Basic Features

Main features for UMTS Base Station Antennas

Half-power Beam Width : 65 for standard 3 Sector arrangement in cities

90 for standard 3 Sector arrangement in rural areas
45 for 6 Sector arrangement
30 for "Highway" application (high gain)

Polarization diversity : Similar diversity gain compared to space diversity

Reduced number of antennas (just 3 per base station)
Reduced support structure expense and obtrusiveness

Adjustable electrical downtilt :

Readjustment during operation
Logistic benefit due to a reduction of antenna types in
the network
Option of remote controlled adjustable electrical downtilt

-> optimized 21dBi gain version (antenna height 2.2m)

-> add-on of +0.6dB gain has required special measures
and with it an increased product price
