Antenna Ground Plane Theory for RV and Boat Cellular Connectivity
Many antennas have a ground plane built in, but in particular magnetic mounted antennas (often kitted with mobile boosters) require one be provided. These antennas are specifically designed for automobile use, and being placed on the roof of a metal car or truck. The magnet keeps them connected to the metal roof, however, what a lot of folks don’t realize is that the metal roof is also serving as the ground plane – an integral part of the antenna’s performance. Most RVs and boats don’t have a metal roof. So what can you do?
