Yagi antenna a directional antenna. Focuses energy to one particular direction. In a point-to- point application, it is ideal to use yagi antennas at both locations for extended range and better signal strength. Yagi antennas generate best results in point-to- multipoint applications when used with ...
Omni antenna omni-directional antennas focus their energy equally in all directions. They typically have lesser range than a yagi antenna of similar gain. Omni antennas are used in point-to-multipoint applications for the central master unit. Omni-directional antenna y azimuth x z y elevation z y x ...
Point-to-point in this configuration, two radios will be talking to one another. Typical examples are serial-to-serial communication or peer-to-peer i/o wire replacement systems. Yagi antennas at both ends increase signal strength, range and reduce interference. Point-to-multipoint in a multipoint s...
Rf range is influenced by several factors. Proper consideration during installation will help enhance the signal strength and range ensuring reliable operation. Tip 1 - clear rf path of obstructions make sure the rf path is clear of obstructions. Antennas should be installed where they can “see” eac...
Tip 2 - pay attention to antenna alignment make sure the antennas are aligned to center of the signal path and angle, and on the same level plane. Yagi yagi omni yagi 1 parallel, 1 perpendicular to the ground antennas not aligned antennas not on the same level plane antennas not on the same level pl...
