Antenna gain

[AccessITNet]

if i use more than one antenna with an sr7 is my antenna calculations the same? for example if i use a single radio at 20dbm with a 16dbi antenna and get 36db is it the same as if i output 20dbm to each antenna with 16dbi antennas or is my output increased with more antennas?

Hello,

The antenna gain does not add together. If you happen to use one 17dB and one 20 dB antenna the gain would be considerd 20 and not 37.

Thanks,

Mike
