OverviewExecutive overviewThis antenna reference guide explains issues and concerns about antennas used with a Cisco Aironet andCatalyst wireless LAN system or wireless bridge system. It details deployment and design, limitations andcapabilities, and basic theories of antennas. This document also contains information about the Cisco antennasand accessories, as well as installation scenarios, regulatory information, and technical specifications anddiagrams of the available antennas.Overview of antennasEach Cisco Aironet radio product is designed to perform in a variety of environments. Implementing the antennasystem can greatly improve coverage and performance.To optimize the overall performance of a Cisco wireless LAN, it is important to understand how to maximizeradio coverage with the appropriate antenna selection and placement. An antenna system comprises numerouscomponents, including the antenna, mounting hardware, connectors, antenna cabling, and in some cases alightning arrestor. For a consultation, please contact a Cisco Aironet partner rtner locator.jsp.Cisco partners can provide onsite engineering assistance for complex requirements.Antenna properties and ratingsAn antenna gives the wireless system three fundamental properties: gain, direction, and polarization. Gain is ameasure of increase in power. Direction is the shape of the transmission pattern. A good analogy for anantenna is the reflector in a flashlight. The reflector concentrates and intensifies the light beam in a particulardirection similar to what a parabolic dish antenna would do to an RF source in a radio system.Antenna gain is measured in decibels, which is a ratio between two values. The gain of a specific antenna iscompared to the gain of an isotropic antenna. An isotropic antenna is a theoretical antenna with a uniformthree-dimensional radiation pattern (similar to a light bulb with no reflector). The decibels over an isotropicradiator (dBi) value is used to compare the power level of a given antenna to the theoretical isotropic antenna.The U.S. regulatory agency (the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC) uses dBi in its calculations. Anisotropic antenna is said to have a power rating of 0 dB, meaning that it has zero gain/loss when compared toitself.Unlike isotropic antennas, dipole antennas are real antennas. Dipole antennas have a different radiation patterncompared to isotropic antennas. The dipole radiation pattern is 360 degrees in the horizontal plane and 75degrees in the vertical plane (assuming the dipole antenna is standing vertically) and resembles a doughnut inshape. Because the beam is “slightly” concentrated, dipole antennas have a gain over isotropic antennas of2.14 dB in the horizontal plane. Dipole antennas are said to have a gain of 2.14 dBi (in comparison to anisotropic antenna).Some antennas are rated in comparison to dipole antennas. This is denoted by the suffix dBd, short for decibelsover a dipole antenna. Hence, dipole antennas have a gain of 0 dBd ( 2.14 dBi).Note that the majority of documentation refers to dipole antennas as having a gain of 2.2 dBi. The actual figureis 2.14 dBi, but it is often rounded up. 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.Page 4 of 79
Types of antennasCisco offers several different styles of antennas for use with access points and bridges in both 2.4-GHz and 5GHz products. Every antenna offered for sale has been FCC-approved. Each type of antenna has differentcoverage capabilities. As the gain of an antenna increases, there is some tradeoff in its coverage area. Usuallyhigh-gain antennas offer longer coverage distances, but only in a certain direction. The radiation patternsdescribed below show the coverage areas of the styles of antennas that Cisco offers: dipole, omnidirectional,and patch antennas.Omnidirectional antennasAn omnidirectional antenna (Figure 1) is designed to provide a 360-degree radiation pattern. This type ofantenna is used when coverage in all directions from the antenna is required. The standard 2.14-dBi “rubberduck” is one style of omnidirectional antenna.Figure 1.Omnidirectional antennaDirectional antennasDirectional antennas come in many different styles and shapes. An antenna does not offer any added power tothe signal; it simply redirects the energy it receives from the transmitter. By redirecting this energy, it has theeffect of providing more energy in one direction and less energy in all other directions. As the gain of adirectional antenna increases, the angle of radiation usually decreases, providing a greater coverage distancebut with a reduced coverage angle. Directional antennas include patch antennas (Figure 2) and parabolicdishes. Parabolic dishes have a very narrow RF energy path, and the installer must be accurate in aiming thesetypes of antennas at each other.Figure 2.Directional patch antenna 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

