WiFi antenna tests

[ZerBea]

A good antenna is extremely important, because antenna gain is working in both directions.
Stupid increasing TX power doesn’t raise the level of the received signal on the same unit.

I have tested some antennas. These antennas are usually included in the scope of delivery

Device:
Lanberg NC-0150-WE

Commandline:

$ sudo hcxdumptool -c 11a --tot=2 --rds=3 --rcascan=active -c 11a

antenna 1

2308 Packet(s) captured by kernel
0 Packet(s) dropped by kernel
845 BEACONs received
24 PROBEREQUESTs transmitted
3 PROBERESPONSEs received
270 undirected PROBEREQUESTs received
exit on TOT

antenna 2

4413 Packet(s) captured by kernel
55 Packet(s) dropped by kernel
1956 BEACONs received
24 PROBEREQUESTs transmitted
25 PROBERESPONSEs received
413 undirected PROBEREQUESTs received
exit on TOT

more raw packets received than the kernel can handle when running a real time display
