Yes but not necessarily for more EIRP. At 5.8GHz a 23dB panel antenna is ~10deg where a 30dB 2' dish is ~5deg. Since you mentioned you are in a high noise environment, the narrower beamwidth would be preferred.
The benefit is that from the Tx side, you are minimizing the amount of spectrum pollution by minimizing the beamwidth and increasing power density. At the Rx side the antenna sees less sky and as such sees less noise increasing your overall link S/N. Depending on the direction of other tranmitters this can mean the differnece between a link that works and link that fails (think cupping your hand behind your ear to hear in a crowded room). A part of antenna selection that many don't consider is spectrum conservation. The goal is to try to achieve the desired link performance while using as little EIRP as possible and minimizing overspray. The less noise you put into the spectrum, the better things will be for you since your competetors won't need to turn up their radios to hear over yours. If you can manage to put up a link in a way that the other guys doesn't even know you are there, you win. If you cause him interference and he turns up his power, or worse moves channels you lose. - Jerry From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Jawad A Hai Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 10:03 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] PtP Flat Panel and MiMo Dish Antennas Too much antenna ?? you mean bigger antenna gain ??

The narrower beamwidths make a big difference in a noisy environments. - Jerry From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org<mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org> [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Jawad A Hai Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 11:26 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] PtP Flat Panel and MiMo Dish Antennas PtP I will go for short distances anything under 10 KM.
