radiators on each of the housing units, and Radi-ax running through the
floors and ceilings in Administration areas. >>
Is Radi-Ax a feedline? I'm not familiar with it. The way most indoor
systems are done is to use 'leaky' coax; that is, coax with the shield cut
away a lot. The inner conductor can then radiate. This is popular in tunnels
as well as buildings.
