You also assuming the CPE is in the main lobe (and that lobe shape isn't different between the sectors).
Antenna Gain > TX Power Gain. Not only because it is bi-directional but there are plenty of benefits to increasing antenna gain and not TX power. But as Adam said... a dB is a dB photograph Daniel White Co-Founder & Managing Director of Operations phone: +1 (702) 470-2770 direct:+1 (702) 470-2766 Adam Moffett wrote on 6/12/20 11:22: > > A db is a db, but an antenna works in both directions and tx power > only works in the tx direction. > > So they'll perform the same in one direction only. > > > On 6/12/2020 1:20 PM, Josh wrote: >> >> If you have two ptmp antennas with the same sector width and same >> model ap attached to them, and one antenna is 4 db less gain then the >> other.
