using two antennas
I'm not very familiar with antennas and hope this is the right place to ask.
I've got an in-door WiMax modem for the internet, it came with 2 detachable small antennas but the signal was weak. My friend advised me to get an Out-door directional antenna from the market and connect it by RG58 cable to my WiMax device. I bought two 14DBi antennas and installed them on the wall from outside pointing to the transmitters then used two 1.5 Meter RG58 cables to the WiMax modem. After doing that I got an acceptable change in the signal as I got higher SINR reading so I tried on the roof of the building and I got even very much better signal but the problem if I want to install them on the roof, then I need 25 meters of RG58 cable to connect it to my indoor wimax modem which will lose all the 14 DBi.
I heard that I can use the two antennas as one to increase the gain so I can use one long cable only to my WiMax modem. Is that possible ?
Thank in Advance
