    Version 4 27 Feb 08 Microwave T r ansmission Considerations for the MDC There are important principles and considerations to understand when dealing with microwave frequency radiators. • As the frequency increases, the penetration of RF signals through buildin g materials, foliage, etc. decreases rapidly. Therefore, microwave signals are consider ...

    Version 4 27 Feb 08 it is absolutely necessary in order to save time. A good rule of thumb is to assume that the MDC has an antenna pattern that is about 100 degrees wide. In other words, it is necessary to point the MDC in at least 4 different directions around the room to cover the perimeter. Also, the MDC should be pointed up and possibly moved ...
