Re: Grid ?
Grids typically have better front to back ratios so in those cases they will work better. However because the feedhorn sticks out from the grid they are still vulnerable to sidelobe interference, but because of how a grid works it's not being collected so the gain is fairly low.
19 DB grids have the same beamwidth as 19 db panels, we actually only used a panel at a customer location if we were concerned about looks.
For distribution though, the design of the sector (and a "smart" antenna like the Vivato) gives an ideal beamwidth. We have used grids for distibution in a few cases where we only needed to cover a 7 degree swath. |
