Introduction:

This paper describes how you can find the right antenna and cable. By using different kind of antennas and cables many different

applications can be realized from indoor radio coverage to outdoor Point to Point or Point to Multipoint links. Most of the application

can be realized by using a few cables and antennas.

Outdoor solutions:

The outdoor solutions are based on the Wx000 Series and RTNC connectors, and by using an RSMA adapter they can also be used

with other Funkwerk-EC products also, e.g. ComPoint Butterfly, X2250, X2301w etc. which are equipped with an RSMA jack. The TX

Power must be adjusted according to the used antenna solution and existing regulations, to not exceed the limit of 20dBm e.i.r.p.

(2,4 GHz) and 23dBm (5Ghz, with Master-Slave DFS) in Europe. In the following pages you can find some solutions, which vary in

distance, data rate, antenna cable length, and frequency band. You can decide which suits your needs best by using this table or the

online configuration tool on the Funkwerk-ec Website.

Directional antennas and cables for outdoor solutions:

Funkwerk offers 3 kinds of outdoor antennas, with different sizes and gains. All antennas can be mounted at walls or poles and have

N jack.

Antenna 1: Dual band patch antenna with 13,5 dBi / 15,5 dBi gain (2,4GHz / 5GHz)

Can be used for 2,4 and 5 GHz links, just by setting the frequency in the Wx000 device. Small, light weight antenna for smaller

distances (~0,5 … 1km depending on speed and frequency).

Antenna 2: Single band dish antenna for 2,4 GHz, 22,2 dBi gain, 60cm diameter

Closed dish antenna with high gain, for higher distances (~1 … 7,5km, depending on speed).

Antenna 3: Single band patch antenna for 5 GHz, 23 dBi gain, 45cm x 45 cm

Small patch antenna due to 5 GHz operating frequency. Ideal for use in areas with interference resulting from other 2,4GHz systems,

for medium to higher distance (~0,5 … 7km, depending on speed).

Antenna 1 Antenna 2 Antenna 3

Surge arrester: Dual band surge arrester can be used for 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz, with N plug and N jack.

Caution: The surge arrester must be grounded properly!

Jumper cable RTNC Plug- N Plug:

connects the device (Wx000) to the surge arrester, 50cm high quality, high flexible low loss cable.

RTNC plug N plug

Antenna cable N plug – N jack:

connects the antenna to the surge arrester, available in 5m and 20m high quality, high flexible low loss cable. Two or more cables

can be connected in series to increase length at reduced distances.

Cable losses:

Typical cable loss: 0,266dB/m@2,44GHz; 0,426dB/m@5,5GHz

Typical connector loss: 0,125dB@2,44GHz; 0,25dB@5,5GHz

Cable losses of assembled cables:

0,5m RTNC Plug – N Plug: 0,4dB@2,44GHz; 0,7dB@5,5GHz

5m N Plug – N jack: 1,6dB@2,44GHz; 2,6dB@5,5GHz

20m N Plug – N jack: 5,6dB@2,44GHz; 9dB@5,5GHz

Insertion loss of surge arrester: 0,5dB@2,44GHz; 0,9dB@5,5GHz

e.i.r.p. and regulatories:

In Europe the maximum e.i.r.p. (Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) must not exceed 20dBm @2,4GHz!

At 5 GHz the regulatories are different from country to country. Usually 23dBm must not be exceeded when using Master-Slave DFS

(Dynamic Frequency Selection).

To calculate the maximum RF power subtract Antenna gain and add the cable losses to max. e.i.r.p.

Example, Solution1: Ant. Gain is 13,5dBi@2,4GHz, the cable Loss is (0,7+0,4+0,5+1,6)dB=3,2dB. This results in a maximum

transmit power (in dBm) of 20-13,5+3,2=9,7. If this power can’t be set, you must use the next smaller value, e.g. 9dBm.

