3/25/2005                                            Coho Diversity 6.5 dBi Patch Technical Specification




1. Introduction
    This document describes the set of specifications for a diversity patch antenna to be
    used in the 2.4 GHz band. The basic features of this antenna are as follows:
        • Directional antenna for indoor/outdoor operation
        • RP-TNC Connector with 3-ft of plenum rated, cold temperature capable cable.
        • Operates over the entire 2.4 GHz band.
        • Peak gain is around 6.5 dBi
    In general, this antenna will be housed in a white polycarbonate radome very similar
    to the Coho AIR-ANT2485P-R except that there will be two cables. It will be built
    with 3 feet of off-white plenum rated cable and terminated in an RP-TNC.

    The specifications for this antenna will be presented sequentially with Electrical
    Specifications first, followed by Mechanical/Environmental Specifications and
    General Specifications.

2. Physical Appearance
    The actual antenna inside the radome is expected to be built on a fairly large ground
    plane of about 110 mm x 165 mm (3.94 in x 6.5 in). This large ground plane size
    allows for the placement of two patches over the same ground plane as well as the use
    of a simple radome that fits over the ground plane rather than use two pieces of
    plastic to form the enclosure. This will lend itself to a rectangular radome of about
    110 mm x 165 mm x 25 mm. The actual antennas will be arranged on the ground
    plane as shown in Figure 2.1. The radome has not been designed at this time.

3. Diversity 6.5 dBi Patch Antenna Specification
      This section contains both the electrical and mechanical specs for the Coho diversity
      6.5 dBi patch antenna. Basically, this package contains two patch antennas built with
      an air dielectric over a ground plane. The antenna will have 3 feet of white/off-white
      plenum rated coaxial cable capable of operating down to -30 C.

      3.1. Antenna Electrical Specifications and Patterns
          The electrical specifications for this antenna are summarized in Table 3.1.1
          below. H- and E-plane patterns are shown in Figures 3.1.1.and 3.1.2. Note that
          the patterns shown include all cable losses as well as the losses associated with a
          hand built radome.

                             There are two antennas housed in a single radome,

                            an air dielectric over the ground plane. Each patch is
  11      Construction        40 mm W x 51 mm L and is formed from a single
                             piece of brass. The ground plane is 110 mm x 165
                              mm and is built from 2.6 mm thick aluminum. The
                             patches are placed 7 mm above the ground plane.
