Video Blog - How to Assemble a Grid Antenna

High-performance grid antennas are perfect for point-to-point, point-to-multi-point and wireless bridge applications. L-com’s 2.4 GHz grid antennas can be used in 802.11b/g/n WLANs and feature a rugged design for long-term outdoor operation. Our 5 GHz grid antennas are ideal for long-range, highly directional 5.8 GHz ISM and UNII-band operations.

If a 5.8 or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi grid antenna sounds like something you need in your application  but you’re not sure how assemble one, we’re here to help with that too.  In six simple steps, we’ll have you from parts on the floor to high-gain antenna in the sky.

The process is easy, but first you should follow some safety precautions to make sure that no one will fall while working from heights, and that nothing will come in contact with power lines. All towers and masts must be securely grounded and lightning arrestors should be used on all coax cable connections.

Next, make sure you have all of the parts needed:

  • Antenna feedhorn assembly
  • Stainless steel U-bolts with nuts and washers
  • Mast clamps
  • Aluminum “L” bracket
  • Machine screws with nuts and washers
  • Antenna reflector
  • Grid section halves
