What if there was a Lite AP?

This site is not ABAB. It's not even AB. It is merely A. One sector; 120° wide,
with about 15 subs. About as low as you can go. The problem is that most of the
subs are near the outer edges of a 120° sector. Dividing it into 2 sectors
would be an option if we had (or expected) more subs, but this one I don't
think that will happen. I'm not inclined to burn a Canopy AP (or two even) on 7
or 8 subs each.

I think asking for 3 dB down at 120 degrees in dual pol with matching
patterns, good F/B and good sidelobes is not going to happen. I’d plan on ABAB
and look for a 90 degree sector.
Hmmmm, the published patterns for the KPP “Gen III” are kind of ugly, aren’t
they? Plus the HPOL and VPOL azimuth patterns don’t match very well.

I thought the KP sectors were suppose to be -3db at 120... I think almost
everything is rated at -6db now.

The new 120 is the old 90....search for something advertised as wider than
120 I guess?
What I'm looking for is a 120° sector that drops off no more than 3db
at the edges. The 6 db bull that seems to be common these days is not what
I'm looking for.
Also want good F/B ratio, good cross-pol performance, and tiny side
lobes. In perfect world, it would drop off 30db at 121°.
I want a pony too.

Good drop off is a good thing IMO.
If you want less drop off probably go with an original Airmax
sector. Those things bleed for days and the f/b isn't very good. We
installed half a dozen people 180* off one of them.

Has anyone found a decent TRUE 120° dual-polarity sector in 5
GHz? We're using a KP on one of our POPs and the drop-off at the edge of
the 120° is just too much for our taste.
