Re: Any updates on WiFi Plus antennas lately?
Vertical and horizontal polarization are the main polarizations. WiFi Plus says they have "multi polarization", but that still seems to be hype.
There is also linear, circular, and elliptical polarization.
Maybe the last 3 aren't any better through trees then regular horizontal and vertical polarization?
However if there is multi path, where the signal is still there, then maybe circular or linear, or elliptical might be better then vertical or horizontal? |

Marlon Shaffer once said that 45 degree polarization seemed to do better than any other with trees?. Since I haven't tried it, I have no idea if this is true or not?. There won't be a lot of multipathing thru trees, as there is nothing to bounce of off, unless maybe You tried to shoot under them, and it bounced off of the ground, cars, or maybe even houses with aluminum siding?.:)

If you're in multipath then you have another problem altogether. I've seen their multipolarized antennas, and seen a couple that had been disassembled (one fell apart in a small twister actually - the other was physically taken to pieces) and I wasn't impressed. I wouldn't buy them 'cause I don't buy the theory they are putting forward regarding the signal being received but the polarization being scattered... to me it looks like they are equating rf to magnetism  |
