How Do Antennas Work

....THEY KNEW YOUR PHONE WOULD WORK BETTER WITH A BLACKCAT! ANTENNA,
SO THEY PUT A PORT ON IT.

ANTENNAS ARE ENGINEERED AND RATED BY THEIR "GAIN"
Antennas are measured by their GAIN, or increase of equivalent power. There is nothing magical or mystical about them - no guesswork involved in their manufacture. They are engineered to receive and transmit at certain "GAINS", over certain frequencies. Analog has it’s own frequency range, PCS operates on another. Commercial radio stations each operate on their very own specific signal - like 98.7 is a station’s specific frequency.

It seems that we have been mislead about the capability of our cell phones for so long and by so many sources, that it is difficult to believe that they will ever be anything more than a bitter-sweet. It is a fact, however, that their operation can be greatly improved, that you can, in most cases, have clear, uninterrupted conversations inside your home, office, barn, car, truck, etc.

Those reporters talking to us on a "SAT" phone from Iraq used a portable antenna to start a process that, by being relayed from antenna to antenna, got to your living room seven seconds later. Properly engineered antennas work.

COMPARING ANTENNAS
The Unity antenna that you see advertised with the term "Maximum Reception" has a GAIN OF ZERO. That’s right, it has no gain, but it does help just a little bit because it is outside, on your vehicle and your phone is a little more limited when it is inside.

A 3db GAIN antenna doubles your equivalent power, to 1.2 watts. A 6 db GAIN antenna doubles it again, to 2 watts.

And the 7db GAIN BLACKCAT! Antenna INCREASES YOUR EQUIVALENT SIGNAL STRENGTH BY OVER FIVE TIMES......AN ACTUAL INCREASE OF OVER 556 PER CENT TO THE EQUIVALENT OF 3.334 WATTS! That is stronger than the old bag phone!

AN INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SOLUTION!
If you have a tough reception problem, check out our line of Yagi antennas! They look a little like TV antennas, except much tougher built. Of course, the farther you need to go, the higher the dbi’s need to be. Our 8 element, 12 dbi Yagi is a HIGH PERFORMANCE ANTENNA. They can literally send and receive for miles. Not only are they stronger in terms of GAIN, but all of the power is focused in one direction -right at the cell phone tower!

We have them in a wide selection of antennas, coax cables and adapters. Just CALL us (449-253-9296 OR 888-713-1243 and we will list them on eBay for you.

As you probably know, there is a huge void in information about cell phone reception out there in the market place. It is also true that many "dealers" who sell antennas do not know much about them.We do our homework and while we are not engineers, we do take your frustration seriously.
