Proxim TSUNAMI CPN 65756B User Manual

If any significant part of this zone is obstructed, a portion of the radio energy will be lost, resulting in reduced 

performance.  Reduced performance can also occur when obstacles close to the antenna beam cause signal 

reflections or noise that interfere with the radio signal. 

The following figure shows some typical examples of obstacles that you must avoid for the directional 

antenna to operate effectively: 

▪ 

Neighboring buildings 

▪ 

Trees or other obstructions 

▪ 

Power lines 

To allow optimal performance you must ensure that the type and placement of the antennas leave sufficient 

clearance of the Fresnel Zone at the maximum width of the bulge, which is typically at the mid-point between 

the antennas.
