laithmikrotik Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 hi every one if we connect any dual chain access point for example RB912 ( 1000mw tx power )+dual chain antenna , is it true that the tx power of the access point divided on 2 , so the result is 500mw for chain0 and 500mw for chain1 ..is that true ? with thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasos Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 @laithmikrotik- I'm not sure as all MFGs might do some different things. Its best to ask the MFG of the radio you want to use if that is how it works. We don't make the radios, just kick ass antennas to make them sing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Genie Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 @laithmikrotik - MFGs is an abbreviation for “manufacturers”. Basically, you need to ask the manufacturer of the radio in question. So for RB912, it would be MikroTik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wil be very thankfull if you help me to find the replay and apologize me if i insist to know it ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Genie Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 @laithmikrotik: as my colleague Tasos suggested above, this is really a question to ask the manufacturer of the radio you are talking about. You have mentioned RB912 - MikroTik forum for such questions would be - https://forum.mikrotik.com/ - so don't hesitate to ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasos Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 @laithmikrotik- In general terms what you are asking is correct but its half power in dBm. So if the radio is set to 30dBm in TX power then you will get half power to each chain which is -3db less, so 27dBm to each chain not 15dBm. DBs are measured in the log scale and are not measured in the linear scale, so half power is 3db less and 1/4 power is 6db less and so on. Does that make sense? Again, the specific manufacturer (MFG) might do something different, or perhaps their radio might have different capabilities, so you need to ask them, but in general in a MIMO type radio, the power is split between chains.
