[MLB-WIRELESS] Cheap Waveguide antenna for Access Points

[Jason Hecker]

>Excuse my ignorance but with the helicals  what is CP? and does a left hand
>spiral or a right hand spiral have any influence?

CP be Circular Polarisation.  Left and right hand polarisation doesn't 
matter with linear antennas, but only with respect to each other.  With 
circularly polarised antennas, you must get the handedness the same for both.

>What polarisation will most people in this net opt for?

For linear antennas, horizontal polarisation should be the norm.  But oh 
bugger, the slotted waveguide is horizontally polarised and most omni's are 
vertically polarised.  Conumdrum!  See, if everyone used left handed 
helicals then this wouldn't be a problem.  ;)

If you have an access point, just advertise which side of the fence you sit 
on so the punters can orientate their Galaxy aerials and Milo tins properly.
