Figure 2-3 Potential Obstacles for a Directional Antenna
To minimize the influence of obstacles, signal interference or
reflections please note the following guidelines:
• Mount the antenna as high as possible above ground to allow
maximum clearance:
— In open areas,
ground
is the actual surface of the earth
— In dense urban areas
ground
is defined as the height of
the highest obstacle in the signal path between the two
antenna sites.
• Avoid trees or other foliage in the signal path to prevent
interference or signal absorption due to dynamic changes in
seasons (leaves/ice).
• Install the antenna at least 2 m (6 ft) away from all other
antennas.
Other situations where reflections of the radio signal may cause
interference are environments where large reflecting surfaces exist
in parallel or partly perpendicular to the antenna beam.
