Hey everyone.
I am new tothis stuff so I appreciate any help. I have two SXT antennas at my disposal and I placed them 3 meters apart. I connected them and placed them in a bridge mode and they work just fine. My Tx is set to 0 dbm so that they don’t burn out because of the short distance between them. I would like to simulate the behavior and see performance of the antennas as if they are 11 km apart not 3 m(the antennas should stay as the are 3 meters appart). I think i have to change something with the Tx power but as I sad i am new at this so i am clueless. Pls help a poor lost soul 
you could normally simulate signal loss by using inline attenuatiors but obviously this won’t work on the SXT’s as the antennas are integrated. The other problem is you can’t really simulate the delay incurred over distance by simply dropping the TX power on either end.
I’d suggest trying to setup either:
a) A short hop to somewhere nearby you can use for regular testing (perhaps a neighboring building or office would let you in return for some internet?)
b) Simple solution: point them both in opposite directions with as much distance between as you can get and connect with the weaker back or side signal area.
Ok i have one more question. I figured one SXT as station bridge and the other as bridge. When i do a bandwidth test i go in the one figured as station bridge and in wlan under Status i can see that there is a field called distance and it says 1km. Does that mean that the number given in there are for 1 km distance between the antennas? Because if that is the case i can figure them as if the distance is 11 km simply by lowering the tx power for the difference between the FSPL for 1 and 11km (22 dB). Also i don’t know what Tx/Rx Signal Strength Chx means. Furtheremore if i change the power form 25 to 3 dbm the throughput stays the same which is a bit strange. Help pls…
If you’re looking at the registration, that 1km figure is calculated based on the ack time between the devices, it would increase automatically if you were at distance.
