Our next issue and the most common issue is the radiation getting into our Ethernet\u00a0cables as well as our radios on the tower. \u00a0Below illustrates the propagation of signals coming out of an antenna on the top of the tower. \u00a0If you notice, some of the radiation is directed underneath of the antenna. Any equipment mounted too close underneath will be bombarded with radiation.<\/p>\n

Too much radiation can cause link negotiation issues, \u00a0signal degradation, \u00a0and other issues. \u00a0By moving our antennas out of the patterns of other antennas we can make for a more reliable system. \u00a0This is one case where higher on the tower is not always better. Just because another antenna is not mounted in front of another it does not mean they are in each other’s radiated patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Recently, we had a client question why we didn’t mount antennas higher up on a tower with an FM repeater on it. The top of the tower has an FM repeater on it so we mounted the equipment about 25 feet below that.
