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.

Antenna Selection and Description
1.1 Antenna Selection
While several antennas may work in a given environment, some will provide better coverage than others.
Using the right antenna in the right location will maximize both the performance and coverage of your
network. Understanding the key characteristics that describe how an antenna sends and receives radio
frequency signals is critical to finding the ideal antenna for your deployment. This guide supports the
antennas used for an AP-5131 or AP-5181 model access point and an AP300 (non-integrated antenna) model
access port.
Motorola Enterprise Wireless LAN products operate in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ISM bands allocated for
unlicensed use. Access point and access port products available today support either the 802.11b/g or the
802.11a standard, or both. Wireless devices conforming to the 802.11b/g standard operate in the 2.4 GHz
ISM band, while 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz band. The antennas in this guide are grouped
according to the frequency band they support. Some antennas are designed to operate on either band. These
antennas (described as "Dual-band") may be connected to radios operating in either the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands,
although a single antenna may not be connected to two radios at the same time.

1-2 Enterprise Wireless LAN Antenna Specification Guide
1.1.1 Access Points and Access Ports Supported
The antennas and accessories referenced in this guide are intended to customize the radiated signal lobes
of Motorola's WLAN product suite.
The access port (AP) supported is the AP300 (Part No. WSAP-5100-100-WWR). This access port has no
integrated antennas and some antenna must be added to the device. The AP300 supports both 5 GHz
(802.11a) and 2.4 GHZ (802.11b/g). The AP300 has two sets of antenna connectors providing diversity (for
each spectrum supported.
The two 5 GHz connectors on the AP300 are - RPSMA-Female
The two 2.4 GHz connectors on the AP300 are - RPBNC-Female
The AP-5131 and AP-5181 access points are also addressed in this document. For an AP-5131, there are
several different part number configurations unrelated to the actual antenna connections. An AP-5131 and
AP-5181 supports both 5 GHz (802.11a) and 2.4 GHZ (802.11b/g). Valid AP-5131 part numbers include:
The AP-5131 supports both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHZ spectrums, but the antenna connectors implemented on the
AP provide dual spectrum capability - both spectrums on one physical connector.
The connectors on the AP-5131are RP-SMA-Female.
The AP-5181 is used outdoors and only one part number is currently available (AP-5181-13040-WWR). Since
this device is intended to be mounted outside in unpredeicable weather, lightening protection is integrated
into the device design. As such, no additional lightning protection is required.
The connectors on the AP-5181are N-Type-Female.

1.1.2 Connector Types and Definitions
There are combinations of antenna types and cables required to provide a satisfactory connection to the AP.
One confusing factor is “reverse polarity”. Reverse polarity is the FCC's requirement for each WLAN
manufacturer to have unique access point connectors. Motorola (Symbol) had previously standardized our
offerings for access points/ports:
• 2.4 GHz is Reverse polarity BNC female (RP-BNC-F)
• 5 GHz is reverse polarity SMA female (RP-SMA-F)
• Dual Band is reverse polarity SMA female (for AP-5131), and N-Female (for AP-5181).
NOTE: Reverse polarity presents confusion because of a lack of a standardized definition
from connector manufactures. Reverse polarity provides a center element, which should
not be confused with a male connector. A male connector is defined by the outer jacket of
the connector rather than the center element .
The following displays the connectors used within this antenna specification guide:

Antenna Selection and Description 1-5
Additionally, antennas deployed outdoors and industry standard accessories like lightening arrestors use
Type-N connectors (as displayed below). Therefore, with the combinations devices required
(access points/ports, antennas, cable extensions, and lightening arrestors), various adapter cables are
required to connect an antenna to an access point/port.

