23dBi Directional Panel Antenna, Low Sidelobe Level - SLL

Operates over 5.1 - 5.9 GHz
23 dBi peak gain
Low Sidelobe Level
High attenuation level of orthogonal polarizations
Very low back radiation
Completely weatherproof - no vented holes

This single polarized panel antenna works in the 5.1 to 5.9 GHz band and exhibits the very desirable feature - the low SLL (Side Lobes Level).

In the upper operational frequency band, 5.6 - 5.85 GHz, side lobes are reduced by at least 20 dB compared to the main beam level.

In the real Wireless Lan systems antenna receives less interference signals from other directions than the main beam direction. This mechanism will also work in a transmit mode - the antenna sends signals with less power to other directions.

In the other word, the antenna alone will increase the Signal-to-Noise ratio and thus the system performance. This antenna will be very effective for both long-range links or as a client antenna in RF high-noise environments.

Sweep frequency 5.0 - 6.0 GHz. Markers: 5.15 - 5.36 - 5.825 GHz. The VSWR is better than 2:1 in the whole frequency range.

This figure shows the realized gain of the antenna. It takes into account all antenna's losses - is measured at the connector reference plane.
