About This Guide; Document Conventions - Motorola AP-5181 - Wireless Access Point Specifications Manual

Introduction
This guide provides an RF engineer a catalog of antenna parts and accessories to complete a customized RF
environment. This guide specifically addresses the antennas used for 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g
implementations for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
It is important to understand that antenna and accessory selection should be qualified by on-site testing with
the actual components used. Signal attenuation is cumulative with each connection and component added
between the antenna and the radio, so careful study should verify the given arrangement delivers the
expected results.
NOTE: Illustrations displayed in this guide are samples and can differ from the actual
antenna.
