How It Works
Wilson Electronics Wide Band Log Periodic Directional Antenna will collect the cell tower
signal and send it through the cable to a signal booster, cell phone or cellular data card.
When the cell phone or cellular data card transmits, the signal is transferred to a signal
booster or directly to the antenna and broadcast back to the cell tower.

1 – Install U-Bolt (B) on pole.
2 – Slide Pipe Clamp (C) over U-Bolt (B) Flat side away from pipe.
3 – Slide antenna bracket (A) onto U-Bolt (B) in desired location.
4 – Install Flat washer (D), split lock washer (E) and nut (F), tighten as appropriate.
Note: Antenna may be installed on a variety of pipe angles, insure antenna is
pointing at cell tower and is vertical with the drip hole at the bottom.
Note: A second U-Bolt assembly has been included to strengthen antenna mounting
in windy areas repeat steps 1 thru 4 to install.
Antenna Mounting Instructions

1
Antenna Installation
The antenna should be mounted as shown in the illustration above. The included
mounting bracket is adjustable and will accommodate pipe diameters from 1.25” to 2”
(pipe sold separately). Mount the antenna so that there is at least 3 feet of clearance in
all directions around it. Position the antenna so that it has the most unobstructed line of
sight to the cellular service provider’s strongest signal. If you are using a wireless signal
booster, make sure the antenna is not pointing across your own roof.
Warning: Lightning protection is recommended for all installations (Wilson
Electronics 50 Ohm Part# 859902 or 75 Ohm Part# 859988). Take extreme care to
ensure that neither you nor the antenna comes near any electric power lines.

Adjusting the Antenna for Maximum Performance
To adjust the antenna for best performance, connect it to your cell phone with an external
adapter and a length of coaxial cable. External antenna adapters and coaxial cables
are sold separately. Put the cell phone in test mode and turn the Antenna in 10-degree
increments while checking the cell phone’s signal level. At each point you may need to
wait a few seconds as your cell phone updates.
Antenna Adapter
An external adapter may be required to connect your cellular data card directly to the
antenna. The external adapter is specific and may be purchased through a local retailer.
Important: If you are using a wireless signal booster, be sure the Antenna is not
pointing across the building in which you are trying to get coverage. The antenna
should point away from the building to help prevent oscillation (feedback).
Cell Tower
Drip hole on bottom
Once you have obtained the strongest signal, fully tighten the mounting hardware.
Ultra low loss coax is recommended for lengths 20’ or greater to prevent significant
signal loss. Wilson Electronics offers cable in several lengths from 20-1000 feet. Wilson
Electronics also offers a wide range of phone adapters to connect your cell phone to a
signal booster, or directly to the antenna.
