RE: [smartBridges] Combined power of radio/antenna

[Kevin Proctor]

I’m not Seeni, but can answer that.  It is not really a third, either.  One antenna will get almost half with the other two getting almost 25% each.  This is due to the way a power splitter works.  You can split power roughly in halves, quarters, eighths, etc.  A 3 Way splitter splits the signal in half, then splits one of those halves in half.  This is the simplest and least expensive way to do it.     Kevin B.

Did you mean power would be a third since it is 3 antennas?? Thanks!

Yes, definitely it will improve the send and receive quality by adding 3 aPPO individually. In this case, each unit should operate at the different frequency to avoid any channel interference.   Seeni sB Tech Support [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: Sevak Avakians [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 11:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Combined power of radio/antenna   Quick question: If you have a 3-way splitter into 3 sector antennas and 1 APPO, is the quality improved by removing the splitter and using 3 APPOs?  Is this the receive quality or transmit quality or both?
