3 Introduction Antennas are important to WLANs Remember the iphone Antennagate! Transmitter view of antenna Transform AC signals from hardware and transform into radio waves Receiver view of antenna Receive radio waves and transform into AC signals for the hardware Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 3
4 Basic RF Antenna Concepts Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 4
5 Basic RF Antenna Concepts Important to understand antenna terminology RF Lobes shape of the RF patterns Beamwidth horizontal and vertical measurement angles Antenna charts Azimuth [az-uh-muhth] or Horizontal Elevation Gain changing the RF coverage Polarization horizontal or vertical Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 5
6 RF Lobes RF Lobe = shape of the RF energy emitted from the antenna RF Lobes are determined by the physical design of the antenna See Figure 6.1 Type of antenna determines the RF lobe shape Omnidirectional Semidirectional Highly Directional Parabolic Disk Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 6
7 Beamwidth Beamwidth = angle of measurement of the main RF lobe measured at half-power point or -3 db point Measured in degrees both horizontally and vertically Figure 6.2 Azimuth [az-uh-muhth] and Elevation charts for antennas will show beamwidth angles Azimuth horizontal RF coverage (bird's eye view) Elevation vertical RF coverage (side view) Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 7
8 Azimuth and Elevation Charts See Charts on Page 163 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 8
9 Antenna Gain Gain = change in coverage that is a result of the antenna focusing the area of RF propagation Amplification of an RF signal will result in gain Antenna gain measured in dbi dbi = decibels isotropic Change in power as result of increasing the isotropic energy Isotropic energy = energy emitted equally in all directions See Figure 6.3 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 9
10 Passive Gain Passive Gain = a change in coverage without the use of an external power source Antennas focus isotropic energy into a specific radiation pattern AC signal comes from the hardware Antenna provides passive gain, increasing the power output See Figure 6.4 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 10
11 Active Gain Active Gain = increase in signal strength by using external power source, i.e., amplifier Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 11
12 Antenna Polarization Antenna Polarization How the RF wave emitted from the antenna The orientation of the electrical component or electric field of the waveform To maximize signal Transmitting antenna and receiving antenna should be polarized in the same direction Signal decreases when antennas have different polarization Figure 6.5 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 12
13 InSSIDer Use InSSIDer (included on CD that comes with book) for Antenna Polarization Example/Experiment InSSIDer displays the received signal strength from the APs in the receiver area RSSI Received Signal Strength Page 166 in book Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 13
14 WLAN Antenna Types Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 14
15 WLAN Antenna Types The type of antenna that is best for a given site depends on the desired RF coverage Good WLAN design requires good antenna choice If wrong antenna selected Interference Poor signal strength Less than ideal coverage Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 15
16 Three Types of WLAN Antennas Omnidirectional/dipole Semidirectional Highly Directional Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 16
17 Omnidirectional Antennas The most common antenna for indoor SOHO and Enterprise APs Horizontal beamwidth (azimuth) of 360 degrees Vertically polarized perpendicular to earth surface Horizontal radiation pattern is 360 degrees Propagate RF energy in every direction See Figure 6.6 Observe donut shape Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 17
18 2.4 GHz Rubber Duck Antenna See Figure 6.7 Very common omnidirectional antenna Pivot point so the polarization can be adjusted horizontal or vertical, regardless of how mounted Low gain: 2 dbi to 3 dbi Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 18
19 Omnidirectional Antenna Specifications Electrical Specifications Frequency Range: MHz Gain: 2.2 dbi Horizontal Beamwidth: 360 degrees Impedance: 50 ohms Impedance = measurement of AC resistance Maximum Power: 50 W VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) < 2:0 VSWR = disruption common in WLAN caused by impedance mismatch Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 19
20 Additional Rubber Duck Antenna Info Figure 6.8 Physical Specs Figure 6.9 Vertical (elevation) and Horizontal (azimuth) charts Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 20
21 Semidirectional Antennas Semidirectional antennas focus power into a more specific pattern than omnidirectional Horizontal radiation pattern less than 360 degrees Various types Patch, Panel, Sector, Yagi [yah gee] Often used outdoors or indoor rectangular areas Often used for outdoor point-to-point and pointto-multipoint Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 21
22 Patch/Panel Antennas Patch and Panel describe the same type of antenna Horizontal beamwidth as high as 180 degrees But often between degrees Figure 6.10 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 22

32 RF Cables and Connectors Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 32
33 RF Cables and Connectors RF cables and connectors may be used to connect antennas GOAL: Minimize decrease in signal strength Factors include Type Length Cost Impedance Impedance = measure of AC resistance Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 33
34 Cable Types Cables often used to extend distance from AP to external antenna WLANs use 50 ohm cable (CATV uses 75 ohm cable) Use rigid cable for long runs Figure 6.18 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 34
35 Cable Length All cable (even very short) will have some signal loss Best practices Use correct length cable Not too long. Not too short. Just right. Minimize connections Pigtail short cable to connect standard cable to proprietary cable Figure 6.19 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 35
36 Cable Cost Use high-quality RF cable You get what you pay for. Higher quality cable provides less signal loss Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 36
37 Impedance and VSWR Impedance = measure of AC resistance Rule: Match impedance of all components to minimize signal loss VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio Impedance mismatch results in VSWR High level of VSWR impacts WLAN performance WLANs have impedance of 50 ohms Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 37
38 RF Connectors RF connectors join devices together AP to Antenna Antenna to Cable Cable to Cable Connectors result in insertion loss Remember: To minimize VSWR keep connections to a minimum Figure 6.20 Common RF connectors Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 38
39 Proprietary Connectors Some regulatory domains require the use of proprietary connectors on antenna Use to prevent using the wrong antenna and exceeding the maximum power level See MC, MMCX, MCX, and RP-MMCX connectors by vendors Bottom of Page 186 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 39
