Maximum Ratio Combining
AP1520 radios have a much higher transmit power, better receiver sensitivity, and broader outdoor 
temperature range as compared to AP1510 and AP1505 mesh access points.
The 5-GHz radio (802.11a) is a Single-in-Single-Out (SISO) architecture and the 2.4-GHz radio 
(802.11 b/g) is 1x3 Single-in-Multiple-Out (SIMO) architecture.
The 2.4-GHz radio has one transmitter and three receivers. Output power is configurable to 5 levels. 
With its 3 receivers enabling maximum-ratio combining (MRC), this radio has better sensitivity and 
range than a typical SISO 802.11b/g radio for OFDM rates.
When operating with data rates higher than 12 Mbps, you can increase gain on a 2.4-GHz radio to 2.7 
dB by adding two antennas and to 4.5 dB, by adding three antennas. For information about RX 
sensitivities and MRC gain, see
