Enterprise Wireless LAN Antenna

This document provides an RF engineer a catalog of antenna parts and accessories to complete a customized RF environment. This guide specifically addresses the antennas used for 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz and dual band antenna implementations for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). It is important to understand that antenna and accessory selection should be qualified by on-site testing with the actual components used. Signal attenuation is cumulative with each connection and component added between the antenna and the radio, so careful study should verify the given arrangement delivers the expected results.