1-6 Enterprise Wireless LAN Antenna Specification Guide
1.1.3 Indoor and Outdoor Antennas
One important aspect of an antenna is whether it is weather sealed to protect it from the environment
Because of this extra protection, outdoor antennas are typically more expensive than those rated for indoor
use. Outdoor antennas can be used for indoor applications, such as freezers and cooler where moisture is
common. Outdoor antennas can be used for indoor applications, but indoor applications should not be used
in outdoor applications.
One common distinction of outdoor antennas is the connector. Since lightning protection is always advised
for outdoor antennas, these antennas typically have Type N Male to directly attach the lightning arrestor.
This is tru of the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the dual-band outdoor antennas.
1.1.4 Spectrum and Part Number Designations
The antennas listed in this document are ultimately referenced by part number. A numerical sequence is used
within each antenna’s part number to identify the spectrum supported by the antennas.
• The antenna part numbers with a 2499 indicates a 2.4 GHz antenna. For more informaion on the 2.4 GHz
antenna suite, see 802.11b/g Antenna Suite on page 3-1.
• The antenna part numbers with a 5299 indicates a 5 GHz antenna. For more informaion on the 2.4 GHz
antenna suite, see 802.11a Antenna Suite on page 4-1.
• The antenna part numbers with a 2452 indicates a dual band antenna (2.4GHz and 5 GHz). For more
informaion on the 2.4 GHz antenna suite, see 2.4GHz - 5.2GHz Dual Band Antenna Suite on page 5-1.
1.1.5 Extended AP to Antenna Cable Lengths
Most indoor antennas are intended to be mounted directly to the AP's connectors. Some mounting
arrangements call for positioning the AP a significant distance away from the antenna due to serviceability
or other reason. In these situations, various adapters and cable extensions are required.
In these situations be mindful of:
• The connector on the AP
• The connector on the Antenna
• The spectrum being implemented
• Signal loss due to multiple connectors and long cable lengths
Combinations of these attributes present different parts required to complete the connection. The Product
Compatibility matrix in addresses the parts required to make a proper connection. For more information, see
on page -First Page.
Page 13
1.2 Antenna Selection Criteria
In addition to antenna frequency, there is other criteria to consider when selecting an antenna for the
AP-5131, AP-5181 or AP300 (non-integrated antenna) model access port.
1.2.1 Antenna Pattern
1.2.1.1 Omni-Directional
Signal radiates from the antenna in all directions on the horizontal plane.
1.2.1.2 Directional
Signal radiates in a specific direction, typically described as a beam of given width, expressed in degrees in
the horizontal and vertical plane. For more information, see Azimuth 3dB Beamwidth on page 1-8 and
Elevation 3dB Beamwidth on page 1-8.
1.2.2 Antenna Type
1.2.2.1 Panel
Antenna Selection and Description 1-7
A panel antenna is a flat antenna mounted to a wall or other vertical surface and radiates RF energy (radio
waves) directionally away from the wall. They usually have gain greater than 5 dBi and are not suitable for
omni-directional situations. Ideally suited for long hallways.
1.2.2.2 Patch
A patch antenna is a flat antenna mounted on the ceiling but whose pattern is omni-directional. Most of the
energy goes out horizontally to the sides of the antenna and equal in all directions.
1.2.2.3 Dipole
A dipole antenna is a tubular antenna that can be either a pipe shape, a straight flexible rod or a paddle. This
antenna has an omni-directional pattern when placed in a vertical position. It usually has 2 dBi of gain.
1.2.2.4 Dipole Array
Essentially a dipole, a dipole array is two or more dipoles that are placed one on top of the other, requiring
a longer tube to hold them. The advantage of a dipole array is that it has higher gain.
1.2.2.5 Parobolic Grid
A paraobolic grid antenna is a very directional, dish-like antenna. Its parabolic reflector focuses the RF
energy like a flashlight. Most of the time the radiating element is a dipole, but when combined with the dish,
it becomes very directional with gain up to 24 dBi. Usually used in long point-to-point systems.
1.2.2.6 Yagi
A yagi antenna is a antenna that has an internal structure resembling that of typical antennas used for TV
reception (a series of rods perpendicular to a main rod, making a triangular shape). This is a directional
antenna with less gain than the PGA, typically around 13 dBi. It may be used in either point-to-point
situations, or to cover a very long, narrow area in point-to-multi-point situations.
Page 14
1-8 Enterprise Wireless LAN Antenna Specification Guide
1.2.3 Antenna Performance Characteristics
1.2.3.1 Frequency
The frequency band within which the antenna performs at the stated specifications
1.2.3.2 Gain (dBi)
The relative amplification of the antenna with respect to an equivalent isotropic antenna, expressed on the
decibel logarithmic scale.
1.2.3.3 Cable loss (dB)
The signal strength loss introduced by the cable connected to the antenna expressed on the decibel
logarithmic scale.
1.2.3.4 Net gain (dBi)
The resulting amplification of the antenna paired with its cable.
1.2.3.5 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.
1.2.3.6 VSWR
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is 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.
1.2.3.7 Azimuth 3dB Beamwidth
Width of the antenna beam on the horizontal plane expressed in degrees.
1.2.3.8 Elevation 3dB Beamwidth
Height of the antenna beam on the vertical plane expressed in degrees.

1.3.1 Choosing the Right Antenna and accessories for your WLAN
It is important to consider a number of factors when choosing an antenna and accessories for your Motorola
enterprise WLAN. To choose the right components, you'll need to know:
• Where is the antenna to be installed, and what type of coverage is required. Knowing the intended radio
band is central. Determine if the intended radio coverage area supports dual 2.4/5.2 band traffic. Has the
antenuation of the coverage been discerned in respect to known barriers.
• In which band (802.11b/g or 802.11a) your network operates
• Which Motorola AP 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
• the serviceablity requirement for each AP and antenna deployment
Review the chart to determine which antennas suit your needs. Using the part numbers provided, determine
which of the antennas will work with your hardware in your environment.

Product Compatibility
To find the right antenna and accessories for your AP-5131, AP-5181 or AP300 (non-integrated antenna)
deployment:
• Find your Motorola access point or access point model at the top of the chart (refer to the chart on the
following page). Follow that column down to find the antennas, cables and lightning arrestors
compatible with that model access port or access point. Write those part numbers down.
• Follow the row antenna across the table to the columns for the lightning arrestors and cables you wrote
down to confirm that they compatible with the antenna you've chosen and determine if an adaptor is
required to connect the two selected parts.
