[WISPA] Multi-Mini-PCI self interference

2006-11-19 Thread Tom DeReggi
Has anyonoe tested the amount of self interference created between two MiniPCI RF cards mounted in the same box in the same spectrum range? Does the connector bleed RF? My original thought for multi-Slot boards (Mikroti/WAR) was that if I wanted to put in 4 cards, I could put in a 2.4, 900,

I haven't tested with equipment, but I am running several repeaters with two 2.4 Ghz cards in the same enclosure (on the same board) without issue. I am even managing to do it without any separation to speak of on the antennas, as they are mounted within 18 inches of each other in several cases.

I have a site with 3 repeater links at 5.x GHz and 1 AP in the 2.4 GHz band. Our standard AP is now 2x2.4 GHz and 2x900 MHz. We really blanket an area like that. If we have LOS we use 2.4 GHz otherwise we use 900 MHz. I can't give any real numbers as to interference but it does work. I make
