[MLB-WIRELESS] Antenna Orientation

[evilbunny]

Hello Matt,

MP> Just a quick question about antenna's for those of you in the know.  I
MP> realise that antenna's normally are polarised horizontaly or vertically, so
MP> in saying that if more people with PTP links using directonal antenna's
MP> turned them 90degree's would this mean you could effectively run 2 cards on
MP> the same channel right next to each other but on differently polarized
MP> antenna's because they would not interfere with each other ??  Would this
MP> also work for tipping the antenna onto a 45degree angle ??

Turning the antenna 45 degrees = 3dBm loss, turning 90 degrees = 20dBm
loss, so you can *IF* you have enough physical separation between them
on the mast... or 2 directionals looking the other way etc etc etc,
physical separation is the key though...
