FibeAir 2000 Diversity
• Antenna diversity
• Uses two antennas to improve the quality
and reliability of the link
• Each antenna experiences a different
interference environment
• The system chooses the best received Antenna diversity gain up to 15db Improve
signal providing enhanced robustness nLOS performance

• Antenna diversity requires antenna

separation, possible by two methods
• Polarization Diversity - combines a pair of
antennas with orthogonal polarizations
• Spatial Diversity - employs antennas that
are physically separated from one another
