Case Project 3-1 Antenna Type
Using the internet and other resources, research the different types …show more content…
If you want to connect two office buildings that are across the street from one another and need to share a network connection semi-directional would be a good choice. Or if you have a long narrow room where you need coverage throughout the whole room you can mount the antenna on an end wall. This is because the side-to side signal will not travel as far but the forward signal will travel quite far.
What is its maximum transmission distance?
Semi-directional range can vary greatly but is commonly used in situations that call for a range of a few hundred feet to two miles.
Advantages and disadvantages?
The main advantage of a semi-directional antenna is that in some cases a semi-directional antenna can provide such a long range coverage that they eliminate the need for multiple access points. The main disadvantage is that if you need coverage over a large open area, such as a cubical office where the entire floor is open, a semi-directional antenna would not be the best choice because not every computer will receive coverage.
