High-Gain Omni Antennas
The antenna shown in Figure B-8 is a high-gain 12-dBi omni antenna from Mobile Mark Antennas. It is designed with no down tilt for use in long-range communication between sites with similar elevations. If the gain is very high, the antenna has a very narrow vertical beam width resulting in poor performance for indoor applications or those installations where there is a height disparity. An example would be an antenna located on top of a high building, which is intended to provide "local" coverage on the ground. Figure B-8. 12-dBi Omni AntennaTable B-6 lists the specification for a typical 12-dBi omni antenna. Note the very narrow vertical beam width.
