Interference
Always mount the antennas in an open area for the
best signal propagation. Avoid objects that may affect the RF signal. There are
a number of objects that can cause interference. Some of the objects that may
have a detrimental effect on a signal are shown in Figure
.
Avoid
the following sources of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI):
- Fluorescent lights and Fusion 2.4-GHz lighting systems
- Microwave ovens
- Air conditioning ductwork
- Other radio equipment
Always attempt to mount the AP and antennas as far away from these
items as possible.
RF Propagation
RF propagation is covered
in Module 3. Remember the characteristics listed in Figures
,
, and
when performing
a site survey.
