![]() ![]() ![]() Measure signal strength and coverage before (with mock positioning), during (as you install), and after to guarantee that you have the coverage you want-and don’t have the coverage you don’t want (for example with self-interference: APs hearing each other or other AP stations on the same channel). With that in mind, use these radiation plots as a "general guide" to identify where most of the energy (and receive sensitivity) of the UniFi APs is being directed but keep present that the ultimate way to know how successful the coverage design is-is to measure it. Every deployment will behave differently due to interference, materials, geometries of structures, and how these materials behave at 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Their shape, peak gain/directivity and efficiency will change in installed environments. Please note that these radiation patterns are gathered in a fully anechoic environment. These patterns are what antenna engineers call reciprocal-in that the transmit-power (the capability of the AP to ‘speak’) will be highest at the peaks, and so will the receive-sensitivity (the capability of the AP to ‘hear’). Radiation patterns can be used to better understand how each UniFi access point model broadcasts wireless signal. For an explanation on how to read antenna radiation patterns see UniFi - Introduction to Antenna Radiation Patterns. Use this article to compare the different antenna radiation patterns of our UniFi Access Points. ![]()
