1602E Radio Settings

Hi,

In 1602E following options can be chosen under dot11Radio0 interface:

AP1(config-if)#antenna ?
a-antenna use antenna A
ab-antenna use antennas A and B
abc-antenna use antennas A, B, and C

If a-antenna is chosen only one antenna will be used for transmit/receive, right?

If so, in what conditions only one antenna has advantage over 3 antenna?

TIA

That is actually antenna

That is actually antenna diversity, where in order to decrease the fading effects, we use array antennae ( multiple, A, B, C ). So where ever the signal travels from a distance and has obstacles which may decrease the signal power ,we use diff. antenna to send-receive the signal so that the resultant signal should be of fair power and finally the information could be fetched properly.Now if you are confident that the line of sight , LOS is clear ,no obstacles you may choose right ( single )
