Dano-

Thank you very much for this information - it is an exception to the general principal that TxGain = RxGain that I was unaware of.Do you know if it is a property only of parabolics with subreflectors? Does if matter if it is a Gregorian or Cassegrain design?

I have been unable to find a good description of this effect; if you know of one, I'm sure we would all appreciate seeing it.

Thanks again.

To the best of my knowledge, it is primarily involved in subreflector-type antennas. I suspect that both Gregorian and Cassegrain feeds show similar properties. Again, I believe it a function of the focused beam of the transmit signal being much "tighter" than the receive, though that is a difficult piece of data to find in the theoretical extracts generally available.

And, heck, I'm just a tech!

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
