I have an application where I need a 5.8 omni antenna with downtilt. The coverage diameter of the area is only about 1/10th of a mile total, and my HAAT is about 50 ft so I will need some pretty severe downtilt. Gain doesn't really matter, but a higher gain antenna is going to give me a flatter

Yes, to not use an Omni, but to use an Array. Max Rad made some of the first ones for 2.4G. Hyperlinktech makes some 4 sector arrays for 5.8Ghz. If needing only Verticle polarity, this is easy. Thats the configuration they sell them in. Will probably cost you around $600, for the kit with all

Two issues 1) People so quickly forget the scale involved. It is more hassle for these companies to do business with a small entity than the revenue they would receive. Think about it. A sales office with 5-6 agents to manage the sales for the towers they own. Then there are 5-10,000

Thanks for the suggestion. I am not a fan of any omnis, really, but this needs to be an omni because this is a mesh AP. Not only that, it is a gateway or root (place where bandwidth is injected). I don't have the option of different RF hardware. An array would work, but I don't really want the

Interesting. How do you get them slightly out of phase? Is the difference in length of the LMR, enough? And is the distance apart the mechanism to increase downtilt, or the amount out of phase? I'm assuming distance apart? Tom DeReggi RapidDSL Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband

You can slightly adjust the lengths of the coax between the antennas and the splitter. You will have to have a quarter wave matching segment too. There are telescoping transmission lines for this. Line stretchers, phase shifters, phase adjustable SMA connectors... they go by many names. Some
