What is azimuth chart | H-Plane Top-down view of the radiation pattern of an antenna |
What is the elevation chart | E-Plane Side view of the radiation of an antenna |
What is the beamwidth | Measures how broad or narrow the focus of an antenna is |
What is an omnidirectional antenna | RF radiates coverage in all directions |
What is a semidirectional antenna | RF radiates similar to a wall sconce. Directional across a large area |
What is a highly directional antenna | Radiates RF similar to a spotlight focusing light |
What are sector antennas | High gain semidirectional antennas Providing coverage in a pie-shape Also known as sectorized array |
What is static beamforming | Directional antennas in a fixed radiation pattern |
What is dynamic beamforming | Focused RF energy in a specific directional Radiation pattern can change per frame |
What is transmit beamforming | Transmits multiple phase-shifted signals Either implicit or explicit Introduced in 802.11n |
What is implicit transmit beamforming | Use of implicit channel-sounding process to optimize phase differentials |
What is explicit transmit beamforming | Requires feedback from the station to determine amount of phase-shift required for each signal Defined in 802.11ac |
What is the fresnel zone | Area surrounding the path of visual line of sight between two point-to-point antennas |
First Fresnel zone | Closest ellipsoid |
What is Earth bulge | For antennas more than 7 miles away Impedes on Fresnel zone |
What is antenna polarization | Alignment of antenna Should be oriented same way as the receiving antenna for strongest signal |
What is antenna diversity | Helps compensate for multipath AP w/ two or more antennas to minimize multipath |
MIMO | Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output Antenna diversity Takes advantage of multipath |
VSWR | Voltage Standing Wave Ratio Measurement of change in impedances to an AC signal |