CablingCabling introduces losses into the system, negating some of the gain an antenna introduces and reducing therange of the RF coverage.Interconnect cableAttached to all antennas (except the standard dipoles), this cable provides a 50-ohm impedance to the radioand antenna, with a flexible connection between the two items. It has a high loss factor and should not be usedexcept for very short connections (usually less than 10 feet). Typical length on all antennas is 36 inches.Low-loss and ultra-low-loss cableCisco offers two styles of cables for use with the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz product lines. These cables provide amuch lower loss factor than standard interconnect cables, and they can be used when the antenna must beplaced at any distance from the radio device. While these are low-loss cables, they should still be kept to aminimum length.Two types of cables are available for mounting the antenna away from the radio unit. The 100- and 150-footcables are LMR600-type cables, while the 20- and 50-foot cables are LMR400-type cables. All four lengthsare supplied with one reverse polarity-TNC (RP-TNC) plug and one RP-TNC jack connector attached. Thisallows for connection to the radio unit and to the interconnect cable supplied on the antenna.ConnectorsAccording to the U.S. Federal Code of Regulations, products used in the 2.4- and 5-GHz ISM bandsmanufactured after June 1994 must either use connectors that are unique and nonstandard (meaning notreadily available on the market) or be designed to be professionally installed (“professional” here indicates aperson trained in RF installation and regulations). Since many of the 2.4-GHz products are installed by non-RFtrained personnel, these products must comply with the unique connector rule. The Cisco outdoor access andbridge products are designed for installation by an RF professional, and therefore may use a standard N-styleconnector. Cisco Aironet indoor products use RP-TNC connectors. While these are similar to the normal TNCconnectors, they cannot be mated to the standard connectors.Cisco has recently introduced a new multi-RF connector known as DART. DART connectors can support four oreight RF signals along with several electrical pins. Cisco developed the DART connector to simplify installationsand to create a single insertion cable to go along with a new line of self-identifying antennas (SIA) containingcircuitry to automate provisioning and detection.To ensure compatibility with Cisco products, use antennas and cabling from Cisco.Note: Self-identifying antennas (SIA) are supported starting from IOS XE 17.5.1 and later software for C9800WLCs.Mounting hardwareEach antenna requires some type of mounting. The standard dipole antenna simply connects to the RP-TNCconnector on the unit. Mast-mount antennas are designed to mount to a variety of mast diameters, and eachcomes with mounting hardware for attachment. Patch antennas are designed to mount flat against a wall orceiling, and ceiling-mount antennas are equipped with a drop-ceiling cross-member attachment.For most indoor applications, a .75- or 1-inch electrical conduit provides a suitable mounting. For outdoorapplications, use a heavy galvanized or aluminum wall mast that will withstand the wind-loading rating of theselected antenna. 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Lightning arrestorsWhen using outdoor antenna installations, it is always possible that an antenna will suffer damage from chargesdeveloping on the antenna and cable, or surges induced from nearby lightning strikes. The Cisco Aironetlightning arrestor is designed to protect 2.4-GHz to 5-GHz radio equipment from static electricity and lightninginduced surges that travel on coaxial transmission lines. Both systems need to be properly grounded asidentified in the hardware installation manuals of the products. These protection mechanisms will not preventdamage in the event of a direct lightning hit.Theory of operationThe Cisco Aironet Lightning Arrestor (Figure 3) prevents energy surges from reaching the RF equipment byshunting them to the ground. Surges are limited to less than 50 volts, in about 0.0000001 second (100nanoseconds). A typical lightning surge is about 0.000002 second (2 microseconds).Figure 3.Cisco Aironet Lightning ArrestorThe accepted IEEE transient (surge) suppression is 0.000008 second (8 microseconds). The Cisco AironetLightning Arrestor is a 50-ohm transmission line with a gas discharge tube positioned between the centerconductor and ground. This gas discharge tube changes from an open circuit to a short circuit almostinstantaneously in the presence of voltage and energy surges, providing a path to ground for the energy surge.InstallationThis arrestor is designed to be installed between your antenna cable and the Aironet access point. Installationshould be indoors or inside a protected area. A good ground must be attached to the arrestor. This can beaccomplished by attaching a ground lug to the arrestor and using a heavy wire (number 6 solid copper) toconnect the lug to a good earth ground. 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Some antennas are rated in comparison to dipole antennas. This is denoted by the suffix dBd, short for decibels over a dipole antenna. Hence, dipole antennas have a gain of 0 dBd ( 2.14 dBi). Note that the majority of documentation refers to dipole antennas as having a gain of 2.2 dBi. The actual figure is 2.14 dBi, but it is often rounded up.
