[MLB-WIRELESS] Best Radio and Antenna Gain Configuration?

[Tony Langdon]

> Which configuration will give the best signal quality:
> 
> 1) A high powered radio (200 mW) (23 dBm) with a 13 dBi Antenna, OR
> 2) A low powered radio (30 mW) (15 dBm) with a 20 dBi Antenna.

Because 802.11b is a power limited system, no 2 will give you the best
signal quality and range.  This is because the transmit antenna is usually
also the receive antenna, and antenna gain benefits both Tx and Rx equally
(unlike amplifiers and extra power)...
