Hello!
I had a query, i had to set up a link, for which, i will be using a Flat panel Antenna, with a Parabolic antenna.
My query now is, i have a clear line of sight, will the two modems, be able to communicate with each other ?
I am told, that since, both antennas have different waveguides, they may not be able to communicate with each other. I am now a bit confused.
I cannot use parabolic antennas on both sides, because of some specific reasons.
Thanks
Wanna offer some clues as to why you cannot use parabolic antennas? A
24dBi wire grid dish antenna is MUCH cheaper than a panel antenna with the same gain. As for not being able to communicate, there's nothing inherent in the design of the antenna that will prevent one type of antenna from communicating with a different type. Sounds like a pile of technobabble in order to sell you an overpriced panel antenna.ahh phooey I've had every kind of antenna imaginable talking to everything and been as happy as can be,,, but it really is usually the least noise signal with matching antenna styles. My experience anyhow.
Care to mention HOW FAR APART these two are?
parabolic to panel isn't a problem, distance might be.

Also the polarisation is critical, vertical, horizontal, left-hand circular, right-hand circular.
Although Vertical will talk to circular (LHC or RHC) with a 3db loss on quoted gain.