Fade Margin:

Definition: The difference between the receiver signal input level and the receiver sensitivity. Fade margin is usually considered the

safety factor allowing the system to remain operating under additional forms of attenuation.

We recommend a fade Margin of ~8 … 10 dB for 2,4 GHz systems and around 6dB for 5 GHz systems (due to a lower noise level).

The fade margin can be set to zero, but this can result in a unstable system, lower data rates and losses of connectivity.

Ack Window:

For distances of 1km and more you must adjust the time for the “Ack Window”, otherwise the transmission will fail due to the fact that

the delay of the signal will cause time outs. For each km set the value to 10, e.g. 20 for 2 km, 55 for 5,5km. For distances below 1 km

you usually won´t need to adjust this value. Please refer to the user´s manual how to set this value.

Green: with ~9dB fade margin, with surge arrester (recommended)

Red: fade margin ~0, with surge arrester (not recommended)

50cm cable RTNC-N connector + 5m or 20m N connector

Total cable loss per side is around 3,15dB@5m or 7,15dB@20m including 0,7dB Pigtail inside the device (Wx000).

The above Matrixes show that the distance can be increased by decreasing the fade margin. 6 dB stronger signal results in double

distance. This means the distance can be doubled, by losing 6dB signal strength. This might work in certain installations, but it might

also result in a very unstable or non-performant link.

to connect to devices with RTNC like Wx000

Directional:

Art. No: 600512, ANT-D-8/11-dual-0,2m

Dual band antenna, can be used either in 2,4 GHZ or 5 GHz installations just by switching the operating mode in the Wx000 device.

Gain is 8,5dBi at 2,4 GHz, or 10,5 dBi at 5 GHz. This antenna can be used for sectors or short distance Point to Point connections.

The Antenna comes with a 20cm cable and RTNC plug, and can either be connected directly to a Wx000 or other device with RTNC,

or extended with an RTNC cable.

Cables – RSMA-RTNC:

In the product portfolio of Funkwerk Enterprise Communications you will find two kinds of connectors at the devices. One type is

RSMA, and the other is RTNC. RSMA is used mainly in smaller devices because of it’s smaller size. RTNC is used in most industrial

products and Wx000.

Examples of products with RSMA connector:

If a special antenna needs to be connected to this devices, an adapter must be used. Actually there are three kinds of adapters

defined. All three have RSMA plug and RTNC jack. This makes it possible to use any antenna (also the outdoor antennas) with

devices equipped with RSMA jack.

RSMA jack – plug RTNC jack (normal or bulkhead)

The three kinds of adapters are:

Art. No: 600505, CAB-RSMA-RTNC-0,2m

20cm jumper cable, which can be used to simply adapt from RTNC to RSMA

Cable Loss: 0,4dB@2,4GHz, 0,7dB@5,5GHz

Art. No: 600503, CAB-RSMA-RTNC-1m

1m Bulkhead extender with high quality, high flexible low loss cable, which can be used to connect through an enclosure like e.g. a

cabinet. The RTNC jack can be fixed with a nut.

Cable loss: 0,5dB@2,4GHz, 0,9dB@5,5GHz

Art. No: 600504, CAB-RSMA-RTNC-3m

Same as above, but 3m instead of 1m.

Cable loss: 1dB@2,4GHz, 1,8dB@5,5GHz

Cables – RTNC:

The connector type RTNC is used in ComPoint Enterprise, artem Wx000, and some types of ComPoint Industrial. Some Examples:

Some antennas with RTNC plug can be connected directly to the devices, however, if the cable needs to be extended, we offer three

lengths of extension cables. Cable losses are not that critical in indoor environment than in outdoor environment, because the

distances are usually smaller and cables shorter.

Art. No: 600500, CAB-RTNC-1m

1m extension cable with high quality, high flexible low loss cable with RTNC plug and TNC jack.

Cable loss: 0,5dB@2,4GHz, 0,9dB@5,5GHz
