced in this type of work. The antenna must be installed by a suitably trained professional installation technician or by a qualified antenna installation service. The site prerequisites must be checked by a person familiar with the national electrical code and with other regulations governing this type of installation.

Introduction ORiNOCO Series System Recommended AntennasWho Should Use This Guide8IMPORTANT!Local radio regulations or legislation may impose restrictions on the use of specific combinations of:• Low-loss antenna cables and outdoor antennas• Radio channels selected at the radios that are connected to specific outdoor antennasAt all times, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that an outdoor antenna installation complies with local radio regulations. The customer must verify that:• The antenna installer is aware of these regulations• The correct cable type and surge arrestor have been usedProxim Wireless Corporation and its resellers or distributors are not liable for any damage or violation of government regulations that may arise from failing to comply with these guidelines.If you are not certain about the regulations that apply in your country, consult your local Proxim Wireless Corporation Sales Office.

Introduction ORiNOCO Series System Recommended AntennasAntenna Types9Antenna TypesWireless radios generate signals on a given frequency. Antennas distribute that signal through the air in a particular pattern. Antennas take a given power output and make it reach further by reducing directions along which the signal is radiated. Concentrating the signal on your workspace makes better use of your wireless radio’s power output. Stations inside your workspace get stronger coverage and, therefore, higher speed. Directing the signal where you want it also means less signal where you don’t want it; stations outside your workspace get little or no coverage.Directional antennas (omni, sector, parabolic, flat) provide maximum range, but due to their narrow beamwidth, these antennas require precise antenna alignment to achieve optimal performance. The higher the antenna gain, the more precise the alignment should be.Directional antennas are typically used to connect:• A Base Station and a Subscriber Station in a point-to-point link• A Subscriber Station in a point-to-multipoint networkSee the following sections:•Omni-Directional Antennas•Flat Panel Directional Antennas•Sector Antennas•Parabolic Dish AntennasOmni-Directional AntennasOmni antennas radiate the signal 360 degrees horizontally; however, they increase gain by flattening the radiated signal pattern, producing a vertical beam between 80 degrees (modest gain) and 7 degrees (high gain). Gain makes the signal travel further.These antennas have an omni-directional azimuth pattern that makes them easy to install. There is also a gain-to-beamwidth relation for omni-directional antennas: the higher the gain of the omni-antenna, the narrower the vertical beamwidth. In a hilly terrain, an 8 dBi omni-directional antenna can be a better solution than the 10 dBi omni-directional antenna, because the lower gain antenna has a larger vertical beamwidth. The larger vertical beamwidth allows signal coverage to a greater elevation, which in turn allows coverage higher up hillsides. This effect could be useful when the antenna is located at a low elevation such as a valley floor.Figure 1-1 Omni-Directional Antenna Coverage

Introduction ORiNOCO Series System Recommended AntennasAntenna Types10Flat Panel Directional AntennasFlat panel directional antennas produce hemispherical coverage, spreading away from the mount point at a width of 30 to 180 degrees typically. Concentrating the signal on this smaller area increases system range.Figure 1-2 Flat Panel Antenna CoverageSector AntennasSector antennas are high-gain directional antennas. These cylinders contain a boom supporting thin vertical rods. The signal propagates off the front of the boom. Note that some signal (back lobes) fall behind the boom. Sector antennas create higher gain by producing narrower beams (20 – 80 H, 14 – 64 V). The wide-angle sector antenna is a good Base Station antenna for hilly terrain. It combines a wide opening angle “sector” with relatively high gain. The mounting brackets allow tilting of the antenna. This antenna also is used when the amount of traffic in a cell is too high for a single Base Station with an omni-directional antenna. The wide-angle antenna allows dividing the cell into three sectors that each can be serviced by a Base Station.Figure 1-3 Sector Antenna CoverageHorizontal and Vertical

Introduction ORiNOCO Series System Recommended AntennasAntenna Types11Parabolic Dish AntennasParabolic antennas are concave panels or bowls that produce an extremely narrow beam (4 – 25 degrees horizontal / vertical).Figure 1-4 Parabolic Dish Antenna CoverageSummaryOmni Directional AntennaAn omni-directional antenna may be used in an outdoor environment to provide coverage to areas where it is not practical to use an antenna system that takes advantage of sectorized coverage. As an example, if an area needing coverage is a hillside and the base station is located on a valley floor, an omni-directional antenna could be a better choice than a more traditional sector antenna such as a panel antenna. The omni-directional antenna would allow valley floor coverage with coverage extending up a hillside. Such coverage is likely not possible with a panel antenna because of the reduced radiation at high elevation angles from the antenna. This is a result of the shape of the antenna beam radiating from the panel antenna design.Flat Panel Directional AntennaA flat panel antenna is frequently used for sectorized base station installations where it is desirable to provide coverage in a limited azimuthal direction. This is useful in providing reduced interference from out of coverage areas and increasing throughput by increased signal strength inside in coverage areas. Since a reduced azimuth area is covered, the radio sees fewer subscribers and can provide increased bandwidth to each. SectorSector antennas are better for corridors, hallways, tunnels, long narrow buildings, and point-to-point medium range connections between outdoor bridges (for example, connecting two buildings in an office park or campus). Be wary of back lobes, but the sector’s narrow beam will reduce unwanted peripheral exposure in the focal direction.ParabolicParabolic antennas are better for long-range outdoor point-to-point connectors, such as bridges that are miles apart. They require more precise installation to aim signal where you want it, but have the very high gain necessary to reach such distances.NOTE:• All Proxim radios require professional installation.• Antennas with gain less than 8 dBi are not allowed.• Antennas of other makes can be used with the, but must be of the same type, dimensions, and gain as those listed.Horizontal and Vertical
