A single antenna can be used, or two antennas can be connected to provide antenna diversity. Some sites may experience multipath problems. Multi-pathing is likely to be a greater problem when there is no line-of-sight, and there are lots of metal structures in the path. Conductive metals reflect RF energy fairly efficiently and increase the possibility of a multipath condition. If there is clear line-of-sight, multipath is less likely to occur but can still be a problem. If using a single antenna, connect it to ANT 1.

At 2.4 GHz, this distance is 15 cm (5.9 inches). Antennas can be mounted farther apart, but most of the benefit is realized at 1.25 wavelengths. 2592_en_B PHOENIX CONTACT GmbH & Co.
