Twistport antenna frequency ranges?

Hi Tasos,

Sorry for possibly repetition... but can you all share what is the behavior (how bad does the gain drop off) with freq. less than 5.4 Ghz ?

I fully understand the official position as stated above... but need to know what happens below 5.4 ? (it's not like it stops working :) ! )

 

Thanks

Faisal,

The performance drop of the current TP adapters below 5.4GHz is not a big function of gain but more of VSWR and Cross Pol Isolation performance.  Gain below 5.4Ghz drops about 1db in the Hpol and 3db in the Vertical. The big difference is Cross Pol Isolation drops much more in the lower band as well as VSWR goes up to an unacceptable level for us (more than 1.8). So you are correct, the antenna does not just stop working, it just doesn't perform as well as the rest of band which it’s tuned for.

BTW- We are working on our next generation of adapters which will have full band coverage, with no compromises. ;) Stay tuned....

Received an email from Tasos about the UBNT R5AC-PRISM adapter:

Aaron,
We are working on one and it will be released mid year.

Please make a UBNT AC Prism adapter, or does the current AC Shielded version support prism if you take the shield off?

 

Guest Calpine,

no, the TwistPort Adaptor for Rocket AC (shielded as well as unshielded) is not compatible with Rocket 5AC PRISM. We are working on TwistPort adaptor for Rocket 5AC PRISM and it will be released mid year

My guess is that if they are making a twist port adapter for the R5AC Prism, it will have full band coverage.  The existing R5AC-PTMP is only capable of 5.4-5.9, so that's probably why they designed it for that coverage.
