Wireless I/O Product Antennas and Antenna Accessories

Antenna Basics, Banner document number 132113 includes a basic description of how antennas work, how an omni-directional antenna differs from a directional (Yagi) antenna, and how to connect a remote antenna system.

For a printable list of all available antennas, accessories, and cabling, refer to the Accessories List.

Omni-Directional Antennas

Omni-directional antennas mount vertically and transmit and receive equally in all directions within the horizontal plane. Omni-directional antennas are used with the SureCross Gateway, because the Gateway is usually at the center of the star topology radio network.

Directional (Yagi) Antennas

A directional, or Yagi, antenna focuses the radio signal in one specific direction. If you compare antenna radiation patterns to light, an omni antenna radiates a radio signal like a light bulb evenly in a spherical pattern. A directional antenna radiates similar to a flashlight focusing the signal only in one direction. The higher the gain, the more focused the beam becomes.
