Polarization: the orientation of the electrical field 
which the antenna is optimized to receive. If the 
transmitting and receiving antennas are both linear 
polarized, then turning one 90° so that they are 
cross polarized will reduce the range significantly.
VSWR: Voltage Standing Wave Ratio. The ratio of  
maximum voltage to minimum voltage along the 
line. Expresses the degree of match between the 
transmission line and the terminating element  
(antenna). When VSWR is 1:1 the match is perfect, a  
VSWR of 1.5:1 corresponds to 96% power efficiency.
Azimuth 3dB Beamwidth: width of the antenna 
beam on the horizontal plane expressed in degrees. 
Elevation 3dB Beamwidth: height of the antenna 
beam on the vertical  plane expressed in degrees.

Choosing the right antenna and accessories 
for your Motorola enterprise WLAN
It is important to consider a number of factors 
when choosing an antenna and accessories for your 
Motorola enterprise WLAN. In order to choose the 
right components, you’ll need to know:
Where you will be installing the antenna, and 
what type of coverage you will require
In which band (i.e. 802.11b/g or 802.11a) your 
network operates
Which Motorola AP you plan to use
Whether you will be deploying the network 
indoors or outdoors
The distance between AP and antenna, to 
determine extender cable length, if any
With this information, review the tables below and 
determine which antennas might suit your needs. 
Using the part numbers provided in the tables, go 
to the compatibility chart on page 5 to determine 
which of the possible antennas will work with your 
hardware in your environment. If you’d prefer, you 
may go to the compatibility chart first, and then look 
up the antennas listed in the table below to find the 
one that best meets your needs.
