Hello, How many antennas is needed in order to gain antenna diversity, If using AP650 on b/g only mode? If two only, which antenna ports should be used then? -markus-

Hi Markus, No idea why your specialist would say that. It's wrong. Your original question (diversity for b/g only on an AP650) is very straightforward. With only 2 antenna connections that are capable of transmitting there's no diversity benefit for 11a/g rates to have anything more than 2 antennas. Of course if you want the receive sensitivity benefits of a MIMO receiver, then 3 are better than 2. But that has nothing what-so-ever to do with diversity. CSH
Diversity would require two antennas. As the AP650 is a 2x3 design you'd want to use the transmit antennas for a diversity solution. The antenna connections have RX and TX information stamped physically on the unit next to the connector. CSH
Chris, I got another answer form our specialist saying that with our MIMO AP´s you need to have 3 antennas in order to get diversity. Would like to know what is the truth here? -markus-
