Antenna separation question

[mjbutsch]

Are there guidelines for the minimum distance between a SNAP node antenna and an antenna for another 2.4 GHz radio?

When we add SNAP to our system, we will need to mount several antennas on our box.

Thanks

The limiting factor is the specified maximum allowed receive power for the "other" node (the one not transmitting). The power that the receiver actually sees will depend on the distance (of course), the antenna, receive amplifier gain (if there is one), and the specs for the receiving transceiver.

For adjacent SNAP nodes, we recommend a minimum distance of 6 inches.

I hope that helps!
