How to Choose the Right Antennas for Your Booster
Outside Antennas:
- Yagi Directional Antenna: This antenna is more powerful because it focuses on sending and receiving signals in one direction. It works best when there are no major obstacles blocking its path to the cell tower. It's not ideal for areas with large obstructions like hills or buildings.
- Omni Antenna: This antenna sends and receives in all directions, so it's better for hilly areas or if you need to support multiple carriers with towers in different directions. It doesn’t need to be aimed, but it also isn’t as strong as the Yagi antenna.
- High Gain LPDA Antenna: Perfect for areas with very weak signals, this antenna significantly boosts signal strength. It needs a clear line of sight to the cell tower and requires a sturdy mount because of its size.
Inside Antennas:
- Panel Antenna: Can be placed on walls or ceilings and directs the signal towards a specific area. This antenna is great for homes and tall ceilings in buildings.
- Standard Dome Antenna: Designed to mounted on the ceiling, this antenna spreads the signal evenly throughout the area. It's best suited for drop ceilings or spaces where cables can be run above the ceiling.
- Ultra-Thin Dome Antenna: This slim antenna also mounts to the ceiling, but is much is less noticeable. It's much stronger than a standard dome antenna, making it a great choice for places where both looks and signal strength are important.
Tips for Choosing:
- Choose Omni Antennas for general coverage with no aiming required.
- Choose Directional Antennas (Yagi or LPDA) when you can point directly at a cell tower and need stronger signal and more inside coverage.
- Interior Size Considerations: One antenna per 750-1,500 sq ft in homes, or 1,500-2,500 sq ft in open spaces like offices and warehouses.
Wilson 859114 -7 dB Tap with N Female Connectors
Product Information
Product Information
The Wilson -7 dB 50 Ohm Tap with N Female Connectors (859114) plays a crucial role in distributed antenna systems, helping to balance and distribute the signal effectively across multiple antennas. This device is specifically designed to ensure consistent signal strength throughout the network.
- Signal Distribution: Features one output port with a -7 dB reduction from the input signal and a second output port with only a -1.5 dB reduction, optimizing signal balance and distribution.
- N-Female Connectors: Equipped with N-Female connectors, facilitating secure and efficient connections to other components within the system.
- Connectivity Requirements: Requires additional cables for operation. Typically, a 2 ft Wilson400 coax cable is used to connect the tap to the amplifier, with further cables needed to link to internal antennas.
This tap ensures that the signal is evenly distributed across the antenna system, enhancing overall system performance and reliability in large scale installations.
