That's the way that Cambium's own sector is built, and that's to try to eliminate local (tower) noise by 3dB, correct? It still feels like that's simply going to lower overall signal by 3dB as well - but if I understand correctly, Cambium is basically saying that this will help lower other H and V noise, and yet the AP should still be able to add the +45 and -45 signals together to arrive at the same signal as H/V with 3dB less noise than H/V - correct?
Hi ninedd,
Yes, we use dual slant for the 2.4 GHz ePMP sector. The 2.4 GHz integrated SM is H/V. The reciever logic is able to compensate for this mismatch resulting in no loss whatsoever. Here's a thread with a technical whitepaper in one of my posts in there on how this is done: http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/ePMP-1000/2-4Ghz-Antenna-Questions-Slant-or-Linear/m-p/36711/highlight/true#M710
Thanks,
Sriram
