 Technical Specification for the Salar 2.4 GHz 802.11n Ceiling
              Mount Omnidirectional Antenna




                                           Headline
This document outlines the technical requirements for a 2.4 GHz plenum rated antenna to
be used with Cisco Aironet 802.11n and/or pre-802.11n capable access points. This
antenna is built with three (3) radiating elements and three plenum rated cables. The
antenna is designed to mount to a grid-style ceiling system employing T-rails or
“Trimline” channel-type system.

9/13/2006                                            Salar 2.4 GHz 802.11n Ceiling Mount Omni Specification




1. Introduction
   This document describes the complete set of required specifications for a plenum
   rated antenna for 2.4 GHz pre-802.11n and 802.11n 3-antenna access points. The
   radiating elements are simple monopole elements above a ground plane, and each
   element is fed with its own cable. The entire antenna will be composed of three such
   elements, each spaced about 4 inches (center-to-center) apart, or about 0.83
   wavelengths. Each cable is 3-ft long, off-white and plenum rated, built with a
   reverse polarity-TNC connector. The radome will be based on those used for
   previous Cisco antenna products so that it has the same “family” look and feel.
2. Antenna Electrical Specifications
   The electrical specifications for this antenna are summarized in Table 1 below. All
   the manufacturer’s specifications should be reported in data sheet format.

3. Mechanical and Environmental Specifications
   The mechanical specifications will cover the physical appearance of the antenna as
   well as all mounting, cable and connectors. The mechanical and environmental specs
   are summarized in Table 2. A model of the antenna housing is shown in Figure 1 and
   Figure 2 shows the radiating elements inside the radome. The proposed ground plane
   is 4” x 12”. Each antenna needs about 4” x 4” to give the sort of performance we are
   looking for so that yields spacing between each antenna of about 0.83 wavelengths.
