A tightly notched cavity filter (but then, you lose system flexibility in other ways)

Charles, unfortunately Canopy isn't a financially viable solution at present. I have a rough idea of these 2 terms but I'll research them a little deeper to see if they shed some light. Anything else that may help on my quest? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Moldashel Sent: 18 January 2006 00:25 To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Multiple Radios on Single antenna Ahhhhh......Lets do some math....... Lets say the radio has a +20 dB output. For this example there is no line loss. The antenna is rated at 30dB x-pole isolation. Here we go... +20 dB -30dB xpole = -10 dB receive level. In my book that is high enough to kill any link of the same freq on the opposite polarity....No??? Add to that a radio that needs to Rx and Tx on and off and you should have receiver blocking....... -B- Matt Liotta wrote: > Depending on various factors, you should see at least 15db of > attenuation between polarizations on a dual-pol antenna. > Theoretically, you should see 20db.
