Most sectors spew shit all over the place. It's also called a symmetric sector for a reason. The V beamwidth matches the H beamwidth.
Surely this isn't the first time you've seen these. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Moffett" <dmmoff...@gmail.com> To: af@afmug.com, af@afmug.com Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2016 8:21:00 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ePMP 2000 and RF Elements I'm not sure if that all jives. The energy has to go somewhere...if it's not coming out the front it ought to be coming out the sides or rear. I.E. if it's not emitting outside the intended area, wouldn't the gain by higher rather than lower? ------ Original Message ------ From: "Mike Hammett" < af...@ics-il.net > To: af@afmug.com Sent: 8/16/2016 9:11:19 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ePMP 2000 and RF Elements "Could", but likely not. From what I've heard from RF Elements and those that have deployed them, the gain numbers can't really be compared straight with the antennas we're used to. For one, it's a consistent value across the band and across the intended radiation pattern. There are no major nulls where your 18 dB antenna is really only doing 10 anyway. It also has almost no emissions outside of the intended area. That means you have a significantly lower amount of noise heard from outside the intended area. *May* not have as much signal, but the noise should be more than the difference less. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt" < matt.mailingli...@gmail.com > To: af@afmug.com Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2016 8:07:19 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ePMP 2000 and RF Elements > Any reason you couldn't use an RF Elements horn with an ePMP 2000 (and it's > smart antenna)? I assume not, but figured I'd ask. There 90 degree horn appears to only have 10 db gain which could be limiting.
