Polarization
The direction of electro - vector radiated by antenna. The

vertical polarization wave is vertical with the plane of ground, and the horizontal polarization waves parallel with the plane of ground
Single antenna has only one polarization direction. Dual polarized antenna contains two single - polarized antenna

in one entity. Dual polarization antenna usually adopts +45/ 45 degree orthogonal polarization.

Coupling Between Antennas

Horizontal separation
main lobe

Sufficient decoupling distance: 5-10

Antenna patterns become superimposed if

distance is too close
Vertical separation

Decoupling distance:1 can provide better RX /TX decoupling

Minimum coupling loss

Page 36

Installation Examples
Recommended decoupling

TX - TX: ~30dB TX - RX: ~40dB

Horizontal decoupling distance

0,2m

depends on
Antenna gain Horizontal rad. pattern
Omni-directional antenna
Omni-directional.: 5 .. 20m directional : 1 ... 3m

Use vertical separation for RX and TX Use vertical separation (fork) for RX and diversity RX

Vertical decoupling is much more effective
